129. WHY PLAYING SMALL FEELS SAFER
Description
What if the modest goals keeping you "safe" are actually holding you back? This episode explores why thinking bigger, in a way that's deeply aligned with your strengths often feels easier and more fulfilling than playing small.
Through real stories from creative entrepreneurs who've made the leap, we examine the difference between incremental tweaking and visionary thinking, and why your impossible dream might just be exactly what your business needs

- [07:44] Why aiming for 2x growth keeps you optimising the same approach, while 10x thinking forces complete reimagination
- [10:03] Marta's revelation: "A successful business will not only sustain you financially, but also as a person emotionally"

Notable Quotes:
"When you aim for 2x growth, you think in terms of doing more of the same, just slightly better. When you think in terms of 10x, you can't just do more of the same. You have to completely reimagine what's possible."
