Have you ever considered that losing everything may be the greatest opportunity that you have?
In today's episode, we're going to go back into the archives and pull out one of my original
interviews with Grant Cardone, where Grant shares with us how going from a $10 million
net worth to almost losing everything was the foundation of building his billion dollar empire.
He'll dive in and share with us how thinking bigger is the only thing that allowed him to
pull himself up by his bootstraps and regain it all.
And one of the craziest things that when he wrote the 10x rule, one of the best sellers
in the self development industry was written for himself as a personal manifesto to be
able to take himself to the next level.
After we hear from Grant, we're going to come back and remark and share a few of our
thoughts. Let's dive in
So take me back to like middle of the crash right so you're worth a couple million bucks, right?
You're 50 50 years old or just just after 50 like like what's going through your mind?
Like what what decision did you make at that point
that catapulted you to this amazing success?
Yeah, well what was going through my mind was,
and this may sound ridiculous to people,
but I'm like, I am fucked and I fucked up.
And for those of you who don't understand that concept,
it's like I had worked for 26 years
and saw my entire net worth over a weekend when Alina collapsed go from, dude, I was
good and then all of a sudden I wasn't good.
This is why I wrote the 10X rule.
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 insurance for the average American
today. If you have three months of savings, you think you're good. You're not good.
You don't need three months of savings. You need assets that save you for 30 years.
Right. Cash flow.
Unfortunately, the financial planning in this country and the financial illiteracy
and the indoctrination and the popularity of these financial gurus telling you guys
to pay your debt off and to basically have three months of savings is ridiculous.
Because millions of people, tens of millions
of people lost their homes in 2008 and have never recovered from it.
And so, the first thing that changed was I realized that I had fucked up.
And that admission happened.
So you took the personal accountability.
Right?
Personal accountability. You're like, this is not on anybody else, this is on me.
This ain't a team deal, bro.
I watched the Celtics get their ass whipped last night.
And then one of the players was like, yeah, we just didn't play as a team.
Bro, first thing you gotta say is, you f**ked up.
You gotta say, I messed up.
And then, by the way, if you mess up, the team's gonna mess up.
In my case, I didn't have a team, right?
It was me and a couple of people.
That's not a team, that's a group,
a small, tiny group of basically three musketeers.
Three musketeers didn't do anything great ever.
And you need an army, man.
So first thing I did was, oh, I screwed up here when I thought I was good.
Second thing is I got to realize what did I do wrong?
I have to figure out what is the thing I did wrong.
I identified that.
And what I did wrong was I went too small.
So when I wrote the 10X rule, when I wrote that book you showed
or talked about, I'm like, oh, I get it. I needed 10 industries. I had one company that paid me. I had one industry that paid me, two companies that basically could go out and get it, and then
I dumped it into the real estate. The two businesses were both slaughtered. I mean slaughtered, bro. One day they were doing great, the next day they literally could not pay
bills. I was not part of the mortgage crisis. I had nothing to do with the mortgage crisis. I did
not buy a bunch of houses. The 200 units that I had actually in the shopping center actually cash
flowed me through the collapse. Wow.
So when I wrote this, this book was not really written for other people.
I was literally trying to figure out what am I going to do to get a bigger audience?
How am I going to scale to other industries?
So back then we talked to one industry every day, which was automotive, and today automotive
was literally 100% of all my revenue
today
Automotive is less than 1% of my revenue. It's amazing
Yeah
I think I think in your your book be obsessed or be average you actually
Refer to the 10x rule that it was kind of like your personal manifesto
That basically is a rule book that you're writing for yourself that you wanted to live by
Yeah, and so I think that's that's so awesome
and I think it's important for just
listeners and whatnot to understand that like nobody's got to figure it out even if we write it and
And think we have it figured out like we really all have to go and do the work
And and so you wrote the book and then you started basically live in the book
Yeah, exactly do the work and and so you wrote the book and then you started basically living the book. Yeah exactly. Awesome so in the comments I would love you to share a few things that you learned
just from watching that clip with Grant. So guys like what were your guys main takeaways from this?
