 Hey guys in this video I wanted to share with you some of my biggest epiphanies just off the cuff just ranting about the biggest things that I learned from reading the 10x rule by Grant Cardone about four years ago now since reading that book I Read it again and again and again and again and again I think I read it maybe ten times by now and also soaked up the knowledge from Grant Cardone in various other formats other books programs online programs just tons of stuff videos and I wanted to share some of the things that I learned the things that changed in my life since reading the 10x rule so obviously the first thing is the whole idea of 10x think and 10x actions so This this simple rule this is basically the 10x rule It's just ten times the think and ten times the action what it basically means is let's say that my goal for this year Was to make a hundred thousand dollars So all the the 10x rule means all it all it does basically is add an extra Zero add like ten times what do you think you wanted and go for that and the 10x actions Meaning that you take the thing you say, okay, what do you have to do to get to those million now? You multiplied your goal by 10 what I have to do to get to that million and then you basically Break it down into action. So let's say I have to make this many sales calls Per day and now what you do is you multiply your expectation of how much effort it's gonna take by 10 So instead of x it's gonna take 10x now what that probably means is you're gonna have to go and hire people Because you're gonna have to scale your thinking and this is something that I really struggled with This is something that I really really really had a problem with because I would think I would do the 10x Think and I would multiply my goals by 10 and then I would say okay Let's break it down and see what actually takes and I would break down the the actual effort that would require And I would see that I would end up having to make like 250 calls per day or something and and that just It's not it's not gonna happen like it's just it's not gonna happen but It always stopped me and it always stopped me because I thought how will I do it? Like how am I gonna make 250 calls a day and I was always very Unwilling to spend money to actually grow now that thinking actually changed this here And that's why I started multiplying my income finally in big big numbers Because I completely let go of the thinking that I have to do this Just me by myself What I started realizing was if you set the correct parameters if you actually Break down how much effort your goal is going to take into the right amount of action and then multiply that by 10 and You realize it's gonna take 250 phone calls. What you're gonna want to do is get five people To do 50 calls Per day in that way Now you're gonna hit that target, but you multiplied time So the first thing that I learned the big big big epiphany that I had this year about the 10x rule Was the you need to actually scale and Grant Cardone says it in the book He says, you know, if you're gonna take 10 times as many sales calls It might even take it might take 10 times the people and if you have 10 times the people You might need somebody to manage those 10 times more people so the whole idea of the 10x rule is to think 10 times bigger and Grow it's a growing mentality. It's very aggressive. It's not for everybody But it is for me And so when I started actually leveraging people when I started leveraging my time and using the 10x rule in that way Everything started changing suddenly things start happening very very quickly and growth Started to become a very real part of my life So what I want you to do is to start thinking in leverage How do I actually leverage people to get stuff done the other big epiphany that I discussed a bit in an earlier video Video that I made this week is the idea that if you have a certain target now, let's say your target again is making a million dollars This month or this year and you're right now. You're only at 300 thousand Dollars and you're basically a half of the year already So you're only at about a third of the destination But you got to get all the way up here So what most people would do is again, this is something he discusses in the 10x rule Which I link below by the way if you want to buy it Then what they do is they lower the target So they say oh the target was not realistic I was aiming too high or you know Targets are not even that important and then they lower the target to something more reasonable like let's say 500,000 that would allow me to still get to the destination without changing my activity level too much But the correct the one you do that you basically make a very clear statement that goals are not important in your organization and That they don't really matter and that you can lower the target to appease people who are not productive So what do you want to do instead is to make your activity? Higher so let's say You're stuck here, but you've only been doing one email per day and ten sales calls per day Now you want to do 30 sales calls per day and five emails per day So you basically want to multiply your activity now just because you multiply your activity two times by five or by ten Doesn't mean that it's going to grow by five or ten if you multiply your activity by ten times You're probably going to get four times the actual results But it's still four times so if you are see a destination that you set and you made the mistake of sending a Destination that is way above what you can actually accomplish Do not lower your target just to appease people or yourself But actually make the activity bigger until you end up hitting that target So those are basically the two biggest things that I learned This year from the 10x rule and the year, you know, we're just in the first quarter at this point The first one is leverage use people if you get stuck if you don't use leverage You're basically gonna get stuck with the 10x rule because you're not gonna be able to grow because you want to do everything on your own It's not gonna work and the second thing is always hit your targets and always increase activity to hit your targets Never lower the actual target and as I said in the beginning of the video I am affiliated with Grant Cardone because I've been following him for so many years and had my life Impacted so much.
