i use stress i use conflict and i build a life
my goal is to meet as many people on this planet as possible
people that are positive people that have more time to
create than to be critical more time to hustle than they have to hate
and they want to actually add strategy and techniques that are proven
to grow their business so that they can take care of their family and their
church
10x is really was written for me it's a multiplier it's about how to multiply
and scale and i was i've been asked this question
a number of times like should i scale do you if you don't scale you will die
and i know that from personal experience because i tried to stay small it's the
biggest mistake i made in business i tried to
to manage my business i tried to stay small i tried to work out a home
i misunderstood that if you want to if you have a great message a great product
you have to scale and how do you do that financially how
do you do it with an audience how do you do it socially how do you do it with
real estate how do you do it with your life and
in your family i probably spend more time with my family me and johnny
were talking about this before the show than 99 of all people but i also spend
a lot of time in my business and a lot of time in other businesses so we have
seven businesses today when i wrote the 10x rule at two i use
stress i use conflict and i build a life the 10x rules
basically shows you how to do more get more have more and enjoy life more i
think about a life so like like when i when i take my life
and i'm like hey man i'm gonna i'm gonna draw grant's life out
i drop in oh he's a ceo okay oh he's a real estate guy oh he's a
husband he's a father right i drop these things
into my life i'm doing my life i'm not doing a job today this is not something
i'm adding to a schedule i'm not managing
time i'm creating a life and whatever time i
have today i'll do all these things that are
important to me today a 10 hour day is a short day for me
i hear more people promoting this four hour idea
okay like tim ferriss i just call him out right now it is complete
bunk it is complete bullshit you cannot skate you cannot outsource everything
this idea that you're going to be a solopreneur
outsource or work four hours or part time you guys try to do the part-time
thing you will have full-time problems forever
for the end to the end of your life not only will you have problems
because you're selfish if you're trying to do a four-hour work week you're
selfish you're thinking only about yourself
if you don't scale and hire people you're also selfish you're trying to
manage money rather than saying hey i have a great message like you you
have an obligation man to get out there and help people so
i don't know how to do 10 hours i know how to
i know i need six to seven maybe eight hours of sleep a day
the question is how am i going to best utilize my other 16 hours
with my family as a father as a community leader
as somebody that's interested in changing the conditions around me right
and how can i use that phone to maximize those 16 hours
and how can i spend time with my kids that actually
adds value to my business right how can i create a studio
so me and my wife can work together on wednesdays like everything that we do
here is about my life so that i'm dropping stuff into my life bucket
my work gets dropped in here so it's like everything i do i go on a trip
i go look at real estate i do an interview
i set up a house with in deer valley for a month i have people come over
investors i look at real estate everything is basically
i'm i'm i'm i'm what is it uh uh charity yeah exactly inside a soup right
i'm making a meal called my life everybody's trying to go out there and
not sell you guys are all trying like i'm gonna
i'm gonna be talented talent does not win
i know a whole bunch of guys less talented than me
that beat me for years they beat me because they got exposure
in the marketplace just in different sectors
in real estate okay i got a there's a group that that they went out and bought
140 000 units um
you know i got for 4 500. they're not as good
they they make take a lot of short cuts they don't take care of the tenant as
well as i do but they thought way bigger than i did
so um you know what i'm saying like it's in different spaces there was an
automotive space that i was in for years i was the leader in the automotive space
me and another guy constantly combating right he had a garbage product
he sold for less than i did he he scaled better than i did he beat me
at the scale game so you can't see a lot of people say look
look man steve jobs started his business in a garage
uh the the i think cadillac's got a commercial where the cadillac was
created in a garage who else bill gates started his business
in a garage mark zuckerberg started facebook in a
dorm everybody's like oh my god man i can do
this from home none of those companies got big
when they stayed in the garage of the dorm markey z
didn't make it until he moved to silicon valley and built a team
okay google didn't become google until they had a campus
in silicon valley and they scale to tens of thousands of employees so you have to
scale to be great i'm gonna go out i left my job i was
making 90 grand now i'm gonna me and gary vaynerchuk had this conversation
i was making 90 grand now i'm going to work for myself and make 90 grand and
gary's like well yeah the guy's better off the guy's better off working except
for himself for 90 grand than working for somebody else and i'm
like dude nobody's better off working for 90 grand
you can't live on 90 grand no anywhere in the america there's nowhere
in america you live in for 90 grand in miami you're going to have 12 000
before taxes left over at the end of the year if you
don't shop at whole foods so the the point of that is if you were
working for 90 000 for a company and then you go work for yourself for 90 000
you should be taking that money and buying a secretary buying a receptionist
buying scale buying a sales team reinvesting money
you should not have any money left over at 90 grand all of it should be going
to be poured back into the business to scale out unless
all you're thinking about is yourself
you
