Grant Cardone has written an excellent book on success titled The 10X Rule, this book will help you live life on whole new level if you implement the advice that he shares. Grant Cardone is an inspirational individual who is living life on his terms and living it at a 10X level. Below are a few powerful paragraphs from the book. This is an excellent book which I reccommend you purchase if you are serious about success.
“Extreme success, by definition, lies beyond the realm of normal action. If you want to achieve extreme success, you can’t operate like everybody else and settle for mediocrity. You need to remove luck and chance from your business equation, and lock in massive success. Success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility.”
“Separate yourself from everyone else in the market – and you do that by doing what others refuse to do. Stop thinking in terms of basic needs, and start aiming for abundance – in all areas of your life.”
“As I look back at my life, I see that the one thing that was most consistent with any success I’ve achieved was that I always put forth 10 times the amount of activity that others did. For every sales presentation, phone call, or appointment others made, I was making 10 of each. I have approached all my business enterprises with massive action; that has been the single biggest determining factor in any success I have created.”
“Be prepared. Tackle your project with the 10X Rule – like your life depends on it. Manage every action as though you have a camera on you every step of the way. Pretend you’re being recorded as a model by which your children and grandchildren will learn how to succeed in life.”
“Attack everything with the ferociousness of a champion athlete who is getting his last opportunity to claim his pages in the history books. And always remember to follow through completely: That is the great common denominator of all winners. They see every action through to completion. Make no excuses, and adopt a ‘take-no-prisoners’ attitude. Approach every situation with an ‘in-it-to-win-it-whatever-it-takes’ mind-set.”
“Treating success as an option is one of the major reasons why most people don’t create it for themselves – and why most people don’t even get close to living up to their full potential. Ask yourself how close you are to your full capability. You might not like the answer very much. People don’t approach the creation of success as a must have obligation, do or die mission, gotta have it, hungry dog on the back of the meat truck mentality. They then spend the rest of their lives making excuses for why they didn’t get it.”
“The goal is to be seen, thought of, and considered – in one way or another. In order for the endeavour you’ve chosen to work out for you, you have to make constant, relentless effort. Massive action can never hurt you and will always help you. No one is going to come to your house and make your dreams come true. No one is going to march into your company and make your products known to the world. In order to stand out from the crowd you must take massive action.”
“If you underestimate your potential, then it is impossible to set appropriately sized targets. Set the goals too small, and you will not gear up for the massive action necessary. I know the concept of The 10X Rule is NOT for everyone. It is clearly not for anyone who is willing to accept average or mediocrity or for those who prefer to kick back and settle for the leftovers. It is not for those who depend on hope and prayer for their success. The 10X Rule is meant for the few people obsessed with creating an exceptional life.”
