As he did in WHO NOT HOW, Dr. Benjamin Hardy shares one of Dan Sullivan's simple yet profound teachings that until now has been known only to his Strategic Coach clients: unsuccessful people focus on The Gap, but successful people focus on The Gain.

[T]his one simple concept is a masterclass on positive psychology, healthy relationships, mental well-being, and high-performance. Everything that psychologists know about how to create a high-functioning and successful person can be achieved using The GAP and the GAIN.- Dr. Benjamin Hardy

Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. We all have an ideal, a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we're in the GAP. However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we're in the GAIN.

That is where the GAP and the GAIN concept comes in. It was developed by legendary entrepreneur coach Dan Sullivan and is based on his work with tens of thousands of successful entrepreneurs. When Dan's coaching clients periodically take stock of all that they've accomplished-both personally and professionally-they are often shocked at how much they have actually achieved. They weren't able to appreciate their progress because no matter how much they were getting done, they were usually measuring themselves against their ideals or goals.

In this book you will learn that measuring your current self vs. your former self has enormous psychological benefits. And that's really the key to this deceptively simple yet multi-layered concept that will have you feeling good, feeling grateful, and feeling like you are making progress even when times are tough, which will in turn bolster motivation, confidence, and future success.

If you're finding that happiness eludes you no matter how much you've achieved, then learning this easy mindset shift will set you on a life-changing path to greater fulfillment and success.

The world's foremost entrepreneurial coach shows you how to make a mindset shift that opens the door to explosive growth and limitless possibility--in your business and your life.

Have you ever had a new idea or a goal that excites you... but not enough time to execute it? What about a goal you really want to accomplish...but can't because instead of taking action, you procrastinate? Do you feel like the only way things are going to get done is if you do them? But what if it wasn't that way? What if you had a team of people around you that helped you accomplish your goals (while you helped them accomplish theirs)?

When we want something done, we've been trained to ask ourselves: How can I do this? Well, there is a better question to ask. One that unlocks a whole new world of ease and accomplishment. Expert coach Dan Sullivan knows the question we should ask instead: Who can do this for me?

This may seem simple. And it is. But don't let the lack of complexity fool you. By mastering this question, you will quickly learn how billionaires and successful entrepreneurs like Dan build incredible businesses and personal freedom.

This book will teach you how to make this essential paradigm-shift so you can:
- Build a successful business effectively while not killing yourself
- Immediately free-up 1,000+ hours of work that you shouldn't be doing anyway
- Bypass the typical scarcity and decline of aging and other societal norms
- Increase your vision in all areas of life and build teams of WHOs to support you in that vision
- Never be limited in your goals and ambitions again
- Expand your abundance of wealth, innovation, relationships, and joy
- Build a life where everything you do is your choice--how you spend your time, how much money you make, the quality of your relationships, and the type of work you do

Making this shift involves retraining your brain to stop limiting your potential based on what you solely can do and instead focus on the nearly infinite and endless connections between yourself and other people as well as the limitless transformation possible through those connections.

You have a number--we all do. Once your brain locks onto your imagined lifespan, your body accepts it as fact. You create your number based upon family history, genetics, or averages. This number shapes the way you view the world: relationships, finances, retirement--everything. But what if you could extend your number? The result would be astounding. Everything could change.

The idea in this book has revolutionized the lives of tens of thousands of people. You might even say it has added years to their lives--literally. Although it could sound a bold claim, in their own words, here are just 10 quick benefits readers often experience when they apply this content.

Dave Warner is an aerospace engineer located in Houston.

When the answer land in his lap, Dave is stunned by the rest of the story.

Tales from the Land of No Mondays is more than a story; it's a fantastic voyage, a mostly fictional story about a man's journey from the drudgery of a corporate career to finally living the dream of doing what he loved, singing and telling stories in paradise. To the casual reader, it is a fun read with some occasionally quirky, rhyming story lines. To his fans, Tales is a wonderful ride through the stories, the songs, and the lyrics of Jim Morris.

A magnificent read that introduces the reader to an incredible account of one the most important events in American History. The Greatest Patriot provokes the reader's curiosity as it poses the question what if? Sullivan is Clancy-esque in his use of historical details, creating a world where Dealy Plaza was not the end, but only the beginning; a world in which President Kennedy makes an unspeakable, yet necessary, decision to save his country and the world. Sullivan successfully spins a suspenseful plot, delighting the reader with splendid historical nuggets woven into an intricate story of intrigue and mystery. Fans of Dan Brown, Clancy and Grisham will be enthralled by this thought-provoking drama that plunges them into an astonishing alternative view of history. The story follows the life of JFK after the assassination, the struggles of Hal Rumsey, the secret service agent who guarded the president, and the journalist, Mike Mahoney, who must choose whether or not to expose the staggering truth. Will the truth be revealed or buried with the few who were entrusted to keep the secret of America's Greatest Patriot? From the opening paragraph to its extraordinary conclusion, The Greatest Patriot captivates the reader with the desire to know if this might just be how it really happened. As the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination rapidly approaches, Sullivan stimulates the imagination with a world where Camelot lived on.

Most entrepreneurs are fixated on their competition and on external conditions they can't control. To them, cash flow is a constant source of worry. What they don't realize is that their success isn't actually about them at all. It's about who they can create value for and what those people aspire to.

Entrepreneurs who know exactly how they create value can cross over a line where cash flow becomes certain, and the model they've created continually improves. Once you reach this point, you become totally confident that your cash flow will always be predictable-regardless of how the world outside your company changes.

Each of us has our own set of dangers (things we're afraid of losing), opportunities (the possibility of gaining something), and strengths (our unique skills and experience). I call these our D.O.S. issues, and I'll show you how to use them every day as your key to never-ending growth.

This also gives you a repeatable way to gain insight into what matters most to your clients and prospects, and cultivate a growth-focused relationship with them. By having a D.O.S. Conversation with your clients that illuminates their personal dangers, opportunities, and strengths, you make yourself an invaluable part of their future - and make your product-focused competitors seem irrelevant.
