Back in 2016, I experienced my first 10x Mind Expander. Here’s what I learned, and how you can experience some great results from it.

Dan Sullivan, The Strategic Coach’s 10x Mind Expander
In 2016, I was in Toronto at Dan Sullivan’s Strategic Coach event.I was accidentally placed in a more advanced event due to a schedule conflict, so they were discussing concepts I understood but never experienced. While I was in a session, I was sitting next to this athletic guy in sweats. We were paired up to do this exercise called The 10x Mind Expander.

Mind Expanded, or Mind Blown?
He goes first, and begins to discuss how he made $40M last year and took $5M in personal earnings. His goal was to make $50M, and he laid out his plan to make this happen.
Well, my mouth about hit the ground. I couldn’t believe it. Then, he says, “Okay well now you go.” I couldn’t even bring myself to discuss my numbers. However, from that point forward my life really changed. I’d never actually sat next to someone and had that type of discussion. My mind was forever expanded. I remember him showing me on his computer some of the things on his computer, including playbooks that were extremely well put together. He didn’t show me his entire OS, but he showed me the direction of how he led.

People Who See Farther
The point to my story is this: When you’re in the room and at the table with certain people, you will begin to see things in a different light. At this event, I started to see that this is a normal guy who’s an athlete, but he had different beliefs than I did. He could see moves on the chessboard that I did not even know existed.

The Benefits In The Room
I’m sure many of you have had the experience of being around people who are thinking so much bigger than you. Once you hear and see it, you may not know exactly how to go about doing yet. However, there are skills, beliefs, and traits that you may not yet possess. In this case of this athlete, I did not know how to adopt those beliefs until he shared them with me. Then there were strategic things he was doing to accomplish these results. So then it became my mission to do what he was doing in his business.
