Summary of the 10x rule5/28/2023 That’s why highly successful people often say work doesn’t feel like work. On the other hand, a large goal can be very inspiring, especially when it feels personally meaningful to us.īold, audacious goals get our heart pumping which helps us maintain enthusiasm for our projects over the long term. It’s hard to stay motivated and work hard towards average goals. So we learn to limit our desires to what is “realistic.” Cardone says this is a huge mistake because… We are told that it’s not good or somehow immoral to become very successful. In our society, we’re often taught to make our goals smaller and more achievable to avoid disappointment. Massive thoughts must be followed by massive actions. This is the focus of the 10x Rule: You must set targets that are 10 times what you think you want and then do 10 times what you think it will take to accomplish those targets. That’s why he now teaches his students “The 10X Rule”: In fact, his biggest regret in life is not setting much larger goals from the very beginning. He says this may be the biggest reason he became rich. Grant Cardone writes down his goals every single day.

The way that ended, it cannot be left like that. I thought we'd all go out with a bang, and that I'd have to say goodbye to Ruby and Darius and Princess Priti. Quite simply put, I'M GOING TO NEED A THIRD BOOK LIKE YESTERDAY. This review is based upon a complimentary copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I hope there is a third, because I have seen the potential of the story and the author’s talent, and it would be a shame for it to end this way. If you read and enjoyed “H2O”, then I do recommend you read “The Storm” to find out how it all ends, but be prepared for some frustration. Additionally, there was another case of “Emotional Blackmail” present, bringing in something that was wedged into the plot just to force an emotional reaction from the reader. The ending was rushed and felt like it should have been an entirely separate book. The story was enjoyable, but seemed to skip around, with the most important parts cut short. Unfortunately, the rest of it seemed to lack cohesion. Many of the other eclectic characters also make reappearances, with their stories further expanded upon. Ruby is the same as she was in “H2O”, complete with microscopic steps toward personal growth. “The Storm” is the sequel to “H2O”, the apocalyptic novel about killer rain.
