About this ebook
From the millionaire entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule comes a bold and contrarian wake-up call for anyone truly ready for success. One of the 7 best motivational books of 2016, according to Inc. Magazine.
Before Grant Cardone built five successful companies (and counting), became a multimillionaire, and wrote bestselling books... he was broke, jobless, and drug-addicted.
Grant had grown up with big dreams, but friends and family told him to be more reasonable and less demanding. If he played by the rules, they said, he could enjoy everyone else’s version of middle class success. But when he tried it their way, he hit rock bottom.
Then he tried the opposite approach. He said NO to the haters and naysayers and said YES to his burning, outrageous, animal obsession. He reclaimed his obsession with wanting to be a business rock star, a super salesman, a huge philanthropist. He wanted to live in a mansion and even own an airplane.
Obsession made all of his wildest dreams come true. And it can help you achieve massive success too. As Grant says, we're in the middle of an epidemic of average. The conventional wisdom is to seek balance and take it easy. But that has really just given us an excuse to be unexceptional.
If you want real success, you have to know how to harness your obsession to rocket to the top. This book will give you the inspiration and tools to break out of your cocoon of mediocrity and achieve your craziest dreams. Grant will teach you how to:
· Set crazy goals—and reach them, every single day.
· Feed the beast: when you value money and spend it on the right things, you get more of it.
· Shut down the doubters—and use your haters as fuel.
Whether you're a sales person, small business owner, or 9-to-5 working stiff, your path to happiness runs though your obsessions. It's a simple choice: be obsessed or be average.

Grant Cardone book sucks, and at the same time it manages to be brilliant. Hey Grant, you are boring. I do believe that we must stand for what we want, and I will keep my baby steps towards personal success rather than being obsessed full time. Still, for more egocentric that this book might feel like, it pushes us to reflect about our choices and want more.

I love this book. I believe this to be one of Grant Cardones Masterpiece that will be a classic for years and generations to come. In order for you to be successful in any endeavor YOU HAVE to Be OBSESSED. If you want to be average go ahead dont buy this book and continue complaining about your current lifestyle. However IF you are sick and tired of mediocrity, barely scraping enough pennies to get by, not spending time with the ones you love and want more FREEDOM and CHOICES YOU NEED THIS BOOK! Ty GC.

I literally took what he said into my everyday life and realted back Why I am economically where I am. Everyone needs to read or better yet listen. Fanatic. Ill buy the hard copy one day to own. 5/5
