Thanks for joining us on Separation Saturdays. In the 10x world, we talk about creating a 10x superlife. That's what GC Grant Cardone likes to call it. The thing is, it challenges the way most people think about success. But it's building what GC says is a 10x super life. And a lot of people will jump to straight, hey, that's talking about being very wealthy or having a lot of money. But this idea isn't just about making more money. It's about creating an extraordinary life across every major area. Your family, your health, your finances, your business, your purpose, and even how you spend your free time. Most people settle for average. But according to GC himself, he says average is actually the most dangerous place to live because average feels safe, and safe can slowly trap you in a life that's far below your potential. So that's what I want to talk talk about a little bit today. Why most people never really reach their potential, what a super life actually looks like, the mindset shift required to build it, and then the actions needed to make it real. So let's dig into that first one why most people never reach their potential. One of the first things that GC always presents when he's talking about the 10X super life is that most people are programmed from early on in childhood to live an average life. Talks about the messages that many of us hear growing up, things like don't stand out, be realistic, be grateful for what you have, set reasonable goals. You know, these messages seem harmless, but over time they build a mindset that discourages ambition. Cardone argues that parents, teachers, peers, and even media often promote average as the safe path. But here's the problem average isn't safe. Average can lead to financial stress, limited opportunities, and a constant feeling of being stuck. One of the most powerful ideas in 10X is this the average level of action is the most dangerous level of action because society accepts it as enough. But when you operate at average levels, you don't stand out. You don't create massive opportunities, you don't build extraordinary wealth, you simply stay in the middle. And that middle ground leads to middle class goals. Goals like job security, playing it safe, stable income, predictable life. Now all those sound fine, sound good on the surface, right? But GC argues that they often conflict with freedom. Because freedom usually requires risk, expansion, big thinking, and massive action. So what are the some of the thing other things we learn, you know, in society that limits you, that gives you limited beliefs, limiting beliefs, right? Things like don't expect too much, successful people aren't happy, as not true. You can't have it all, stuff like that. GC calls these lies of society, not necessarily intentional lies, but limiting beliefs that people repeat without even thinking about it. Most people grow up believing that success must come with sacrifice, that if you succeed in one area, you must fail in another. But the super life philosophy says something completely different. It says success should expand across all areas of life, not just one. So what exactly is a super life? What is the 10x superlife? It could be defined as the combination of the right thinking and the right amount of action across all areas of your life to create an extraordinary life. And it can be broken down into seven major areas, and all these categories should grow simultaneously. Those areas are family, business or career, physical health, spiritual life, financial wealth, community impact, and recreation. So think about that for a moment. Many people focus only on a couple of those. Someone might focus heavily on career but neglect their health. Or someone might prioritize family but ignore financial growth. But GC argues that true success requires expansion across all seven of these areas. Because if one area collapses, it can drag the rest of your life down with it. Financial problems can strain relationships. Health issues can impact business performance. Lack of purpose can undermine motivation. So a super life requires balance, but not the kind of balance most people talk about. We don't want balance in 10x, remember. It's not about reducing ambition, it's about expanding success everywhere. So most people fail to create a super life for three main reasons wrong thinking, wrong goals or targets, and too little action. So let's break those down a little bit. Wrong thinking. Many people prioritize comfort over freedom. They choose predictable paths instead of growth opportunities. They think about income instead of wealth, or they think about spending money instead of investing it. Wrong goals. One of the biggest mistakes people make is setting goals that are too small. GC always points out that many people set goals based on comparison. They look at what others are doing and aim slightly higher. But that kind of goal setting limits potential. Instead of asking, what can I realistically achieve? The super life mindset asks, hey, what would be extraordinary? When's the last time you asked yourself that? What would be extraordinary? What would be an extraordinary goal for me right now, an extraordinary target? So next, too little action. We've talked before about the four levels of action doing nothing, retreating, average action, and massive action. So most people operate in that average range, but extraordinary success requires massive action. So how do you actually create that super life with that massive action? Well, first thing with everything in 10X starts with a commitment. Not casual interest, not occasional effort, but a full commitment. Building an extraordinary life requires committing everything you have: your energy, your time, your focus, your resources, and that commitment applies across every area of life. That career, family, health, wealth, purpose, recreation, all of it. Once that commitment is made, the next step is setting those 10x targets. So that means thinking much bigger than what you normally would. Instead of asking, hey, how can I improve my income slightly? You ask, how can I increase my income 10 times? Instead of asking, how can I be a little bit healthier? How about you ask, how can I reach elite levels of health and energy? These bigger targets force you to think differently. They push you to expand your actions and they open doors you wouldn't see if you had smaller goals. But once you start doing that, once you have those massive targets and once you start taking the massive action, massive action doesn't just create success, it also creates some challenges. When you take massive action, several things happen. You're gonna encounter new problems, but those problems are actually a sign of progress. Your weaknesses become visible, and that's actually a good thing because it shows you what needs improvement. You're gonna receive criticism. We've talked about that before. You're gonna get some haters. You're gonna get that criticism. People are gonna question your ambition, people are gonna doubt your goals. But criticism, haters, naysayers is often a sign that you're operating at a much higher level. Because one of the biggest indicators that you're taking massive action is that people start noticing you, both supporters and the haters. The next part of the 10x Super Life gets into the wealth creation formula, but I'm gonna save that for another separation Saturday. But remember, the core idea behind the 10x Super Life is simple. Success isn't something that happens randomly, it happens because of your actions. Nothing happens to you, it happens because of you. And building a super life requires a decision, a commitment, a decision to stop settling, a decision to think bigger, a decision to take massive action, because there is no shortage of success in the world. The only limits are the ones people accept and give to themselves. So the question is are you aiming for average or are you building a 10X super life? If you want any help with that, give us a shout.
