The $100 million mindset: Why playing small is costing you big
Picture this: You’re at a glamorous networking event, Italian wine in hand, trading grinding stories with fellow entrepreneurs. Someone asks about your goals, and you proudly say, “I’m aiming for a million-dollar business!” The room nods approvingly. But here’s the kicker — in that very moment, you might have just sentenced yourself to a lifetime of “small thinking”.
Too Harsh? Maybe. But it’s time for a wake-up call.
In today’s tech driven marketplace, thinking small isn’t just limiting, it’s simply dangerous. You’re setting yourself up to be outmaneuvered, outgunned, and left behind by those who have the stomach to think bigger. So let’s talk about thinking bigger. Not just a little bigger, but exponentially bigger. Let’s talk about the $100 million or the 100X mindset.
Now, I can almost hear you saying “$100 million”? That’s crazy talk!” But is it really? Here’s the truth as explained by successful entrepreneurs: it takes the same amount of effort to compete for $250,000 as it does for $100 million. The only difference? The scale of your ambition and the boldness of your strategy. Plus, the competition for the $100 million space is very small compared to the $250,000 and easier than you think if you allow yourself to think at this scale.
