The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure by Grant Cardone
3.0
2.5 Stars
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.
