Grant Cardone-4 Steps to Insure Success!

Neither the next President of the US or the price of gasoline will have anything to do with whether you create success for yourself. If you are waiting for the right president or the oil companies to insure your future you will be disappointed.

While I have my preferences as to who becomes President and would like to see gasoline prices lower, I refuse to let either threaten my survival and have a plan to make sure it does not!

That plan includes the following steps( taken from The Rules of Success):

1) Stay positive.

2) Take only those actions that forward my goals.

3) Stay focused on my goals and disregard the distractions.

4) Stay with those actions regardless of the outcomes until I get what I win!

These four steps when adhered to exactly will insure that a person is successful regardless of who is President of the US or the cost of gasoline.  Each of these steps are critical but the first one is senior to the others.  Each step requires that you financially invest in them not just decide on them!  

The first most important thing is to load your mind up with positive information (daily) no differently than you feed yourself or put fuel in your car.  Write the answer to these questions down- how much did you spend last month on:  

a) food for your body? 

b) fuel for your car?

c) on having a positive attitude and your mental conditioning? 

Your answer by itself will demonstrate why you may have trouble staying focused on what you want, where you are going and then staying with it (2,3,& 4 above)! 

People waste time and money on coffee, cigarettes,  concert tickets, ball games, movies, and fixing their car but when it comes to investing in their minds and their attitudes they don't make the necessary investments.  If the brakes on your car went out you would take your car to the shop? Of course you would.  Trust me, you need your mind more than you need a brakes on your car! Your mind can take you anywhere you want to go when its it great condition! And when it is perfectly tuned you won't get the brakes fixed you will be able to trade the car in for a new one!  Your mind and attitude are the engine, transmission and the drive shaft! Get it right first thing everyday and the rest becomes possible! 

Successful people KNOW that they have to invest in their mental conditioning in order to make their dreams and goals a reality.  Get the first point in today so that you can do the other three steps and create the success you want!   

Call 800-368-5771 and we can tell you the best way to get your attitude right and for those who really want to go on an adventure ask about how to go all the way and permanently eliminate all negativity forever! It is possible!

Recessions are for Economies, NOT Individuals

The television, the radio and the economist continue to report how much is wrong with the American Economy and then viewers and listeners go into agreement with the reports and make the bad news reported become reality for themselves. I have been through about nine of these so called pullbacks over my life-time and have survived every one of them! Here is some data you need:

Recession is defined as a temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in production over two successive quarters.

If you don't personally have a temporary decline or fall in production it means you would not have a recession. RECESSIONS ARE FOR ECONOMIES NOT FOR INDIVIDUALS.

A recession does not mean every individual need participate or that YOU personally have to be impacted. I personally have no intention of being involved in this reported bad news and I refuse to participate with any and all economic declines, pullbacks or shrinkage of any sort. You don't have to participate either if you don't choose to! But in order not to participate you must act differently from the masses of people and do whatever is necessary not to have a decline or fall in your production.

Just remember, what happens to "all people" or even "most people" does not mean it has to happen to you. Just because John and Bob get in a fight at the local bar on Friday night does not mean you have to wake up with a black eye on Saturday morning.

Here is a trick I use to insure I don't participate with pull backs! Look around at what most people are doing and don't do what they do. Those that are affected by recessions actually make it happen to themselves because their actions support that which they hear reported by the media. Disagree with the bad news and know that only your actions not the media can affect you! Then do everything each DAY to make sure you don't participate in the BS news. This is what I do:

1) Focus on exact actions I take daily to expand.

2) Do everything possible to keep my attitude positive daily.

3) Push as hard as possible to get results day to prove the media wrong!

4) Increase my personal training daily.

Don't shrink now, expand! Don't spend less money now, spend more! Don't start putting in budgets now, invest money and expand! Don't agree with bad news, disagree by your actions!

Now is a great opportunity for the strong to get stronger while the weak and undisciplined disappear.

Remember Recessions are for Economies not for Individuals.

Grant Cardone - The Price Myth

Excerpts from Grant Cardone's New Book

("Selling the Secret to Success"- on Amazon)

Survey all of the salespeople in the world, even entrepreneurs, you’d find that most believe that price is the number one reason people don't buy their product or service. This is absolutely not true. Sales are loss by because people within the company incorrectly believe price is the reason customers do not buy their product.
Earning business is ultimately about getting the buyer to fall in love with the product and/or getting the buyer to have complete and urgent confidence that the product or service offered will solve their problems better than any other!
The Price Experiment
I once had a salesperson tell me that if the price of my seminar tickets was lower he’d be able to sell twice as many tickets. To prove a point I put on an experiment to prove that a lower price would not insure more sales. I offered a Grant Cardone seminar in Detroit at one-tenth (10%) of the normal price. Detroit has always been one of our best-attended seminar markets so it would prove an excellent testing ground. There was only one stipulation to our little experiment so that we could properly test out his little theory. The sales person would not be allowed to sell the product so that we could determine if price would sell the ticket.

