Monthly Round Up: Book Club - The Gap and The Gain (December 2023 - January 2024)
A quick round up of our study of "The High Achievers' Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success".
Hey Fellow Planner and Creative 👋🏽 for the months of December and January we’ve been studying Dan Sullivan and Dr Benjamin Hardy’s "guide to happiness, success, and confidence from their book “The Gap and the Gain”(affiliate link *).
In case you’re a new subscriber, we covered a lot - here’s a break of what you might have missed:
An Alternative Approach to Goal-Setting for Embracing it as a Learning Experience to Gain From.
A Mini Tool Kit for the Work-From-Home Parent Building a One Person Business to Redefine Success.
How to Stop Self-Doubt and Start Focusing on Your Own Creative Journey - A Guide for Content Creators in their 40s to Build More Self-Esteem.
A Unique Approach to Setting Goals to Avoid Chasing an Idealised Future.
Why We Doom-Scroll Before Bed and What to do About it.
3 Mindset Shifts for Midlife Content Creators to Transform Challenges into Opportunities
Phew, that was a lot! But we did go deep on some really juice topics that I cherry picked for us from each chapter of the book. These topics are close to my heart because they’re the mud I often find myself sat in.
The biggest take-away I’d want to drive home from going deep in “The Gap and The Gain” is that success doesn’t come from stressing about how far you have left to get “there”, it comes from constantly celebrating each step you’ve taken, then making improvements for the next step forward.
Next Month…
Our theme for February, umm, well…
I’ve started reading the Kindle version of Ali Abdaal’s “Feel-Good Productivity” (affiliate link*), so it could be that, but I’m undecided at the time of writing this.

Paid members also got access to my “The Gap and The Gain” book notes.
