Very similar to previous books of his but good perspective on today’s economy and how to attack it from the business and sales angle. Great for floundering sales men.

Some I liked, some I didn't. With the tagline "Sales Strategies to Dominate Your Market and Beat Your Competition", it's a surprise I read this at all. But, I've enjoyed Cardone's 10X Rule enough to read it twice so I thought I'd give this a go.
In terms of content, it's what was expected—strategies for selling your product, service and business. In the realm of sales strategies, I think it has a lot to offer. However, I really had to dig to find practical applications of it to what I do (illustration and online education) and to get past Grant's VERY salesly persona. What I like about Grant is that he has incredible drive and is very good at passing it on to others in his writing. To me, getting inspired and motivated to tackle aspects of my own work was worth sifting through subject matter that really isn't my thing.
Grant believes that having an extraordinary life comes from taking extraordinary action and that's at the heart of all that he does. It's because of that core ethic that I will likely read The 10X Rule again—not this one though. If you do a high volume of sales in your line of work, I believe these strategies could do a lot of good for you—so I would recommend it. Grant would say that selling is at the heart of every business and to a degree I do agree. However these are the approaches of a 'salesperson' and I find you don't need to be one to sell what you do. So personally, there is a lot here I won't be applying to my work.
If you're not looking for sales strategies like I wasn't, don't read this book. Of course, typing that now sounds pretty obvious.

It is interesting to read this book in 2023 as it was written after 2008 economic troubles. So many similarities.
It's... meh. It discusses strategies to maximize sales, which in a nutshell translates into 10x effort.

Es un libro pequeño pero enriquecedor, tiene una visión clara de la excelencia y su recompensa, buenos tips para el inicio mucho de las ventas sobre todo tener un cambio de chip para afrontar cualquier impedimento, quizá le falte algo de profundidad pero para eso están sus otros títulos de grant cardóne

ehhhh. great gems peppered throughout but the mention of L Ron Hubbard (audiobook) threw me for a loop.
