Welcome back! In today’s Friday Rant, I talk about the difference between chasing the thing and staying true to the mission. The thing can be a deal, a client, or a specific outcome—but if you attach your happiness to that, you’re in for a rough ride. Not every deal closes. Not every client signs. Not every goal gets hit. But when you anchor yourself to the mission—your values, your purpose, the impact you want to create—you’ll find peace even when the outcomes don’t go your way.
Key Highlights:
- Mission vs. Outcome: A deal falling through doesn’t mean you’ve failed if you’re still living your mission.
- Detach from Results: When you base your happiness on outcomes you can’t control, disappointment is inevitable.
- My Mission: To impact as many people as possible at all times—not tied to money, clients, or numbers.
- Why Expectations Hurt: Most frustration comes from expecting results you never had control over in the first place.
- The Bigger Picture: If you’re learning, growing, and chasing your mission, then you’re winning—even without the short-term outcome.
Final Thoughts:Don’t let deals, clients, or outcomes define you. Anchor yourself to your mission, and you’ll always be moving forward no matter what.
If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs the reminder. See you on the next one!
