Grant’s Backstory:
Grant was a danger to himself, his family, his reputation, and it was not good and was very painful for him not just because of drugs, but how he felt for himself.
The issue for him was when he went to treatment, people were like, “Look. You're powerless, and your life is unmanageable.” But Grant thought that if he’s powerless, how is he going to go create the rest of his life? And that was the one thing he always struggled with.
He then realized that if his only game was just to stay clean and sober for the rest of his life, he’s just gonna end up back on drugs again, because he needed to replace that thing he was doing with a new thing that he wanted to do, and that was good.
In the beginning, his big problem was really just boredom and a lack of direction and inspiration. He never dreamed about where he is now today, but he knew he was capable more than he was doing. Grant certainly knew he was capable more than being just a “druggie.” He had to quit that, to find and be where he is right now.

The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
Read this book to achieve "Massive Action" results and accomplish your business dreams!
The 10 x rule is basically a multiplier that's saying, “Hey, I don't have to depend on one of anything. I can get a lot of things going and help people reach out to a lot of people, not just drug addicts, not just one group of people, but I can help a whole lot other people that maybe don't have the drug problem, but that have a money problem, or that have a physical, they're not taking care of themselves physically, or they're not contributing back to society enough. I want to build the help in all those arenas, not just a small group of people.”
Takeaways:
“Anybody that's actually able to get through an addiction, if you can really harness the energy and power around it, the ability to be obsessed with a target, the ability to get something no matter how hard it is, and no matter what the obstacles are, if you can convert that energy into something positive, you are unstoppable threat for great things.”
-Grant Cardone
Being ignored is way worse than being lambasted.
Don’t worry about haters, but worry about people that can’t even see you and can’t even acknowledge you because that just means that you're not doing anything, and you're not doing enough to have anybody actually be annoyed by you.
You just need to be happy with what you’re doing, and not be satisfied with the potential to do more and help out more people.
