WHY is it important?

Big goals are more powerful than small incremental goals.
They are so big that they motivate you, they get you excited.
Additionally, they help to focus. In order to reach a 10x goal, you’ll need to determine what you say yes to, what you say no to.

When you set a goal to reach a 10x bigger future, something immediately happens to your thinking, your ideas, your decision-making, your communication and your determination.

Small goals don’t engage people the same way intellectually and emotionally.

WHEN can it be used?

Surprisingly, you should create really big 10x goals whenever you feel overwhelmed with your usual incremental goals. Big goals will help you to focus, they will motivate you. Also, big goals are contagious, people around you will want to be part of your big story.

HOW to apply the technique at work?

Don’t limit your thinking!
Remember: 10x thinking is easier than 2x.
Also, the 10x goal isn’t 10x more difficult to reach than a usual goal.
