<div class="bbWrapper">Grant cardone&#039;s 10X Rule. Basically stating rules aren&#039;t real and to just add zeros to whatever income you think you can obtain. I like him. He can come across as a tool at times but is a very good leader and actually lives it.</div>

Nice compilation of cliff notes from other 5 star reads (Millionaire Fastlane, Miracle Morning, etc.) Before I made the connection that he was from this forum/on this forum I said this guy has to have been influenced by MJ DeMarco. I could just tell right away. And then I saw it... He quoted MJ in the book.<br /> <br /> Overall, I liked the part about your mental, physical and emotional energy the best. I felt it was a lot of other authors thoughts concisely (re)packaged and reiterated with a nice bow for a new (younger) reader.<br /> <br /> No shade though Peter. Cheers to your success and I def think your book can help a younger, aspiring entrepreneur most, and I believe thats who your book is targeted to, so good job! </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> What was Peter Voogd&#039;s screen name here?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper"><i>10x Rule</i> by Grant Cardone<br /> <br /> I think there&#039;s a huge cult of personality around him, and he&#039;s not my favorite... but just because I don&#039;t want to get a beer with him doesn&#039;t mean his book has nothing to teach. Plus it&#039;s a library book. Can&#039;t beat free knowledge <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /><br /> <br /> Also, it&#039;s an insanely fast read even though it&#039;s about 2x longer than it should be. I&#039;d give it an 8.5 out of 10.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m not sure what my next book will be, but I&#039;d really like to find a copy of <i>Awaken the Giant Within</i>. I also have this circuit-design textbook from 1974 that is begging me to do the exercises in it. <img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hungry.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hungry:" title="Hungry :hungry:" data-shortname=":hungry:" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Just finished listening to &quot;Ready, Fire, Aim&quot; by Michael Masterson. Ordered the book too and it should arrive this week together with &quot;The 7 Day Startup&quot; by Dan Norris (the extra book made postage free so might as well get two).<br /> <br /> Also just finished listening to &quot;Anything You Want&quot; by Derek Sivers.
