I talked with a disheartened early-stage SaaS founder in my private community last week. He was drowning in self-doubt and was frustrated by the lack of progress with his SaaS startup. He said: - "I should have made more progress by now" - "I often experience imposter syndrome" - "I am starting to doubt myself" He was struggling with the perceived *gap* between his current reality vs. where he was 'supposed' to be I know many of us can relate. So, I offered him a different perspective. I told him about the 'reverse gap'. I once heard Vishen Lakhiani, founder of Mindvalley, talk about it (original credit goes to Dan Sullivan): - Instead of worrying about the 'future gap' - Focus your attention on the 'reverse gap' - Look at where you were 2 years ago - Celebrate how far you've come Sure, it's still important to have goals. But the 'reverse gap' helps you recognize your journey. This simple shift can dramatically boost your morale and happiness. And it will change your perspective fast. So, take a moment today to celebrate your 'reverse gap'. You're probably further along than you realize! --- Want more insights to help build and grow your SaaS?
