Sell To Survive" (2008): The definitive sales survival manual on how to SELL your way through any economy. I have friends who participate in drama, gossip, talking bad of others. Grant touched on the point of dominating yourself and not others. This is true in every aspect. Don't worry what others are doing, do your own thing. Respect other people's decisions but don't dwell on what they are doing with their lives. In addition to speaking internationally to individuals, companies, and industry leaders on sales effectiveness, negotiating strategies, business development and business expansion, I am a regular contributor to networks including, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, Huffington Post, Business Week’s Business Exchange, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Reuters, CNBC, Today Show and over 600 radio shows. Hitler se rindió antes de terminar, se suicidó. ¡Un cobarde! y lo mejor es que de seguro se despertó en el cielo(Si, en el cielo) al día siguiente para tener que empezar de nuevo" 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.

You try to manage texting the police covertly with your cell phone—but some magnetic force stops you. I have to admit that this book motivates me to the core to become successful in my career, this book gave me permission to be obsessed to achieve my goals which I've been parked for a long time but a necessity to my career and my personal well-being. It's highly recommended to anyone who's struggling or having a hard time to achieve their goals. Grant Cardone's life lessons helped me, it might help you too. You don't really know what that means, because although it is a multiplier, he never actually quantifies or breaks down how to achieve this superhuman ability. All you know is that it sounds like it could cause cardiac or respiratory issues, or require a lot of cocaine. But Grant Cardone doesn't need cocaine. He doesn't waste time on activities that don't fuel his OBSESSION. 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.

Before Grant Cardone built five successful companies (and counting), became a multimillionaire, and wrote bestselling books... he was broke, jobless, and drug-addicted. 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. JAJA, no puedo darme menos estrellas que una, este libro podría llamarse The evil Michael Scott guide to business y nadie lo dudaría por la manera repetitiva, estúpida, la egolatría y sin absoluto sentido de ética, decoro o filtro alguno entre los pensamiento enfermos del autor y el mundo real. You know, your dad had his company taken away from him when he took on partners" and "I can't even believe you are thinking about that! It's so expensive to live there and everyone who lives this is crazy" These quotes hurt the core of my spirit because I have heard these two things numerous times. Instead of my family, friends, etc being supportive of me they dished out these two phrases line for line. While these two activities do take on risk, I believe naysayers and people not being supportive of your goals will hinder you from success more than anything else.

The 10X Rule": Where to start, what to do, and how to follow up each action you take with more action to 10X your success! Cardone had to do this when he turned 40. He was busy traveling from one speaking engagement to the next. He would even schedule talks in Canada on US holidays. But when he began to wake up not knowing which city he was in, he knew something had to change.

Cardone expects his employees to be willing to die for him and to be willing to put his company above their families, and if they don't, they're "not the kind of employees" he wants to hire. I am not sure if this was an exaggeration, but if not, that's just..weird? He stares down the bar keep and the bouncers as if he was trying to—and succeeding in—bending reality itself to his will. His superpower of BEING OBSESSED keeps them at bay, and you're astonished to find they're keeping the bar open now, at their own expense, just so he can finish telling you why it's 'not enough to own 100 apartments', like he did, but to instead own '500 apartments'. He also mentions he's doing things '10x' now, and why you should, too. People will always justify their averageness. The nay sayers are trying to protect themselves from being reminded that they've relegated themselves to average. Thats why they'll always try to protect you rather than encourage you to go ahead and explore different avenues. ‬GC is the guy who started from nothing and has become a business superstar. From middle class to a multimillionaire. From a junkie and a teen who was almost beaten to death to a famous sales trainer, a renowned speaker, an international social media influencer and a real estate mogul. This is enough for me to take inspiration from. 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? What matters at first is realizing the capacity to be obsessed". This line really spoke to me because I enjoy getting obsessed with leisure activities like video games, T.V. shows and hanging with friends. I already know I have the capacity to be obsessed, now I must find out how to redirect that obsession towards more positive activities. It seems obvious, but this line helped point out my strength and weakness at the same time, now it is important to apply it to something constructive. 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.
