Benjamin Hardy

Make a mindset shift that will open the door to explosive growth and limitless possibility in your business and your life - just by asking the right question. 'Who can do this for me?' 'Who is the best in the world at this already?' 'Who knows how to solve this?' This is the way entrepreneurs like Dan Sullivan, one of the world's leading coaches, build highly successful businesses and get extraordinary results. And it's the essential mindset change you'll make in this practical, paradigm-shifting book. Learn how to: - get far more done while working far less - measurably increase your confidence and capability every 90 days - so you can imagine and create bigger goals - create genuine excitement and emotional commitment in the people who will help you achieve those goals - bypass societal norms like scarcity and the decline of ageing - expand your abundance of wealth, innovation, relationships and joy 'Making this shift involves retraining your brain to stop limiting your potential based on what you solely can do,' Dan writes. 'Instead, you see endless connection between yourself and other people, and the limitless transformation possible through those connections.'

The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork

Who Not How

Dr. Benjamin Hardy

As he did in WHO NOT HOW, Dr. Benjamin Hardy shares one of Dan Sullivan’s simple yet profound teachings that until now has been known only to his Strategic Coach clients: unsuccessful people focus on “The Gap,” but successful people focus on “The Gain.” "[T]his one simple concept is a masterclass on positive psychology, healthy relationships, mental well-being, and high-performance. Everything that psychologists know about how to create a high-functioning and successful person can be achieved using The GAP and the GAIN."- Dr. Benjamin Hardy Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. We all have an "ideal," a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we're in "the GAP." However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we're in "the GAIN." That is where the GAP and the GAIN concept comes in. It was developed by legendary entrepreneur coach Dan Sullivan and is based on his work with tens of thousands of successful entrepreneurs. When Dan's coaching clients periodically take stock of all that they've accomplished-both personally and professionally-they are often shocked at how much they have actually achieved. They weren't able to appreciate their progress because no matter how much they were getting done, they were usually measuring themselves against their ideals or goals. In this book you will learn that measuring your current self vs. your former self has enormous psychological benefits. And that's really the key to this deceptively simple yet multi-layered concept that will have you feeling good, feeling grateful, and feeling like you are making progress even when times are tough, which will in turn bolster motivation, confidence, and future success. If you're finding that happiness eludes you no matter how much you've achieved, then learning this easy mindset shift will set you on a life-changing path to greater fulfillment and success.

Expanding upon one of his high-level foundational teachings: Strategic Coach co-founder Dan Sullivan explains why achieving 10X growth is easier than going for 2X growth. Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think. 10X is not the outcome; it's a counterintuitive process you can apply every time you want exponential growth in your life and business. To make 10X possible, you must focus on expanding what Dan defines as your four most important freedoms—time, money, relationship, and purpose. As your time becomes 10X more valuable, you increasingly multiply the money you earn both in terms of amount and profitable satisfaction. As money becomes a tool you can increasingly access with greater ease, you will engage with a growing number of other freedom-motivated individuals. As both your professional and personal life fills up with 10X more unique and collaborative relationships, you will realize that your most powerful purposes in all areas become 10X more lasting and positive for everyone involved. You will be impressed by what your life has become, and the meaning and impact you're having. 10X is fundamentally about quality vs quantity, and the quality of your freedoms determines the results you achieve.

Most entrepreneurs are fixated on their competition and on external conditions they can't control. To them, cash flow is a constant source of worry. What they don't realize is that their success isn't actually about them at all. It's about who they can create value for and what those people aspire to. Entrepreneurs who know exactly how they create value can cross over a line where cash flow becomes certain, and the model they've created continually improves. Once you reach this point, you become totally confident that your cash flow will always be predictable-regardless of how the world outside your company changes.
