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
