Shownotes

In this episode, we discuss the importance of focusing on what you're moving towards rather than what you're moving away from. The host starts off by sharing a quote from their mentor, Dan Miller, emphasizing that when you focus on what you're moving away from, it leads to negative emotions like fear, resentment, anger, and even depression. However, when you have a clear picture of what you're moving towards, it instills confidence, boldness, and enthusiasm that propel you forward.

The host highlights that when you chase goals out of fear, it often paralyzes you, preventing you from taking action. Making decisions based on fear makes it challenging to make the right choices because you become afraid of what you might lose. On the contrary, when decisions are made based on what you can gain, the answers become clear much faster.


The host encourages listeners to challenge themselves when making decisions. They suggest asking whether the decision is being made out of fear and, if so, finding ways to shift the perspective so that the decision is driven by the potential gains rather than the fear of loss. They emphasize the importance of focusing on what will be gained rather than what will not be lost.


The host warns against making decisions based on the smallest loss or the lesser of two evils. They stress that even a small loss is still a loss, and it is better to make decisions that focus on gain, even if it is a smaller gain. Each decision made with a focus on gain contributes positively to overall progress.


In conclusion, the host urges listeners to consider whether they are making decisions out of fear of loss or with a focus on the gains they can achieve. By shifting the perspective and focusing on what can be gained, decisions become clearer and contribute to personal and professional growth.
