Here are the quotes that I LOVE:
''The 10X Rule assumes the target is never the problem.
Any target attacked with the right actions in the right amounts with
persistence is attainable. Even if I want to visit another planet, I must
assume that the right actions taken in the right amounts over whatever time
necessary will allow me to accomplish this.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''You cannot get to the next phase of a project without a
grander mind-set, more acceleration, and extra horsepower. Your thoughts and
actions are the reasons why you are where you are right now. So it would be
reasonable to be suspect of both! ''
''Why spend your life making only enough money to end
up with not enough money? Why work out in the gym only once a week, just
to get sore and never see a change in your body type? Why get merely ‘good’ at
something when you know the marketplace only rewards excellence? Why work eight
hours a day at a job where no one recognizes you when you could be a
superstar—and perhaps even run or own the place? All these examples require
energy. Only your 10X targets really pay off! ''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''When you miscalculate the efforts you need to make something
happen, you become visibly disappointed and discouraged. This causes you to
incorrectly identify the problem and sooner or later assume that the target is
unattainable and ultimately throw in the towel.''
''Regardless of the timing, the economy, the product, or how
big your venture is, the right acts done to the right degree over time will
make you successful.''
''1. Success is important.
2. Success is your duty.
3. There is no shortage of success.''
''If you are able to repeatedly attain success, it becomes less
of a ‘success’ and more of a habit—almost everyday life for some people.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''The founders of Google didn't stop the creation of Facebook,
nor did two decades of Microsoft's dominance prevent Steve Jobs from raising
Apple's profile with iPods, iPhones, and iPads. Similarly, the amount of new products,
ideas, and successful creations by these companies over the past few years will
not prevent others—maybe you—from generating success at even more astounding
magnitudes.''
''success is not something that happens to you; it's
something that happens because of you and because of the actions you
take.''
''To get where you want to go in life, you must adopt the view
that whatever is going on in your world—good, bad, or nothing—is
something caused by you.''
''If you are willing to
take credit when you win, you have to take credit when you don't! ''
''Taking massive action means making somewhat unreasonable
choices and then following these up with even more action. This level of action
will be considered by some to be borderline insane, well beyond the agreed-upon
social norm—and will always create new problems. But remember: If you don't
create new problems, then you're not taking enough action.''
''What happens to entire classes of people who made average
financial plans when faced with extended periods of very difficult economic
times or decades of extended unemployment? Average is a failing plan!''
''Average assumes—incorrectly, of course—that everything
operates stably.People optimistically overestimate how well things will go and
then underestimate how much energy and effort it will take just to push things through.
Anyone who has made it in business will support this concept. You simply cannot
train or prepare for normal amounts of gravity or resistance,competition, and
market conditions. Don't think average; think massive.Compare your actions to
having to carry a 1,000-pound backpack that you will wear every day into a
40-miles-per-hour wind on a 20-degree upward slope.Prepare for massive,
persistent action, and you will win! ''
''People's failure to
think big enough usually means they will never act big enough, often
enough, or persistently enough! After all, who gets excited about so-called
realistic goals? And who can stay excited about anything with an—at
best—average payoff? This is why people begin to bail on projects when they
experience any kind of resistance; their goals are not big enough. To maintain
your enthusiasm, you have to make your goals substantial enough that they keep
your attention.''
''Average goal setting cannot and will not fuel massive 10X
actions. If you approach an endeavor with average thinking, you will start to
give up the moment you come up against any challenges, resistance, or less than
optimal conditions—unless you have some big juicy purpose as your engine. To
get through resistance, you must have a big reason to get there. The bigger and
more unrealistic your goals are—and the more they're aligned to your
purpose and duty—the more they'll energize and fuel your actions.''
''Most people go to college not because they want to but
because they are told to go. Most people belong to the religion they belong to
only because they were brought up that way. Most people speak only the language
that their family speaks and never take the time to learn another language.
Most of us are influenced by the decisions our parents,teachers, and friends
have made and then the limitations set by them and for us. I bet that if I
asked your five closest associates about their goals, I'd probably be able to
identify some of yours as well. You—and your goals—are manipulated by your
surroundings.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''I will never tell another person what his or her goals
should be. However, I would advise that when you do set your goals, take into
account that you have been educated with restrictions. Be aware of this so that
you don't underestimate the possibilities. Then take the following into
account: (1) You are setting these for you—not for anyone else. (2)
Anything is possible. (3) You have much more potential than you realize. (4)
Success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility. (5) There is no shortage
of success. (6) Regardless of the size of the goal, it will require work. Once
you've reviewed these concepts, then sit down and write out your goals. And
then be willing to rewrite them every day until they are achieved.''
