Mindset Monday: Moonshot Mindset
A Moonshot Mindset is going 10X bigger when everyone else is pursuing a 10% incremental change. Moonshots are at the intersection of tremendous opportunities, breakthrough technology, and a radical solution. A Moonshot Mindset allows you to make a “dent in the Universe.”

From the world:
“Let’s flip the paradigm and begin with the imagined future state and work backward to the present. This is how we get to moonshot thinking.”
