Why the Holidays Are Your Biggest Opportunity
Most business owners think of the holidays as a time to boost “extra” sales.
But the holidays can completely transform your business if you go all in.
For me, the holidays weren’t just a sales bump.
They were a game-changer that shifted my business from $100K a month to $1M in one single month.
That experience changed my entire approach to growth, and I never looked back.
The Problem: The Limited 2X Mindset
Many entrepreneurs approach the holidays hoping for a 2x or 3x sales increase.
They’re just looking to do a little better than normal.
But to reach these small goals, they do more of what they’re already doing—along with their competition.
They throw more discounts out, spend more on ads, and hope for the best.
And even if they do get a bump in sales, profits often stay the same—or worse, disappear altogether.
Why Most Holiday Strategies Fail to Deliver
With this “extra sales” strategy, most entrepreneurs end up creating more noise than growth.
They boost sales but barely see a change in profits.
This leads to frustration—and what’s worse, the cycle repeats every year.
More competitors pile in, and the market grows more crowded.
Without a clear way to stand out, it becomes an exhausting race that goes nowhere.
Solution: The Power of 10X Thinking
In the book 10X Is Easier Than 2X, Benjamin Hardy explains how small growth targets make things harder.
Why? Because everyone else is trying for 2x growth, too.
Instead, aiming for 10x forces you to think bigger, create better strategies, and rise above the competition.
Very few are thinking this way, which leaves the field open to those who do.
Why 10X Thinking Works
Thinking in 10x terms reshapes everything you do and attracts better rewards.
Focus on What Matters Most:
To achieve 10x, you need to prioritize and only focus on the most impactful actions—the top 20% that generate exponential results.
Attract Better Opportunities:
A 10x goal sets a bold standard, attracting new people, resources, and partners aligned with your mission, leading to powerful growth.
Encourage Creativity:
Aiming for 10x means the “same old” won’t cut it. You need new ideas and innovations, which leads to creative solutions.
Efficient Use of Resources:
Since you’re focusing on smarter, not harder, work, 10x thinking is surprisingly resource-efficient. Instead of spreading efforts thinly, you’ll target actions that bring massive returns.

How I Achieved My 10X Holiday Breakthrough
My 10x growth didn’t come from simply trying to sell more.
Instead of pushing my general product to everyone, I focused on a specific group: backyard bird watchers who weren’t being served well.
I raised my prices and offered premium versions of my products.
And if I did give discounts, I started with the new, higher prices to keep my profits steady.
I fine-tuned every bit of my messaging to speak to bird watchers’ unique pains and needs.
Then, I partnered with bird-watching magazines to reach my ideal audience.
The result? I went from $100K per month to $1M in a month—a true 10x jump—all while working just 3-4 hours a week.

TL;DR
Most entrepreneurs aim for 2-3x holiday sales boosts, but this leaves profits low.
10x thinking pushes you to do more impactful actions few others are doing.
10x is about focusing, getting creative, and finding new ways to serve a targeted niche.
My 10x results came from niche focus, price adjustments, tailored messaging, and partnerships.
