Have you ever delved into the fascinating world of the ‘profit game ‘?

This game, as I understand it, is a mindset shift in which we aim to profit daily, not just in monetary terms but also in terms of personal and professional growth.

Perhaps you’ve come across it in your journey. Maybe you’re even a participant. My mentor introduced me to this transformative concept, igniting a fresh perspective on personal and professional development.

“Master the rules of the game until you can play it better they can.”
― Michael Scott

I learned about the profit game a few days back while attending my mentor session. As soon as I heard about it, I got excited. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear this term?

Like most people, your mind is diverted to making a profit in terms of money. It is OK. We always think of money when we think of the word profit.

But can we play this game in other ways? In this game, we have to profit daily for 30–40 days straight. Some of you think it seems overwhelming. My mentor had told a different story.

He said you have to make a profit daily. There should be no excuse. Now you may think, ‘ Is it possible to make a profit daily? ‘ Yes, it’s possible.

“The game itself is bigger than the winning.”
― Dejan Stojanovic

But if you think about it in monetary terms, it seems unrealistic. Money cannot be earned daily sometimes. So, how will you win this game? My mentor had a different view. He said profit does not mean only money.

You can profit from completing something, achieving something, doing something, or earning. In other words, profit is about any positive outcome or gain, not just financial.

If you have done something that makes you happy today, it is a profit. If you gain a new follower, it is a profit. If someone praises you, it is a profit. If you help someone, it is a profit.

See how effortlessly you can make a profit daily. This new mindset is stimulating. I had never pondered in this manner before. The idea of making a profit daily sounds exciting.

“A small profit it better than a big loss”
― Ron Rash

My mentor said that if you have yet to make a profit, sell one toffee to someone. This is a symbolic way of saying that even if you haven’t achieved something significant, you can still find small wins in your day.

But only end your day with profit. Your mind should be programmed to win every day, irrespective of conditions.

So, are you excited to make this game a part of your life? If yes, start right now. You will love this game when you start playing it. Playing a profit game will challenge you to make a profit daily.

The benefits of this mindset shift are increased motivation, a sense of accomplishment, and a more positive outlook on life. Sooner, your mind will think differently and start thinking about profit.
