0:00.0 | Welcome back everybody. Today's going to be awesome. We're going to about 10Xing your |
0:13.0 | life and your business, but we're not just going to rarot. We're going to get in some |
0:17.0 | real details. My guest today, he's an organizational psychologist, which is a mouthful for |
0:23.5 | somebody with my limited intelligence, not only to even understand what it is, but even |
0:27.2 | to say it evidently. He's a best-selling author coming up on a million books sold |
0:32.0 | and the reason he sells so many books is because his work is legit. It's real stuff. It's |
0:38.4 | not fluff. It's detailed. It's profound. And you were going to write a lot of notes |
0:42.9 | today is my bet as we get started today. Dr. Benjamin Hardy, good to have you here, |
0:48.5 | brother. Happy with you. Yeah. So excited to have you. The book is 10X is easier than |
0:53.0 | 2X. How world-class entrepreneurs achieve more by doing less. Is that really true? Is |

1:18.6 | that I'm going for more of what I've already done. It's me operating from the present towards |
1:23.2 | the future. And it's also heavily complex because because the goal is from here to here, |
1:28.6 | it's very linear. I actually can't fully distinguish the things that are truly working using |
1:34.0 | the 8020 principle. I can't fully parse them apart because it's not a big enough goal. |
1:40.1 | So one of the reasons why 10X is a lot easier. There's a lot of reasons. But one of the reasons |
1:44.2 | is that the goal is so big, even hopefully seemingly impossible, given the timeline, |
1:50.0 | that it forces you to ask really hard questions. It forces you to ask, what are the few things |
1:53.9 | that actually have upside? What are the few things, those 20% of things using the 8020? |
1:57.6 | What are the very few things that have big upside? And then it forces you to be a lot more |
