Episode Summary

What if you could level up your life 10 times? And not in 10 years but much sooner. What would that look like for you?

A 10X mindset zeros in on the aspect of your life that highly important to you. Instead of focusing on incremental gains, you focus on 10 times the gains.

Imagine how much you could accomplish if you stopped shooting just for the next milestone and instead focused all your energy on this one important aspect of your life.

We will talk in detail about what 10X means and how it can be applied to our life.

The moments bigger than us – Quest For You 598

The moments bigger than us – Quest For You 598

The moments that are bigger than us tend to lead us into many directions – hiding, frantically searching for answers, or we feel overwhelmed. I have found that such moments, of which we have many this year, are meant to lead us back to ourselves. They require reflection and contemplation as it is often in that quiet time with ourselves that we get to the insights we need to move forward.

We need civility – Quest For You 597

We need civility – Quest For You 597

Its election week and I am less concerned about who wins, and more about what our reaction as a country will be to the incoming president. The word civility has been on my mind lately and this week is a good time to remind ourselves that we cannot afford to forget about it. Being polite may not always be easy, but its the more effective and productive way to deal with issues we don’t agree with and to treat people that are different from us.

My silence – Quest For You 596

I have been silent for a few weeks with this podcast and this episode is an attempt to explain my reasons. And while there are many potential explanations – the bottom line is this – I haven’t gotten it done. And while I am tempted to blame 2020 with all its newness and not-normalness, I have also have to be honest with myself. I had ideas, but they haven’t turned into action. This episode may resonate with many of you as I am certain we all in stuck in some areas of our life. And to get unstuck, we just need to take one small step. This episode is my first step.

Best of: QFY 148 – Successful days start early

Getting up earlier has been one of my most significant changes that I have made. It has not only brought me more time in my day, but it sets a different tone for my days. Instead of …

QFY 206: Do hard things

We like things that are easy. We try to avoid as much pain as we can. We want to pull through and get it over with.  However, some of our biggest accomplishments in life have come from doing hard things.

QFY 205: Take time to smile

I learned to smile more when I came to this country. And while I initially had to force myself to smile, I now notice all the amazing positive side effects that smiling brings.

Start every day with intention and direction

Does it seem challenging to find an inner connection with ourselves? Our world can be noisy, overwhelming and distracting.

Yet, the direction for our life comes from within us.

