How do you set these 10x goals and what do they mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The 10X Rule<\/em> is all about reaching greater success with greater effort, but you need to also set ambitious targets. That&#8217;s where 10X goals come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to understand how to set 10X goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Set 10X Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People often set goals they never get started on or soon quit on. While it may seem counterintuitive, <strong>the major reason for failure is that they don\u2019t set their goals high enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of following their dreams with extraordinary goals, they set average goals based on what others think is possible. Others encourage us to be realistic and avoid setting goals that are too high, so we limit ourselves to doing what others do\u2014for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/is-going-to-college-worth-it\/\">going to college<\/a>, practicing the religion and speaking only the language we grew up with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a recipe for failure because these goals aren\u2019t motivating, so you don\u2019t reach for them or achieve them. You can&#8217;t get excited about working toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/set-realistic-goals\/\">realistic goals<\/a> with an average payoff. So you put in average effort, if any. If you encounter obstacles, you quit because your goals aren\u2019t worth the additional effort of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-overcome-obstacles\/\">overcoming obstacles<\/a>. <strong>10X goals need to be big to inspire you and hold your attention.<\/strong> However, many people\u2019s goals are so unremarkable that they write them down only once a year and then forget them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re inclined to follow someone else\u2019s lead, base your goals on exceeding those of successful people. Better yet, set your own big, unrealistic 10X goals. Start by reminding yourself of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You\u2019ve been trained to think in terms of limits.<\/li><li>You\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-set-goals-for-yourself-2\/\">setting goals for yourself<\/a>, not others.<\/li><li>You have more potential than you think.<\/li><li>You have a duty to be successful.<\/li><li>There are no limits on how much success you can achieve.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 10X Rule is for those who aren\u2019t satisfied with average and who are determined to create an exceptional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Write Your 10X Goals Daily<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since your daily actions determine the course of your life, do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/write-down-your-goals\/\">Write down your goals<\/a> two times every day to fix them in your mind. Make it the first thing you do each morning and last thing you do at night, every day until you achieve them. Also, revise them during the day as you think of ways to improve them.<\/li><li>Choose goals just beyond your reach, which will motivate you. If your goals are so small that you aren\u2019t compelled to think about them daily, you\u2019ll lose interest.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Write<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Set goals that encourage or require you to live up to your potential. Approach goal setting with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/10x-thinking\/\">10X mindset<\/a> (big goals, followed by big action equals big success). Remember, the bigger the goal, the more motivated you\u2019ll be to overcome resistance. Further, only big goals generate so much success that they can\u2019t be scuttled by unexpected problems, such as financial or health emergencies.<\/li><li>Word your goals as though you\u2019ve already accomplished them. Here are examples of Cardone\u2019s 10X goals:<ul><li>I\u2019m in great physical shape.<\/li><li>I have a net worth of $100 million.<\/li><li>My income is over $1 million a month.<\/li><li>I own a home with no debt.<\/li><li>I create unique programs that improve people\u2019s lives.<\/li><li>I have a top-rated TV show.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/goal-alignment\/\">Align your goals<\/a> with a larger purpose to generate additional motivation and energy. To do this, you must be clear about the reason for each goal. For example, if your goal is to save $100 million, include what you want to do with the money, such as financing a dream like post-graduate education, buying a ranch, or helping your community.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/actions-to-achieve-goals\/\">Align your actions with your goals<\/a> and purposes. When you need to be taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/massive-action\/\">10X action<\/a> to achieve 10X goals, don\u2019t spend your time doing unrelated things. For example, when Cardone worked at McDonald\u2019s as a young man, he hated the work because it wasn\u2019t helping him achieve any significant goal (he didn\u2019t know what his goals were). But a coworker loved the job because it aligned with his goal\u2014he wanted to learn the business and open his own franchises, which he eventually did.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The bigger (and further from average) your goals are\u2014and the better they\u2019re aligned with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-life-purpose\/\">your purpose<\/a> and duty\u2014the more they\u2019ll energize you and drive your actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reject \u2018Realistic\u2019 Goals<\/strong> and Pursue Extraordinary Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people set average goals based on what others think is possible. Others encourage us to be realistic and avoid setting goals that are too high, so we limit ourselves to doing what others do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What are your current goals? How was your choice of goals affected by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-you-were-raised\/\">your upbringing<\/a> or by those around you?<\/li><li>Which of your goals would be considered average or \u2018realistic\u2019 by most people? How can you reframe them as (10X) goals?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What goal could you align with a purpose to motivate you to achieve it?<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are extraordinary goals?
