Your ability to do well in life depends on your ability to sell others on the things in which you believe!
What if the world encouraged obsession instead of judging it? What if the only thing standing in the way of your greatness was that you just had to go after everything obsessively, persistently, and as though your life depended on it? Well – it does! Would.
Obsession is what you will need to set 10X goals and to follow them up with 10X actions. Remember.
Commit First – Figure Out Later At.
Success must be approached from an ethical viewpoint. Success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility!
Anyone that suggests to me to do less is either not a real friend or very confused!” –.
If you quit caring, then you quit winning; quit winning long enough, and you will just plain quit!
One of the greatest turning points in my life occurred when I stopped casually waiting for success and instead started to approach it as a duty, obligation, and responsibility.
You have to approach the notion of success the way good parents approach their duty to their children; it’s an honor, an obligation, and a priority. Good parents will do whatever it takes to take care of their children.
Unsolicited advice givers are people who know about everything but have never done anything.
When I started studying other obsessive types who were super successful and stopped seeking advice from those who were settling for average lives, average results, average money, average everything and who were never obsessed with anything except defending average, that’s when I began to really live.
It’s a bad idea to ignore your ambitions, your energy, your obsession, but it’s even worse to let them take their own course. They can be like wild horses, running full speed in every direction, wasting energy and resources with lots of effort that produces nothing.
I know “leader” sounds more inspiring and that the business world wants to talk about leadership – but when thing go wrong, I don’t care about leadership; I want control, or at least to know someone is in control. I want answers, I want to solve problems quickly, and know I have the ability to deliver solutions and get the scene back under control.
I believe I know best in everything I do, and if I don’t, I get trained until I have complete confidence and competence in whatever I am doing. Whether it’s making a sales call, handling my four-year-old, or operating a firearm, I want control over all my various skill sets so that I can lead in all the different areas of my life. I don’t need to be the smartest person in the room – I don’t even need to be right – but I do need to be willing to control things.
It takes the same amount of energy to have a great marriage as it does an average one, just as it takes the same amount of energy and effort to make $10 million as it does $10,000.
The 10X Rule is based on understanding how much effort and thought are required to get anything done successfully.
My disappointment or dissatisfaction with where I am at this moment does not suggest that something is wrong with me but rather that something is right with me.
The obsessed are the industry builders, disrupters, titans, game changers, and living legends others admire and wish to emulate. The obsessed don’t just make the world go around. They make the world worth living in.
Criticism is defined as the judgment of the merits and faults of the work or actions of one individual by another. Although “criticizing” does not necessarily mean “to imply fault,” the word is often taken to mean prejudice or disapproval.
There’s a popular saying that you are the composite of the five people you spend the most time with. Look around: If the people you see aren’t screaming success, they are validating average.
If the people around you are giving you advice to slow down or to take it easy – you are surrounded by the wrong people.
