Day 1 - LES BROWN - Making It Today

Grant Cardone is an international sales expert, New York Times best-selling author, and radio show host of The Cardone Zone. He has founded three companies: Cardone Enterprises, Cardone Real Estate Holdings, and the Cardone Group. He has shared his sales and business expertise as a motivational speaker and author of five books: Sell to Survive; The Closers Survival Guide; If You're Not First, You're Last; The 10X Rule; and Sell or Be Sold and we are chatting about his new book be Obsessed or Be Average.

It’s funny actually, I introduced him as a multi-millionaire on the show and he got offended. You have to check out his reasoning for why he almost killed me for saying that.

 

In the interview, we cover exactly Grant thinks being obsessed is a healthy thing and what you can learn from junkies.

 

I know on the onset it would seem like they are both such negative terms, but once you hear how Grant reframes them for you, you might think differently.

 

Simply put, Grant is prolific. This guy pretty much has a new show that goes out every day.

 

I ask him about his thoughts on balance and going all in for his family and you will be shocked at his response.

 

He gives me tactical information about his priming process every morning for how he gets in the zone. He hasn’t given to any other interviews so you gotta listen to see what I mean.

 

This might not be my most popular episode as some of the things Grant says will inevitably piss you off.

 

Especially his thoughts on work life balance and an epidemic of individuals trying to heal themselves.

 

But that’s the point. IF you are a changemaker, if you want that level of success, part of the formula, no matter how you cut it, is the obsession with your art and what you do best in this world.

 

I don’t agree with everything he said. But then again, I millions of dollars was a lot before this interview.

 

According to Grant, you are at best in the middle class if you have a million dollars.

 

Changemakers, do me a favor. IF you enjoy this episode, let us know. Let Grant know, let me know. Don’t be passive in this process. I realize that everything we do needs to be coming from a place of feedback.

Tweet at us, let us know.

Self Discipline Flexibility -- Ability to adapt   Why Napoleon was successful? He had a front line obsession Writing a book with 50 Cent  "Never let your guard down"   Law 4 - Always say less than necessary. "Do not speak unless you can improve upon the silence."  Learn the power of being quiet If you're upset about an email, do not respond emotionally. Wait 24 hours and then respond with a level head   Law 9 - Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument. "Demonstrate, do not explicate."  Commit to action. Words are devalued "Show them. Don't talk."   Law 10 - Infection: Avoid The Unhappy and Unlucky  You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with "We absorb the energy of other people." Look to "level up" your peer group at all time"   How to deal with a person in a power position who you do not like or respect?  Do not let them see you upset. Do not show them emotion (when they try to rile you up)   Did President Trump read The 48 Laws of Power? He appears to have used some of the laws to help get elected:  Law 6 - Court attention at all cost Law 17 - Keep others in suspended terror. Cultivate an air of unpredictability Law 27 - Play on people's need to believe to create a cult like following   Very common in business for an "aggressive, loud yeller" to push people around and somehow get promoted... But once they have to actually lead and manage people, they fail miserably Rappers, movie stars, athletes quoting (even tattooing) The 48 Laws. How has that impacted you? Great satisfaction, but even more from "regular" people who email him and said his work helped them start a business or quit a bad job. "Sometimes you don't know what you're intended to do. It pays to have an open mind." -- Robert didn't write The 48 Laws of Power until he was 38 years old "The human brain does not learn unless it is excited" Cesar Rodriguez -- "Trust The Process" -- You must get reps, reps, reps in order to achieve any level of excellence  Think long term and put in the necessary work to be great   Advice: "You were born with a purpose. Tap into what makes you different and unique. There is tremendous pressure to fit in. You will have success if you dig deep, be adventurous, try things out. Respect your unique-ness, something great will happen."  "The Human Brain Does Not Learn Unless It Is Excited."
