In the previous post, I introduced the idea of using a “10x perspective” as a multiplier, imagining what it would look like if the results you were getting in life were ten times greater, ten times better.
Here are some of my initial thoughts on what it means to think about the future in this way:
- Investment: If something isn’t going to produce or contribute to a 10x result, it’s not worth your time, attention, or effort.
- Distinction: Looked at from the 10x perspective, everything belongs in one of two categories — “the past” or “the future.”
- Qualities: Everything that contributes to 10x has four qualities — faster, easier, cheaper, and bigger.
- Material: Everything in your business can continually be transformed into a better building block for endless 10x improvement and growth.
- Transformation: If you have a 10x perspective about every aspect of your life, everything will continually transform itself to support your progress.
- Tools: You surround yourself with the thinking tools that help you appreciate, learn from, and accelerate your progress.
- Solutions: The continual achievement of 10x progress solves every problem you will ever have by creating endless new opportunities, resources, and capabilities.
- Energy: 10x progress is much easier to achieve and expand on than incremental progress because it motivates and energizes everyone who comes into contact with it.
- Uniqueness: Focusing on 10x progress immediately sorts out what each person’s Unique Ability is and shows how all of these abilities need to contribute to one another.
- Ease: You find it incomparably easier to stay within your Unique Ability as you focus on growing your business and your life 10x.
Start asking yourself what a 10x result would look like in each area of your business and life. You’ll begin to notice dramatically bigger possibilities for the future that make it increasingly easier to make decisions and take action in the present.