I love how Grant talks about taking accountability for what he did, what he could have done in his position,
I mean, he's worth nearly $10 million at this point.
There's probably a lot of reasons
why he didn't have to blame himself.
Something Darryl and Chris, that you guys talk about a lot
is as you get better at what you do,
your excuses also get better.
Hey guys, it's Chris.
Hey, a lot of you leave comments asking for help Do me a real quick favor shoot me a text at five zero nine three seven four seven five five four
That's five zero nine three seven four seven five five four shoot me a text
I'll answer and help you with whatever you need. Don't worry. I got you back. Let's go back to the show, baby
100% I think you know as I became like top tier
in door knocking industry, right, like I would be out there
knocking doors and top performer, like I was number three
out of 3,000 reps, right, but my excuses just got better
during that time, right, like so I would have three sales
on the day, it would be six o'clock, I knew I needed
to be knocking till 10 p.m. and like little thoughts would creep in like hey you know go home enjoy a nice little meal
with the wife you're out here by yourself you have nobody you got to take
home or nobody's gonna expect you to do more than three like you've already hit
your quota for the day right like you can always you're gonna you can always
do a little bit more tomorrow or
by selling more today, you're actually going to take sales from tomorrow. Like literally, like all these little lies that start creaming in. It's crazy. I can recognize those lies. Yes.
So I guess my question is, right, there's, there's people in our audience who are trying to be
successful, who are starting out, who are, you know, have been successful.
I think it's, I think the reason that this is
a really good story about Grant is,
at least for myself, is I've been motivated by his book,
10X, which he talks about using that
to basically define his future.
Yeah, so I think, you know, we were actually
talking this off camera.
You know, change really starts with,
you gotta feel some sort of motivation to change, right?
Like, you're either inspired by a book,
or maybe the pain is so great that you wanna change.
I think in Grant's instance, right,
he lost everything that's like, dude, I gotta change, right?
Otherwise, it's just gonna continue to be painful.
So it's either like, I feel some external motivation
from a friend, a speaker, an author,
or it's so bad that I have to make some changes.
I think it kind of starts there with a feeling.
But then the second thing, which Grant talks about,
is like the truth, right? Like
identifying the lies that we're telling in our lives, the things that we've allowed ourselves
to believe up until this point. And so Grant, clearly, you know, this interview took place,
you know, 15 years after the fact of this actual thing. So it's easy for him to look
back and be like, Yeah, man, I effed up, I screwed this up.
But I mean, was that what he was telling himself
in the moment?
I think he had to eventually get there,
but sometimes in those moments,
it's really hard to admit, man, I suck.
I've effed up, this is my fault,
and take like full ownership and responsibility.
But I think too, like when you're trying to find success
and we're trying to figure things out,
like you just gotta, you don't know what you don't know.
For sure.
And so it's like, it's not about like, I gotta avoid,
I gotta take accountability, I gotta avoid, you know,
making mistakes.
It's more of like make mistakes, acknowledge the mistake,
and then figure out how to like adjust from there
so that you don't make it again, or you learn from it
so it accelerates your- Yeah, I don't make it again, or you learn from it so it accelerates your progress.
Yeah, I don't think I'm saying don't make mistakes.
You gotta learn, but it's just owning the truth.
When I win, it was a win.
When it was a loss, it was a loss.
Because a lot of times, whenever we have a loss,
we try to justify why we lost,
or believe certain things that allow us
to continue to take less action.
And so it's like when you start from a baseline of like, I suck at this, I want to improve
it, it's much easier to go.
But then also, to your point, is be completely okay with failure.
In order to know the roadmap of where you want to go, a lot of us focus on the destination.
We all want to know where we want to end up and we want to focus on the destination. We all want to know
where we want to end up and we want to be rich and famous or whatever it might
be, but you can't put in the directions on your phone without also putting in
exactly where you're at. I think to your guys's point, that's the whole point of
being so rawfully truthful with yourself to be like, you know what, I'm
gonna help myself and this is exactly where I'm at and this is how I'm standing right now
And if you're not doing that you can't know where you're gonna go or how you're gonna get there
So I think there's two there's two issues that I see with with this topic and I think the first one is
People want something but they don't know what the first step is.
