Have you already about the story of the penny that double every day? Most probably yes. It’s amazing story use again and again by Motivational Speakers and Business Gurus all over the world.
For those who don’t know (yet) the story, if you double a penny every day for 30 days, you transform it from 0.01 to over 5 million. It’s so fucking thrilling to hear that when you need motivation and/or stimulation the most!
Today I want to give you something that can stimulate you even more. Instead of doubling the penny everyday, what if we 10X it everyday?
| Days | Linear | Double | 10X |
| 1 | 0.01 | 0.01 | 0.01 |
| 2 | 0.02 | 0.02 | 0.10 |
| 3 | 0.03 | 0.04 | 1 |
| 4 | 0.04 | 0.08 | 10 |
| 5 | 0.05 | 0.16 | 100 |
| 6 | 0.06 | 0.32 | 1,000 |
| 7 | 0.07 | 0.64 | 10,000 |

| 14 | 0.14 | 81.92 | 100,000,000,000 (100 billion!) |

| 30 | 0.30 | 5,368,702.12 | 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1 septillion !!!!!!) |
When we check all the numbers after 14 days of 10x the previous, we got headaches. The numbers are crazy. This represents the true potential behind the word Exponential!
Here’s some numbers to compare this exponential numbers
| Number of second in 120 years | 3,786,912,000 |
| Amount of cash money in the world (in USD) | 90,400,000,000,000 |
| Number of cells in the human body | Between 10,000,000,000,000 to 100,000,000,000,000 |
You probably have noticed that I put a row with linear in the first table. In today’s world, there’s still a lot of people who think linear (even most educated people). I know bankers and accountant that still not understand the true meaning of exponential, and I’m sure you know some people around you that doesn’t get the full picture when we talk about exponential. Why? Cause the human brain is not made for!
In 2021, it became crucial that you adopt an Exponential Mindset and let away your Linear Mindset. The world is evolving faster than ever, don’t let this evolution knock out you.
