Welcome to a new episode of Next Level Pros! In this episode, Chris and the team discuss Grant Cardone's journey from losing his $10 million net worth to building a billion-dollar empire. They dive into the key lessons from Grant's experience, including the power of the 10x rule, the importance of personal accountability, and the role of massive action and goal-setting in achieving success.

Highlights:

"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, you know, insurance for the average American today, like if you have three months of savings, you think you're good, you're not good."

"I realized I was like that I fucked up, and that personal accountability, right? This is not on anybody else. This is on me." 

"When I wrote this, this book was not really written for other people. I was literally trying to figure out what, what am I going to do to get a bigger audience? How am I going to scale to other industries, right?" 

"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."

Welcome to a new episode of Next Level Pros! In this special episode, the roles are reversed!

Chris shares his extensive entrepreneurial journey, from his early days of door-to-door sales to building and scaling a multi-million dollar solar power business.

"Go and fail as much as possible. If you're living at home, this is the perfect time to fail, right? Your safety net is pretty strong, right? You don't have to worry about food on the table. You don't have to be worrying about a roof over your head, but you can go out and you can fail."

"Transparency is one of the biggest things that I learned from my mentor Todd at Vivint. A lot of business owners operate in the dark, meaning that they only allow a certain amount of information to go to their employees, and they treat them, probably like they're dumb."

"For me, that's what I took from the education system, and I've been able to apply, and that's where I would say most of my success has come from, is being constantly hungry for learning."

"You will not lose your job to AI. You will lose your job to somebody that knows how to use AI, and that person will be more and more efficient because of it."

Jerome has built an impressive $600 million real estate portfolio over the past 28 years, focusing on sustainable and workforce housing. What's fascinating about Jerome's journey is his unique perspective on working with immigrant business partners versus those from the US.

Welcome to a new episode of The Founder Podcast! In today's episode, Chris discusses how to build an effective accountability chart for your business. Unlike traditional organizational charts, accountability charts focus on roles and processes rather than just people. This approach helps in managing growth, avoiding silos, and creating clear paths for accountability and communication within the company. He also shares his personal experiences and provides practical steps to design an accountability chart tailored to your business needs and future goals.

https://nextlevelhomepros.com/june25thworkshop 

Highlights:

"The fault of that is you're relying on people and not processes and roles."

"We overestimate what we can do in one year and vastly underestimate what we can do in five to 10 years."

"Any one person can manage between three and eight people."

Welcome to a new episide of The Founder Podcast.  Join us in this episode where Lauren Von, CEO of Quintessa Marketing, shares her journey of integrating deep-seated generosity with business success. From giving away half of her company's profits to the impactful changes it has brought within her team and community, Lauren?s story is proof to how business can be a powerful force for good. Join us to discover how generosity has not only shaped her business strategy but also fueled its growth to incredible heights.

"Giving away 50% of your profit, that's painful, there's a lot of pain in that. But what's amazing is, I have helped more because I felt called to mission work at a very young age."

"This will be a billion-dollar company. I get very clear on my vision. You don?t like my team? Great, I?ll go find the best. I'll go find it and scale it."
