THE 10X RULE: Personal Summary

 You have to re-educate yourself on

CHAPTER 22 Successful people talk, think, and approach situations, challenges, and problems differently than most people—and they definitely think about money differently.

the notion of this thing called a “challenge”—and know that every challenge provides an opportunity to win.  The more you win in life, the higher your potential will be—and the more you will grow to love challenges.

The only way to be successful is to take the same actions that successful people take.

Duplicate the actions and mind-sets of successful people, and you will create success for yourself.

1. Have a CAN-DO Attitude.  Always maintain that A SOLUTION EXISTS.  Incorporate this kind of “can do” outlook into your language, thoughts, actions, and responses to everyone you know. Drill this into your system on a DAILY BASIS.  MAKE THIS YOUR NORM!

2. Believe That “I Will Figure It Out” 

SOLVE A PROBLEM.

3. FOCUS on the OPPORTUNITY.  Remember: Success is overcoming a challenge.  The bigger the problem is, the bigger the opportunity as well.  The only person who stands out is the opportunity-focused individual who sees those problems as openings for success. 4.

Love Challenges  Take enough action to generate enough winning!  Success begets more success.  Challenges are the experiences that sharpen successful people’s abilities.  To achieve your goals, you have to get to a place where every challenge becomes fuel for you.  Approach new challenges with

gusto and excitement.

5. Seek to Solve Problems  One of the fastest and best ways to separate yourself from the masses is to establish yourself as someone who makes situations better, not worse.

6. Persist until Successful  This isn’t a trait that people do or do not have; it’s something that can—and must—be developed.

 

 It is as though this planet has some kind of force or natural tendency—almost like gravity—that challenges people’s ability to persist. It’s almost like the universe is just trying to find out what you are made of as it continues to confront you. Persistence is a SUCCESS-MULTIPLIER. RE-TRAIN yourself to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!

7. Take Risks!  You must put something into the game in order to get a return.  In the truly big casinos of life and business, do you really take enough risk to create the success you want and need?

 IT’S TIME TO MAKE A BIG SPLASH!  The successful are willing to take gambles—to put it all out there and know, regardless of the outcome, that they can go back and do it again.  “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

8. Be Unreasonable  Go beyond practical realities!  Make the IMPOSSIBLE become POSSIBLE!  Being a 10X-er requires thinking and acting unreasonably. Otherwise, you will end up the same way everyone

else does—forced to survive on successful people’s leftovers.  Man would do nothing EXCEPTIONAL if it were not for the willingness to be unreasonable.

9. Be Dangerous  If you look back over your life, you’ll probably see that you have done yourself just as much—or even more—harm by being “careful” than by being dangerous.  To do something big, you have to embrace danger.  The way to ensure that danger doesn’t kill you is to be sufficiently trained so that you can get into the ring and come out the victor. 10. Create Wealth  Think in terms of creating money and wealth, not salaries and conservation of funds.  Income is taxed; wealth is not. 11.Readily Take Action  The highly successful take

unbelievable amounts of action.  The successful have been consistently 

taking high levels of action—before anyone ever heard their names. Successful people assume that their future achievements rely on investing in actions that may not pay off today but that when taken consistently and persistently over time will sooner or later bear fruit.

11.Always Say “Yes”  

Engage in life and realize that the word “yes” has more life and possibilities in it—and is clearly so much more positive than “no.” The reality is most people don’t venture out and don’t experience enough in life.



Make “YES” part of your successful habits.  It will propel you to new adventures, new solutions, and new levels of

success.  

13. Habitually Commit  The successful fully and consistently

commit to activities—some of which require them to put it all on the line.  To acquire success, it is vital that you quit testing the water’s temperature and

SIMPLY JUMP IN!  Keep your eyes on the OUTCOME or action the entire time.

CHAPTER 23 “Show up, be all in, and trust that creativity follows commitment.” #KEYS TO EXECUTION: 1. “Commit first, figure the rest out later. 2. Do it now, not later. 3. Go in all the way. 4. Be courageous. 5. Do what you fear. 6. Stay focused on the target. 7. Be willing to be uncomfortable.
