This is a great book to remind you to be the best and how it duty to 10x your life not someone else’s so many great insightful thoughts and ideas that I have started to implement

If you've ever read anything about personal achievement, then really you will already know that the real keys to that all begin with the letter A - action, attitude and accountability. This book is by a guy up to his eyebrows in the first two (and as for the third, well, in the end you have to be accountable to yourself, even if it often helps to start by having mentors/coaches etc to be accountable to). I thought I wasn't going to like it - as Mr Cardone is a salesman and I'm a "normal person who really hates salesmen" type, and as Mr Cardone is particularly aggressive in his American persistence of approach. I was wrong. I had read an excellent summary of the book by James Clear, and thought that gave me enough - but when I dipped into the book itself in a bookshop I realised that summarised extracts, while helpful, did not quite do it justice. I bought the book, read it all within 48 hours, and it has already affected how I go about things and what I expect from things. If you want to get there - wherever "there" means for you - and if you don't just expect the world to do stuff for you or to provide you with any magic wands or winning lottery numbers, then I have to recommend this book. Even if you end up thinking you wouldn't like Mr Cardone - and I suspect that unless he was trying to sell you something you didn't want, you would like him - I recommend this book as a life-improver. Not quite a five-star, just because not as comprehensive or wide-ranging as some life-improvement advice books, but well worth the money. The normal price, anyway. Not some of those insane prices that sometimes turn up on Amazon - really, you don't have to spend six hundred quid on such a book, do you - what is that about?!

The book is good when it comes to goal setting its like going beyond your imagination and overdelivering. To achieve this you have to overcome fear, rejection and criticism. That's why Grant calls it the 10x rule.

Due to time restraints brought audio book which I would recommend especially as Grant narrating and really beings the book home!Now putting 10x into action to assist my and family’s life

Was worth all the rave by fellow marketeers

The 10x rule boils down to a simple question: are you growing or are you retreating? The 10x Rule won't make sense until you apply it to your own life and your own goals. It means setting goals that are so big that you risk being laughed at, and aiming so high that even you start to think it's getting ridiculous. That's where the magic is; you think you're aiming too high, but your brain starts to deploying creativity anyway to start getting there.

I bought this book to help me push my Songwriting business forward and it's jam packed with motivation. I'm still yet to see if there will be any results based on taking the 10x approach but it's definitely shifted my approach to sales.The American culture is sometimes hard to translate into British culture but if you strip away the bombastic methods and alter some of the terminology, I'm pretty sure it will prove to be a great tool.There are exercises to complete at the end of each short chapter to embed the knowledge which is good but if you're like me and don't enjoy highlighting in and defacing books, or writing in them, then you'll need a dedicated notebook.Well worth a read!
