In essence, that story is of a lost kid. I was 25 when I left the treatment facility “supposedly” with the disease and unable to have any kind of real life. The rehab is supposed to help people handle the addiction. Their sole goal is to get you off the drug for 28 days. Yet they have little to no success.
While treating the symptoms, treatment centers easily overlook the root cause. The problem wasn’t the drug for me. The problem was what got people like me to these drugs in the first place. And that was never addressed while I was in rehab.
But I kept strong and left with a feeling of gratefulness, with the thought of going just 24 hours without a drug. I have not used a drug, any kind of drug, since then.
That was the only way I was going to have success — by not using a drug. I left there and figured out what my problems were. My primary problem was that I was bored. I didn’t have any direction or purpose. Neither did I have a job nor a game.
I was 10 when my dad died and it left me with a big void. He was really successful and I looked up to him every day.
In everyone’s life, you have someone you’re looking up to or looking down to or looking sideways at. – Grant Cardone.
I didn’t have the guy to look up to anymore. I had to look around and all I had was a bunch of people who were equal to me or less than me. And I don’t mean that in a derogatory way. They just didn’t know as much or they were less optimistic.
That’s what I was surrounded by. I think most of the world is surrounded by people like that. People who aren’t educated, have bad information, are miseducated, negative, or given up. If you’re surrounded by people, like I was, who have given up on money, success, being known, or making their dreams come true, then something bad is going to happen.I ended up going towards drugs though it was just a detour.
Long story short, I got out of the treatment center, decided to not use drugs anymore, and I looked at one thing that I could focus on. Anytime that I had focused on one thing in my life, I did not get into trouble. I didn’t have that between the age of 10 and 25. Or maybe I did and I just didn’t take it.
So I channeled all my energy into something constructive with a promise to not be destructive. I didn’t get excited about it nor did I make a commitment to it. I got a sales job and decided I was throwing myself into it. By the way, I hated sales.There are some investments that have zero risks and can guarantee return on your investment every time. Investments in myself have always paid off.
The third reason for my success is that I invest in things that are going to work.
It goes back to cash flow. When I have an idea, I don’t sell it. I cashflow the idea. Cash flow is the holy grail of finance. Most entrepreneurs and businesses don’t make it because they just don’t have cash. They can’t sell their products fast enough at margins high enough. It’s not that the company is not making money, it’s that there’s almost never anything left.
Every day, I get a financial statement of all my businesses at Cardone Enterprises. I know exactly where every penny is, and I know when things are going great and when they are not. For instance, if I want to spend some money on an advertisement, I don’t have a meeting on budgets. I know I have enough money to run the advert. I just don’t stop.
Speed is the currency that you want to maximize on today. Most people just go too slow. They think too long and they never take any action. – Grant CardoneI don’t make investments in stocks or in bonds. I invest in myself and things that generate cash flow. Now I know this sounds completely contrary. But I believe the entire world has been freaking lied to about these investments. They are pieces of paper. You took paper that was worth nothing and bought more paper that was worth nothing — it’s like gambling in a casino.
The fourth thing that I have done is investing in hard assets. I started with no money, no loans, and no connections. It’s all about the cash flow for me.
Today, one-third of my money and our income come over the internet. 100% of the money that we raised at Cardone capital, $100 million in 14 months, came over the Internet.
I raised more money last year via crowdsourcing over the internet, and I’m probably in the top 20 people on raises made with crowdfunding using social media. I’m not telling you that to brag. I’m telling you it’s possible for anybody.
