10x Is Easier Than 2x
Dan Sullivan
“In other words, the easiest way to get 2x growth is by going for 10x, because 10x forces you to stop almost everything you’re doing, which is ultimately a waste of time anyway”

“Shoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.””

“10x separates the signal from the noise.”

“The higher and more specific your goals and standards become, the fewer options you have—which counterintuitively, actually makes them *easier* to achie”

为什么十倍目标比两倍更容易实现呢？作者认为十倍的目标。更加？明确！有更少的方式可以达成。因此，十倍目标可以让我们把注意力集中在少数。明确的路径上，反而比两倍的更清晰！

“If you want a really nice house, you have fewer options for furniture. The more specific you get about what you want, the fewer designers there may be who fit your desires. Conversely, if you have “low” or non-specific standards for your house, then there are seemingly endless options for furniture.”

作者的这个例子，挺生动的。对我来说就像吃东西。如果你对饮食有自己的品味和标准，那么你能够选择的餐厅就非常的少。同样的，如果我们对我们的人生有所要求，你就会发现，你的留下的选择也没那么多。但是如果没有一个要求，那么人生就好像哪都能去。反而会让我们不知所措。

“If we didn’t have ambition—some big goal we are after—how would we know what little things, what distractions, to say no to”

这句话也很有道理。如果我们没有更高的目标，我们怎么知道眼前自己都在为一些琐事而纠结呢？
✎ NOTE
“Only by living with a 10x frame of reference do you become highly critical of everything you place your time and energy on.”

这点我也很有共鸣，我以前可能会纠结在身边的很多小事上，但现在我就会觉得有些事情不值得我把我的经历。投入在上面。或者说，有的人不值得我去关注。

“You know that working more hours does not equate to better results, but on the contrary, working more hours usually means you’re grinding your wheels on not innovating your thinking enough.”

“the *80/20 Rule* or *Pareto Principle*, which specifies that 80 percent of consequences come from 20 percent of the causes, asserting an unequal relationship between inputs and outputs.”

“To go 10x from where you now are, only 20 percent will scale. The rest will be filtered out. Only by clarifying and identifying with your 10x vision will it become obvious the 80 percent that is holding you back.”

那个百分之二十和百分之八十分别是什么？
✎ NOTE
“Research shows that in order to activate a flow and high-performance state, a given task requires three things: 1) clear and specific goals, 2) immediate feedback, and 3) the challenge is above and outside the current skill-level”
2:53 AM
“**What about you?** • What is your 20 percent that if you went all-in on, you’d become 10x more valuable and impactful? • What are the few things you do and the few people you work with that produce most of your success and excitement? • What is your 80 percent that is keeping you grinding away, and ultimately a distraction for your biggest future jumps?”
2:56 AM
““A 2x goal would involve doing the same things you’re doing now, only more of them. But a 10x goal jumps you out of that, beyond that. 10x requires operating in an entirely different way that bypasses the stresses and complications of a 2x goal.””
