My whole family including my 11 year old son has read this book and they all love it and swear by it. It has given them tools and inspiration to push onto the next phase in their lives. Average and Ok are no longer acceptable in our family!! If you have dreams and goals then there is absolutely no reason not to accomplish them with material like this.
I absolutely LOVED this book- It is straightforward-smart- and easy to apply to REAL life and the REAL marketplace. Read this book if you're serious about getting ahead!
I just trained a car dealership this morning in Oregon. They're Grant Cardone fans. The GM said you "owned the room" at the Oregon Auto Dealers convention. He's proud of his signed 10x book.
If Nigel Tufnel were in sales, he'd forbid you to touch his copy of 10X, because this one goes to eleven! This book is awesome, like all of Grant's books. He has influenced my professional career more than any single person because he has taught me to not only close deals like I never did before, but helped me see the sales aspect of my job without any negative stigma. Grant Cardone is a game changer.
Very pragmatic and motivational. I feel as if I now understand how to take control of my own life and be responsible for my actions or the lack of action.
Picked up this book on a referral from a friend. It ended up showing me exactly what was holding me back and what to do about it. Great Book! I highly recommend it!
've been following Grant's advice for a couple years now, and this - like the many books he's written before, this one can and will lead you down a path of productivity and profit like nothing else you've experienced in life.
This book will pay for itself the day after you read it. Your sales will jump, your confidence and your thinking will improve, and the sky will become the limit. Grant Cardone Technologies have pushed me to levels of production I hadn't expected of myself.
Buy the book with priority overnight delivery, because every day you haven't read it is costing you money.
Where do I start! I absolutely loved this book, and it will go down as one of my all time favourites. In a nutshell sometimes we believe we are taking enough action this book will make you think again and inform you of the correct amount of energy and effort required to making a dream become reality. As an author myself Woman Vs Womaniser "What he knows that you don't" I'm truly grateful this book came across my path!
Most motivation books are a lot of hype and then you fizzle out when you start to do the work, this book is a great balance between work and strategy. Well worth the time and money.
his book is a quick read. You can feel the author's energy as you turn the pages. It offers up a jolt of adrenaline - a wake-up call to get going - offering a compelling case for why you need to do more - so much more. He offers contrarian points of view on the myth of time management - why you should "over-commit" - why criticism is a sign of success and why trying to solve for customer satisfaction may be a misdirection from achieving better sales results. After capturing my attention for ¾'s of the book, the book loses steam when the author offers up 32 separate habits and characteristics of successful people: "Have a Can-do Attitude" - "Focus on Opportunity" - "Love Challenges" - "Persist until Successful - "Take Risks" - "Demonstrate Courage" - "Be Goal Oriented" - "Have High Level of Motivation"
had the pleasure of working with Grant Cardone when I was a sales Manager for a very high volume Ford dealership.
He walks the talk and can really give you a new insight of what it takes to become more than you think you can be.
Really, nothing is impossible. The limitations in your life are the ones that you put on yourself. This guy started out with
nothing and is real success in life, on all levels. It';s up to you...It really is. I also started out with nothing and now I am a millionaire
a couple of times over.... AND I WORKED MY TAIL OFF!!!!! This book has self tests at the end of the chapter which are priceless.
Remember, if it is to be, it is up to me!!!! PLUS... IT IS SO TRUE... I ALWAYS DID WAY MORE THAN MY FRIENDS, RELATIVES, PEOPLE I
WORKED WITH AND FOR.....ALWAYS...NOW THAT I LOOK BACK, IT WAS ABOUT TEN MORE TIMES EFFORT AND WORK THAN ANY OF THEM.
Now they say how lucky I am to be retired at 50.....Go Figure.....
