If you’re not reaching your goals quickly enough, how do we speed up our results for wealth, lifestyle and true happiness? Peter Thiel is an investor, author and cofounder of PayPal. Simply asking yourself the right questions is one of his strategies for success. Most people never ask themselves questions like these. They just drift on through life. Here’s a couple questions to ask. Just be prepared to stretch your thinking a bit: “How can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months?” The second question is: “Look at your goals, how can you 10* them.”
Many will say impossible but it’s not. They’re just not trained to think about things this way. If you’re used to getting a salary of $50k a year, it’s hard to believe you could earn that in a month or two. Here’s some questions that can get you there: “Can you narrow your focus or get creative?” What about approaching things differently? Think of it like this. There’s a story of a fly that was trying to get out of the window. Banging and banging his head against the glass, all day everyday. That’s all he knew. That was his job and he’d die there struggling working hard but not getting through no matter how hard he tried.
The thing is if he’d thought unconventionally, if he’d tried an entirely different path, he’d realised that there was a door wide open just 3″ to it’s left with 10* results and less effort. Are you not sure of your goals? There is a way you can get creative and bold as Peter says. A way to avoid being the fly. One great mind shifting book is called You2 i.e. you squared written by Price Pritchett P.H.D. It’s a quick read too. I hope you enjoy it and today’s blog post. If you’re open to 10*ing your results and are ready to commit to change, check this out:
