Grant says A LOT in this book, it was good enough to give 4 stars; I especially liked that Cardone was the narrator . I do think it’s geared way way more toward “white collar” than “blue collar” so hopefully a few nuggets stick with me.
BTW anyone know if that big TV show he was talking about in the end ever came out? Not Undercover Billionaire

DNF in chapter 17. Most of this book didn’t resonate with me, but he lost me with the sleep is wasting time, and we don’t spend a lot of time working. We just think we do. We spend 1/3 of a day at work and around 1/3 sleeping for obvious reasons, leaving around 8hrs to get anything done. Less if you factor in commuting to the job, those that work over 8hrs, having a kid at home, etc.
Maybe the motivational/self-help genre just isn’t for me. Almost every book I’ve read appears as someone getting rich by spewing unrealistic nonsense or telling you something obvious. I get more from books like Shonda Rhime’s “Year of Yes.”

I think the author makes it apparent into the first 20 pages of his book what the 10X Rule is —-set goals that are 10X what you dreamed and attack them with a 10X attitude as well. Between the first 30 pages and the last 30 pages is endless drivel about why this rule applies not just in the sales industry but in all facets of Life. Which I get. But I found myself scratching my head at the examples he would use, if any, to support such claims. I don’t want to completely criticize this work because for a man worth $300 million and on the NY Best Seller’s list, there’s probably a load of truth to what he’s talking about. But like his business, he treats the idea of the 10X Rule like a product to sell to you w/o really convincing you of the practicality of it in everyday. The last chapter attempts to provide his real life experience of that but...still left me hanging a bit.
I actually agree with this rule, and because there were a lot of nuggets of wisdom sprinkled in this book deserves at least two stars—-but the “exercises” and practical talk at the end miss the mark.
