Success mean different for each individual. If one persons success is to be able to raise children who are morally and mentally strong, success for another person can be to have as much money that he/she never have to think about counting when spending. For some people success is to reach a certain level in an organization and for other success is to have comfortable life without stress. Success is something that is in our heads and we can make it bigger and smaller it is in our control.

Grant Cardone says in his book The 10x Rule that when working towards our goal, we underestimate amount of effort needed and that is why we are unable to achieve the goal we have set. Set the goal 10 times bigger than you initially want to achieve and multiply the effort by 10 the effort you thought was needed to achieve initial goal. All the setbacks we face are mainly due to not taking enough actions. Die hard level commitment and passion is needed to be able to action at 10x amount.

Limiting the amount of success is violation to 10X rule, as when people start limiting the amount of success they desire, they limit what is required of them to achieve that success, which leads to failure. So Cardone says to have domination mentality and do what other won’t do or what others think is unreasonable.

Goal + Effort = 50% chances of success

10x Goal + 10x Effort = 99% chances of Success