I have followed Grant Cardone for many years. I own EVERY book he has written, and have purchased many of them for my employees.The 10X rule is by far the best one yet!! Clear, concise, and best of all applicable to anyone who wants to have more in their life.I have personally used the concepts outlined in the book and from personal experience, I can guarantee that they work!!! My personal business life has changed drastically in the last 12 months and without this book "guiding me" I am sure that I would not have achieved the success that I have. "Bravo to Grant Cardone" for changing peoples lives for the better!!!
I know that I don't want to recommend this book. I dont want any Realtor in my area to read this book until I have time to establish my footprint on the market. The book didn't start out very well but it gained momentum and really helped me change the way I see my profession. Great book because it spurred so much thinking and optimism. I think I could follow Grant Cardone anywhere.
his is Grant Cardone's best book to date. He clearly defines a path for success in one of the toughest markets in our nations history. Grant is unyielding in his message "Success is your ethical and moral obligation". Regardless of where you are in your career, 10X Rule will energize you and focus your path moving forward.
nteresting concept. I bought aout 10 books for my staff as I want them to do better in their lives. It's great to hear them saying little quotes from the book during sales meetings. Can't wait to finish the book.
Anytime you can take 30 years of experience, success, trial, error, failure, achievement, action and have it distilled into something you can buy for 30 bucks it's a good thing. In the case of the 10X rule, it's so much more than that. This book not only passes on the knowledge, but is a page turner that puts you in a frame of mind to go out and conquer the world.
The Author communicates the amount of action necessary to ensure you get exactly what you want from life no matter what that thing is. I'm now have his other titles high on my list of books to read this year: Sell to Survive, Closers Survival Guide and If You're Not First You're Last.
This is a MUST READ book that will change your life, it changed mine.
If you're on the fence about it, get off. Take action, and make your life what you want it to be.
I have read the book and Listened to the audio version of the book. Grants advice is dead on. The advice you get, can and will take your life to the next level. It is easy to read and you will learn something helpful in every chapter. You can start using his advice immediately and start changing your life, for the better. I have been in sales 20 years, Grant is the best sales trainer in the country. I read or listen to more then one book a week and this is one of the best books on success, I have ever had the pleasure of reading. You should buy this book.
Many of his opinions are ones I share as I've built my company. Having started very early in my life in business, I found myself competing against those who had "head starts," that is, they were older, more experienced, and had a more established book of business to show off as they were making sales. What I lacked in examples, I made up for in drive and determination, and this has created a successful company.
Simply the best book I've ever read on success in any area of life. A realistic proven approach that the author implemented to create a phenomenal life. Grant Cardone is simply THE BEST at what he does. If you're serious, this is the only book you need.
lthough I had heard of Grant Cardone in the past, what really woke me up to him was the TA King on NatGeo. I consider myself a turnaround sales professional and what he said and did hit home for me. I jumped online and immediately ordered an audio program of his and the 10X book. I liked it so much, I bought the downloadable audio version for my iPod.
I do not have much more to add than what has already been said in other reviews. I simply wanted to give my 5-star vote to an awesome book that I truly needed at a time in life where my activity level has temporarily dropped. My past success was 99% attributed to massive action. This book reminded me to stop whining like a little bitch (a chapter in the book) and kick it up several notches. The results where immediate.
Grant is able to write in a very accessible way and the lessons in the book were very valuable I felt. While it's not a step-by-step instructional book on how to succeed, Grant does offer some very thought-provoking lessons that caused me to look at my own situation and want to change it.
Being skeptical I definitely needed to read this book. Just one chapter in I have shifted my way of thinking and it is already paying off. To be the man you have to be 10x the man! Time to dominate!
t's not just motivation though because as I read the book, I was able to write down clear action steps and refocus my life on what was absolutely essential to see the success I am dreaming about.
I read about 60 books a year, have had a successful investment real estate career and have started my own non-profit group that is in it's fourth location in one year due to growth. But, Grant Cardone's 10X Rule was not only my favorite book of 2011, it is also one of the Top 5 Books I've ever read.
