Fix, Simplify, Hold

Three high-leverage plays that look unremarkable.

The 10x Employee
Invisible Fixes = Visible Promotions.

There are two types of workplace problems:

1. The ones everyone talks about.

2. The ones everyone ignores — even though they slow things down every day.

It’s the second type that holds the most hidden value.

Fixing something that’s been silently frustrating your team — a confusing form, a broken link, a repetitive task — often gets noticed faster than doing your regular job well.

Why?

Because most people complain.

Very few solve.

Especially when everyone is always thinking about letting someone else fix it.

🔧 Steps To Take

Find one friction point. Solve it without waiting for permission.

1. Ask.
What do I hear people complain about over and over?

2. Watch for repeated slowdowns.
Especially in onboarding, reporting, or communication.

3. Fix what you can.
Share the fix quietly — in a message, a screenshot, or a quick demo.

It doesn’t have to be dramatic. It just has to save time, reduce errors, or remove frustration.

💥 10x Action Tip

Fix one small thing this week that’s slowed down your team. Share the solution with your manager or team lead — no bragging needed.

When you solve the invisible problems, people start to see you differently.

You become the one who improves things — not just someone who keeps things going.

That’s the kind of value leadership remembers.

The 10x Entrepreneur
Your First Funnel Should Be Stupid Simple.

Complex funnels don’t necessarily convert better.

It’s easy to get lost building funnels on your domain — multiple pages, upsells, tripwires, email automations, etc.

You may think the more pieces you add, the more money you’ll make.

But complexity kills momentum.

When you’re starting out, the most effective funnel is usually the simplest:

1. One page that explains the offer clearly.

2. One checkout.

3. One follow-up email confirming delivery.

No endless logic. No tech headaches.

Just clarity and action.

🔧 Steps To Take

Build a one-page funnel that works:

1. Clear headline.
What they’ll get and why it matters.

2. Short description.
Who it’s for and what result it brings.

3. Call to action.
What to do next.

4. Checkout.
Clean and mobile-friendly.

5. Delivery.
Instant or scheduled.

Start simple.

Prove it works.

Then scale.

💥 10x Action Tip

Take your current funnel.

Cut it down to one page that explains the outcome and has a way to buy.

Launch that version this week.

NOTE: Funnels don’t make sales.

Clear messages and simple steps do.

If you want momentum, strip it down and go live.

The 10x Investor
Diversification Isn’t Optional.

If one asset can wipe you out, you’re not investing — you’re gambling.

Every investment carries risk.

Diversification is how you keep that risk from sinking everything.

It’s not about owning dozens of assets.

It’s about making sure no single failure takes your whole portfolio down with it.

Because…

Markets shift.

Narratives change.

What looks solid today might collapse tomorrow.

Your job isn’t to predict everything.

It’s to protect yourself from being wrong about anything.

That’s what diversification does.

🔧 Steps to take

Spread your exposure across a few key dimensions:

1. Asset classes.
Mix crypto, stocks, stable assets, and possibly real-world holdings.

2. Sectors or themes.
Don’t go all in on one narrative (like AI, DeFi, or Web3).

3. Timeframes.
Some long-term positions, some short-term trades.

4. Geography or currency.
Reduce exposure to one country or currency’s risk.

Even within crypto, don’t just hold one coin.

Spread across layers, use cases, and utility.

💥 10x Action Tip

Review your portfolio.

If one asset makes up more than 25%, rebalance — unless it's part of an overall strategy.

Aim for resilience, not just upside.

Smart investors never assume they're always right.

So they build systems that protect them when they’re wrong.

Diversification is one of those systems.

It buys you time.

It reduces panic.

And it lets you stay in the game when others are forced out.

If you want to grow your portfolio, first make sure it can survive.

Cheers!
