Welcome back to another episode of Women Powering Ecommerce, where we dive into the world of female entrepreneurship. Today, I want to share a transformative insight that I stumbled upon during a morning walk and a podcast episode featuring Dr. Benjamin Hardy. This revelation not only shifted my perspective but also prompted me to rethink and reimagine my approach to growth in both my personal and business life.
For a long time, I've been advocating for consistent growth, often setting my sights on the 2X improvement mark. It's a safe approach, requiring either doing what I've always done but doing better or doubling up on current efforts. The problem? It's predictable, and linear, and could lead to burnout or the need for more resources. It's like spreading yourself thin across various tasks, hoping for incremental gains.
Dr. Hardy's perspective introduced me to the concept that 10X growth is transformative, requiring a shift in mindset, actions, and thinking. It challenges the status quo, urging us to focus on the 20% of tasks that yield 80% of results. This means letting go of the majority of what currently occupies our lives, even if those things were successful in the past. It's disruptive, daring, and, admittedly, a bit scary.
The 10X mindset emphasizes innovation and resource leverage. It's not just about working harder; it's about working smarter. This realization prompted me to reevaluate how I use my time, finances, and network in the e-commerce space. It became clear that I can't do it alone—I need to surround myself with people who are smarter and more experienced.
To achieve 10X growth, I must embrace a culture of innovation. This means being proactive, constantly seeking transformative solutions, and creating a space where ideas are not only welcome but encouraged. It's about understanding that sometimes, I don't have all the answers, and seeking help from others or exploring new ideas can propel me forward.
On a personal level, aiming for 10X growth demands stepping out of my comfort zone and taking bigger risks. It's about seeking personal development through books, and advice, and surrounding myself with people who can contribute to my growth journey. The 10X mindset is not just about scale; it's about challenging the norms that have kept me in a safe space.
In conclusion, the 10X mindset is a journey of transformation, challenging our habits and norms to achieve rapid and significant growth. It's about reimagining our approach, leveraging resources innovatively, and stepping into discomfort for personal and professional development. I invite you to join me on this exciting journey of growth and transformation.