''I recommend you do the following:
1. Set 10X targets.
2. Align them with your other purposes.
3. Write them down every day—when you wake up and
before you go to sleep.''
''Never make it your goal to compete. Instead, do
everything you can to dominate your sector in order to avoid spending your time
chasing someone else.Don't let another company set the pace; make this your organization's
job. Stay ahead of the pack. Make it so that they want to chase you and
try to be like you,not the other way around. This doesn't mean that you
shouldn't study others' best practices in industry trends; however, you want to
make it your job to take those concepts to another level. For example, Apple
makes computers and smartphones; it didn't simply copy what Dell, IBM, Rimm,
and others were doing. Apple doesn't compete; it dominates, it sets the pace,
and it lets others try to duplicate its success. Don't set your goals at a
competitive level. Set them at a level that will overshadow and dominate your
sector completely.''
''How do you dominate, you may wonder? The first step is to
decide to dominate. Then the best way to dominate is to do what others refuse
to do. That's right—do what they will not do. This will allow you to
immediately carve out a space for yourself and develop an unfair advantage. Let
me be clear: I want an unfair advantage if I can create one. Though I am
always ethical, I never play fair. I seek out ways in which I can get an unfair
advantage—and one surefire way to do this is to do what others won't. Find
something they cannot do, maybe because of their size or their commitment to
other projects, and then exploit that.''
''Never play by the agreed-upon norms within which others
operate. The rules,norms, and traditions of any group or industry are usually
traps that prevent new ideas, higher levels of greatness, and domination. You
don't want to just be in a race; you want to be at the top of the list of
considerations. Even better, you would like to be the only one
considered as a viable solution. You need to adopt the attitude that you have
so much power in your space that your clients, your market, and even your
competition automatically think about you first when they think about
what you do. IBM did this so successfully that all PCs were referred to as
IBMs.''
''You can always learn from those who want to compete; just
don't chase them.Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, was said to shop other stores
weekly in order to see what they were doing well and improve on that. At the
same time, he also had the goal of domination, not competition.''
''You can't dominate if you don't penetrate, and you won't
penetrate by using reasonable levels of activity.Your biggest problem is obscurity—other people don't know you and
aren't thinking about you.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''The marketplace is brutal and will punish anyone and
everyone who does not take the right amounts of action.''
''Obsession is not a bad thing here; it is a requirement to
get where you want to go. In fact, you want to be so fanatical about success
that the world knows you will not compromise or go away. And until you become
completely obsessed with your mission, no one will take you seriously. Until
the world understands that you're not going away—that you are 100 percent
committed and have complete and utter conviction and will persist in pursuing
your project—you will not get the attention you need and the support you want.''
''Something has
to absorb your thoughts every second of every day—so what should it be? Be
obsessed with something. Make your dreams, goals, and mission your mind's and
actions' dominant concern! ''
''But show me one person who has achieved greatness without
being obsessed on some level. You simply cannot do it. Any individual or group
that accomplished something significant was completely obsessed with the idea
of it.''
''Become obsessed about
the things you want; otherwise, you are going to spend a lifetime being obsessed
with making up excuses as to why you didn't get the life you wanted.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Demand obsession of yourself and all those around
you.Never make it wrong to be obsessed; instead, make it your goal. Obsession
is what you will need to set 10X goals and to follow them up with 10X actions.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''We are encouraged
to conserve and protect ourselves from losses rather than to go for the big
payoff…This mind-set is … based on the myth that your energy, creativity, and
efforts are material things with limited quantities that cannot be replaced.
There are certain things in life that have limits, but you don't unless you
impose limits on yourself.''
''Remember: There are
no shortages of how many times you can get up and continue! There is no failure
unless you quit! It is impossible for you to “use up” all of your energy—or
creativity. It is impossible for you to run out of ideas.You'll never lose the
ability to come up with new dreams, have more energy,think creatively, look at
a situation or event differently, give someone another call, use another
tactic, or act with persistence. There will always be another hand, another
day—and another chance. If the bank you are working with continues to refill
you with new supplies of energy, creativity, and persistence,then why not go
all in on every hand? ''
''Learn to commit
first, and figure out how to show up later.Most people simply never bother to
perform and instead spend their time trying to wrap their heads around things
that may never happen for them. Anyone who doesn't face new problems but who
instead grapples with the same old problems his or her whole life isn't moving
forward. Simply put: If you are not creating new problems for yourself, then
you aren't taking enough action.''