The mindset of success is drilled into you throughout this book and gradually, you begin to grasp what GC is
trying to tell you all along; responsibility is an ethical duty and obligation. Also interesting are the four degrees of
action including the "most dangerous" third degree which describes the middle class as being unaware and the hardest to
convince that more action is needed to truly achieve what you want in life. You won't be mollycoddled, Grant hits you
with cold, plain truth. If you are looking for excuses in life then this book isn't for you. But if you want to achieve
your goals in any and every area of your life then this is an absolute must-read. Falling short is not an option and if
you want to succeed, you need to learn from those who have been there, done it and whom preferably are still doing it! 10X
Your Life encourages you to dream big, think big and act big and plan and realise goals 10 x what you ever thought possible!
Grant Cardone puts a new spin on success. 10x leaves you no room to be a victim of circumstance. Since success principles are pretty well "discovered"...same truths have been around a VERY long time...you might think there's nothing new out there.... but in this book the twist is you've not been doing too much or setting your goals and dreams too high, but way too low. Reading this has given me a whole new viewpoint on what I need to be doing to really bring my dreams into reality. I read it through fast and now I'm going to go back through again to do the, exercises after each chapter.
As I was reading this book my look at life started to change. I wasn't happy with the way I was approaching things anymore. It's weird, Grant's view on how to approach things is SOOO different than everyone else's. I never thought of thinking the way he thinks. I guess that's why he lives in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills and I don't! At any rate I started doing what Grant says to do in The 10X Rule told me and it works....fast! Totally buy and read this book! BTW, this is the first and only review I've ever felt compelled to write, that's how much I think of this book. It doesn't matter what your goal in life is, just do what he tells you in the book and you'll accomplish your goal.
ardone's 10X Rule (Domination Mentality) is in words rather simple: think far beyond current expectations and goals, making them 10 times the size of current concepts, and don't let anything get in your way to reaching greater, substantial heights - in career expectations, in money, in relationships, and in health and longevity. Or as Cardone proposes, 'You must set targets that are 10 times what you think you want and then do 10 times what you think it will take to accomplish those targets. Massive thoughts must be followed by massive actions.' Early on in his book he offers the following: 'the following is the basic series of mistakes people make when setting out to achieve goals: 1. Mistargeting by setting objectives that are too low and don't allow for enough correct motivation. 2. Severely underestimating what it will take in terms of actions, resources, money, and energy to accomplish target. 3. Spending to much time competing and not enough time dominating their sector. and 4. Underestimating the amount of adversity they will need to overcome in order to actually attain their desired goal.'
The 10X Rule is an articulate, well thought book expounding on "do more than everyone else". While the phrase may be cliched, Grant's ways of expressing all the different ways to do just that got me to take action. I thought I worked harder than most people, but found several areas for improvement, as illustrated within these pages. One example: I've really ramped up proactive use of Twitter and Facebook, leading to many more fruitful conversations for mutually beneficial interactions.
rant Cardone does provide a thought-provoking approach to attaining whatever it is you want in your life... if you want BIG things, then you must take BIG action.
Finally a straight to the point no fluff do this now book, although the principle is simple do 10 times more than you think you should... the whole book is set up to go through step by step with examples of how to build the 10x. Next to the Slight Edge (probably one of the greatest books on success) I have never highlighted taken more notes or written more in a book
I'm reading 10X for the 2nd time now methodically (like a textbook). Grant is a master motivator, and this book is well worth the money. I/you just have to be all in on the deal, set high goals, and always be hustling. 10X is not a book, it is a lifestyle, a new strategem. 10X has without a doubt made a profound change in my attitudes and confidence levels...As a business owner this is priceless, go to the well of Cardone...Learn/Train/Implement the techniques and try harder on this than anything you do. If you truly bust your ass, think outside the box, become fearless in life...and have the I'm the Man Attitude (10xed) then you/we will achieve success. It is your Duty.
