The Cardone Zone

In today's episode of the Cardone Zone Elena and I talk about the need to always look to add value to your relationships. How do you add value to your relationships? One decision at a time. You can add value to your marriage not only by doing certain things but by NOT doing things as well: getting drunk, spending money, getting into accidents. The more value you add to your relationship, the better your relationship will be and the more value you will receive. Remember this, give, give, give, and the world will open up all it's treasures to you. The same principle holds true in your relationship—give, give, give and you will begin to get back!

You need a job that lets you earn commission, something that pays you for production. If you're in a salary job, find something symbiotic so you're making money in your side venture when not at work. You have to sit down and write out where you spend money every month and figure out your bills. If you won't even commit to writing this down you won't get to $100k, because you're not taking even one easy step towards being rich. Remember, the actions you take deliver the results you will get. If you don't have a plan you'll end up chasing trends and lose money. Until you have 100k in a bank stay broke and only spend money on bare necessities so you can focus on developing skills to make you more money. Listen in for much more!

Supporting your man is not just about taking care of the kids, it's about supporting him in everything he's doing. Elena looks to push Grant in order to make him better. Any positive relationship should make both the husband and the wife BETTER. Look to build an empire together—because you're a team. If you're not going to be a team, then why be married? Look to support each other! Look at the big picture and step outside of yourself. Powerful women flow power to their man.

Power Players with Donovin Darius and Grant Cardone: Economically, Donovin Darius started at the bottom. Your ability to earn is based on 3 things: the need for what you do, your ability to do it, and how difficult it is to replace you. Sports helped change Donovin's life economically as he was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars and had a successful career playing in the NFL. He made sure to play at a level that he was difficult to replace. He now runs a foundation that runs football camps to help kids on leadership and life skills. He teaches to redefine yourself, get occupied, and get noticed. Although a person may have pure intentions, they lack the required mindset and action steps to capitalize upon their great potential. You must have the right mindset necessary for success and to dominate—in the NFL or in business. In life, you win and you learn—you only lose when you don't learn a lesson or you give up.
