美國最具影響力暢銷作家葛拉威爾,繼《引爆趨勢》、《決斷2秒間》,
再創話題旋風,本書甫上市即攻占全美最重要媒體書榜第一名!
成功和你想的不一樣!
天賦、家世、學歷、努力還不夠,之所以超群成為「異數」,還牽涉周遭的人和環境。
能不能成為運動明星,要看你幾月出生;數學好不好,要看祖先是不是種稻。
作者引用大量統計科學辯證,大開我們的視野,重新發現「出身」的意義:
誰能成功,多少人能成功,要看我們生活在什麼樣的社會。
想想看,他們的成功背後隱藏了什麼秘密?
加拿大曲棍球代表隊的明星隊伍,40%的球員都是在1月到3月間出生。
披頭四成名前,從1960年到62年,共去了5趟德國漢堡,在一家脫衣舞夜總會,連續開唱270個晚上的搖滾流水席。
1968年,比爾‧蓋茲13歲,他是當時全世界唯一能夠無限使用最先進電腦分時系統的孩子,此後,他連寫了7年的電腦程式。
紐約最頂尖的律師,他們有幾個共同點:早期歐洲移民後代、生於1930年代的猶太人、父母都是成衣工廠的工人。
根據國際測驗的比較研究,日韓港星與台灣學生的數學能力在全球名列前茅,亞洲人天生具有數學優勢,他們的祖先都種稻。
你從未真正看清楚屬於你的成功!
葛拉威爾說:不是最聰明的人就可以成功,正確的決定或努力不懈,也不能保證;
要成功,除了必須有把握「機會」的智慧、善用特有的「文化」遺澤;
必要時,還得脫離部分的身分,擺脫傳統的束縛。

The 10X Rule 豆瓣
作者: Grant Cardone Wiley 2011 - 4
Achieve "Massive Action" results and accomplish your business dreams!
While most people operate with only three degrees of action-no action, retreat, or normal action-if you're after big goals, you don't want to settle for the ordinary. To reach the next level, you must understand the coveted 4th degree of action. This 4th degree, also know as the 10 X Rule, is that level of action that guarantees companies and individuals realize their goals and dreams.
.
The 10X Rule unveils the principle of "Massive Action," allowing you to blast through business clichŽs and risk-aversion while taking concrete steps to reach your dreams. It also demonstrates why people get stuck in the first three actions and how to move into making the 10X Rule a discipline. Find out exactly where to start, what to do, and how to follow up each action you take with more action to achieve Massive Action results.
.
◎Learn the "Estimation of Effort" calculation to ensure you exceed your targets
.
◎Make the Fourth Degree a way of life and defy mediocrity
.
◎Discover the time management myth
.
◎Get the exact reasons why people fail and others succeed
.
◎Know the exact formula to solve problems
.
Extreme success is by definition outside the realm of normal action. Instead of behaving like everybody else and settling for average results, take Massive Action with The 10 X Rule, remove luck and chance from your business equation, and lock in massive success.
.
Extreme success, by definition, lies beyond the realm of normal action. If you want to achieve extreme success, you can't operate like everybody else and settle for mediocrity. You need to remove luck and chance from your business equation, and lock in massive success. The 10X Rule shows you how! Success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility, and this book gives you step-by-step guidance on how to achieve phenomenal success for yourself!
.
With The 10X Rule, you'll learn to establish the amount of effort needed to guarantee success and ensure that you can continue operating at this level throughout your life. Most people desire success and have great ideas but they come up short on the amount of action required to get their lives to the exceptional levels they deserve. Four degrees of action exist, and in order to achieve your dreams, you must learn to operate at the fourth degree of action: Massive Action. The 10X Rule will dissolve fears, increase your belief in yourself, eliminate procrastination, and provide you with an overwhelming sense of purpose. The 10X Rule compels you to separate yourself from everyone else in the market—and you do that by doing what others refuse to do. Stop thinking in terms of basic needs, and start aiming for abundance—in all areas of your life.
.
The 10X Rule guides you toward the frame of mind that all successful people share. Aim ten times higher than you are right now—and if you come up short, you'll still find yourself further along than if you had maintained your life's current status quo. The 10X Rule teaches you how to:
.
◎Reach goals that you previously thought were impossible
.
◎Correctly set goals and guarantee their achievement
.
◎Create unprecedented levels of happiness and satisfaction in every area of your life
.
◎Use fear as fuel to move you into action
.
◎Get everything you want and never have to settle
.
◎Dominate your competition and become a role model for success
.

"In The 10X Rule, entrepreneur Grant Cardone shows how to achieve success no matter your background, genetic make-up, or personal connections.

It's a how-to book on how to gain the moxie, chutzpah, and relentless drive necessary to succeed."
