Publisher's summary

Extreme success, by definition, lies beyond the realm of normal action. If you want to achieve extreme success, you can’t operate like everybody else and settle for mediocrity. You need to remove luck and chance from your business equation, and lock in massive success. The 10X Rule shows you how! Success is your duty, obligation and responsibility, and this audio book gives you step-by-step guidance on how to achieve phenomenal success for yourself!

With The 10X Rule , you’ll learn to establish the amount of effort needed to guarantee success and ensure that you can continue operating at this level throughout your life. Most people desire success and have great ideas but they come up short on the amount of action required to get their lives to the exceptional levels they deserve. Four degrees of action exist, and in order to achieve your dreams, you must learn to operate at the fourth degree of action: Massive Action. The 10X Rule will dissolve fear, increase your belief in yourself, eliminate procrastination, and provide you with an overwhelming sense of purpose. The 10X Rule compels you to separate yourself from everyone else in the market—and you do that by doing what others refuse to do. Stop thinking in terms of basic needs, and start aiming for abundance—in all areas of your life. The 10X Rule guides you toward the frame of mind that all successful people share. Aim ten times higher than you are right now—and if you come up short, you’ll still find yourself further along than if you had maintained your life’s current status quo. The 10X Rule teaches you how to:

  • Reach goals that you previously thought were impossible
  • Correctly set goals and guarantee their achievement
  • Create unprecedented levels of happiness and satisfaction in every area of your life
  • Use fear as fuel to move you into action
  • Get everything you want and never have to settle
  • Dominate your competition and become a role model for success

Just read - Already seeing results!

Grant is awesome! While listening to the book, my activity level and mindset at work has been reaching 10X levels which has increased my total monthly sales volume, my close rate and total value per sale. I have better relationships with my coworkers and am no longer overwhelmed by all the 'stuff' I need to get done at work bc it's getting done instead of piling up. I've also been more balanced in other aspects of my life bc of Grant's encouragement to 10X ALL areas of your life instead of just work. Loved the book and would recommend it to anyone!

Great Read

I have been a fan of Grant Cardone for a few years and this book is a great read! I totally agree from my experience as a designer that obscurity is everyone's biggest problem in today's world. Grant has great theory and concepts in this book, I highly recommend!

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!

I saw some people complaining that the book doesn't go over new information. I always think that is the most PREPOSTEROUS statement applied to PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT books.

SPOILER ALERT------->> THERE ARE NOT ANY NEW AND AMAZING INSIGHTS OUT THERE!!

They have been covered for centuries REPEATEDLY!

Everyone is saying the same thing in SLIGHTLY different ways!!

HARDWORK, DEDICATION, CONSISTENCY, and DISCIPLINE are the KEYS to SUCCESS PERIOD.

There is not going to be a MAGIC book that gives you some alternative to this.

That being said I enjoyed this author's frankness. I also LIKE his spin on the CONCEPT of GOAL SETTING. Those that say he's just saying outwork everyone else alone are totally missing the point.

He is SAYING take the LIMITS off yourself and set goals that require your LEVEL of ACTION and EFFORT to cause you to stretch and grow.

I listen to and read a lot of personal development so NO the things he said were not new to me but they spoke to me in a WAY that the others saying it didn't.

I believe ANYONE who is looking to make PUSH goals and WORK to REACH them should put this book on CONSTANT replay.

Decent, not great

The book is interesting and the author/narrator is extremely entertaining. The book is essentially a good pep talk, though not very educational. I'm not going to recommend it, but i definitely do not regret listening to it.

Really enjoyed this content!

If you could sum up The TenX Rule in three words, what would they be?

Motivational, inspirational and entertaining.

What did you like best about this story?

It got me moving!

What does Grant Cardone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really liked Grant's enthusiasm and no b.s. delivery.

What did you learn from The TenX Rule that you would use in your daily life?

I've long believed that hard work trumps talent any day and twice on Sundays. The book helped me to move beyond thinking and into action.

Any additional comments?

I read and listen to 20-30 books a year. I've come to classify them as "tactical" and "strategic". Tactical books are the how to's with bullet points and a large amount of content. Strategic books are more high-level with motivation and inspiration as it's goal. 10X is definitely a "strategic" book. If you are expecting a large amount of How To's, move on. If you are expecting to be inspired to get off your duff and take action, then buy the book. I recommend it highly and have gotten the inspiration I needed to push myself beyond my currently level of success to greater heights!!

Good book for people marketing themselves

I wish there were more personal stories than hypothetical situations. Compared to Anthony robbins books , Cordone is close but needs more facts to make this a stellar book. Yes he's sold a lot of books but these are not the best marketing books I've ever read. Overall I thought it was worth my time to listen.

Pure inspiration

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Had never listened to Mr. Cardone before this. He is an amazing speaker. He delivers his own words with force and credibility. This is s a special book. I disagree with the critics who claim this work is somehow derivative. Any book about wisdom will not be able to reinvent the wheel. But Mr. Cardone does not offer cliches. He offers a choice between a life of meaning and a life of confusion.

Actions speak louder than words!

Cardone's 10X actions is a game changer where anyone with any skills can achieve their dreams and goals as long as they undertake massive actions. The message gets delivered and loved his narration.