hi friends let’s do this another episode
00:04
of Quest For You thank you for joining
00:08
it is episode 216 and I realized as I
00:13
listened to my episodes from last week
00:16
as I always do then I cut my numbers
00:19
confused I talked a lot about episode
00:22
100 and something so the 200th serious
00:27
still has some trouble sticking to me
00:30
sinking inland realizing that’s I’ve
00:35
already recorded over 200 episodes so I
00:37
apologize if I confused you and I’m
00:41
gonna try to get this right
00:42
this week we are it’s episode 216 and to
00:47
stick with numbers I titled it’s 10
00:50
times what if you could level up your
00:53
life 10 times and not in 10 years but
00:58
much sooner than that and also not just
01:01
10 percent but 10 times what would that
01:06
look like
01:06
I recently listened to a podcast where
01:10
this concept of 10 times came up and I
01:12
was fascinated with it it was pioneered
01:15
by Dan Sullivan leading coach for
01:18
entrepreneurs and it’s often applied to
01:20
entrepreneurs to help them see how they
01:22
could grow their business exponentially
01:24
but ten times applies to all areas of
01:28
your life imagine your health and
01:32
fitness your mood and your energy your
01:35
sleep your personal wealth your skills
01:38
and your social connections I often talk
01:42
about taking small steps on this podcast
01:44
so you may be a little bit confused now
01:47
why she’s talking about 10 times but the
01:51
concept of 10 times is not about big
01:54
leaps it’s part mindset with the right
01:58
mindset your small steps will seem like
02:01
big leaps because the return on your
02:03
investment will be huge a 10times
02:07
mindset zeroes in on the aspect of your
02:10
life that is highly important to you
02:12
instead of folk
02:13
on incremental gains you focus on ten
02:16
times the gains so here’s how I see it
02:20
translated into practical terms your
02:23
focus is not just the next milestone the
02:26
yearly performance goals at work your
02:29
personal goals are just getting to a
02:30
certain weight or being kinder to people
02:32
or taking an art class rather ten times
02:37
involves envisioning what your ideal
02:39
future looks like and how you can best
02:42
pull your present situation towards that
02:44
vision with a 10x mindset you begin to
02:48
examine every element of your life you
02:51
begin to question which parts of your
02:54
life help propel you forward and which
02:57
need to be discarded 10x means
03:00
exponential exponential growth happens
03:04
when you focus 10 times more on your
03:06
goals than you did before if I practice
03:09
10 times I think my podcast would be
03:12
among the top 100 podcasts on iTunes but
03:15
like me most of us don’t practice 10
03:18
times because it’s hard 10 times for me
03:22
would mean that I live and breathe quest
03:24
for you every single day and all
03:27
activities I undertake with add to the
03:29
growth of my podcasts and if they don’t
03:32
and I wouldn’t do them sounds kind of
03:35
strict doesn’t it well I think it is but
03:39
when I really think about it it also
03:41
sounds exciting quest for you among the
03:45
top podcasts not just any podcast not
03:49
just one that has twice the listeners in
03:51
May compared to April of this year kind
03:54
of what I’m looking at right now no ten
03:58
times reaching for the top
04:00
what would 10x look like for you can you
04:03
see it for yourself
04:05
where would it take you mentally with
04:07
your goals and aspirations if you
04:09
imploded them exponentially I can hear
04:13
you say well we can dream all day long
04:15
but it doesn’t mean that we can achieve
04:17
those dreams true just thinking about
04:21
them will not do much but it’s a start
04:23
that many of us never make we think
04:27
small
04:27
if I see 50 downloads in a day I’m super
04:30
happy compared to the day before when I
04:32
had 18 it makes for a good day does it
04:36
make you happy when you get a hundred
04:38
likes on your Instagram picture versus
04:40
the regular 20 do you feel accomplished
04:43
when a recruiter calls you and wants you
04:45
to apply for a job that pays 20 percent
04:47
more than you currently make or when you
04:50
reach the body week you’ve been dreaming
04:52
of for years but what if we think bigger
04:56
what if we could turn our Instagram
04:59
followers into customers of a business
05:01
we create and instead of switching
05:03
companies every few years chasing an
05:05
incremental pay increase we discover
05:08
what we really what were really
05:10
passionate about and turn that into a
05:12
living and instead of shooting for
05:14
arbitrary numbers on the scale we adopt
05:17
the healthy lifestyle for the rest of
05:18
our life what would it take to turn 10x
05:22
thinking into 10x results here’s what
05:27
Sullivan outlines as the five key steps
05:30
thinking innovation decision-making
05:34
communication and action I love those
05:38
words those are simple words plain
05:42
easily understandable words let’s use my
05:46
podcast as an example to illustrate it
05:48
as I visualize where I want to be with
05:51
my podcast and I just told you where
05:53
that is given that I’m serious about my
05:56
goal then my thoughts will follow
05:59
intellectually I will now engage with
06:02
that outcome it will be locked into my
06:04
