After conquering the world's 14 toughest peaks in record time, Nepali-born Nims Purja rose as a bold voice for the often-overlooked Sherpa guides. In the process, he became the first true celebrity mountaineer of the social media era - and one of the most debated figures in the global climbing scene. His path wasn't paved with venture funding or viral hacks - it was carved out with ice axes, discipline and a refusal to accept the limits others set.
Dare to dream bigger By climbing all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks in just six months and six days - a feat that previously took others nearly a decade - he didn't compete within the old standards; he created a new one entirely. For entrepreneurs, the lesson is clear: Don't aim to improve marginally on what's been done - dare to redefine the game itself. Apply the 10x framework: Instead of asking "How can we improve by 10%?" challenge yourself to ask "How can we deliver 10x the value?" A local restaurant shouldn't just aim to be "better." They should ask: "How can we create an experience so unique that customers travel 30 minutes just to eat here?" Take 30 minutes this week to list your current business goals, then rewrite each one using 10x thinking.
