What I didn’t spend time learning was myself. I learned about business processes, strategies, ethics, and employee issues. After the 10X Rule, I spent a lot of time reading business books.
It took me awhile to get around to Start with Why. I certainly lost momentum at times, but I was never the same again. It launched me into personal development obsession and my business in entirely new directions. Each time, I came away with new information and motivation. I listened to this book three times in a row.
The 10X Rule started my internal search for the drive and determination that I needed to begin taking my life from “just a bit better than average” to “the sky’s the limit!” I wasn’t reaching up, I was looking around and vindicating myself based on false ideals and a victim mentality. I was comparing myself to others that weren’t successful at all. I was comparing my efforts to the efforts of others. This book showed me that I wasn’t doing enough. I listened to it as I did yard work and found myself finding more and more work to do as I listened. I first downloaded the 10X Rule audiobook in the fall of 2014. I don’t know him personally but for a few months, as I listened to the 10X Rule, he was my best friend. Here are my top five personal development books in order of my importance: The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone When I had no good peer examples to show me the correct way, I found these authors and their books to give me the guidance and perspective I needed to change for the better. In my own experience, I have five books that I point to as key influences in my life. Associating with these successful people further encouraged me to grow my library and has exposed me to books I would not have otherwise found. As I come in contact with more and more successful business-people, I find one of the most common traits is their propensity to read books. Since then, my appetite for reading has grown. Over time, I began to take his advice and read them. The person that owned the program frequently recommended books that he felt applied to the lesson he was giving. And, most important, I was unhappy.ĭesperate for a change, I joined a coaching program for my business. My business wasn’t progressing as I would have liked. I didn’t get into reading personal development books, or any books for that matter until I turned about thirty-five years old. In fact, it’s probably one of my biggest regrets. I credit reading with a significant portion of my personal growth over the past few years.
