The Cardone Zone

Power Players with Donovin Darius and Grant Cardone: Economically, Donovin Darius started at the bottom. Your ability to earn is based on 3 things: the need for what you do, your ability to do it, and how difficult it is to replace you. Sports helped change Donovin's life economically as he was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars and had a successful career playing in the NFL. He made sure to play at a level that he was difficult to replace. He now runs a foundation that runs football camps to help kids on leadership and life skills. He teaches to redefine yourself, get occupied, and get noticed. Although a person may have pure intentions, they lack the required mindset and action steps to capitalize upon their great potential. You must have the right mindset necessary for success and to dominate—in the NFL or in business. In life, you win and you learn—you only lose when you don't learn a lesson or you give up.

This is an unpopular viewpoint but it's true: You're NOT just supposed to love your partner the way they are. Really?! It's true. Why are you suppose to love them as they are? With all their flaws? What if they're lazy? What if they're broke and have a gambling addiction? Accept them as they are? You don't have to love someone as they are. Your marriage won't last if you both don't change. Be the best you can for you and you'll be the best for someone else. Here are two rules to remember: 1. Don't accept people just the way they are. Push them to the top. 2. When you take care of yourself it's a gift for your partner.

Everyone is battling something, and in different areas of life—financial, familial, health, etc.—you are in recovery zone or discovery zone. In a marathon, everyone starts running at the beginning, but when you get to mile 15 it's just the Kenyans out front. It's because they've battled and gone through some hard training. Coming from Compton, Tim knows small beginnings but working through struggle defines him. At the age of 8 he went to Disney Land and became exposed to a new world—new possibilities. There are two ways we grow: education and exposure. By choosing to think big and positive even in small places, he is who is today. Shift your satellite dish to what's possible. Be a happy dishwasher and the real you will make a demand on the person that you'll become.
