Every ambitious entrepreneur dreams of expanding their business.
But creating a clear and effective growth plan can often feel like navigating a maze of conflicting strategies—which path will give the biggest return? Is it even possible to double your business? How about multiplying it by 10?
At Strategic Coach™, we specialise in helping entrepreneurs cultivate the mindset required for sustained success. Instead of focusing solely on short-term tactics or fleeting trends, we advocate for a deeper transformation—one rooted in a 10x vision that reshapes how you approach growth, achievement, and your future.
Create A Future Bigger Than Your Past
Creating a vision that transcends your past accomplishments is simpler than it sounds. It begins with a mindset shift: allowing your future goals to become more exciting and meaningful than anything you’ve achieved before. Dan Sullivan, founder of Strategic Coach encapsulates this with one powerful idea: “Always make your future bigger than your past.”
To begin crafting your 10x vision, reflect on your past experiences and extract the insights from your most powerful learning moments. These insights become the foundation for designing a future that breaks through previous limitations and redefines what’s possible for you and your business.
Our Four Freedoms for Entrepreneurial Success
While mindset is the engine of exponential growth, it’s strategic thinking that fuels the journey. Entrepreneurs today operate in what we call the “Results Economy”—where success is not guaranteed but earned through innovation, resilience, and intentionality.
To thrive, you must cultivate a framework for success based on four key entrepreneurial freedoms:
- Time: Gain control of your schedule and dedicate your energy to activities that align with your highest goals.
- Money: Tap into the unlimited potential for financial growth, no longer confined by traditional limits.
- Relationships: Surround yourself with people who energise your vision, enabling mutual support and progress.
- Purpose: Build a business that serves as a vehicle for personal meaning, impact, and long-term fulfilment.
These freedoms are not fixed destinations—they’re areas for continual improvement. The pursuit of a 10x future involves expanding each of them, step by step.
Ask the Right Questions
As you begin your transformation, ask yourself the R-Factor Question:
“What has to happen over the next three years for me to feel happy with my progress?”
This simple question opens the door to a much bigger future and helps you align your daily actions with a bold long-term vision.
Three Mindsets to Support Your Growth
To stay aligned with your 10x vision, cultivate these core mindsets:
- The Gap and The Gain: Focus on how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go—celebrating progress rather than chasing perfection.
- The 80% Approach: Aim for momentum over perfection—getting things 80% right and moving forward, rather than getting stuck in endless refinement.
- Creative vs. Reactive: Lead with curiosity and innovation, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and reinvention.
Regardless of your industry or stage of growth, expanding your business is about more than just numbers—it’s about creating a life and enterprise that aligns with your deepest values and aspirations. By embracing a 10x vision and committing to continuous evolution, you unlock the potential for a future filled with impact, prosperity, and genuine satisfaction.
