Deep dives

The Significance of Anticipating Success

The host emphasizes that the most exhilarating part of achieving a goal is the moment when one realizes that success is within reach, not necessarily when the goal is accomplished. This anticipation, when one is 80-85% close to achieving the goal, brings the most joy, based on the host's experiences with business goals and personal milestones like finding a partner. This psychological insight challenges the notion that the peak of accomplishment is the actual attainment of the goal; instead, it's the journey leading up to it that holds the most excitement.
