Publisher's Summary

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.

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 huge philanthropist, live in a mansion, 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 achieve balance and take it easy. But this has really just given us an excuse to be unexceptional.

If you want real success, you have to be obsessed and know how to harness that power 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

You can be obsessed...or you can be average. It’s your choice. Why not start going full-throttle towards your obsession today?

Like a good gut punch

Grant is certainly intense and unconventional. At times I found his obsession with money slightly over the top but I also found it to be refreshingly honest. I love the way he rounds out the book in the last few chapters. I was left motivated to make the adjustments to my life and business needed to move out of average and into obsession.

Grant Delivers ( but who is surprised by that)

Just by listening to Grant Cardone motivates me and make me reflect on "my" today. I won't forget yesterday's wins but who cares we need to focus on today's wins and how to get them. Thanks

This book will Change your life

This book has exposed to me that it's ok to be absolutely completely obsessed by my dreams & my goals and not let anyone tell me otherwise.

Grant talks about being obsessed with everything in your life & not only business. He truly makes you want to live a life of excellence and pushes you to think bigger for yourself.

Read it again and again and again

Must read for all who want more than just average!

Grant Cardone is reading it!!! Amazing personal touches and after this I'm convinced every author should read their books! They would get their message across so much better and this book is a witness to that 😊 Highly recommend to everyone, it will give you clarity and confirm being obsessed with the right things is a good thing! Don't aim to be just normal, aim higher! The world needs you!!!!

Straight up!

I had no problem getting through this book. In fact, I will likely digest and consume this book over and over. It isn't filled with facts and studies and science. It's just a straight forward illustration of what works and what didn't work for GC. He's a little over the top, but as he said, the book is about being obsessed, so one shouldn't expect any less.
