Nancy Wallace-Laabs on "10X" by Grant Cardone

One Book That Changed My Life

For coaches, consultants, authors and experts, Grant Cardone’s book “10X” is a necessary read for many reasons. It provides an insightful way to look at what it takes to move the needle in our businesses. When it comes to going after our goals, the prevailing mindset is to inch forward slowly and put in the minimum required effort. “10X” blows this mentality out of the water, teaching the power of taking massive action.

For international speaker, multi best-selling author, coach and real estate investor, Nancy Wallace-Laabs, this book has been a key piece in her constantly pivoting and finding new opportunities.

In this episode, she shares why this book resonates with her so much, and the valuable lessons she’s learned from writing her own books.

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

Minimum necessary effort vs. massive action

Instead of putting the minimum necessary effort towards your goals, put in 10 times the amount of work. If you’ve done your job right, you should obliterate your goal so that you create more challenges by how well you hit that goal to begin with.

The power of “killing your darlings” in the book-writing process

Sometimes your favorite ideas are the ones that need to be killed off the most because they stand in the way of the idea that would make the most difference. As you write a book, accept that the initial vision you had for it might not end up being the thing you put out.

Nancy’s book-writing experience

As you try to grow, change or evolve, it’s common not to get as much support from the group that was supporting you all along. As you go up the ladder, you’re going to have people who want you to stay the same because they fear change, and you might find that more support comes from new people outside of that original circle.
