I've listened to Grant Cardone for years. A friend referred me to a book of his and it's life changing in many ways.
The book was, "The 10x Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure." Check it out HERE.
Simply put, it's about increasing effort 10 fold. I wanted to write about it, because Charles Fuchs, joined Steemit in late May 2017 and has proceeded to blow the lid off the status quo and he's done it by using the 10x rule.
In just over a month, Charles is approaching 5000 posts, and has gained 2272 followers. He also started Steemit Allstars and made a Facebook group for like minded people so we can offer support to each other. Check Charles out on Facebook HERE.
The difference between success and failure is working your butt off and looking for ways to add value and improve whatever business you decide to jump in to. Study Charles, then go out there and comment, upvote and engage with the community, and most of all, add value to everyone around you. That's how we develop this amazing platform. Steemit will rise or fall based on what we choose to do today.
Take what you're currently doing and turn it up to 10x the output. You might be surprised at how things start to change and work in your favor. Thanks for providing a good example, Charles!
Charles plans to keep the Facebook group I mentioned small, but there is still time to join. Check Charles out and look for his next invite.
I bet I would be a lot more successful here if I did 10X as much as I currently do, but there's no way I can find the time to manage that!
Definitely a valid point. I like the advice rulesforrebels provided below. I also understand that even with perfecting your time and schedule there may not be any more time for you to commit here. I was speaking to people like me who should evaluate how much time they are spending here according to the goals they want to accomplish. They might find they need to rearrange some things and focus more on building here. I have more time I can use to develop the community around and I intend on doing it. Thanks for the comment.
Think about the 80/20 rule. Are there any things you spend a lot of time on but don't really yield much results?
You may also be able to find ways to automate some things you do. Not sure what you do or what your tasks are but either outsourcing, automation softwares or browser addons, etc.
Great suggestions. That 80/20 rule is sometimes difficult for me. I put my head down and become a task master when I should evaluate more. Thanks for the comment!
Yeah its something I'm looking hard at right now as well
You the man @iamron ... I got some new creative stuff coming up for the Group... also, @grantcardone is a beast :) Upvoted and Resteemed!
Thanks brotha. And I'm not just blowing smoke. Really impressed with how you've up'd the game. Inspiring.
I can't wait 😁
Completely agree with @rulesforrebels. Tim Ferriss and his book the 4 hour work week is solely based around this concept, I highly recommend it.
I'll definitely be checking out Grant Cardone, thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the comment Simon. I love Tim Ferris' work. Have you check out tools for titans yet? It's a culmination of interviews he's done from his podcast. Pretty amazing book.
Charles has done an amazing job here and he brings great energy to Steemit. I joined in May as well and have been so impressed with what he's created here, watching him makes you feel like you're left in the dust lol. It's inspiring watching and following his lead.
Have read Grant Cardone's 10x Rule and it's fantastic! Thanks for a great post, upvoted and following you for more. Hope you're having a great day!!
Thanks, Judy! So kind of you. I've followed you right back. :) Look forward to reading more of your posts. Have a great day!
Thanks so much! Looking forward to seeing more of your posts and your novel soon!!
Hope you're having an awesome day :)
You are so kind! 💖💖💖
Thanks, it's a pleasure watching you bring the magic here!!
Pure positive energy at it's best :)
This is badass! Thank you for sharing :) @iamron
Thanks, Hannah. Love your work so far. Gave you a follow. Thanks for the comment!
Man! He's been chugging away on this platform in just 2 months! I'm working on trying to post/comment 3x a time.
But, looks like I need to 10X that to get to up there with big Chuck!
Thanks for sharing @iamron
it's crazy, joe. Charles is putting in major work. lol
yeah I like Grant Cardone. If you like him you your probably familiar with some of these guys but if not checkout Art Williams, Les Brown, Jim Rohn, MJ Demarco, and Tim Ferris
Never heard of Art Williams. I will check him out. Tim Ferris is awesome. I love a lot of the experiments and interviews he does. I'm a huge fan of Tony Robbins. I attended a seminar of his, walked on fire and had an amazing time. Thanks for the suggestions! and Comment!
I havn't delved a ton into Art Williams stuff but this particular speech is one of my favorites. Definately worth a listen
I will check it out tonight. Thanks for posting!
@iamron great post also a GC fan love his ruthless never giving up motivation at its best followed up voted and resteemed
I really appreciate the comment, up vote and resteem. GC is really awesome. I truly appreciate his perspective on things. Never Quit!
Great post brother. I agree 100%. It's just that simple. Most people are always trying to look for excuses, whereas the 1% are looking for ways to improve. And nothing compares to pure will power and hard work. I actually cover a lot of this in my posts. I am completely pro to this concept. Keep the content flowing. You will soon be up there! I will give you a follow :)
Thanks for the follow and encouragement. I agree, people block their blessings with negativity. Can't wait to read your stuff. giving you a follow back! Have a great day!
Thanks bud! I appreciate that. I try to put as much value as possible into my content so if you find it, and enjoy it, let me know :) Let's do this!
Thanks @iamron for interesting post. I didn't know about @stackin until I read your post. Now following him and you and looking forward to reading great stuff from you both.
Thanks so much for the follow. Following back. @stackin is a great example of putting in work and doing it intelligently. Read through his posts too, he has a good article about how he approached steemit when he first got here. Cheers.
Thanks for a great reminder!
I sometimes tend to fall into that dip pit of "status quo"...
And am afraid of change...
(thinking that everything is OK is as it is)...
But, really, that's the ostrich "stick your head in the sand" mentality...
Cause, honestly, that's not what we are about!
Is it fear of change, or is it excitement of what's to come in the future?
And try as we might, nothing ever "stays the same"...
Thanks for that great reminder!
Thanks for the great comment. We all need the reminder from time to time. :)
I was always wondered wa\hat the 10x rule I've been hearing about was I just haven't looked into it yet. I prefer GaryVee to Grant though.
big fan of Gary v
Awesome post. Keep up the good work. Great examples, Grant Cardone The 10x Rule and Charles Fuchs definitely putting in some work!