Right?
The other side of it is you don't know if you're really meant to have that vision, right?
If you come up with a big vision, sometimes it's scary to say,
that's who I want to become because you're so far from it that it doesn't make sense.
If I look at my younger years, that's what I struggled with,
where it was like, okay, I have this big vision,
but it is so unrealistic to who I am today
that it's hard to want to believe in it.
So I think one thing to definitely be learned
from Grant Cardone and even from my own personal experience
in this situation is like, when you're willing to lose it all, or you actually go to zero, you
quickly realize none of the possessions matter, none of the actual physical things because
those come and go.
So it's really about experience.
So then when you're talking about I don't know what action to take, you're not
scared to take action because you don't care whether you win or you lose.
And so like that's, I think the key to anybody that wants to change their life is just understanding
that action is the key and take it the best way you know how.
Go and learn from mentors, study YouTube channels, go to a podcast, whatever,
take some action. If it works, it works. Do some more of that. If it doesn't, stop doing
that. And don't be so worried about the physical possessions that come and go.
So I think the hard part, right, is whenever you listen to these success stories, you always
see people with the success. And it's really hard to have perspective of actually what
it looked like when they went through the hard hard stuff
and so that's like like you're saying like you just have to take action you have to move and
You have to be willing to lose over and over and over again knowing that you will win
I think one of the biggest things to take from Grant
Obviously is just from his book the 10x. The whole premise of that book is that,
in the moment, take massive action, right?
Like, if you think to hit this goal,
you need to do these things,
do 10 times that amount of thing,
and you'll for sure get that result.
So if you think that you need to knock 10 doors
to get one sale, knock 100 doors,
and you'll guarantee yourself that sale. And I think that's probably like the biggest lesson that Grant Cardone has
given to the world is like the rule of massive action. Again this book was
actually written as a manifesto for himself, right? Like he was designing like
man what do I need to do to get myself out of this terrible situation in which
my net worth almost went to zero and I want to go to get myself out of this terrible situation in which my net worth almost
went to zero and I want to go and you know obviously he's always been a big thinker and
everything like that he just realized I got to have massive action and then on top of that
having these massive goals backed by massive action it actually motivates right like nobody
nobody gets stoked about like hey let's let's have McDonald's for lunch.
No, dude, let's figure out how we can have steak
for lunch every single day, right?
People get, and then when you identify a destination,
this is a key thing, right?
So say you have a goal,
and that goal is you want to have
a million dollars in your bank account. Okay? What if you
change that goal and you're like a hundred million dollars and you wanted
to do in the same time frame. Say it was like two years and you had this two-year
goal to put a million bucks in your bank account or five-year goal to put a
million dollars in your bank account. The action required to put a hundred
million dollars in your bank account is drastically different than the action to get a million dollars in your bank account.
So you can figure out real low ways to get that million bucks over the next five years.
But there are zero low ways to get a hundred million dollars in a bank account in five years.
And so now what you start thinking about is the different vehicles that are going to require,
right?
Like to go and get a million bucks, I can think of a lot of different ways.
It's like, well, I can get a job that pays me $300,000 a year.
I can live off of $100,000 a year, and the extra $200,000 a year goes to savings, and
then I have a million dollars account.
So now I'm thinking real low.
I'm thinking employment.
I'm thinking like sales.
I'm thinking something else, where
that solution for a hundred million dollars doesn't fit the model, right? Like there's nothing in this
world that I can just go and sell or be employed by to be able to get a hundred million dollars in
my bank account. So now I've got to start thinking about like what would provide a hundred million
dollars worth of net value at the end of the day. And so now I'm starting thinking about building rocket ships,
settling Mars, doing all these different things.
And so goals and a plan to get to those goals,
I think that's also very important here.
You can't just have this massive goal of like,
100 million and I'm just gonna work hard.
