What if you could achieve 10X growth while your competitors only achieve 10%?
That’s what a Moonshot is: going 10X bigger or better when everyone else is pursuing incremental change.
Most companies ask questions such as, “How do we reduce costs by 10%?” or “How can we increase profits by 10%?”
Having a Moonshot Mindset means applying 10X thinking (or 1,000%) to all your efforts and challenges.
It’s one of the critical mindsets enabled by exponential technologies that any exponential entrepreneur or leader needs to succeed in the decade ahead.
In this blog, I’m going to discuss what a Moonshot Mindset is and the benefits of having one.
Let’s dive in…

I’ll give you three reasons:
As my friend Astro Teller, Alphabet’s “Captain of Moonshots” says, when you try to do 10% better, you’re putting yourself in direct competition with everyone else in your industry. And it’s a competition that you’re likely to lose.
When you shoot for 10X improvement and try to do something radically hard, you approach the problem you’re solving in a completely different way.
When you attack a problem (any problem) as though it were solvable, even if you don’t know how to solve it, you’ll be shocked at what you come up with.
In our world, change is the only constant, and the rate of change is increasing.
As a result, you either disrupt yourself, or someone else will.
How much more could you achieve if you had a Moonshot Mindset?
What can you do in the next hour to make progress towards your 10X goal?
