EP 83: No One Loves An Anti-Climax


Listen Later

Ever wondered why achieving your goals sometimes feels like an anti-climax?

We’ve all been there—ticking  off a milestone only to realise we can still feel unfulfilled. It’s easy to assume that reaching a financial goal, or hitting a career-high should be the pinnacle for fulfillment. 

But what if there’s more to it?

In this episode of Inside The Mind, Allie May and Jen Forster delve into the shifting focus from tangible results—like making millions or shedding kilos—to the intangible, such as feeling satisfied, spacious, and at peace. They explore the new paradigm where intangible markers are just as important, if not more, than traditional measurements of success. 

Tune in as they break down the 80/20 balance and explain why it’s crucial to blend the tangible with the intangible for a truly fulfilling life and business.


Episode Highlights:

  • (1:10) – Allie introduces today’s topic: the growing desire for intangible results in life and business. 

  • (2:48) – Jen and Allie discuss how traditional markers like “making $10K a month” or “finding the one” are no longer the sole indicators of success. 

  • (4:27) – The 80/20 balance comes into play. This shift is a game-changer for business owners and coaches alike.

  • (7:22) – The hosts remind us that feelings of spaciousness, choice, and internal satisfaction are just as important as the results.

  • (8:50) – Allie and Jen share examples of people who’ve achieved financial success, only to feel disconnected from their happiness. They discuss the importance of aligning your internal world with your external achievements.

  • (12:25) – Allie and Jen encourage coaches and business owners to continue embracing the intangible.

  • Action Items:

    • When setting goals, balance the tangible with the intangible. For example, instead of just focusing on financial milestones, also remember to enjoy yourself along the way. 

    • Make it a point to assess not just your tangible outcomes (like revenue or fitness) but also how you feel during the process.

    • If you’re a coach or business owner, begin showcasing the intangible results your clients are achieving.

    • Quotes:

      • "Success isn’t just measured by the amount of money in the bank; it’s also about how we feel about ourselves and how we feel about the money in the bank.”

      • "If we only measure our worth by the money we make, we’ll never feel enough. True success is found in how we feel about ourselves." – Allie May

      • Takeaways:

        • Balance Is Key: Both tangible and intangible markers of success are essential. One without the other leads to a life that can feel incomplete - no matter how much money you have, how great your relationship is, or how great you look.

        • Focus on Feelings: If you’re not feeling good while achieving your goals, it’s time to reevaluate what success truly means to you. 

        • Value the Intangibles: Intangible results like happiness, peace, and satisfaction are worth celebrating and are also indicators of a life well-lived. All of which deserve equal weight to traditional success markers.
