What is the 10x rule?Today we will try to find the answers to these questions from a famous book, “The 10x Rule” and discuss the 5 best rules for success in life.
The book was written by Grant Cardone. Let’s start! Whatever I do in life fails. I can’t find my mistakes. But why do I fail?
Idea Number 1: 4th Degree Action
Why doesn’t failure leave me? If you are also busy looking for answers to such questions, then today’s discussion is for you. Keep reading our discussion until the end.
The author believes that our tendency to take action can be divided into 4 degrees.
The first is: 1st Degree Action: Do Nothing
People who do not try to change their lives but blame fate, blame others, are considered in the first stage. These types of people are considered in the first stage.
2nd Degree Action: Avoiding
For example, we read an educational article, read a good book, or watched an educational video. But we didn’t take any action to implement them.
These types of people are considered in the second stage. Not from today. We will start tomorrow. Their days go by just thinking about this.
3rd Degree Action: Normal Action
For example: we read a good article or book and then implement it for a few days. Then we returned to normal life again. These types of people are considered in the third step.
4th Degree Action: Massive Action
For example: we read an educational book or article. We liked one thing about it. Then we researched or studied that one thing more thoroughly. Then we started implementing it.
We kept doing it until it became a habit. These types of people are considered in the fourth stage. This is basically the key to success.
The author believes that there are 3 steps to this 4th degree action. 1. Massive action 2. Discipline 3. Persistence.
If you follow these 3 steps for any work, you will not be able to stop yourself from being successful. But to achieve the fourth level of action, you must multiply the current action by 10.
And that 10 times action level has to be made your goal. Now let’s learn about the second idea.
Idea Number 2: 10x Goals
The author says, if you have a goal, is it equal to your potential? He also believes that we don’t know how much power we have.
So, the author thinks that we should multiply our current potential by 10 and set goals. Many times we want to achieve goals that don’t challenge us. These are boring goals.
So, first, you have to set a big goal for 1 year and multiply your potential by 10. Then you have to calculate how far you have to achieve the goal every month.
Then, finally, you have to calculate how much you have to achieve the goal every day.
Idea Number 3: Smokey Creature
We all know, slow and steady wins the race. At the beginning of the race, the rabbit starts running fast, but in the middle, it falls asleep.
And the tortoise wins the race by walking slowly. But if there was another animal there, which would have a good start and be consistent all the way, then it would win the race before the rabbit and the tortoise.
The author has named this animal a smokey creature. That is, according to him, this animal is dedicated, persistent and extraordinary.
So, it is very difficult to defeat this animal. So, in the race of life, we can’t be a rabbit. Because it was very interesting at the beginning. But lost interest in the middle.
Again, it won’t work to be a tortoise, because it is considered in the average category. In the current competitive age, goals cannot be achieved if you are in the average category.
So, you have to be smokey. It’s not very difficult to be. You can also become a smokey creature if you properly follow the 3 rules of exercise, nutrition, and rest.
Idea Number 4: Starve Your Fears
When you are afraid of something, what makes your fear grow? The author believes that the biggest reason for fear is time. The more time fear is given, the more terrifying it becomes for us.
Let’s give a realistic example. Suppose you want to learn to ride a bike. But fear works inside you. “If I have an accident, if I injure ordinary people, what will happen if I break my arms and legs in an accident?”
But today you are afraid to learn to ride a bike. The more days pass, the more this fear will overwhelm you. Because of fear, its favorite food gets more time, the more terrifying it becomes.
So this fear will make you even weaker day by day. Anxiety will increase.More Time = More Fear. That is, the less time we can reduce, the less fear will come.
And the only way to overcome this fear is to face your fear. The author believes that it is not bad for us to be afraid. Rather, it signals us that now is the right time to use our potential and climb to the top of success.
You know, greatness stands the opposite of fear!
Idea Number 5: Be Obsessed
To win in the current high competition era, you have to be extraordinary and be obsessed. If you research the success stories of any successful person, you will see how engrossed they were in their work.
They had no attention to other worlds. Their meditation, knowledge, and practice were all on that desired success.
When you see how successful people work, a lazy person, or someone considered average, will say, “This person is really crazy!” But being obsessed is not a disease; it’s a gift.
Do you know when a fire ignites? Fire doesn’t ignite at 450° Fahrenheit. The fire ignites at 451° Fahrenheit. This happens because of a difference of only 1° Fahrenheit.
And to reach this 451° Fahrenheit, you will need focus, obsession, and massive action. Otherwise, you might get distracted from your goal at 450° Fahrenheit.
So, be obsessed if you want to burn yourself with top success!
