If you’re an achiever, whether you notice it or not, you’re on a dangerous path.
Why?
Well, most achievers fall into something I call the “Achiever’s Trap.” It’s an endless vicious cycle of achieving. Now, that might not sound dangerous at first, but a constant desire for success can only lead to burnout, isolation, depression, and even an early death.
There are other things which, believe it or not, are more important to your long-term happiness and longevity than success alone.
In today’s show, you’ll discover how the Achiever’s Trap mangles your happiness, why it can lead to an early death, and what you should focus on instead of success to live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.
