The G&E Show

The Business of Marriage: If you ignore your business it will begin to fail. The same is true with your marriage. Many couples live together but aren’t actually together. You don’t get together to be alone. If you’re going to do things little, whether in business or marriage, it will die. You must put purpose ahead of everything for success. What is the purpose of your marriage? Huffington Post puts out dumb articles, giving tips for marriage such as to not get even, to not blow things out of proportion, to not play on the other’s weaknesses—but none of these matter if you don’t have your purpose settled. You need to get your purpose in order and get your money right. 1.Don’t take marriage advice from the Huffington Post 2.Find your purpose with your spouse 3.Redefine your purpose together frequently 4.Get your money right We live on an economic planet, not a love planet. You can’t pay for things with hugs!

Can you handle pressure? I’m under a lot of pressure with 10X GrowthCon coming this weekend. Sometimes you need to let a room burn in order to save the rest of the house. Keep the main thing the main thing. When the kitchen is on fire, you don’t worry about the marriage, you worry about the kitchen. When you have a deadline you are confronted with choices. Which plate do you juggle? Sometimes you can’t change the tire today and you need to let it sit and deal with other things first. Let things slide for a period of time. Pressure causes one of two things: 1.Pressure will cause cracks; it will damage you. 2.Pressure creates diamonds. Will you let pressure make or break you?

G and E Show: Are You a Power Couple? Urban dictionary definitions a power couple as those encouraging goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together; they do bad ass things together and plot to take over the world; they have super powers and manipulate situations to fit their needs. Are you a power couple? Are you doing extreme things? 4 signs you are a power couple: 1) You are each other’s biggest fans. 2) You work hard and play hard. 3) People have heard of you that don’t even know you. 4) You’re competitive with each other.

Are you colliding in a relationship? Does your significant other have opposite dreams and aspirations? You have power and your partner has power. If the king and queen aren’t on the same page, the empire is in trouble. Dynasties usually crumble from within. You must know your role. The king would not do the role of the court jester. Every empire has different roles, and every role is important in helping the empire flourish. Why should you build an empire? When do you exile someone? How big should your empire be? These questions and more are discussed in this episode of the G an E Show.

Be responsible and be honest—if you have a bunch of broken people around you—the ship will sink. If you want a great campsite, you have to get rid of the critters. Get rid of the alien on the ship! What does being responsible mean? Responsible means: 1) Having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role 2) Being the primary cause of something and so able to be blamed or credited for it. 3) Of a job or position, involving important duties, independent decision-making, or control over others.

129: Turn Your Hobby Into Income

Commit First, Figure the Rest Out Later – The G & E Show: If you could figure everything out at the beginning that would be great, but it’s not always possible. To have a baby, you commit—you can’t figure it all out first. Many times in life you have to figure things out later, the main thing is you have to commit now. People who want to go to 10X GrowthCon can’t be worrying about the hotel/airfare and stuff yet, they just need to commit and get their ticket. You want to get rich? Commit, then you’ll figure it out. If you are approached about doing an interview, before you ever find out what the topics are on, commit to doing the interview. 1. Commit to every opportunity you are given. 2. Then show up and figure it out. You’ll quickly begin to see the majority of people who complain about things being bad never show up.

Do you define a purpose and then add to that, or do you have 8 or 9 different purposes? You must clarify your purpose. It’s easier to have one purpose and then add things to that one purpose. For example, Grant doesn’t define himself in a box and set limits. If the purpose is great enough, the small stuff will fall away. There is one key thing to remember: When building an empire, the very first foundation is to have a purpose. Set up your life and drop those roles you play into that life. You aren’t just a mom or just a student. Don’t get stuck in one identity. Also remember a solopreneur won’t change the world. If you want to change the world you need other people working for you. Take on your identity and don’t wander for years. Find your one purpose, that one big thing!

In this edition of the G and E Show Grant and Elena Cardone talk about burnout. Why do people burnout? You can get burned out in your job or in a relationship. Sit down with a piece of paper and take an inventory of your life. What is your purpose? The “burnout” starts because you become no longer obsessed with fulfilling your monster purpose. You need something new. Even if you are winning, you need to focus on your purpose. Don’t seek validation from others, self-nourish yourself. If people are telling you that you will burn out, that you need to take a vacation, that you work too much—don’t listen. Only you know what your purpose is and how much energy you truly have. Never measure your workload based on what average people do. Once you reaffirm your purpose, you immediately feel rejuvenated and excited. You are not a candle!

How do you get on the same page as your spouse? What is the biggest difficulty you have in investing in the expansion of your business and relationship? The moment you quit talking about where you are going, you get off target. It can’t be one person doing one thing and another person doing another thing—It has to be together. Every relationship the decision comes to stay the same or go forward. Staying the same is really code for going backward. Grow or go!

Who sucks the life out of you? Have you dated a vampire who sucked out all of your energy? Or have you been the vampire to someone else? If you are on purpose you won’t suck the life out of someone else. It’s only when you don’t have enough going on that you look to someone else to fulfill you. Are you doing the things that fulfill you? People have to have their own life. If your girl is needy, she needs to find her purpose. It’s impossible for another person to fill you up. Here are 3 steps to dealing with relational vampires: 1. Confront—You have to confront it. If you can’t confront, how are you going to do anything? Have the conversation with yourself and look at you. You picked that person, you needed the needy person. Nothing happens to you, things happen because of you. 2. Communicate—You have to talk with the person. No email, no text, just sit down in person and have the hard conversation. They will be defensive at first. 3. Commit to something. Find something you can agree on and work together toward it. Help each other with your dreams and if they’ve lost sight of their dreams, help them rediscover what their dreams are.

Who do you read? Who do you study? Why do you ask for advice in the first place? Many people are looking for confirmation—they know what they should do but don’t want to do it so they are seeking encouragement to do something else. You get advice from either legitimate or illegitimate sources. Just because someone is in your family doesn’t mean you need to get their advice. You need to filter where you get your advice from.Two main takeaways from today’s show: 1. How much have you been influenced by the world around you? Every day you get content from a variety of sources. TV, radio, internet, co-workers—there are 1,000 things that can get in your head. Understand the things that have influenced you and seek to control that. 2. Never take advice from a quitter. If someone who has quit on relationships, don’t take advice from them on relationships. Don’t read 25 books from 25 people, that will just make you confused. Be selective on where you get advice from and read 25 books from one person. Go deep before going wide.

Today on the G and E Show Grant and Elena Cardone discuss the need to keep your eyes on the future, not on the past. Grant constantly looks into the future, sees what he wants, and backs into what he has to get done right now to make that future a reality. If you want to get more done, see the future and you’ll see what needs to be done now. Take time out of everything, act on things when they come in and do the hardest things first. Don’t delay and procrastinate. Meditation doesn’t produce results because it’s impossible to be in the future if you are only thinking in the present. If you lack excitement, it’s because you don’t have enough to look forward to in the future. 3 Steps to Prepare for Your Future: 1. Commit to getting more done. 2. Quit making excuses. 3. Be consistent.
