GRANT CARDONE'S SUCCESS BLOG

Because I never trusted my talents, my looks, my luck, and had no connections, I studied what the successful did and tried to mimic it and then studied what the unsuccessful did, and avoided it. I’ve been working to create success for myself for over 45 years, since the age of 10 when my father died. I have looked for mentors to show me how to be successful in my life possibly out of the void caused by the loss of my father. While there are many things that seem to make up the difference between the successful and unsuccessful, I’ve noticed one simple difference that stands out the most - willingness. Successful people are willing to do the things that others are not willing to do. The old saying, do what you love and you will be successful is one of the biggest misunderstandings and misused ideas I have ever heard. You can see this everywhere in how people live their lives and make choices based on what "feels good" and they never truly get the life they want. Here are Read More >>

Did you know that there’s enough money circulating on this planet for every human being to have a net worth of $1 billion? One billion dollars! Are you getting your share? If you’re not, it’s because you’re thinking in terms of hard work and limits, not in terms of abundance. Look out at the Pacific Ocean and observe the infinite energy created there. The Pacific never stops. Go out there and get as many buckets of water as you want. How many buckets can you take? If you took as many bucketfuls as you wanted, would there still be plenty of ocean? Absolutely! Get over the idea that there’s scarcity of money because there isn’t! There’s plenty of money to go around. Millions of people on this planet have the false idea that there’s some sort of money shortage. But the truth of the matter is, there’s more than enough money to go around. If you start looking for prosperity and abundance, you’ll see that these things exist all around you. - GC Read More >>

What you want — and far more — will come to you when the right amount of action is created! If you want one thing, take massive action equal to at least ten times what you think it will take to ensure that you attain that one thing. If you do that you won’t have to hope, wish, cross your fingers, or pray for what you want. Whether cancelled appointments, a buyer backing out, a customer changing their order, and so on; the blame isn’t misfortune or bad luck — it is more often not having enough prospects in your pipeline. If you take ten times more action than what you’re doing, you would have no time to dwell on these so-called misfortunes and would actually welcome someone cancelling out, as it would be a relief rather than a misfortune. If you take enough action and are getting results, then it’s no big deal when an appointment cancels or buyer backs out. In fact, you’ll welcome the occasional cancellation since it’ll increase your ability to get to everyon Read More >>

Hey, Grant here, and I was thinking about the importance of fathers and what makes a great father as this Father's Day is upon us. While I only knew my dad for a few short years, he inspired me in how he conducted himself. While most kids look up to their fathers as giants, it wasn't until later in life that I realized what great things my father instilled in me. Without my father knowing it, he taught me the value of hard work, finishing tasks and doing whatever it took to provide for his family. My father was also extremely motivated to be a success. I can only imagine that he believed becoming successful was not an ego-driven activity but rather his responsibility to create that image for his five children, wife, his siblings, mother and father. In everything my father did he was influencing each of us. It wasn't what he said, it was how he conducted himself, how he held himself, how he finished a task, how he went to work everyday and how he worked through his own difficul Read More >>

Countless truly successful people agree with the sentiment that their careers do not feel like work but rather something they love to do. That is obsession at its best. If you become obsessed with your idea, purpose, or goal, you will become equally addicted to the idea of making it work. The dictionary defines the term “obsessed” as “the domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, or desire.” Anyone who makes it his or her mission to create long-term, positive 10X survival will have to approach each moment, decision, action, and day with this level of fixation. Until the world understands that you’re not going away - that you are 100 percent committed and have complete and utter conviction and will persist in pursuing your project - you will not get the attention you need and the support you want. It is unfortunate that people with this kind of voracious obsession and fierce drive are categorized as off-balance, work-addicted, obsess Read More >>
