Go Bigger

By Jonah Mungoshi. Six traits that distinguish extraordinary achievers — think bigger and scale your impact.

Today I want to invite you to go bigger. Growth begins with thinking beyond your current limits and then acting to expand your influence, skills, and impact. Extraordinary achievers consistently think and act at a larger scale.

Six traits of extraordinary achievers

  1. Daring. They dare to imagine and to take the first step. If you don't take shots you miss them all.
  2. Calculated risks. Risk is not gambling. Extraordinary people calculate odds and take smart risks.
  3. Bigger than the problems. They can carry far larger responsibilities without being overwhelmed.
  4. Possibility mindset. They ask "How can I do this?", which opens creative solutions.
  5. Understanding scaling up. They design solutions that reach 10x, 100x or more people.
  6. Driven by a cause. Purpose fuels tenacity when the going gets tough.

Start by expanding your thinking. Ask how you can reach 10x more people with what you're already doing. Small changes in mindset and scale thinking produce different behavior and, eventually, different results.
