The Mental Shift That Will Change Your Business, Wealth & Life | The Gap and the Gain Book Review
Watch the webinar on the Rockefeller Method now: Are you chasing success but never feeling like you’ve “made it”? On today’s episode, Darren and Christina break down one of the most powerful mindset frameworks from Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s book The Gap and The Gain. This concept is a game-changer for entrepreneurs, investors, and high achievers who constantly feel like they’re falling short—no matter how much progress they’ve actually made. Instead of measuring yourself against impossible ideals or competitors (the gap), what if you measured progress against where you started (the gain)? Darren and Christina share how they’ve applied this mental model in business, investing, health, and life—and how it’s helped them, their clients, and their team stay motivated, avoid burnout, and actually enjoy success. Tune in now! Show notes: 00:00 - Introduction 3:00 - What is the gap and what is the gain? 7:35 - Reflecting on past successes 11:20 - Appreciating your success 14:00 - Incorporating your “3 gains” 19:15 - How does this apply to you? 23:20 - Actionable steps BOOK A CALL WITH US NOW: FIND US ON: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/controlandcompound/ TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@controlandcompound?lang=en FACEBOOK: JOIN OUR FACEBOOK COMMUNITY: - Thank you for tuning in to this episode.

The #1 Mistake Business Owners Make (and How a Buy-Sell Agreement Saves Your Legacy)
Watch the webinar on the Rockefeller Method now: What happens to your business if your partner dies, divorces, becomes disabled… or just wants out? On today’s episode, Darren and Christina break down one of the most overlooked — yet absolutely critical — tools for business owners: the Buy-Sell Agreement. A buy-sell agreement isn’t just a legal document. It’s a business-saving strategy that protects your company, your partners, your family, and your legacy when the unexpected happens. Whether you’re a doctor in a practice, a real estate investor with JV partners, or running a family-owned business — this is an episode you can’t afford to miss. Here’s what we cover in this episode: What is a Buy-Sell Agreement? (and why every business needs one) The devastating risks of NOT having a plan in place Real-world stories of businesses saved (or destroyed) by buy-sells The importance of business valuations (and CRA compliance in Canada) Key clauses every buy-sell agreement should include (shotgun clause, first right of refusal, tag-along/drag-along, and more) Why funding matters — and how life insurance is the smartest, most tax-efficient tool to protect your business Cross purchase vs. share redemption: how to structure agreements properly Tax advantages of using insurance inside your corporation Legacy and succession planning for multi-generational businesses Darren and Christina share real client examples, common mistakes, and practical strategies that could save your company millions — and prevent your family from inheriting chaos instead of wealth. If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or investor, this is an essential episode for protecting everything you’ve worked for. Show notes: 00:00 - Introduction 1:55 - What is a buy-sell agreement? 7:50 - Common clauses in a buy-sell agreement 15:35 - Funding a buy-sell agreement 21:00 - How does it work when you die?

While most people think of insurance as just a payout when you die, the rich think of it as a living benefit — a financial engine they can access and control throughout their lifetime. We break down how Canadians — business owners, real estate investors, and even everyday families — can use this exact strategy to unlock liquidity, minimize tax, and build multi-generational wealth.
