by Grant Cardone • Book Summary by FlashBooks
About
Making big promises is what Grant Cardone does. So it comes as no surprise when he tells us that his 10X rule will guarantee success beyond our wildest dreams. But this is not some cheap gimmick or shortcut. The 10X Rule requires you to rethink everything you thought you knew about business and life management.
Cardone is on a mission to help people bust out of the confines of “average” “normal” and “practical”. In order to achieve the massive results he promises, you must be prepared to start taking massive action. This means setting sky-high goals and busting your butt to reach them. It means doing 10 times more than your colleagues and competitors, in order to not only rise above, but set the example for all others to follow. The big ideas from this book will also teach you how to banish fears, excuses and procrastination by showing you how to assume control over all aspects of your life, even the things you imagine are beyond your control. Cardone will show you how to say goodbye to being a victim of circumstance, and say hello to becoming the master of your life.
