Milan Amin
Society has always taught us the value of having high expectations.
We expect that if we work hard, we’ll be successful. We expect that we’ll finally be happy once we receive a promotion or earn six figures. We expect that being an entrepreneur will result in status and wealth. However, the danger of hinging our happiness on these goals means that we’ll inevitably be crushed if they aren’t met.
Our guest today is familiar with the anxiety that stems from unmet expectations. After building multiple start-ups, Milan Amin realised that the goals he had set for himself stemmed from a place of fear instead of fulfilment. By subscribing to the belief that having high expectations would lead to success, he felt that he was forever striving for ‘more’ to feel happy. Once he discovered that the ‘why’ behind his decisions mattered more than the goal itself, he was able to relinquish control over his life and achieve the fulfilment he had always wanted.
