Be Obsessed Or Be Average: Why Work-Life Balance is for Losers

I've been a follower of Grant Cardone for around 18 months and in that time have read 10X Rule, Sell or Be Sold and If You're Not First You're Last. However, Be Obsessed or Be Average is in my opinion his best book yet. All the others are must reads too, but in this one you can't fail to be inspired by the guys energy and passion. You can literally feel it coming off the pages at you. I personally love the way that GC isn't afraid to speak his mind, and give the reader a wake up call. The book outlines the various mindset and practical components required to get obsessed and avoid obscurity, mediocrity and of course "average". If you read this book and can't get your motor running then I'm not sure what will. GC walks his talk. Anyone who has seen him live or on video can't deny that the guy is obsessed with what he does! Thanks for a great book GC.

Just finished reading this book and I had to say it was great, The information was priceless but it was slightly all over the place without much structure to it but hey! I just jotted down the key notes needed and thats all you need! But why the full 5 stars? Grant has changed the way I view life and money and we should all be so grateful to have someone out there who is telling the truth which may hurt many people but it surly healed my innocent self! They call him uncle G but I call him my "White Uncle G! as I am a pure Chinaman! But I had to say I wish I did have such an uncle to guide me through the true reality of life and shine the light on me which this book did just that. Finally I now have the permission to be obsessed thanks to uncle G. Your Chinese nephew!

This book is amazing! I was always obsessed with few things in life, and unfortunately was denying them and trying to suppress them. It opened up my eyes to that being obsessed actually is a great thing if that is a positive obsession (yes, you read it right, there are positive obsessions, read it and you'll see it ;) ). Replacing my negative obsession and focusing on to the positive ones is changing my life every day. One of the best books by Grant Cardone. Brilliant. Now I'm proud to be obsessed!

I read other reviews that initially put me off buying this book. Things like its the same as his other books and he hasn't fully thought the book through before releasing it, but I'm glad I bought it anyway. I've listened to 10x (a really good book in my opinion) and feel this is sufficiently different. Grant has achieved some massive goals and I, personally, like his attitude to goals, life and achievements- basically don't let anything get in your way. Absolutely nothing! His style won't be for everyone. If he offends you, I don't think he cares. It's not that he's a prat, just that if you don't agree with him, he's fine with that. Overall, I enjoyed it. Asked myself some really good questions as a result of reading it and plan to read it again in the future.

I was at a point in my entrepreneurial life where I was starting to question my ambition and thirst for excellence. Reading this book rekindled the fire inside me - it gave me comfort that it’s fine for me to be thirsty and pursue my ambitions, despite everyone around me has been telling me to slow down. I am so grateful for this practical guide from Grant Cardone.

I'm personally big fan of this author . It just gives you that motivation to do what you want . Love it as pre-bed reading or listening . If you're thinking about changing your life and missing the right mentor , you won't go wrong with this .

I own all of cardone's books and this is most definitely up there as being the best one he's written. I myself have only been a salesman for a month and after taking everything on that he writes about my managers are wondering how I'm selling and closing deals at a better rate than people that have been there for years. This book covers everything from the idea of becoming obsessed to the struggles associated with working with average people. The main lesson this teaches you is to give yourself permission to become obsessed with success instead of viewing it as destructive. It's a book I will constantly come back to and re-read on a regular basis, as I do with all of his books.

I love Grant Cardones work, books, courses and he has highly influenced my ongoing learning and business direction more than any, other trainer, author, mentor, this book is a good book and has some great information in to help anyone, my only reservation about this book i, this book can echo a lot of what you may have already read if you have read his other top notch books the 10x rule, if your not fist your last, sell or be sold, . Still worth a read, and to be honest if you read 10x then you should already be firing on all cylinders, reading this can just help add some fuel to the fire.

Al margen de los habituales comentarios arrogantes típicos del autor, alguien que superó su adicción a las drogas y se convirtió en multimillonario, el libro representa un golpe en la línea de flotación de la cultura de la relajación que impera en ciertos ámbitos laborales. Su idea de la obsesión se suma a conceptos similares ya expresados por autores como Napoleon Hill (deseo ardiente) o Brian Tracy (mantener el foco para lograr los objetivos). Es un libro muy recomendable y motivador para quienes aspiren a no ser considerados profesionales del montón.

Ho scoperto per caso questo libro e mi ha incuriosito a partire dal titolo. Per me è una grande verità che ho scoperto dopo una vita: il vero segreto del successo è nel vivere una "ossessione" per ciò a cui ti dedichi. Cardone lo ha applicato ai suoi affari e gli ha consentito di emergere nonostante le difficoltà avute da giovane, ma penso che vale a prescindere dal settore: é e deve diventare una norma di vita... Da leggere, rileggere e vivere...

If you are obsessed by achieving success and you feel like you live in a temporary state. You are waiting for a big thing to happen. You do believe you belong to a better world and you want to have an impact on it. Difficulties in life made you stronger, and nothing in the world can get you upset, angry or mad. THAN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. It will teach you that being like this is an awesome thing and will point you to the right direction to move to the next level with your personal life or your business

I bought the book on kindle because in France it was not available until 2 weeks or more. I learnt english language espacially to read and understand that kind of book. If you want more in your life I think you need to have this one. Grant has something special and you will learn a lot with him ;) #BeObsessed
