Rick White tells auto repair shop owners that chasing growth usually masks a deeper need for peace, freedom, or happiness. Hitting goals rarely delivers the feeling you expected because each win just creates the next problem. Without stopping to actually enjoy what you've built, you end up running a business you never get to experience.

Chapters

you're not chasing growth. You're chasing a feeling. It might be peace or freedom or a sense of control or happiness or a feeling of success. But here's what actually happens. You hit the goal and nothing changes. Why is that? Because there's always a new problem. There's always a new target. You didn't solve it, you didn't arrive at it, you just moved it. If you don't slow down enough to savor what you're creating, you're gonna build a life you never get to experience. The problem isn't your goals. The problem is you've convinced yourself that you're gonna feel better when you hit them. And that day never comes.
