Unlocking Accelerated Results: A Science-Based Blueprint for 10x Faster Achievement

A science-based blueprint for achieving 10x faster results 

We’ve all experienced that moment of
great excitement as the New Year approaches —we’re pumped, the world
looks small, and we can’t wait to do great and wonderful things! 

Some of us make lofty resolutions like: 

This year, I will be a millionaire. 

This year, I will be the manager of my organization. 

This year, I will find myPrince Charming. 

But, as the days roll into weeks and weeks become months, the euphoria of the New Year gradually wears off. 

And so does the motivation to achieve our goals until we’re so tapped out and counsel ourselves to forget them. 

I’ve often wondered; why is it that many
people seem to know what they can do to change their lives but don’t do
those things. Why is it that some people succeed where others failed?
What is the secret to achieving great results? 

Come to find out, it’s all based on a simple formula — so simple that some of us ignore it. 

If you are among the people who have a
laundry list of excuses for why they can’t achieve their goals, well my
friend, the time for excuses is over. After you read this post, there
will be no reason you can’t achieve exponential results in anything you
want to do. Likewise, if you want to take your result to the next and
higher level, I’m about to provide you with a template for creating
massive success. The principles shared herein is science-based! 

How to Achieve Faster Results: A Simple Formula to Follow 

Step 1: Multiply Your Goals By 10. 

"Wherever it is you want to go, there is a long and conventional path, and there are shorter, less conventional approaches." — Benjamin Hardy . 

Incremental success is possible, and it’s possible for everyone. But, it takes a different mindset to actualize it. 

If you want to change your life and
results, you cannot set conventional goals. You have to set goals SO
HUGE that it beats your mind how you can achieve it — goals that require
strong faith to believe the possibility of making them happen. Richard
Branson said, “If your dreams don’t scare you they are too small.” 

The size of your goals determines the trajectory of your life because it raises your awareness and fuels your creativity. 

Big goals attract big people. They
attract the people and resources that resonate with that frequency. The
greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we
miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it, Michelangelo said. 

He was right. 

Anyone that has achieved anything
worthwhile will tell you that what they had was clarity of what they
wanted to do, not the process. You need to commit first and figure out
the process as you go along. 

Commitment produces clarity and clarity
drive action; it helps you persist and persevere. In the language of
research, commitment means binding yourself to a course of action. 

"So many of our dreams at first seem
impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the
will, they soon become inevitable." — Christopher Reeve 

Step 2: Multiply Your Actions By 10. 

In his book, 10x Rule, The Only Difference Between Success and Failure , Grant Cardone reduced the labyrinth of the key to achieving incremental success to 

a) setting targets for yourself that are 10X greater than what you believe you can achieve and 

b) taking actions that are 10X greater than what you believe is necessary to achieve your goals. 

Says Grant: Never reduce a target.
Instead, increase actions. When you start rethinking your targets,
making up excuses and letting yourself off the hook, you are giving up
on your dreams! 

Most people give up the moment they hit roadblocks in trying to achieve their goals. They become trapped in a state of “a knowledge-action gap;” where they know what they should do but cannot do them. As they indulge in this limiting process, their brains create patterns that strengthen the habit. 

It’s what behavioral psychology calls, associative conditioning; where our brains stop us from taking actions it links to pain or reinforcing actions it links to pleasure. 

This distinguishes people we call winners from losers. It’s all in the state of their consciousness. 

"You may have these incredible ideas
and you think what’s missing is motivation. But that’s not true because
the way our minds are wired and the fact about the human being is that
we are not designed to do things that are uncomfortable or scary or
difficult. Our brains are designed to protect us from those things
because our brains are trying to keep us alive". — Mel Robbins 

Stop waiting for motivation and start
chasing your goals. Prime your mind that obstacles will arise — people
will call you crazy, old friendships could fail, the wheels might come
off — but you must keep pushing the status quo! 

The question is no longer how bad you want it. The real question is; how much work are you willing to put in to actualize it? 

Create an intense demand on yourself that
you can’t help but respond. Hard work is your first guarantee for
achieving your goals. 

When you rid yourself of average thinking and average action, you improve your self-worth and metacognition. 

Step 3: Set Time Aside For Re-creation. 

Edith Harbaugh ,
the CEO of LaunchDarkly, shared her most transferable lesson from
riding a bike to building startups and software with The First Round
awhile back. She said, “every ride starts with zero. Once your direction
is set, begin each day with a blank slate.” 

The creative process is an inside-out approach. 

Like Benjamin Hardy said, mental creation
always precedes physical creation. Before a building is physically
constructed, there’s a blueprint. 

Create a ritual that helps you to evaluate your work, reassess your strategies, realign your thoughts and redirect your energy. 

Performing at your best and being in a
peak state requires you master your mind and your body. The easiest way
to achieving mastery over your mind and body is through good diet,
proper exercise and rest, prayer and meditation, and reproducing your
ideas. Science confirms your best thoughts come to you immediately
following a good sleep or in an activity that pushes you to the limit. 

Your mind has all the answers you’re seeking for; what you need to do is trigger the impulse that generates what experts call “fluid intelligence.” 

In the words of James Allen, bestselling author of As A Man Thinketh ,
the mind is the master power that molds and makes, and man is mind, and
evermore he takes the tool of thought, and, shaping what he wills,
brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills. He thinks in secret, and
it comes to pass. 

Therefore, make your mind an ally and milk those thoughts through productive work every day. 

Step 4: Build A Support System. 

Napoleon Hill popularized the concept of a mastermind group through his classic self-help, Think And Grow Rich .
In the book, Hill defines a mastermind group as “the coordination of
knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite
purpose, in the spirit of harmony.” 

Great leaders in business and
corporations have known this. Though the practice and terminology may
change from culture to culture, the principle remains the same: other people’s expectations of you influence how you end up. 

Professor of Cognitive Robotics and the
Philosophy of Knowledge, Mark H. Bickhard, wrote the following in his
thesis entitled, How Does the Environment Affect the Person? 

It is generally assumed that human beings
perceive and understand the world through the senses and that that
epistemic connection with the world occurs via the transmission of
information from the world through those senses into a mind. 

The converse perspective on this same
assumption is that the environment influences individuals, both
microgenetically and developmentally, via the information that is
generated in that environment and transmitted into the minds of those
individuals. 

Your environment has to do with who you
are. Therefore, surround yourself with people who believe in you and
hold you to high standards — people who help you grow and become your
best self 

Surround yourself with people who help you nuance your thinking and overcome your inhibition. 

If you’re the smartest person in your
group, you probably need another group. Always, put yourself in a
position that makes you feel like a little fish swimming in a big jar. 

• You grow and learn. 
• You become wiser. 
• You aspire to catch up with everyone else and your zeal to succeed will silence your fears and the desire for complacency. 

Says Grant Cardone: 

You have to be obsessed. Nobody has
ever accomplished something incredible without obsession. The ability to
be obsessed is not a disease, it is a gift. The saying “under commit
and over deliver” is stupid. Instead, over commit and figure out how to
show up at a higher level. Success is like a garden; you must constantly
tend to it and care for it. Don’t worry about how much work it is;
think about how great the results will be. Challenge traditions and
established ways of thinking. Approach everything with the attitude that
it can be done. Believe that you will figure it out. Don’t follow the
pack; lead the pack.
