3 Most Important Things I Learned From the Book "The 10X Rule"

First of all, let me say this to you. If you haven't read this book, go right this second and buy it. Or download free PDF of the book. But I would highly recommend you buy a physical copy because this is the book you should absolutely have. 

You'll be like. Whoa! Wait a second man, who is this book for in the first place and what is it about?

To answer that, this is what I would say. If you wanna do anything outstanding even a little bit in anything. This book will help you with the mindset to get it. 

And the first thing this book would do is change your desire to do little bit outstanding to absolutely outstanding. 

Now, as this book has a lot to offer. Here are top 3 things I got from this book, yet.

1. Taking absolute responsibility of everything that happens to you.

The key is not to think that anything happens to you. But everything happens because of you. This way of thinking is absolutely powerful.
To get where you want to go in life, you must adopt the view that whatever is going on in your world - good, bad or nothing - is something caused by you. I assume control over everything that happens to me, even for those things that I appear to have no control over. Whether I am in control or not, I still elect to claim responsibility and control so that I can do something to improve my situation going forward.
  

It's something really smart as well. If you know you have the power, then you're going to be more happy than if you think you have no power and things happen to you. 

You know as it's famous dialogue that "With great power comes great responsibility." Well, the reverse of it is also true, "With great responsibility comes great power."

2. 10X Goals.

If you think small and have small goals and average goals then you can forget about doing anything outstanding and having anything outstanding. It's impossible to get anything outstanding when you think small and have average goals.

Author says one of his greatest regret is not thinking big enough and not setting goals high enough from the start.  

3. Success is your duty.

This is very crucial to understand. If doing something or achieving something is an option for you then you are most likely not going to get it. Because with failures and setbacks and difficulties you will give up or divert your route or settle down or derail from what you wanted to achieve. 

So, Success must be an obligation, duty and responsibility for you only then you can have a guarantee that you will get it.

Four Most Common and Avoidable Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make in the Shark Tank Pitch

Shark Tank is an American business reality television series that gives any entrepreneur a chance to pitch their business (not just idea) and ask for money in return for fair percentage of equity in their business. A lot of entrepreneurs get a deal out of tank,  a lot of them don't. Some entrepreneurs get exactly what they were asking for and few gets more money with more valuation and more sharks in the deal. But a lot of entrepreneurs don't get the deal or they lose some of the sharks because of one of these mistakes.  I haven't watched all of the Shark Tank episodes but from the episodes I have watched, these were the mistakes I found that were mostly deal breakers and could have been avoided most certainly. 1. Valuing their company extremely higher than they can prove it This is, I would say, the number one point most sharks struggle to deal with: Entrepreneurs have valued their company way higher than they can prove. Because of absurdly high valuation that sharks can...