You're gonna be like, you gotta start thinking about
the different avenues avenues the different like am I am I
taking a jet or am I taking a bicycle? Right? And so it just I think was it
Myron that talks about like if you want to go and run a mile. Oh yeah. Right. So
one of my favorite metaphors in regarding to this is when you pick a distance that you have to go
So say we all selected a mile distance and that was the goal of what you wanted to go and achieve
You have a lot of different ways that you can go a mile you would consider walking a mile
You would consider running a mile getting on a bike and potentially even consider a car just kind of depending how close it is
now you change that distance to on a bike and potentially even consider a car just kind of depending on how close it is. Now you
change that distance to 10,000 miles or a thousand miles. There's no way in heck you are considering
walking, running. You might consider a bike. That would be crazy. That's going to take you, you know,
a long time to be able to do on a bike. At a a minimum your vehicle that you're selecting is a car and
You're most likely looking at a plane right like you're going to Japan here in a little bit
Yep, right would you ever consider swimming to Japan? Absolutely not can't swim either
And and the reason is because the goal is completely different right like if we were in an Olympic sized pool
And we like the other side even though you can't swim very well, you would consider swimming to that distance.
And so like this is the power of the 10X rule and what Grant teaches and is a very sound
principle like think huge, identify vehicles that can get you there and all of a sudden
you're going to be able to back it up with massive clear action.
And I think that goes down to the theory
that we talk about clarity.
You wanna share what clarity does for us?
Hey guys, it's Chris.
If you're finding value in what you're hearing,
go ahead and like and subscribe.
That way people just like you can find this content
for free here on YouTube.
Now let's dive back in the show.
Yeah, we don't believe that there are lazy people out there
We believe that there are unclear people out there 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. So what's what's the best way to create clarity?
Dude, you got to go in and you've got to actually map things out.
You gotta sit down.
Something that we teach in our NLS system is the five-year plan.
A lot of people, they overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what
they can do in five.
And so what we've built out is this amazing system to teach you guys how to go and back
things up from five years out into one year.
Because if you wanted to get $100 million in one year,
that might seem kind of egregious,
but we could probably do it in five years.
So really doing the work, mapping it out,
having a clear road plan,
and I think with all those things,
it's important to have a mentor
that actually can show you the way
that has run the path themselves.
That's why the NLS system works, because we've done it.
But on top of that, the reason why I've
been able to develop the NLS system is because of so many other mentors that took
my hand and helped me along the way, it's like willingness to going back to even
Grant, right, like willingness to admit you're wrong, that you need to make a change.
Those things allow us to look and ask for help versus like ego Chris
at age 27, I wasn't willing to ask for help. Like I thought I knew everything
and therefore I continued to struggle until I you know asked for the for the
the life raft out there. Yeah I think too like know, our audience is mostly business owners, entrepreneurs,
but I'm hoping there's people there
that are like trying to figure out
how do I get from this employee situation
to like the next level.
And I was thinking about this morning, I don't know why,
but it kind of goes along with what we're talking about.
I think if you're in a situation where it's like,
I don't even know how to be a business owner,
an entrepreneur, none of that stuff,
I would say figure out how to make someone else
a ton of money.
If you can make someone tens of millions of dollars,
you will make a lot of money.
You'll learn how to create value.
You'll either get paid for creating that value
or you'll learn how to do it and you can go do it yourself.
And don't fool yourself or lie to yourself.
Just because you're a part of the process
doesn't mean you're making the extra money
or that you're not bringing the extra value.
You have to actually bring value
that would have never existed in whatever capacity you can.
Yep.
And I think the other just caution there is like,
yeah, just because you were a part of it,
doesn't mean you can go out and do it on your own.
I made that mistake as well early on.
I'm like, do all this, man.
I can go and own a business.
There's a lot to it.
And again, the reason why we promote,
be a part of a community,
be among other business owners that are doing it,
so that you can bounce ideas,
share the wins, share the losses.
Those things are just so, so, so important.
I think something interesting too,
and I've thought a lot about this,
is how I grew up versus how I think today.
And I have to contribute.
We've had a lot of challenges, a lot of successes,
a lot of failures, a lot of wins.
