How to Achieve More in 10 Weeks Than In 10 Years as a Solopreneur

The idea is simple…

“The quality of your ideas are directly correlated to the time frame in which you must complete it.”?

Imagine this…

If you had 10 years to make $1,000,000 your mind will think of ways to make $100,000 per year.?

But if you had 10 weeks to make $1,000,000 your mind will figure out how to make $100,000 per week.?

The first timeline will probably make you pursue a full-time job where you can invest money over a long period of time and get to $1,000,000 eventually.??

The second timeline will make you pursue creative solutions, perhaps creating a one-person start-up or business, finding VC funding and bootstrapping a no-code high-margin software business that generates $100K a month.?

Both CAN be achieved, and both produce the SAME outcome of $1M.?

Except one is achieved within 10 weeks, and the other is achieved in 10 years.?

Which would you prefer?

Now before you say, “William, that’s impossible!”…

That mindset alone is what’s stopping you from actually trying to figure out how to achieve more in less time (without it being detrimental to your well-being of course).??

The point is that…

Your mind will only come up with solutions for the size of the problem that you provide it.?

And if you keep thinking small, your reality and outcomes will also remain small.

The choice is yours.??

If the problem you need to solve becomes as large as realistically possible and a lot more time sensitive, the smarter and more creative your ideas will be, and the faster you will learn the lessons required to actually succeed by taking decisive action.?

Therefore, it is always in your best interest to set large goals that need to be accomplished in a short amount of time.?

This will give you the optimal pathways to success, and this is the mindset that allowed me to grow so quickly on LinkedIn.?

I wasn’t aiming low and hoping things worked out. I aimed as high as I could in the shortest timeframe possible.

My goal was set at 100K followers in 1 year, and that forced me to figure out the LinkedIn game and allowed me to reach 5K in the first 5 weeks. (p.s. here’s how you can too .)

But here’s the catch….?

You cannot be attached to the outcomes and beat yourself up if you don’t hit that exact target on the exact date.?

The main idea here is that you can achieve and experience more success in a shorter time frame if your mindset is primed for the highest leverage solutions possible within the time you have to achieve it.

You might not actually make $1,000,000 in those 10 weeks, but the lessons you learn will get you there a whole lot faster than 10 years, and that’s a guarantee.?

So I propose to you this as a fun mental game for this weekend.?

1. Dream big.?
2. Set a clearly defined deadline that creates a sense of urgency.

Truly think about how far you can take your Solopreneur / One-Man Brand from where you are today, to where you want to be in say…10 weeks time, and see what answers come to mind.?

The answers may surprise you, but executing on those ideas will bring you closer to achieving your solopreneurial dreams and finding freedom, sooner rather than later.?

And that’s what it’s all about.?

See you next Friday ??