''One of the major differences
between successful and unsuccessful people is that the former look for problems
to resolve, whereas the latter make every attempt to avoid them. So remember:Overcommit, be all in, and take
massive levels of action followed up by massive amounts of more actions. You
will create new problems and deliver at levels that will amaze even you.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''I would rather fail pushing forward than in retreat.''
''Remember 10X...You want to expand with the goal of
dominating your sector and getting attention by taking massive action. Only
then will you be able to expand your contacts, influences, connections, and
visibility with the goal of creating new problems. You will then continue to
expand until everyone—including your supposed competitors—knows you are the
dominant 10X player and always associates your name with what you do.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''It's easiest and most natural to continue taking massive
actions when you are winning—and winning is only possible with massive actions.''
''Keep taking action
until you can't stop your forward momentum. You might even find yourself
operating on less sleep and food because you are literally subsisting on your
adrenaline generated by your victories. It will be about this time that people
start offering you admiration—and then advice. Be particularly wary of those
who suggest you have ‘done enough’ or who advise you to take a rest or
vacation. Now is not the time for rest and celebration; it's time for more
action.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''One of the problems with success is that it demands
continuous attention. Success tends to bless those who are most committed to
giving it the most attention. It's somewhat like a lawn or garden; no matter
how green it gets or beautiful the flowers, you must continue to tend to it.
You have to keep mowing, trimming, edging, watering, and planting; otherwise,
your grass will turn brown and your flowers will die. That is the case for
success as well. There is no retreating for those who want to create and
keep it. It is a myth to believe that the successful get to ‘kick back’ and
stop making the very efforts that have brought them fulfillment in the first
place.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''But rather than seeing fear as a sign to run—as most other
people in the market will do—it must become your indicator to go.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Every successful person I know of has used fear as an indicator to
determine which actions will provide the greatest return.''
''If you aren't experiencing fear, you are not taking new
actions and growing. It's as simple as that. It does not take money or luck to
create a great life; it requires the ability to move past your fears with speed
and power. Fear, like fire, is not something from which you should pull away.
Rather, it should be used to fuel the actions of your life.''
''Every single person has 168 hours in a week, and based on a
typical 40-hour work week, the average U.S. employee is only productive 37.5 of
those 168 hours (30 minutes for lunch each day). And it's pretty unlikely that
most people actually work this entire 37.5 hours. In fact, the average
individual spends 22.3 percent of his or her available time at work, 33.3
percent asleep, and then 16.6 percent in front of a TV or online—and those
comparisons assume that the person spends 100 percent of his or her time at
work actually working! Then these very same people worry about balance and time
management. But an imbalance is always going to occur when you don't do enough
with the time you have.''
''People act as though work is something to get through,
yet in reality, they spend very little of their time even doing it. Most people only work enough so that it
feels like work, whereas successful people work at a pace that gets such
satisfying results that work is a reward. Truly successful people don't even call it work; for them, it's a
passion. Why? Because they do enough to win!''
''Wake up! No one is going to save you. No one is going to
take care of your family or your retirement. No one is going to ‘make things’
work out for you. The only way to do so is to utilize every moment of
every day at 10X levels. This will ensure that you accomplish your goals and
dreams. Happiness, security, confidence, and fulfillment come from utilizing
your gifts and energy to achieve whatever you've decided is success for you.
And it requires every bit of your time, which is yours—and only yours—to
control.''
''Customer satisfaction doesn't concern me very much! Why?