brain and it will dominate my thinking
06:06
once a goal or objective is prevalent in
06:09
your mind you’ll begin to get innovative
06:11
I’m sure you have examples where you had
06:14
a really great idea and the more you
06:17
thought about it or elaborated on it
06:19
with your friends the more inspiration
06:21
came to you and how to translate it in
06:24
creative ways and I really lock my
06:27
thoughts onto my podcast I have tons of
06:29
ideas oftentimes I write them down in
06:32
random places on napkins on my phone I
06:36
also carry a small notebook with me for
06:38
that purpose I suddenly
06:41
see so many different opportunities to
06:43
promote my podcasts and they come to
06:45
mind at random times when we Center our
06:49
thinking around something that matters
06:51
we will get inspiration all the time
06:54
they come out of nowhere but they come
06:57
because you have to rekt your mind
06:58
deliberately towards a specific
07:00
objective and then it’s time to make the
07:04
right decisions this is when you’re
07:07
thinking and your ideas turn into action
07:10
decision-making is about taking a step
07:13
into the direction of your goal or away
07:15
from it do I go to the gym like I always
07:19
do or do I join the podcasting meetup
07:22
and learn about ways to promote my
07:24
podcast do I talk about my podcast at
07:28
the dinner event with people I don’t
07:30
know or do I remain silent
07:32
do I spend time researching ways to
07:35
promote my website or hope that people
07:37
will find me automatically decision
07:40
making is about you every day choices do
07:43
they bring you closer towards your goal
07:45
do they support the direction you want
07:48
to go in making the right decision is
07:50
about dedicating yourself to your goal
07:52
and once you do your communication will
07:55
follow I’m somewhere in between these
07:57
two steps with the promotion of my
07:59
podcast I sometimes make the right
08:02
choices but I rarely open my mouth to
08:04
speak about my podcasts you see for a
08:08
while I thought that dedication to my
08:11
podcast means locking myself into my
08:13
apartment and working every free minute
08:15
on the skull but I’ve realized that my
08:18
life doesn’t have to stop to make my
08:20
podcast happen rather I should integrate
08:24
it into my life promoting my podcasts
08:28
can happen very easily by speaking to
08:30
people about it however as you know I
08:34
don’t nearly do it enough my
08:37
dermatologist is a really cool lady
08:39
she’s one of those people that know how
08:42
to ask good questions and you know from
08:46
listening to my episodes I love people
08:49
that ask questions and she always asks
08:52
what I’m up to what I do in my free time
08:54
and what
08:54
I’m passionate about running out of
08:57
cheap options to tell her something
08:59
I finally the other day shared about my
09:02
podcasts and it wasn’t hard so why don’t
09:06
I do it more often
09:07
everywhere I go on the ski lift where I
09:11
spend 50% of the day that I ski in the
09:15
gym where I now know a bunch of people
09:17
and they know nothing about me other
09:19
than that I work out there every day and
09:22
what about work there’s so many simple
09:25
wastes begin achieving my objective in
09:28
each simple way no matter how creative
09:32
requires the decision to do it and once
09:36
the decision is made I need to take
09:39
action I need to speak up I’ve started
09:42
sharing my objective with close friends
09:44
but not nearly enough
09:46
Sullivan speaks about the intellectual
09:49
engagement and the emotional commitment
09:52
we can dream all day long make lists
09:55
write down ideas and get excited about
09:58
them but only when we actually commit
10:00
are we ready to take action I’m probably
10:04
not there yet
10:05
my mind is still all over the place
10:07
should I hire someone to help me with
10:09
the promotion of my podcast should I
10:12
randomly pass out business cards should
10:14
I advertise have tons of ideas but I
10:18
actually have to commit myself to
10:19
following through that’s the ten times
10:23
commitment once I commit I will then
10:27
have more clarity which of my ideas are
10:29
feasible and which ones I can toss I
10:32
will ask better questions types of
10:35
questions that lead to creative
10:37
breakthrough in different avenues of
10:38
thoughts instead of looking at many ways
10:42
to promote my podcast I look at the ones
10:44
that bring me the best return remember
10:48
10 times thinking involves far more
10:51
boldness and creativity than simply
10:53
being proactive this kind of thinking
10:57
will bring the right people
10:58
opportunities your way because instead
11:00
of making it just to the next step
11:03
you’re looking further out and you can
11:06
do this what is it you dream of
11:08
accomplishing what do you want to look
11:10
back on in 20 30 50 years my vision is
11:14
that quest for you turns into something
11:16
huge something that changes the lives of
11:18
thousands of people what is your dream
11:21
and take it ten times beyond just the
11:25
next step out into the future visualize
11:29
it
11:30
think about it frequently begin writing
11:33
down your ideas and then start making
11:37
decisions that include these ideas the
11:40
next thing you know you on your way to
11:43
making it happen 10 times my friends
11:47
much love
11:57
