10x Rule

Decided to read the 10x rule by grant Cardone. I dont know much about him except that he's all over the place. I'm not much for self help books and this solidified my stance. Possibly the most worthless book ever written. It's just buzz words and dumbassery. Why do people adore this guy?

Cardone's over the top answers to easy questions is insane

Jordy has the feeling around 2 minutes and could tell w/o a doubt in 5 minutes.

"If you're explaining, you're losing" holds true here. Grant will not shut up.

I downloaded it as an audiobook years ago. Made it about 10 minutes in before I deleted it.

so the first self help book i ever read was this one. I read it a number of years ago.

Most of it was just terrible and not helpful.

but the one thing i still think about was him talking about bigger problems being a good thing. somehting about how as you progress and become more successful your problems will become bigger and thats good.

so, worrying about trying to close a $5K deal is one thing, but having to worry about all the problems that come with a $500K deal are much bigger but thats ok because the result is better.

idk that always stuck with me,

I couldn’t muster the courage to even download this book. All the best and do share your learnings if you decide to read.

He's the worst. And people that adore him have severe character flaws. He does fake "sales calls" on YouTube and people somehow think they are real. It's insane.

Much of it thanks to marketing but I actually liked that the overall message out of it - "work very hard and make that your responsibility"

I am one of his adoring mentees and also a Cardone University student. I agree he is very all over many verticals but he is a sales OG and his lessons are timeless!!!!!

It all comes down to execution. No one can tell you or show you how to do that. You either do. Or you don’t.

That’s the choice. GC is a marketeer. He’s gotten really good at showing his stuff. But. You choose to believe or not.

Zig Ziglar was the TRUE OG. And if yo ideally want to dig deep: try Dale Carnegie. Or Og Mandino.

In all cases it’s either 80/20 or 90/10 Plan, Prepare, Practice and Play (Thanks to Dr. Tom Rotella)

And GC has tried (not sure how well) to show that if you focus on the BS, you lose sight of the game. Go play.

I listened to this book on Audible and I felt like he was just screaming buzz words at me.

I couldn’t agree more that the book and everything in it is a waste of time. Save the money and time. Read something else!!

The guy knows real estate! I love his content on that.
But as far as business and sales advice, I don’t even give much of a chance if it’s from him.

X marks the spot.

Target has been increased by 5x, and the commission against that has been reduced significantly. How do you work with something like this?