Because I know that we over-deliver to our clients and provide customer service
that is well beyond ‘satisfactory.’ We over-deliver to every client, and we never
say no until we absolutely have to. We don't even talk about customer satisfaction
in my office. We do talk a lot about how to get more customers because
attracting customers to our program is the only way to increase customer
satisfaction. You get it. Increasing customer satisfaction is impossible without
increasing customers. Whether someone signs up for our free tip of the week or
buys a book for $30, an audio program for $500, or a long-term training contract
for $1 million, we always over-deliver what is expected. I only concern myself
with getting more customers, then I over-deliver to my clients.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''The attainment of the customer is paramount to customer satisfaction,
and customer satisfaction cannot exist
without a customer! The attainment of the customer is the most important thing
to me. Same thing in relationships: first it is getting the wife, then it is
keeping her happy, then it is growing the family, and then looking at new ways
to keep everyone happy. What was most important? Getting the wife was paramount
to wife satisfaction.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Brands that truly deliver customer satisfaction do not talk
about customer service; they focus on customer acquisition.Emerging
organizations first need people to know about them, then do everything they can
to make them happy. Remember, customer satisfaction cannot exist without a
customer first.''
''Would Facebook and Google be better off if they provided
their services to only a few people? If they would, I wouldn't even use them as
examples.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Remember, even if your product and company deliver
perfectly, you are going to get complaints from customers—because they're
human. You can't keep everyone happy all the time. It's a mistake to be scared
of complaints. Instead, encourage them, look for them, find them, and then
resolve them. Complaints are your customers' very direct way of telling you
exactly how to make your product better. If you approach every situation
wrought with anxiety about offending a client, then you will never attain
dominance in the market.''
''Companies fail not because they offend customers but
because they don't take enough action to make these individuals customers in
the first place. And I assure you that these very same companies hold one
meeting after another on improving customer satisfaction. They will survey
those who buy from them instead of taking the time to ask those who didn't buy.
Add to this the fact that most of these surveys focus on what the sales associate
did wrong rather than on what is inadequate about the organization's thinking
and processes.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Remember the operative order of importance: customer
acquisition is the primary target, followed by customer loyalty, followed by
customers who spread the word about you. This approach allows a company to
continue to invest in product development and improvement, enhance processes,
and increase promotion—which ultimately creates real customer
satisfaction.''
''Unless people know who you are, no one will pay attention to
what you represent. You have to get
people to know you, which means that you have to get attention. The more
attention you get, the more places you will be; the more people you are with,
the more you can be everywhere. And all of this will improve your chances
of using your good name to do good work.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''You are capable of much more than you're doing now.''
''All powerful companies, ideas, products, and people are
omnipresent. They can be found everywhere. They dominate their sector and
become synonymous with that which they represent. Real success is measured by
longevity. So if you want to be excited and passionate for the long haul, then
make omnipresence your constant goal. Your name, brand, and reputation are your
most valuable assets only if enough people know of them and use them. And
remember, the best way to even the score against those who have it in for
you is to make yourself so well known that every time they look up—each morning
when they wake and right before they go to sleep at night—they see evidence of
you and your success.''
''Throwing up your hands
at a task will not move things forward. Communicate to yourself and others that
you are willing to do what is necessary to figure it out! An alternative response
to ‘I don't know’ is ‘Great question. Let me check into that and figure it
out.’ You are still being honest, but you're inciting a solution instead of implying
ineptitude.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Remember: Success is overcoming a challenge.
Therefore, you can't succeed without some kind of difficulty. It doesn't really
matter what the challenge is; as long as you handle it adequately, you'll be
rewarded. And the bigger the problem is, the bigger the opportunity as well. When
a problem exists for the entire market and all the people in it, it becomes an
equalizer. The only person who stands out is the opportunity-focused individual
who sees those problems as openings for success. These people are able to use
the issue at hand to separate themselves and dominate the marketplace. There
are countless situations that most people tend to see as setbacks and nothing
else: recessions, unemployment, housing predicaments, conflict, customer
complaints, and company shutdowns, to name a few. If you can learn to see these
as prospects instead of problems, you'll continually come out on top.''
''Highly successful
individuals are compelled and invigorated by challenges. The idea of being
overwhelmed, I believe, is the result of never taking enough action to generate
enough winning. Success begets more success, and losses increase your chances
of more losses. Challenges are the experiences that sharpen successful people's
abilities. To achieve your goals, you have to get to a place where every
challenge becomes fuel for you.''
''The more you win in life,
the higher your potential will be—and the more you will grow to love challenges.''
''Persistence is a great advantage to anyone who wants to
multiply his or her success—because most other people have given up on their
innate ability to persist. When you retrain yourself to do whatever is
necessary to ensure that you are in the best mental, emotional, and financial
position to persevere—you will find yourself on the list of the most
successful.''
