49. 3 Problems That’ll Stop You From 10X-ing Your Business

"Enormous growth doesn't require more effort, but better effort." Curt Stowers, a math and science wiz turned financial planner, joins Wally today to talk about how and why you should 10x your business instead of striving to 2x it. 

Ever wondered why setting big, audacious goals often seem a herculean task? We unpack the challenges linked to our mindset and explore the power of thinking beyond boundaries to achieve extraordinary results, a lesson we learned from "10X is Easier Than 2X" by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. 

We dig into the art of focusing on needle-moving tasks instead of wading through the weeds, and Curt emphasizes the role of an abundance mindset in scaling the success ladder. 

Key Takeaways:

• What it takes to have the 10X mindset 
• 3 problems that often stop us from going 10X
• Qualitative thinking vs. quantitative thinking in your business
• Identifying what you really want

We round off our engaging conversation with a discussion on shunning scarcity, welcoming abundance, and propelling goals 10X, drawing from the lessons in the book, "10X is Easier than 2X".
