Comment on Are You Creative Or Reactive? by Ryan Critchett

Definitely with it. It’s interesting, because there certainly is an inclination out there to go with the more conservative, incremental (as you say), methodology for growth.

But, like you’re saying, which I totally agree with, that’s a great way to limit your capacity to grow.

Fascinating concept of the 10x perspective. It has sparked some interesting thought and reflection on growing my life and business 10x. Thanks for the article!

Comment on How Do You Make 10x Growth “Normal”? by Norman Hallett

Great post, Dan.

10X seems a ‘way out there’ concept at first introduction. But, as you suggest, the more you integrate the 10X thinking, the more it becomes believable… then a reality. It’s a new concept to me (to leap THAT far in one thought), but I’m enjoying the ride… and yes, I’ll buckle up!

Comment on Two Words That Create A Bigger Future: “Ten Times” by Cathy Presland

I love this. It was a real game-changer for me when I started to think not just double (well quadruple is usally where I go in my head!) but 10 times. It really opens the imagination.

Thanks

These blog posts are so full of good sense that I keep reading them and going back over the older ones. Gives me the feeling of hanging out with someone who knows the secrets. Glad you are making these ideas available, Dan. Have re read the book “Unique Ability” a few times recently as well. Thank you for such excellence.

Comment on Why Smart Entrepreneurs Always Have A “Plan B” by Eddie

Good article Dan! I like the thought of fallback positions such as plan B, plan C, etc. Keep your articles coming…

Barry – the way I see it, assuming they had the choice, “Plan B” for the Greek generals was choosing to stay in the army or which battles to fight. Upon landing on enemy shores, the generals made sure their soldiers were 100% committed to win – my guess there were no “general’s only” boats left either.

Sure, Barry. Let me clarify. The piece on burning the boats was specifically about making the decision to be an entrepreneur and not looking back (that is, not considering throwing in the towel and “getting a job” as a fallback plan). Making a go of it as an entrepreneur has to be the only option. When faced with a setback, a smart entrepreneur is always going to find another way to succeed using his or her entrepreneurial abilities and resources, which is what the post on having a “Plan B” is about. The smartest entrepreneurs recognize the parts of their businesses that are particularly vulnerable to events beyond their control and plan for the possibility that they may lose certain multipliers and have to make up those losses in other ways. Their fundamental decision to be an entrepreneur is never in question. Hope that helps!

So Dan, it would seem that this blog piece contradicts the “Plan B” blog. One said “Burn the boats, there is no other option” while the other said “Always have plan B.”

That’s a curious contradiction. But maybe it’s simple and I’m just slow.

Please help us unpack it.