''At some point, you will have to take a risk, and the
successful are willing to do so daily. In the truly big casinos of life and business, do you really take enough risk
to create the success you want and need? Most people never go far enough in
getting recognized, gaining attention, and making a big splash; they are trying
to protect or conserve a reputation, a position, or some already achieved
state. The successful are willing to take gambles—to put it all out there and
know, regardless of the outcome, that they can go back and do it again. They
allow themselves to be criticized, looked at, and seen by the world—while the
unsuccessful hold back and play it safe.''
''Be one of the unreasonable ones. They are usually the people
who make a huge difference in our world.''
''Figure out how to create wealth through the exchange of
great ideas, quality service, and effective problem solving.''
''Half measures achieve nothing in terms of results—except for
tiring out the person engaging in the half measures. This is why most people
refer to work as though it were an illness. Only those who go all the way and
see things through until they're done experience the rewards that the workplace
has to offer.''
''The more frequently you can do things that scare you a bit,
the more others will label you as courageous—and then gravitate toward you.Courage comes to those who act, not to
those who think, wait, and wonder. The only way to hone this trait is by
taking action. Although you can train to increase your skills and your
confidence, courage is only attained by doing—especially doing things
that you fear.''
''Successful people love change, whereas the unsuccessful do
everything they can to keep things from changing. But how can you create
success when you are trying to keep things from becoming any different? It is
impossible.''
''Successful people invest time, energy, and money in
improving themselves. As a result, they don't focus on how hard the work is but
rather on how rewarding the results are! When you are winning because you have
perfected your approach, it won't feel like work; it will feel like success.
And nothing tastes as good as the victory of success.''
''Far too many folks spend more time planning what they will
get at the grocery store than they do setting the most important goals of their
lives. If you don't stay focused on your goals, you will spend your life
achieving the objectives of other people—particularly those who are
goal-oriented.''
''Successful people don't value effort or work or time spent
on an activity; they value the results. Unsuccessful individuals attach great
importance to the time they spend at work and their attempts at getting
results—even if nothing happens….Let's face it: Like it or not, the results are
all that matter.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Quit patting yourself on the back for trying, and save your
rewards and accolades for actual accomplishment. Drive yourself so that no one
else has to. Be hard on yourself and never let yourself off the hook until you get
results. Results (not efforts)—regardless of the challenges, resistance, and problems—are
a primary focus of the successful.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''The successful are a lot like magicians; they don't deal in
other people's realities.Instead, they are bent on creating a new reality for
themselves that is different from the one that others accept. They aren't
interested in what other people deem possible or impossible; they only care
about producing the things they dream are possible.''
''It is
not necessarily the smartest and brightest who win in the game of life but
rather those who can commit the most passionately to their cause.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''There has never been
a book, audio program, download, webinar, or speech from which I have not benefited—even from
the ones that sucked.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Make a habit of ‘reaching up’ in all of your
relationships—toward people who are better connected, better educated, and even
more successful. These individuals have much more to share than your supposed
‘equals.’ ''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''You have to interact with people who are better than you.
It's the only way to become better yourself.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Discipline is what you use to complete any activity until
the activity—regardless of how uncomfortable—becomes your normal operating
procedure.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''The goal has to be more valuable than the
risk—or you have determined the wrong target.''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
''Successful people commit first and figure the rest out
later.''
Remember: Your only
real problem is obscurity.
''(Stay focused on the future, be unreasonable about it,
continue to add wood, and don't focus on what people say has been done, can be
done, or is possible!) People are so caught up in their own negativity and
losses that they give up on creating the future they want. Others feel the need
to criticize other peoples' ventures as a way to justify giving up on their
own. Never regard the impossible; instead, stay focused on what you can do to
make the supposedly impossible possible. It is a good thing I didn't bother to
listen to all the naysayers, huh?''
''Big thinking, massive actions, expansion, and risk taking
are necessary for your survival and future growth.''
''Success is not a choice or an option; it's your duty to operate
at the right level of thoughts and actions. So follow through on your responsibility
to leave a footprint on this planet—so that when you are done with your tour of
duty, you will be remembered for approaching your life with nothing less than the
biggest of dreams and the most remarkable actions.Remember: Success is your
duty, obligation, and responsibility, and by thinking at 10X levels and taking
10X actions, I am certain you will create more success than you have even
dreamed of! ''
― Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
