Why the book "The Secret" is a Lie

When the book "The Secret" first came out, it was a New York Times bestseller. People were talking about it everywhere you went! The whole basis of the book...for the few of you that haven't read it...was that you just had to write down what you wanted in life and the universe, so long as you kept your attention on it, would give it to you.

I don't know about you...but nothing just showed up for me...without me taking major actions towards what I was trying to obtain.

The reality folks, is that NOTHING is just going to show up. If you're a guy working at Taco Bell, and you think you can just wish a 10 million dollars, big house, Porsche 911 and a successful business...you're kidding yourself! It just ain't going to happen!

Anything worth obtaining in this universe takes massive action...and it takes a lot of it!

I personally didn't get that entire concept until recently. I mean, I always worked harder than the average person, but I did "buy in" to "The Secret" way of life.

I thought that I could just work hard or hard enough and maybe at some point I would get the right break or opportunity. And though some opportunities came, they were equal to the amount of effort I was making. Small of medium effort, small or medium rewards.

After reading Grant Cardone's book 10X...and looking at were I was in life, not just in business, but everything, it became more apparent to me that my efforts needed to be increased!

Grant's book talks about 10X'ing (10 times) your effort in all areas of your life. He talks about how there isn't such a thing as "balance" and that it's really a myth. And if you look at it closly, it really is a myth. You can't have balance, you just have to fit ALL of it in your life. 

It takes a lot to be happy on this planet, and for me, i've come to understand that if I'm not productive and pursuing my purpose in life, I'm not happy. And if I'm not happy, do you think I will make anyone else happy around me...nope!

10X you efforts and I guarantee you will be a lot happier!