Result: the lowest attendance of any seminar I have given in twenty years. Sixteen people bought tickets for 1/10 of the normal price and we normally have four hundred in attendance.

Reality #1- if price will get the job done there would be no need for salespeople anywhere and that would create a problem for 25% of the world’s workforce.

Reality #2-If the company keeps reducing the price there will be no margin left for commissions resulting in a problem for 25% of the entire world workforce.

Reality #3- Price is never why someone will or will not buy something from your company, they buy because of love and confidence.

If you want a successful career in sales or you want a successful company you must completely dismiss the idea that price will sell a product, as it will not!

Also, price is not your problem to solve, but should be the customers problem to solve. Your problem is to get people to fall in love with your product to the point that they don’t want to spend another second without it! If you are selling a service or product that doesn’t have that love connection then you have to make the buyer confident in your product that that they want to pay your price because they believe that it will improve their company somehow or solve some problem that they want solved! Even remotely entertaining the concept that price is the reason people don’t buy will result in you failing!
This belief should be treated like the plague in any organization.
It is critical and vital to an individual’s existence and a company’s survival that this false belief about price be removed from the culture or the company will cease to exist. Just this week ATA, Skybus and Aloha Airlines went out of business due to the belief that price could sell their services!

Grant Cardone on The Main Thing

In the last fifty years of my life there have been nine recessions, four housing bust, six major stock market crashes and four major wars that the US alone, has participated in.

Also in those fifty years there have been more millionaires and billionaires made than in any other fifty year period in history. Those people became rich because they kept the main thing the main thing. The main thing is tomorrow, the future and what you will do to contribute to creating a better future for the world. The people that can disregard the bad news, the past, and focus on what they can produce for tomorrow will prosper and make a difference. Everyone else is just a spectator not a player and not a difference maker!

Fifty years ago, there was no Starbuck's coffee on every street corner, no cell phones, no hope of electric Cars, no computers, no internet, no Tivo, no email, no email, no Google, no Hummers, no flat screen tv's, no artificial grass, we didn't have venetian plaster, CRM follow up Systems, customer satisfaction reports, 40MM Watches, one hundred and fifty dollar blue jeans, and thousand dollar purses, there was no 24 screen movie theatres, huge city size theme parks....you get the point. The people that created these things have made fortunes and they deserve it. They kept their attention on creating and producing a future not on talking about what happened yesterday! These people were so focused on their dreams and the future they either disregarded the bad news or had so much attention on producing they had no attention for the things that were bad!

It would appear that the people that cry the most are the people that do the least! And the people that do the most have the least time to cry!

Nothing is more important than a person's ability to keep the main thing the main thing! And the main thing is always in your future never in your past. Get focused on what you will produce, create and contribute to the future and your life will change in seconds!

Grant Cardone on Creating Wealth

I did a seminar yesterday in Tampa for 400 people who are all looking for a way/ways to create financial freedom in their lives.

There are only two answers to insure you create financial freedom.

1) Put together a plan based on saving and investing not spending.
2) Produce at levels that guarantee that you reach your financial goals.

It works like this: Figure first how much money you need to be financially independent, take the number of years you are willing to take to accomplished the goal. Then divide the desired financial target by the years you chose. IE. 1,000,000 in 20 years, would mean you need to set aside $4000 a month every month for 240 months. With only minimal interest and never putting any of the money at risk you would be well in excess of 1,000,000.

The second step would be: Figure out basic living expenses, and other cost and state and federal income taxes and add the 4000 a month you want to save you have the number you need to produce every month!

Then do whatever it takes to produce that amount, whether it's worker harder at one job or taking on several jobs.

Millionaires become millionaires due to focus on an outcome, hard work, consistent effort at their goals, saving money not spending money, and doing whatever they have to do to create financial freedom for themselves and their loved ones.

Get you financial plan in now! Also get your attitude right everyday so you think like a millionaire. If you already have my Rules of Success program listen to one cd a day. If you don't have it, Get it. 800-368-5771
