Under the 10X Rule, set goals 10 times bigger than the average, then work 10 times harder than average to achieve them. It takes extraordinary thinking and effort to achieve extraordinary success. The 10X Rule can be applied to any personal or professional goal, whether it\u2019s having an extraordinary marriage, starting a hugely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-makes-a-business-successful\/\">successful business<\/a>, or making $10 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of coming from external factors (money or connections), success comes from having the right mindset. Cardone argues you need to scale up your thinking and actions by a factor of 10. The 10X Rule or formula for success is: set goals that are 10 times bigger than the average, then work 10 times harder than average to achieve them. Cardone refers to the latter as taking \u201cmassive\u201d action. <strong>It takes extraordinary thinking and effort to achieve extraordinary success.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/10x-goals\/\">10X goals<\/a> and taking extraordinary steps to achieve them isn\u2019t taught in business schools. But anyone who achieves extraordinary success\u2014whether a CEO, philanthropist, entrepreneur, politician, or athlete\u2014follows the 10X rule, whether they realize it or not. What successful athlete hasn\u2019t devoted extraordinary effort to training and practice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 10 Rule can be applied to any personal or professional goal, whether it\u2019s having an extraordinary marriage, starting a hugely successful business, or making $10 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/steps-to-achieve-your-goals\/\">reaching your goals<\/a>, living by the 10X standard provides other benefits, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/a-sense-of-purpose\/\">a sense of purpose<\/a>, increased self-confidence, a way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-overcome-your-fears\/\">overcome fears<\/a> and procrastination, renewed energy, and greater satisfaction.
