Dan Martell - There is no place to get to for you to feel enough

00:00:00.000 If I asked you, what are your dreams and goals in life?

00:00:02.460 And we made a list of those things.

00:00:04.080 That list are the rules that need to be met for you to feel happy.

00:00:09.460 I was coaching one of my clients once.

00:00:11.240 She was a very successful entrepreneur doing about six or seven million.

00:00:14.500 And I asked her, what's the big goal?

00:00:15.840 She said, a hundred million exit within the next three years.

00:00:18.780 I said, cool, easy.

00:00:19.660 I'm just curious why.

00:00:20.700 And she says to me, so that I can finally tell them all F you.

00:00:24.960 And I was like, interesting.

00:00:25.980 Have you ever Googled what percent of women-led businesses have achieved $7 million in revenue?

00:00:32.620 She's like, no.

00:00:33.420 Turns out it's 0.02%.

00:00:35.680 I then asked her, what are you waiting for?

00:00:37.980 You've actually already achieved the thing you've been wanting to do.

00:00:40.460 You created this arbitrary rule that unless it's $100 million exits within the next three years,

00:00:46.820 that you're not allowed to tell them, F you.

00:00:49.980 And when I shared that with her, she broke down.

00:00:52.360 Because she realized there was no place to get to.

00:00:55.440 The process is to learn to enjoy the journey, fall in love with the work.
