The 10X Rule | Book Review

Achieve massive action results and accomplish your dreams! This week, we’re jumping into Grant Cardone’s book…The 10X Rule.

The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone is a hard hitting book encouraging readers to go after their dreams and 10X their goals. In this book review I share my thoughts and favorite quotes from the book.

Cardone discovered most people operate with only three degrees of action-no action, retreat, or normal action.

However, if you’re after big goals, you don’t want to settle for the ordinary. To reach the next level, you must understand the coveted 4th degree of action…the 10X Rule

The Big Take Away from The 10X Rule

Aim ten times higher than you are right now—and if you come up short, then you’ll still find yourself further along than if you maintained your status quo. 

Favorite Quotes

  • “Success tends to bless those who are most committed to giving it the most attention.” 
  • “The moment you start thinking someone else’s gain is your loss, you limit yourself by thinking in terms of competition and shortages.” 
  • “Success is not something that happens to you; it’s something that happens because of you and because of the actions you take.”
  • “Never set realistic goals; you can get a realistic life without setting goals for it.” 
  • “Success must be approached from an ethical viewpoint. Success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility!”

My Thoughts 

The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone is a hard hitting book…he does not pull punches. 

I’m still torn on setting unrealistic goals. I see where he’s coming from, but to me setting unrealistic goals is a formula for failure. 

It is a good book and it caused me to think bigger than I already was…which is not a bad thing.
