"Average is a failing formula. The only way to guarantee safety is to take Massive Action until you are too big to fail." — Grant Cardone
This is not the end. This is the starting line.
Over the last 8 posts, we have destroyed the myths of "Balance," "Patience," and "Customer Satisfaction." We have learned that Success is a Duty and Fear is a GPS.
In the Final Part (Part 9) of The 10X Rule series, we bring it all together. Reading this series made you smarter, but it didn't make you richer. Only Action will do that. Today, we discuss the price you will pay for a 10X life—and why it is worth every penny.
1. Warning: You Will Lose Friends
When you start operating at 10X levels, the people around you will get uncomfortable.
The Mirror Effect
Your hard work acts as a mirror to their laziness.
They will say: "Relax, why are you working so hard?" or "You've changed."
The Truth: They haven't changed, and that's the problem. You are expanding; they are contracting.
Indian Context: This is the "Crab Mentality." If one crab tries to escape the bucket, the others pull it down. Don't let average people pull you back into the bucket of mediocrity.
2. The Ultimate 10X Strategy
Most people wait for the "perfect plan."
Grant Cardone says: "Commit first, figure out the rest later."
• Do you want to start a business? Register the domain name today.
• Do you want to buy a house? Go look at properties today.
When you commit (put skin in the game), your brain is forced to find a solution. If you wait until you are "ready," you will never start.
3. The DNA of Success
In the book, Grant lists 32 traits of successful people. Here are the top 5 you must adopt immediately:
- 1. "Can Do" Attitude: Never say "It can't be done." Say "How can it be done?"
- 2. Focus on Opportunity: While others see problems (Recession), you see opportunities (Cheap assets).
- 3. Love Challenges: Treat problems like breakfast. The bigger the problem you solve, the richer you get.
- 4. Persist until Successful: Most people quit after 1 failure. 10X people quit only after they win.
- 5. Take Risks: "Playing it safe" is the most dangerous thing you can do in a volatile economy.
4. The 10X Cheat Sheet
Save this list. Read it every morning.
| Concept | The 10X Rule |
|---|---|
| Goals | Set them 10x bigger than you think is possible. |
| Action | Do 10x more effort. (Massive Action). |
| Excuses | Zero tolerance. Success is your duty. |
| Fear | Use it as a compass. Go towards it. |
| Marketing | Be Omnipresent. Obscurity is the enemy. |
5. The 30-Day 10X Challenge
I challenge you. For the next 30 days:
1. Write down your goals every morning and every night.
2. Do one thing every day that terrifies you.
3. Cut out all TV/Netflix. Use that time to learn or work.
4. Take "Massive Action" on one project.
If you do this, you will not recognize your life in a month. You will have momentum. And momentum is the magic of success.
Final Series Recap
- Average is Dangerous: The middle class is the most vulnerable place to be. Get out of there.
- Obsession is Good: Don't seek balance; seek abundance.
- Dominate: Don't compete. Create your own economy.
- It's Up To You: No one is coming to save you. You have to be the hero of your own movie.
