<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It was Wednesday at my office when a text message came in, and read \u201cManuel, can you be in Miami by tomorrow morning?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The message was from a client and friend, Brandon Dawson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Brandon is a business partner of Grant Cardone and the head of Cardone Ventures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I replied \u201cOf course! What\u2019s up?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Brandon told me Grant and his team were holding an event with some of the biggest business and entrepreneurial influencers in the world, and he wanted to personally invite me to join them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n My mind was blown.<\/span><\/p>\n Going from being broke, and bankrupt to now getting invitations to hang out, learn from, and collaborate with some of the smartest, most powerful people in the business world.<\/span><\/p>\n I tell you about this because it\u2019s an example of what\u2019s possible when you dedicate yourself to personal improvement and helping the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s what I did around 2010.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I doubled-down on self-improvement, started studying what it took to be a \u2018real\u2019 entrepreneur, and what it meant to be truly successful.<\/span><\/p>\n Fast-forward to today:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It does take hard work, but more than that\u2026it takes smart work and the right thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n So, let me leave you with three lessons I picked up from Grant while I was in Miami.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There should be no reason why you\u2019re thinking small because your dreams, accomplishments and achievements are only as real as you think they are!<\/span><\/p>\n When you think bigger it opens the doors to possibilities. We all have abilities of our own, and it\u2019s with those abilities that we can create in the world we live in.<\/span><\/p>\n I may not be a billionaire, but I do know that the most successful entrepreneurs in the world aren\u2019t where they are by thinking small, that\u2019s for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n So if you have an idea in your head about how big you want to create your business, think bigger\u2013or as Grant Cardone would say, 10x it!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When Grant made the point that he wanted to collaborate more, he started when he invited numerous influential people to Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n Personally, this is something that I\u2019ve been working at and something I\u2019m always open to whenever I go to these events like the one in Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n But collaborating with powerful people is an experience like nothing else. It\u2019s flowing power to power, and even leveraging each other’s audiences in some cases.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the most strategic things you can do is collaborate with other like minded individuals, especially in business, and if you\u2019re smart you\u2019ll collaborate with others that know something you don\u2019t to learn a thing or two!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If there\u2019s one thing to put your attention on it\u2019s your team because a CEO is only as strong as their team.<\/span><\/p>\n So if we make sure our team is winning, that means everybody is winning, and if everybody wins then that\u2019s when you have a thriving organization.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Making sure your team is winning could mean having proper systems in place to set them up for success or it could mean rewarding them with bonuses for targets they hit.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, your definition of success and their definition of success should align and both of you should be making sure that it gets executed!<\/span><\/p>\n If you really want a prosperous organization working like an unstoppable machine charging towards the future, then everybody needs to win.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]![\"miami-1\"](\"https:\/\/agmagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/miami-1.gif\")
