January 4, 2018 Be Dangerous

Since you were a child, someone has been trying to keep you from danger. “Be careful” is the mantra that parents repeat to their children while buying products from entire industries that have been created just to “safe proof” a home in order to protect a child. Unfortunately, many people get to the point where they\’re so intent upon avoiding danger that they cease to truly live life! If you look back over your life, you\’ll probably see that you have done yourself just as much—or even more—harm by being “careful” than by being dangerous.
Think about the last time you got hurt. You were probably trying to protect something right before it happened. Being careful requires you to take actions cautiously—and there is no way that you will ever hit 10X activity levels by being cautious. Massive action demands that you throw caution to the wind, even if it puts you in the path of danger. Working with powerful people is dangerous in and of itself. Do you want to get investment dollars from a billionaire? A salary that pays you a million dollars a year? Take your company public? If so, you have to be willing to be dangerous because more will be expected of you with each of those situations. To do something big, you have to embrace danger. The way to ensure that danger doesn\’t kill you is to be sufficiently trained so that you can get into the ring and come out the victor.  Grant Cardone. “The 10X Rule.”
