Today, the most valuable company in the world is Google. In February 2013, WIRED Magazines Steven Levy interviewed Larry Page of Google and wrote:

MICHAEL HEWITT-GLEESON designed GE x10 for Jack Welch and is acknowledged as the father of x10 thinking. He is the author of The x10 Memeplex: Multiply Your Business By Ten! (Prentice Hall, 2000). Michael talks about x10 thinking here …

there is a great and good force out there that only wants the best and ultimate
good for you and the rest of the world.
Thank you….Helen
It’s good concept for thinking.
Thank you so much for the powerful tool you provide us with. I’m sure that with training I’ll be able to master it.
It takes 11 weeks to learn a new habit – so keep trying everyone.

Now, on my 13th course, I understand what this page means. I get it. I still don’t get how to teach it to my dog.
