“It’s scary to spend money on marketing when you’ve been in desperation mode. But the opportunity cost of not spending is bigger.”
“Nobody loves your business like you do. Everyone else gets paid, and the entrepreneur goes home wondering how they’re going to make payroll. That’s why alignment and incentive structures are so important—so your team starts pushing the wagon with you.”

Welcome to a new episode of Next Level Pros! In this episode, Chris and the team discuss Grant Cardone's journey from losing his $10 million net worth to building a billion-dollar empire. They dive into the key lessons from Grant's experience, including the power of the 10x rule, the importance of personal accountability, and the role of massive action and goal-setting in achieving success.
Highlights:
"The 10x rule is basically a concept about we set goals and targets, and we find places of comfort that are too small. They don't have, you know, insurance for the average American today, like if you have three months of savings, you think you're good, you're not good."
"I realized I was like that I fucked up, and that personal accountability, right? This is not on anybody else. This is on me."
"When I wrote this, this book was not really written for other people. I was literally trying to figure out what, what am I going to do to get a bigger audience? How am I going to scale to other industries, right?"
"Clarity creates action. When you're unclear, you don't know what to do if I want to get in shape, but I don't know how to get in shape. I'm probably just gonna sit on the couch."

"Go and fail as much as possible. If you're living at home, this is the perfect time to fail, right? Your safety net is pretty strong, right? You don't have to worry about food on the table. You don't have to be worrying about a roof over your head, but you can go out and you can fail."
"Transparency is one of the biggest things that I learned from my mentor Todd at Vivint. A lot of business owners operate in the dark, meaning that they only allow a certain amount of information to go to their employees, and they treat them, probably like they're dumb."
"For me, that's what I took from the education system, and I've been able to apply, and that's where I would say most of my success has come from, is being constantly hungry for learning."
"You will not lose your job to AI. You will lose your job to somebody that knows how to use AI, and that person will be more and more efficient because of it."
