“10x is easier than 2x” — sounds like a marketing trick, right? That’s exactly what I thought at first. Until I started reading the book by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy.
Instead of telling you to hustle harder, this book teaches something radically different:
✅ 2x growth usually means doing more of the same, just faster or longer.
✅ 10x growth requires you to change your thinking, eliminate noise, and focus on what really matters.
It challenged me to let go of tasks I was doing just because I’ve always done them. And that’s hard! Especially when you’re used to saying yes to everything. But here’s what I’ve learned: when you free yourself from the “busy” work, you create space for the important work.
Here are three key shifts I made after reading this book:
- Delegate with intention. I stopped micromanaging and started trusting my team more. That alone gave me hours back every week.
- Focus on my “unique ability.” Dan says we all have something we’re uniquely great at. For me, it’s teaching, mentoring, and empowering others. That’s where I now spend most of my time.
- Say no with peace. I now ask, “Will this contribute to my 10x vision?” before committing to anything.
Growth isn’t just about doing more. It’s about doing better — with clarity and courage.