Here are the top 7 things I learned (or was reminded of in a positive way):
1. Instead of blaming the economy for down sales, blame your activity level for being too low
It's easy to get in the mindset that the problem is the market or the economy. He makes a
great case that the problem is the activity of you and/or the employees in your company.
2. Become omnipresent
He has a chapter about omnipresence. This is a GREAT mindset for marketing....become
omnipresent in your market.
3. Seek to dominate your market instead of being competitive.
Being competitive is the wrong target. This is a great point and changes your mindset
totally.
4. We consistently underestimate the activity level required to get a result
The problem isn't laziness or anything else. It's simply that we underestimate
the activity level required to launch a new product, make sales or create a
successful marketing funnel.
5. 10x thinking + 10x action
This isn't about thinking only (like Think and Grow Rich) or action only.
Action without the right thought behind it spins your wheels.
6. Set your goal to be 10x greater than you think you need
Expand your thinking. I like this idea. It changes the activities you
plan to reach your goal.
7. Plan to take 10x the actions you think you need
I'm a producer in the film industry and I read your book 'The 10x Rule' and it was amazing. I wanted to thank you for it. Your book helped give me some clarity. I can see that through hard work and setting large goals that I can actually get out of this and come out far ahead from where I went in. I've had some amazing mentors in my life and now I consider you one of them and I believe I will be coming back to you to tell you about my happy ending. Thank you for writing this book and being you.”
The info in the book is money. I read The 10x Rule book and I just finished the audio book- well done on the audio Grant. It is all good shit. If you think $30 is a lot of money to spend on a book then you need this book."
In the Airport I bought the 10X rule and read it between New York and Denmark and got even more inspired.I am writing this e-mail 5 am because I can't sleep because of my obsession. From now on I will live by the 10X rule and I will dominate my sector. Success is my duty, obligation and responsibility. “
watch Grant's 2 Turnaround King shows which I dvr'd. I have watched each show about 30 times each. I started reading Grant's blog religiously and bought his 10x book.Well, in August we had a selling event at our Warehouse in Billerica, Mass. That Saturday, I wound up selling over $40,000.00 worth of furniture. It was the first time I had actually sold anything. My CEO and the National sales manager were there and were impressed. We had a follow up meeting and I gave the CEO the 10X book to read. They were impressed with my passion for this and many of the things that I took from Grant. We have 6 showrooms now, and it looks like we are going to open 2 more.
The 10X Rule literally was instrumental in helping save my life. So reading your book literally brought me back from the brink of death and now as a success story I made the most money I've ever made in one week $4,000.
"Not only do I own 'The 10X Rule', I have every tape, cd, dvd and book ever written by Grant. My success in life and business can be attributed mostly to Joe Girard and Grant Cardone."
I loved them both. Arrived home after a 12-hour day today and opened this email about the 85 closes, shared it with our team, laughed my butt off and ordered the package. You are definitely blasting everyone with solid stuff. Thanks for making my day."
You should have warned me, man. I've read Covey, Brian Tracy, Jack Canfield and countless other books and I can honestly say that you are the best. Thank you so much for this book.I am 26 years old and I wish I had read your book much earlier in life. I really can't recommend it enough."
I've read various motivational books but The 10X Rule has become my all-time favorite. I now have the book and the audiobook on my phone so that I can listed to it while driving.
As a matter of fact, with the audiobook I was pleasantly surprised to hear that it's actually Grant Cardone reading his own book! His enthusiasm is not only genuine but infectious.
I was lucky enough to pick up The 10X Rule while starting a new company. The 10X Rule made us realize that even as an upstart we needed to think big...10X BIG! We soon realized that we didn't just need to compete but dominate. We landed a huge deal right out of the gates by following what Grant Cardone suggests.
If you apply the principles that Grant Cardone suggests in The 10X Rule you WILL achieve, make no mistake about it! It isn't just for business or salespeople. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to achieve more in life.
