first KEY POINT

The 10X Rule is the underlying factor behind all extraordinary feats

You probably picked this tidbit, wondering what the 10X Rule is and if it can truly help you accomplish all your dreams and more.Let's begin with some back story. Grant Cardone is a successful real estate investor. Over the years, he has built many successful companies; people always ask him the one secret to his massive success.The question has always taken him back. After pondering it, he discovered that he succeeded because he obeyed the 10X Rule. He always went the extra mile in all that he did. According to Grant Cardone, he constantly saw to it that he put in 10 times more effort than the average person would.

The 10X Rule says it takes at least times more action and thinking to move beyond your current level of success.

Many people set lofty goals but need to remember how much action is required to shift their mindset to achieve them, which is why they often fall short. You'll understand this if you've happily set New Year's Day resolutions and pushed your way through to December 31st without actualizing up to 50% of them.

The 10X Rule strongly emphasizes 10X goals. At best, you're only as successful as the targets you set — both aspects of the rule work hand-in-hand. You need lofty, extraordinary desires, and you must put in enough effort to make them a reality.In the following chapters, we’ll go deep into how to set lofty goals and take the right amount of action needed for an extraordinary life. It's going to be a fascinating and educational ride.

Success is relative; not everyone has the same definition

Success is often considered the progressive actualization of predetermined goals. But that's a generic definition. When you get down to the nitty-gritty of it, you'll find that success largely depends on who you ask.The parameters change as you grow. As a kid, success probably meant going to school with candy or staying up past your bedtime. Success for a teenager is making good grades in school, getting a high school lover, and earning some good bucks.Grown-ups have different success parameters. Getting married, raising kids, and building a successful company are milestones that most adults have in common. The bottom line is we all use different parameters to measure success.However, irrespective of your success parameters, there are a few things you need to know to succeed:• Success is important.
• Success is your duty.
• There is no shortage of success.Your life will be hard if you fail in your endeavors; you won't last long in your career, and you'll struggle financially, spiritually, and relationally. To put it simply, you'll live an unhappy life. Potential is locked within you, and your life will be frustrating if you continue living below that potential. However, success will only come to you if you work toward it.
