Why Thinking Bigger Makes Success Simpler
"In other words, the easiest way to get 2x growth is by going for 10x, because 10x forces you to stop almost everything you’re doing, which is ultimately a waste of time anyway."
🔍 The Power of 10X Thinking
Most people believe that doubling their success requires twice the effort, but Hardy and Sullivan flip that thinking upside down. Their argument? When you aim for 10x growth, you’re forced to eliminate distractions, strip away inefficiencies, and laser-focus on the one thing that will create the biggest impact. Instead of getting lost in incremental gains, you shift your mindset to exponential transformation.
This concept has reshaped the way I approach work with my teams. We talk about intentional focus—not just working harder, but working smarter. If you could do just one thing this year that would generate the most value, what would it be? That’s your 10X move. Everything else? A distraction.
🎯 Stop Chasing Small Wins, Go All-In on Big Moves
The biggest takeaway from 10X Is Easier Than 2X is simplification through extreme focus. When you commit to big goals, you have no choice but to let go of the wasted effort that doesn’t serve your larger vision.
Think about it—how many projects, meetings, or minor tasks do you work on that don’t really push you forward? Imagine cutting all that out and focusing entirely on the one thing that truly moves the needle. That’s what elite performers do.
Instead of spreading your energy across multiple goals, pick one big target and pour everything into it. Whether it’s closing a high-value client, delivering a game-changing product, or hitting a revenue milestone, commit fully to that single priority and execute relentlessly.