And I've always thought like what's changed,
what's different, and the way we grew up was like
be a man of your word.
And what I found interesting is like that's very
contradicting if you've got a big vision.
Because if you have a big vision, you have no way
to like back up what you say you're gonna do, right?
And so I think instead of focusing on being a man of your word,
be a man of your vision.
In other words, what you say always ties you to your vision.
And your vision is big and it excites you.
Right?
A lot of times we create these visions of I'm gonna be a billionaire and
I'm gonna be whatever.
And there's no emotion to it.
There's no excitement to it. There's no excitement to it.
It's just numbers that maybe impress someone else,
or that you think people will look at you differently.
But what really would get you excited every day
and make your vision tied to emotions
that you can't shake?
Love it.
I love it.
Is there times in your guys' life
that you remember of taking massive action?
100%.
Like there's been so many.
One, right now with what we're building with Next Level,
like because we've gotten so clear in the last few months
of exactly what our mission is, what our direction is,
like the levels of action that I'm taking right now
in the business, freaking dialed in.
Obviously, SolGen, right?
Like, because we were so clear,
just going back to the concept of like,
clarity triggers action,
and because you're just so excited,
like you know exactly that if I do this,
I get this result, if I do do this I get this result if I do this I get this result and you're going after big crazy
hairy audacious goals
Yeah, I'd say I'd say for me. It's like once you because I feel like I've taken massive action in my lows
When things are just going horrible to get out right with cells there's there's highs and there's lows
And I've also taken massive action when in on the highs
and continue to like find the next level.
I think what's important is to realize like,
where am I lying to myself?
And how do I shake it?
And how do I take action that I know will continue
making me move forward?
One of my favorite examples of massive action,
it was actually both of our lives.
So when I went through bankruptcy,
we had immediately launched another company
called K2K Alarm.
And so it was at the moment just under Darrell's name
because I was going through all these collections
and trying to get it all out.
But during that time, it was one of the most sweet times
of my life in which it was just getting back to the grind.
I remember going every single day up to Quincy Washington. It was in the middle of December.
I was in the process of filing bankruptcy, started the process in November, finally filed in January.
But during those two, three months, we were out knocking doors in a foot, two feet of snow,
selling alarm systems, trying to pay the bills and like
those are like some of the sweetest like most like core memories I look back and
just think of like that is when like I knew there was something greater and I
just have to push through and do whatever it takes to get there.
Yeah I can remember the doors, I can remember the people, I know exactly the times you're talking about.
And it was like, I can remember thinking like,
I'd have the thought come in like, why am I doing this?
And I'd immediately take that thought, throw it away,
like, I know why I'm doing this.
I've got to push through, I've got to figure out,
like I got to get myself through this
and this is just part of the process.
And it sucks, you have to repeat that,
sometimes multiple times,
where you're like, dang, what I thought it was going to work
isn't working.
And I got to push through this.
But it always takes you a step further,
whether sometimes you realize it or not.
When you guys were on the doors, what
was the feeling going through that again?
I mean, you guys were building up something special.
You guys had a great vision
Chris you just came out of like this crazy bankruptcy situation
But I want to know when you're on these doors you kind of have to start over essentially What are you feeling and experiencing on every door? You know it was humbling
But it also set the table for kind of the rest of my life is
that like When you scale a business,
you stop doing a lot of like the ground level work, right?
But the mentality that this helped create was like,
I never wanna put myself above
or being willing to do the work.
And so even with what we're building right now
with Next Level, right? being willing to do the work. And so even with what we're building right now
with Next Level, right, like I am committed,
like yes, I wanna have this huge sales team again, right?
Like we built a 300-man sales team
and I wanna get Next Level back up to that point
and have coaches and everything else.
But in the meantime, as I'm building it,
like I've gotta be willing
to get back on the proverbial doors
and sit down and do sales calls and coaching calls
and everything else with community members.
And so, even right now, I'm going through that.
I'm back. Even, even right now I mentally have just in the last month been been going back to Quincy
I love it
Going back to quincy
Dude we should uh
Go to quincy. No, we should put a map in our office with directions to quincy
Which you don't understand about Quincy,
it's a freaking two and a half hour drive each way.
