I’ve always believed the following two statements…
“Want to become a billionaire? Then help a billion people.”
“The world’s biggest problems are the world’s biggest business opportunities.”
If you’re nodding your head in agreement—if you’re ready to leverage your success to create meaningful impact—then you’re probably wondering: How exactly do you pursue such an ambitious goal? How do you implement what I call “10^9 Thinking” to truly uplift humanity?
Today, I’ll share three powerful strategies I’ve personally used and have taught to countless entrepreneurs who’ve made this transformative journey. As with all meaningful change, it starts with your mindset…
1. Cultivate an Abundance Mindset
We’re living in an era of unprecedented opportunity. Yet most people remain trapped in scarcity thinking, fighting over pieces of an imaginary fixed pie.
Here’s how to shift your perspective:
- Stop asking “Can I afford this?” Start asking “How can I leverage this?”
- Instead of hoarding resources, focus on creating new ones
- Remember: In today’s hyperconnected world, your network is your net worth
- Practice generous leadership—share knowledge, mentor others, contribute freely
- Focus on 10x or 100x value creation, not just capturing existing value
This mindset shift alone can reveal opportunities that are invisible to others.
2. Master Exponential Thinking to Achieve Scale
Linear thinking is a dead end in our exponential world. Here’s your new framework:
- Target 10x (1,000%) improvements, not incremental 10% gains
- Map how converging technologies (AI, Robotics, Biotech) can amplify your impact
- Set goals that seem audacious today but inevitable tomorrow
- Embrace rapid learning—the faster you learn, the faster you innovate
Remember: You’re not just predicting the future—you’re creating it.
3. Embrace a Moonshot Mindset
This is where true transformation happens. A Moonshot Mindset means reimagining entire systems to solve global grand challenges.
Key principles:
- Start with your Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP)—it’ll fuel you through the decade-long journey
- Focus on problems affecting billions
- Pursue radical, not incremental, solutions
- Build diverse teams—breakthroughs happen at the intersection of disciplines
- Think in 10-, 20-, even 50-year horizons, but create clear steps from here to there
Here’s the truth: Buying toys or traditional philanthropy is the old way of “doing good.” But why not use the genius that created your success and wealth to solve humanity’s biggest challenges?
This question drives the entrepreneurs and leaders in my Abundance360 community. We’re focused on using exponential technologies like AI to create both wealth and positive impact at scale.
Remember: The future isn’t something we enter—it’s something we create.

Of course, we’re not alone in this mission. In my next email, I’ll share insights from other visionary leaders who’ve mastered this balance of success and significance. Their stories might just spark your next breakthrough…
To massive positive impact,
Peter
P.S. Every breakthrough started as someone’s “crazy” idea. What’s yours?
