#17 How to Redefine Success With a "Gain" Mindset
n this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, host Chris LeBrun explores a powerful mindset shift that can dramatically transform how you measure success, sustain motivation, and experience joy along the way.
Drawing inspiration from the book The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Chris explains why most people unknowingly measure progress the wrong way—through what’s missing (the gap)—and how this leads to burnout, low self-esteem, and toxic productivity.
Instead, discover how to adopt gain thinking: a proven framework for measuring success by how far you’ve come, not how far you have to go.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between gap thinking and gain thinking
- Why chasing ever-changing ideals sabotages happiness
- How measuring backwards can rewire your brain
- Practical tips for using gratitude to fuel momentum
- How to stop letting others define your success
If you’ve ever felt like your goals are always just out of reach, this mindset shift will help you reclaim your sense of purpose and celebrate the progress you’ve already made.
