Grant Cardone

Grant Cardone is an author, public speaker, and entrepreneur who has made a name for himself with his inspiring books on sales, leadership, business, and personal finance. Born in LaPlace, Louisiana, in 1958, Cardone developed an early fascination with money and business when watching his Honduran-immigrant father heavily invest in the stock market. Cardone eventually left his small town pursuit of business to attend college, first at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, LA, then at the University of Houston, wrapping up his undergraduate studies with a degree in business.

After earning his degree, Cardone decided to pursue a career in sales, earning his first job as a sales manager at a computer parts supplier in Houston. Not long after, he moved back to south Louisiana and began working in automotive sales, eventually becoming an award-winning car salesperson, taking the title of "number one" in the country on numerous occasions. His success as a car salesman propelled him onto the national stage, as he began to write books and speak publicly about his own strategies for success.

Buoyed by his rising public profile, Grant Cardone opened a series of real estate investments in the late 80's, which paved the way for him to become the multimillionaire he is today. Cardone has since went on to write and self-publish several books about business and sales, including The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure, Sell or Be Sold: How to get your way in Business and in Life, and The Closer's Survival Guide: 101 Ways to Sell More, Close Big Deals, and Live a Successful Life.

Each of Grant Cardone’s books revolves around the concept of ‘Ten times’ everything: your focus, effort, and energy, combined with the power of entrepreneurship, will inevitably lead to success. When trying to reach his goals, Grant advises readers to keep a positive mindset, remain realistic, and take massive action. He puts a special emphasis on the idea that success should not be measured in money, but rather in experiences, relationships, and the significance of the work that was accomplished.

In addition to his books, Grant Cardone also puts out an incredibly popular YouTube channel where he gives tips on productivity, leadership, and sales. He also offers his services as an advisor that helps individuals and corporations develop their sales and marketing strategies. Aside from his books, Cardone is probably best known for his work in sales and business training, a field he has been dominating for decades.

Grant Cardone is one of today’s most successful thought leaders, offering a necessary and realistic perspective on the power of business and sales. His books and advice have the power to inspire and to give readers the tools and confidence they need to achieve success.
