You’d like to truly live and feel excited and passionate about what you do. But what does it take to get to that point? How do you get beyond the mundane and live an extraordinary life? This is also a good opportunity for you to become stronger in the face of fear. With every person that rejects you, that’s only another chance to practice resilience. Brilliant!, one second-story patron exclaims, clearly enraptured by both his magnetic charisma, and the fact he seems to be forcing everyone in the large bar to stay and listen. Through Sheer. Will. Alone. I will start by stating that I have read/listened to other Cardone books (10X Rule, Sell or Be Sold). I do not like Grant Cardone. He may be a wonderful man, but I do not like his style or his philosophies. I agree with the sentiment that those who are "obsessed" with success will likely do far better than those who are not. If the average salesperson is making 20 calls a day and I make 100 calls a day, I'll likely do better. Grant asks a question like, "Are you doing things that you don't need to be doing?" I understand this question completely. Why would I spend my time stuffing envelopes when I could be meeting with clients and closing sales that generate thousands of dollars more. Where Grant loses me is when he uses an example of spending 6 hours a day with your newborn baby. He actually asks this question in response to asking if you are doing things you don't need to be doing. Things that take away from building your career and wealth. Yes, Grant, I do need to be spending six hours with my newborn. It's called bonding. I have heard him say things like (and I'm paraphrasing): work until 8 or 9 or 10 at night. Your kids would rather be with their friends anyway and your wife would rather be watching her shows. What kind of family do you have that your family doesn't want to spend time with you? What is the point in having a family if you don't make time for them?

I'm constantly learning and making myself right to become a good leader but this author thrashes leadership and asks to take control rather than being a leader. I believe leadership and control is equally important to become successful. Real talk: anybody can be average…but why settle for average when you can be phenomenal! Grant Cardone’s Be Obsessed or Be Average is your guide to unleashing your ‘phenomenal!'” —ERIC THOMAS, preacher and motivational speakerObsession made all of his wildest dreams come true. And it can help you achieve massive success too. As Grant says, we’re in the middle of an epidemic of average. The conventional wisdom is to seek balance and take it easy. But that has really just given us an excuse to be unexceptional. The content is very useful in being productive at work, push yourself and achieve more and helps you find the negatives in you and fix them.

Minutes later, SWAT police arrive and congregate outside, hearing a report Grant Cardone is supposedly 'unarmed', law enforcement apparently having enough intel to, wisely, conclude average police are not enough. If only they knew. They offer several sternly-worded warnings. Grant Cardone is obsessed. He is obsessed with living and manifesting an utmost life. His obsession is now changing the lives of millions.” —TIM STOREY, motivational speaker Only you are responsible for your success". I grew up in a neighborhood where many people got nice things handed to them and I wasn't necessarily one of them. Things helped put things into perspective. Once when I get the understanding that I am not some billionaire heir and take responsibility into my own action I can achieve what I set my mind to. From the millionaire entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule comes a bold and contrarian wake-up call for anyone truly ready for success. One of the 7 best motivational books of 2016, according to Inc. Magazine.

I have also authored a number of business and motivational audio and video programs; The Rules of Success Motivational Program, Control Without Confrontation, 21st Century Selling, Maximizing Every Opportunity and a customized program for the auto industry called The One a Day Sales and Management Program. First, you need to recognize that fear will come in one of two ways. You either feel like people will reject you or that you will fail. And you’ll have to learn how to handle both to come out on top. Before Grant Cardone built five successful companies (and counting), became a multimillionaire, and wrote bestselling books... he was broke, jobless, and drug-addicted. Obsession made all of his wildest dreams come true. And it can help you achieve massive success too. As Grant says, we're in the middle of an epidemic of average. The conventional wisdom is to seek balance and take it easy. But that has really just given us an excuse to be unexceptional.
