The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure

by Grant Cardone

Lest you think I'm talking about something with which I have no personal experience, I should tell you that I just had my first child. I will admit that although her obsessive nature rears its head at inconvenient times for me, I never want to suppress that. It is my fervent wish that my daughter becomes obsessed with whatever her dreams are, never gives up achieving them, and then spends the rest of her life improving on them! I love the feeling that comes with being obsessed about an idea, and I admire seeing others who are that fanatical. Who isn't moved by the people or groups that go after the things in which they believe with all their heart—who is so consumed by their ideas that they wake up to their dreams each day, work on them all day long, and then go to sleep and dream about them again all night? As soon as other people see the intention, conviction, and commitment in the passionate individual's thoughts, eyes, and movements, they quickly get out of the way. I suggest that you become obsessed about the things you want; otherwise, you are going to spend a lifetime being obsessed with making up excuses as to why you didn't get the life you wanted.
