Becoming 2X Better Isn't Good Enough
Matt Karamazov
June 22, 2024
📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.
Becoming 2x better isn't good enough.
It's also HARDER than going 10x, which, paradoxically, is often simpler and takes less time and effort.
Or rather, the same amount of effort. So which one do you choose?
What does it even mean to go 10x?
“Going 10x means you’re living based on the most intrinsic and exciting future you can imagine.
That 10x future becomes your filter for everything you do, and most of your current life can’t make it through that 10x filter.”
Most of your current life can’t make it through that 10x filter, he said.
Burn whatever doesn't bring you 10x the results in your life and never f***ing look back.
And go read this book. It's the next book breakdown I have coming up at The Stairway to Wisdom, so stay tuned for that next week.

Today lasted about 45 minutes. It’s crazy. One minute I’m outside, reading a book in the sun, drinking my morning (well, afternoon) coffee, the next minute it’s the end of the day and I’m sitting here writing this newsletter.
It was a half-decently productive day, but I need to do better if I’m going to make a strong push to the end of June and complete as many of my monthly goals as I can.
I’m closer than it looks, and I still have 10 days left, so now it’s time to drive hard to the finish.
But hey, it’s 1:50AM here right now and I’m going to bed!
All the best,
Matt Karamazov
