- These should be an indication that you're getting off track -- that you should begin thinking in terms of correcting your initial estimation of effort.
Fill in the following. The 10X Rule assumes the target is never Problem . Any target attacked with in the right actions in the right amounts with persistence is attainable.
Approach every situation with an "in it to win it whatever it takes" mindset - that is the outlook required to win nowadays.

The only way to increase time is to get more done in the time you have
To really understand, manage, maximize, and squeeze every opportunity out of the time you have, you have to fully understand and appreciate how much of it you have available to you.
Most people only work enough so that it feels like work, whereas successful people work at a pace that gets such satisfying results that work is a reward.
How much time you are at work each day?
An easy way to achieve balance is to simply work harder while you are at the office. This won't just leave you with more time; it will allow you to experience the rewards of your job and make it feel less like work and more like success.
Be grateful to go to work, and see how much you can get done in the time you have. Make it a race, a challenge-make it fun.
The busier you become, the more you have to manage, control, and prioritize. If you start with a commitment to success and then agree to control time, you will create an agenda that accommodates all you want.

When you start taking the right amount of action and therefore creating success, criticism s often not far behind

- I like the criticism that come from my 10X rule of action and making massive progress to become successful rather than criticism from not doing anything the best for my contribution in family, relation etc.
Give three examples of when you have seen people go from criticizing others to admiring them.

19. Customer satisfaction is the wrong target

When you fail to find supporters, establish customers, secure investors, and close the deal because you fail to do whatever it takes to get the job done and then you hide under the excuse of protecting brand and customer satisfaction, you'd just as soon have a shovel in your hand and dig your own grave.
Customer service is the wrong target, increasing customers is the right target. This doesn’t mean customer satisfaction isn't important.
The attainment of customer is paramount to customer satisfaction, and customer satisfaction cannot exist without a customer. And the attainment of the customer is the most important thing.
Brands that truly deliver customer satisfaction don’t talk about customer service; they focus on customer acquisition. Emerging organizations first need people to know about them, then do everything they can to make them happy. Remember, customer satisfaction cannot exist without a customer first.
The proper order of objectives:
- Acquire customer (via an amazing product or service that you've worked on at 10X levels to create)
- Impress them with how great you are during the acquisition process
- Establish customer loyalty (through repeat purchases, support, word-of-mouth marketing. Etc.)
Have you ever been surveyed by a company that you didn’t buy from?
- I have no idea.
What is more important than customer satisfaction?
- Customer acquisition
- 10X rule of action to develop good product and service to acquire more customer.
Why do most businesses fail?
- Companies fail not because they offend customers but because they don’t take enough action to make these individuals customers in the first place.
What might be some survey questions you could use when you don't acquire a customer?
- How long you were here?
- Did you meet a manager?
- Were you shown optional products?
- Were you presented with proposal?
- Did anyone offer to bring the product to your home/office?

20. Omnipresence

What does is omnipresent?
- The word omnipresence conveys the concept of being everywhere-in all place, at all times.
Your name is your most important asset. [people] can take everything away from you--but they can't take your name.
What steps do you need to take to become omnipresent?
- Massive action in progress your success to get people to know you, which means that you have to get attention. The more attention you get, the more places you will be; the more people you are with, the more you can be anywhere. And all of this will improve your chances of using your good name to do good work.
- The higher your purpose, the more fuel it will provide for your 10X actions. This is what it takes to rocket to omnipresence. People of fame and influence achieve this status because they are compelled to fulfill their purpose by writing books, doing interviews, blogging, writing articles, accepting speaking engagements, and saying yes constantly to get attention for themselves, their companies, and their projects. These are the results of thinking big. This isn’t a grind; this is passion.
What is the upside of taking so much action that the marketplace makes you name synonymous with what it is you represent?
What is the best way to get revenge against your critics?
- The best revenge is massive success

21. Excuse

What is the difference between an excuse and a reason?
- Excuses are never the reason for why you did or didn’t do something. They just a revision of the facts that you make up in order to help yourself feel better about what happened (or didn’t)
Excuse are for people who refuse to take responsibility for their life and how it turns out. And excuse will never improve your situation.
Engaging in self-pity and excuse making are signs that someone has an extremely minimal degree of responsibility.
Once you adopt a more advanced sense of responsibility--and refuse to make any more excuse-- then you can go out and search for a solution
What are the two things you know about excuse?
- Excuse is a sign that you don’t take full responsibility and accountability.
- Excuse will never make the condition better, you have to stop making excuse and start making massive action to attain success.
What excuse have you been using?
- Blame my supervisor for my difficult thesis.

There are only two times that exist for successful people. You want to focus to some degree on how but keep most of your attention on the future your desire to create.
Act now and then keep acting with the knowledge that enough actions taken now will create the future.
Start with first thing first; make your list of goals, then a list of actions that will propel you in that direction. Then-without over-thinking it-start taking those actions.
A few things to keep in mind as you start:
- Don’t reduce your goals as you write them.
- Don’t get lost in the details of how to accomplish them at this point.
- Ask yourself, "what actions can I take today to move me toward these goals?"
- Take whatever actions you come up with - regardless of what they are or how you feel.
- Don’t prematurely value the outcome of your action.
- Go back each day and review the list
Training and learning are absolutely critical to your follow-through and the development of courage, persistence, unreasonable thinking, and especially discipline.
