The Mental Offload Podcast

The Two Billionaires


Listen Later

You might think that when you finally get that promotion, get your dream house perfectly set up, or have that magic number in your bank account, you'll be set.

Not only will you have achieved a big goal, but you're sure you'll feel better, too! Perhaps you think you'll feel more confident, more secure, more fulfilled…

I used to think that, too.

And then, I had dinner with two billionaires, who could not have been more different from each other. They taught me an important truth: that reaching your biggest and baddest goals will not fundamentally change who you are.

Unless you allow it to change you right now.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why achieving a big goal won't change how you feel about yourself

  • The psychological phenomenon of the hedonic treadmill, and why it matters when you're playing big

  • How to think about the direction of causality with how we feel about ourselves and our goals

  • The key steps you need to take now, while you're still working on a goal that will allow you to feel more confident, more secure, and good enough
