The Day I Realized Thinking Small Was My Biggest Mistake

I remember a time when I thought aiming for modest goals was the best strategy. “It’s safe,” I told myself. “Achievable.” But the truth? Playing it safe often left me underwhelmed, and the results were just... okay.

That all changed when I came across Grant Cardone’s 10X Rule. It felt like someone flipped a switch in my brain. Cardone’s message was simple but powerful: set goals 10 times bigger than you think, and work 10 times harder than you believe necessary. This wasn’t just about working more—it was about shifting my entire mindset.

As a business owner, I realized that my goals, my purpose, my mission—they were all too small. We create a vision for our businesses, but how often do we set a vision so grand that it pushes us beyond our limits? I started applying the 10X mindset not only to my daily tasks but also to my company’s long-term goals.

My mission became bigger, evolving into a much larger purpose—to lead my students on a journey to join the ranks of Fortune 500 companies. I wanted to help them run their businesses with such success that they’d enter the race to become ?10,000 crore entrepreneurs. I aimed to put them on the path toward becoming billionaires, competing on the global stage.        

My vision became clearer: to create smarter, more efficient businesses that thrive through technology. The mission? To empower business owners not just to survive, but to grow, dominate their industries, and break into the highest levels of success.        

The 10X Rule taught me that setting massive goals—whether it’s increasing sales, expanding market reach, or transforming your industry—is the first step toward true success. It’s not just about having a business purpose or vision on paper; it’s about living it, breathing it, and making it 10 times bigger than you originally thought. That’s when the magic happens.
