Focusing on Gains Over Gaps
We all live busy lives creating, working, building new things, supporting families, dealing with hardships, and living life. Sometimes we can feel like we’re spinning in circles and not getting much accomplished.
Dan Sullivan first coined the concept:
“Focus on the gains over gaps.”
In a nutshell, the idea is to reflect and list down what you have accomplished, while avoiding thoughts of ‘Oh but I could have done more…” or ‘Yes, but I didn’t do these other things.’
It can be a powerful way to quickly reenergize and get back in the mindset of moving forward.
Topics Discussed:
- Focus on the wins

Each day you create, you’re winning.

Hey! I’m Devani, a multi-passionate creator who enjoys honing the craft of writing (mostly;)), photography, cooking, podcasting, learning about business, and growing brands. I’m the former co-host of the iCreateDaily Podcast with LeAura Alderson (my mom), and co-founded the iCreateDaily brand. I hope through the content and products we produce, you will be inspired to start, sustain, and succeed in your goals.
My non-business and artistic hobbies include: enjoying a good movie, discovering obscure but epic music, obsessing over The Beatles, and developing fictional stories in my head. My Maltese dog, Caspian, provides an insane amount of creative inspiration by just being his adorable self. #HeWokeUpLikeThat. 😉
