They failed because I had very little goals when I started writing them. Take for examples all those failed drafts in that hidden folder on my PC. I had to backtrack a bit to my own work and was then able through examination of my working style to determine that the 10X Rules is very accurate indeed. This made a lot of sense to me when I read it. if you have a whole day spare and you tell yourself you’ll write 1000 words… well there are always other things you could be doing!) or b) your mind simply won’t commit fully to the work that needs to be done. If you plan too little there’s always the chance that you will a) put off the work (e.g. I think Cardone sums it up quite eloquently when he says: (paraphrased) ‘I would rather fall short of a TOO BIG goal than too little’.Īs well as: If you plan big your mind starts to think in different pathways. To do 10 times more work when others are already relaxing in front of their PCs/TVs. To put in 10 times as much effort as you believed would be required. To plan 10 times as much as you initially intended. This is the most important piece of information in this book. If you plan to make 1.000.000 dollars/euros/monies with your company this year plan to make 10.000.000 instead. If you have it in mind to write ten short stories a year, then plan to write 100. This means that if you for example you plan to write one book per year, you’re instead asked to plan 10. The 10X Rule in a nutshell is that with everything you do/plan/start you are supposed to plan 10 times as much work. The 10X Rule and success strategies (sounds corny, yes)? I had to know what this was about.Īnd I found out quite quickly after the (somewhat annoying because I wanted to KNOW THE RULE!) introduction. I bought it primarily because I was intrigued by the title. The 10X Rule is actually quite a short book. It’s one of those concepts that can be used to improve yourself in every possible way. It can actually applied in every area of your life and work. But let me just tell you: The 10X Rule isn’t only valid for business. You might wonder why an author would read a book that’s so much geared towards success in your business. As promised, today’s post will be a review of Grant Cardone’s business (actually ‘life’) advice book The 10X Rule.
