Benjamin explained that he wrote the book while falling in love with the ideas and believed it would be a special, gamechanging work.
"
if you've read 10x Is Easier Than 2x, or caught any of his past appearances here on Young & Profiting, you already know that he's a master at helping people reimagine what's possible in life and business.
when I was writing 10x Is Easier Than 2x, I was deep in the process and falling in love with the book. I knew it was going to be very special.
the reason 10x Is Easier Than 2x is because going back to time, literally starting with time, most people and most business owners, they let their past determine their present and then their present to determine their future.
when you're going for 2X, the problem with it is that you're essentially just saying, let's keep doing what we're doing. While 10X forces you to strip out everything that can't work.
