The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure – Books Read

This book is by Grant Cardone

5 out of 5 stars

I have listened to Grants podcast The Cardone Zone a few times. He is a little over the top for me.  I think his book was valuable.  A few takeaways:

Plan Big. Take you goal, dream, abition and 10x it.

Approach every situation with an in-it-to-win mindset: Tackle every project with the 10X Rule, acting like you have to succeed because your life depends on it. Take appropriate, consistent and persistent action, and over time, you must succeed.

Be proactive, take responsibility for your life:

Everything that occurs in your life, good or bad, is your responsibility, even if outside forces are at play. If something negative happens to you, even if you did not have control over it, ask yourself, “If this situation arises again, what can I do to reduce its negative impact?” This new mindset puts you in the driver’s seat of your life, and you occupy a position of power.

Master yourself:

Before you can dominate your sector, your goal, dream or ambition, you have to first dominate your every interest, thought, and consideration. You have to learn how to master yourself first.
