I want to talk about you becoming your best self with courage and innovation.?Read this post or watch the video.
There are a lot of things I'm doing and other people are doing in their businesses and personal lives that will take #Innovation and you have to change some things that you're not used to doing, in order to improve your life, business and finances or whatever it is you choose.?
You're going to have to use innovation. A couple things that come with innovating are obviously stepping out of your comfort zone, along with having courage, knowing that you're going to make mistakes and have failures in the process.?
Get used to it. Get used to innovating and changing things. In the book 10x Is Easier Than 2x (Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan, 2023), they talk about if you are going to grow by 10x, then a huge portion of this concept has to do with your mindset, having courage and commitment.?
Using the 80/20 Rule (Pareto’s Principle) when going for 10x, only 20% of the things - your mindset, attitude, activities and communications, investments of time and energy - will be the same as you've always done in the past, and 80% will be new things. So guess what? You won't have a lot of confidence or a great track record, because you're going to be creating, innovating and experiencing a lot of change, comparative to your past self (or organization).
This is different from what most people are currently doing, where they usually spend most of their time and energy doing what they’ve always done (i.e. their habits). This typical way of doing things could be good, however we need to learn some new habits. To become your best self, learning to say NO to the GOOD, so we can say YES to the GREAT will fundamentally change who you are, and the quality of choices you make. This will dictate the lens (or filter) from which you view the world. Therefore, most people are keeping 80% of everything they’ve always done, and only innovating on their 20%.
In order to go 10x - in the? way you think, your mindset, your ideas, your collaborations, your conversations, your relationships, your business ventures and whatever it may be - all of this has to change.??
Much of these changes and results may be a change in “#QUALITY”, not necessarily always in “#QUANTITY”.?
Know this… that you can innovate, and that you can grow!!

At this point, you don’t have to get 80% results from the 20% of new efforts. But from the 80% of new and innovative things that you're doing, you might only see 1% positive results each day or each week. That's okay, because over time your quality (and quantity) will continue to grow and you WILL experience a compounding effect.?Here's to your success!