So you have a lot of time to think every day.
But yeah, I think that's just like a key principle
if people can just like get over their ego because dude, I got a lot of freaking egos still to this day and
And I got a lot of reasons
Why I shouldn't go back to Quincy
right like
already done it
Got two nine-figure exits under the belt. Got plenty of money in the bank
account. Got assets on assets on assets. I've got relationships with guys like
Grant Cardone. I've got all all the things that that what most people would
say matter but like and then I just got to check my ego and say yo none
of that crap matters what matters that you're always willing always willing to
go back to Quincy no matter what no matter where you're at in life and figure
it out figure out like how to scale because like when you grow a business
you have to go through that process if you're have to go through that process. If you're unwilling to go through that process,
your business will never grow.
Darrell, when you were and Chris getting back together and starting K2K up in Quincy, you
probably had every reason to brush Chris off and be like, you know what, I watched what
happened. I don't want to be a part of that anymore. I'm going to do my own thing.
I'm going to build my own thing.
I'm going to be a part of something else.
What was it about Chris in that situation
that made you want to work with that again?
There's two things that I can think of top of the head
that have always excited me about working with Chris.
One is he's a man of his vision.
He loves creating vision.
He loves talking about vision, vision, vision.
And I do, too.
I think what I like about it is Chris's vision.
It's like I know he's going to push the the limits which keeps me uncomfortable and keeps me pushing the limits
So that's what I love about that
to
He's always hungry
like he's always hungry no matter what situation we're in it's like what more can I get and
the competitive nature and me
Thrives in that because I'm like oh he, he wants more. I want more than him.
And it's like, I mean, there's some of the dumbest arguments we've had is just, just, just competitiveness.
Let's like argue about this or let's, let's, let's fight about that.
Just to like be competitive.
But it's like that hunger that he has in life is like something that I've fed off
of and it's pushed me and I think then that pushes him and then, and then we're
just keep pushing each other
I think that's where I
Don't know if I
Identified it, but I connected with it early on and that's I think what's allowed us to continue working together
That's why I still work with them. It's like I told the Chris. I'm like dude. I can go do other stuff, but like I
Love I love pushing each other. I love feeling uncomfortable around you.
Like I love putting myself in a situation
where I don't know what's gonna happen,
but I'm like finding new levels of experience
and opportunities.
Hey guys, it's Chris.
Hey, a lot of you leave comments asking for help.
Do me a real quick favor.
Shoot me a text at 509-374-7554 that's 509-374-7554
shoot me a text I'll answer and help you with whatever you need don't worry I got
you back let's go back to the show baby. I think that's awesome to hear because I
think you know just as a normal person probably your knee-jerk reaction is to brush people
off based off of their failures, especially big failures.
But what I really have enjoyed viewing your guys' relationship and hearing specifically
that is you didn't let that failure define your guys' relationship, who Chris is as a
person or yourself as a person instead it
I mean, I'll tell you I'll tell you frankly like I remember making a decision
I remember working with Chris when he was a sales rep. I'm like
He is so demanding
Right why because he like he has a he has a big vision and you can't be like you can't settle
For for mediocre if you got a big vision. you can't settle for mediocre
if you got a big vision.
I didn't really understand at the time.
At the time I'm like, dude, he's so demanding,
but he's pushing harder and harder than anyone else.
I'm like, all right, I either have to be willing
to work with that and accept that is 100%
what I'm going to work with
or completely repel it and go find people that are easy to work with that
you know are I can I can control that are you know satisfied with with you
know easy or normal or standard and I knew with working with Chris I'd never get that.
Let's go. So I remember like making the decision of like alright I'm all in I
want more people like Chris around me than less which means I'm willing to
accept hard challenging complicated people who can cut deeper, who can punch harder than anyone else.
Let's go. Guys, we appreciate you watching a couple takeaways from the
episode. Realize that your biggest failures could lead to your largest
success if you can buy into an incredible vision, take massive action,
and always be willing to go back to Quincy. Until next time.
