Truth bomb time.

In spite of working my butt off to get there, ascending to wholesaling didn't bring the happiness I expected.

Perhaps you have a similar story.

You went to school and, when that degree was in hand, you thought you'd arrived.

Until you got your first distribution gig as an internal and then, surely, now you had arrived.

Until you learned more about external wholesaling, made it your business to get promoted, and NOW you most certainly, positively, had arrived.

Until the 7-year wholesaler itch started to flare up, so you sought happiness in management (yes, I wrote those words 🤣) which, you're finding out, isn't the solution at all.

Enter The Arrival Fallacy.

“Arrival fallacy is this illusion that once we make it, once we attain our goal or reach our destination, we will reach lasting happiness,” said Tal Ben-Shahar, the Harvard-trained positive psychology expert who is credited with coining the term.

As one short Sunday Night Email cannot do this SUPER IMPORTANT topic justice, I offer:

A listen: "The Science of Happiness with Dr. Laurie Santos"
 

A read: "You Accomplished Something Great. So Now What?"
