11 Limiting Beliefs And What To Do About Them
11 Limiting Beliefs And What To Do About Them What we say to ourselves sometimes is how we make sense of not living to our fullest potential. And understand what these 11 phrases I pulled from an older blog post of Grant's actually mean will revolutionize the way you interpret some everyday comments you hear day in and day out. Take note of these limiting beliefs and ask yourself, do you say these often? What level of agreement do you have with them? Are you allowing this line of thinking to keep you from creating the life you want and deserve?

The shocking truth behind why you're not getting paid
The shocking truth behind why you're not getting paid "Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough to not quit." -George Carlin There is a very simple pragmatic truth to the reason why you're not getting paid enough. This truth can be better explained with a short story. Have you ever heard the one about a plumber who went to a homeowner, whacked a pipe with a wrench and ended a leak? “That will be $200,” he says. The homeowner replied, “You were only here for a few minutes and I only saw you hit the pipe with your wrench. I demand an itemized bill.” The plumber wrote the following...

#SalesTips Handling the competition
Handling the competition:
“Get your prospects feeling good about you rather than bad about the competition.”
-Emily Sabet @ Solar Technologies
Never apologize for what you really want
Never apologize for what you really want
SUCCESS TIP FROM YOUR UNCLE G: Never apologize for what you really want!
Visualize your ideal, dream life and never apologize for it. [STOP READING NOW: Take a real moment and really do this. Look at your present situation and compare it with your ideal, dream life. No limits. No restrictions. Money's not an issue.] What do you see? Where are you at? Who are you with? How are you living? What's going on in your future? Whatever came to mind... If you want a nice sports car, multiple luxurious penthouses and properties or a six-figure residual income you have nothing to apologize for. If you want to be able to travel every 3 months, give back to charity, have an amazing spouse, build lasting and meaningful relationships, and leave a huge legacy… Let Grant and I tell you right now—don’t let anyone tell you that...

How do you dominate?
SMALL GOALS WILL ALWAYS LEAVE YOU COMPETING WITH OTHERS A STERN WARNING FROM GRANT CARDONE: How do you dominate? It starts with your thinking. How many times do we see people set goals and then either never get started or bail on them? Frequently and regularly, most of us have been warned against setting goals “too high.” The reality is that if you start small, you are probably going to go small. People’s failure (myself and Grant included) to think big enough usually means they will never act big enough, often enough, or persistently enough! After all, who gets excited about so-called realistic goals?

Seizing Control Today
Seizing Control Today. Today, put 100% of your attention ONLY on the things YOU can control. Focus on what you have immediate control over and on what you can do, not what you can't.

How to be an effective salesperson
What makes a good salesperson? If you're new to sales or if you have been in it just long enough to start wondering if you've made a wrong turn on the career path, then stay tuned because we're about to give you a mindset that you can adapt to get back on track.

Now, you may have heard Grant Cardone talk about this before but it’s important to understand that in order to be an effective salesperson you have to believe in other people.

How to close with confidence

The only person who can create your future is you (but we can help)
Ya know, when you think about it, most of what people are afraid of has never, and probably will never even happen to them. Which is nuts when you consider that most of those fears come from something that happened to someone else.
It is because of these irrational fears that most people in general never make any attempts to bring their dreams to life… They are too afraid to even try because they’ve been convinced that nothing good can happen to them.
Well let me tell you this and put your mind at ease and under a little pressure all at once! And the pressure is a good thing because what creates a diamond? Pressure!

One proven way to increase sales (and most certainly gross profit)
One proven way to increase sales (and most certainly gross profit) One proven way to increase sales and most certainly gross profit is by presenting options to your prospect in your proposals. Options can be a great way to capture deals that you are missing now. Keep in mind, when a buyer says “No”, often times they are just saying “No” to what you have presented, and in my experience this arises more often than not when only one option is presented by the sales person. Choices support decision making." -Grant Cardone Options give your buyer the ability to compare and in most cases lock in on what they really want and need, then select the package that is most appropriate for solving their problem...

Grant Cardone's Perfect Sales Process
Grant Cardone's Perfect Sales Process
For fifty years, there has been very little change in how people sell things. Most of the information is dated, with encouragement to control the customer and spend long periods of time with them, believing the longer you spend with them the more indebted they become. The reality is that people have changed over the last fifty years, so the sales process must change with them.

You're in sales. What do you expect from yourself? What do you need to be successful? If you're not seeing the results you want but the effort is there, maybe you're not getting your needs met.

Grant Cardone's 10 Commandments of Sales There's an infographic I saw on LinkediN recently that reminded me of an ancient blog post of Grant's that was probably from somewhere between 2010 & 2011 called The 10 Commandments of Sales Success. So I dug up the blog post and... Remember that scene in Mel Brook's History of The World where he's playing Moses and comes down off the mountain with 15 Commandments, drops a tablet and immediately reduces the number to 10? Hysterical, right? So, as I was looking at the two lists I noticed a slight difference between them. Somewhere between 2010 and 2021, the 10 Commandments of Sales changed or morphed or perhaps fell victim to another set of commandments (like marketing) and got repurposed. All I can tell you at this point is that there's probably 12 commandments of sales here, not 10 and here they are... https://cardonesolutions.com/10-commandments-of-sales/
