How can we dominate anything we put our mind to?

On our very first episode we interview Grant Cardone.  Grant is a powerhouse & he truly understands how to continue to get up and dominate when faced with extreme difficulty and challenges. 

In today’s episode we discuss:

  • The concept of self-made and the fact that he does not believe he is self-made.
  • How Grant has transitioned from maintenance to domination.
  • What it means to live in a poverty state of mind.
  • The importance of sharing how success works.
  • How the death of Grant’s father fuelled him.
  • What it means to be a successful businessman.
  • How did the Cardone’s get through and thrive through the financial crisis of 2008.
  • Grant’s first book “Sell or be sold” and why this was written.
  • The importance of “getting known” and how this can help build an empire and also save it.
  • Tapping into your own superpowers.
  • The cornerstone of his success - having Elena by his side.
  • What it means to have a successful team at home with your partner.
  • Elena’s process of who to trust and bring into the Empire.
  • How Elena found her power through her husband.
  • Grant & Elena’s definition of “Limitless Potential”.
