Motivational, Encouraging, Honest

Revisado: 01-23-24

Good read. Not an instruction manual, though it sometimes tries to be. More of a biography with technique tips mixed in.

Good enough

Revisado: 08-11-20

Not a lot of groundbreaking information was in here. Though, it was full of solid time management tips. While it never explicitly says so, it get more like a book for working moms than anyone else. There are great lessons for everyone, she just hears most of her examples in that direction. Solid listen, no regrets. Not in love with it. Also, probably 2 hours longer than the information inside needed.

Money moment: he says to wear headphones and tell interrupting people, “I can’t hear you over the music.”

So long

Revisado: 11-12-18

It was good. But, it could have been so much shorter. It was not helped by the best pieces being in the front of the book.

So much hype

Revisado: 07-04-18

This book is has full chapters dedicated to telling you how good the advice it is about to give you is. It belabors the point at every opportunity. It also makes the assumption that you hate your job, so many strategies are based around that for some. This is a more real estate-heavy, less universal version of Ramit Sehti’s I Will Teach You to be Rich.

Don’t go to his website

Revisado: 06-20-18

The book is good. But, I went to his website and took the test that he talks about for the book. Holy cow, I get multiple emails every day, all of them very sales pushy. Gotta get that money, I guess.

Probably Better as a Workbook than Audiobook

Revisado: 09-26-17

I enjoyed the listen, the information was solid and useful. I look forward to making use of what I read. But, realistically, listening to this while at the gym or on the road lessens its applicability. After one listen, I feel like I need to go back again so that I can actually make my plan.

Good book, slightly dated

Revisado: 09-08-17

Most of the illustrations and talk of technology firmly date this book to pre-2008, post 2001 mentalities and approaches to the business. The 100 client cap is getting more outdated, through more practices hiring paraplanners. Also, the book is very focused on one specific firm.

Regardless, there were some great nuggets in this book. But, it could use an update, or perhaps an additional section for folks outside of the Merrill world.

You have to be in the mood for it

Revisado: 09-06-17

What made the experience of listening to Be Obsessed or Be Average the most enjoyable?
Grant Cardone is a firecracker. This book is not particularly informational. It is, however, a kick in the backside. Grant uses his own life to paint a picture showing what pushing through the grind can do for you.

If you’ve listened to books by Grant Cardone before, how does this one compare?
This is the most fun book I have read by Grant. While none of his books get shockingly specific, this one givers you a push.

What about Grant Cardone’s performance did you like?
Grant is Grant. There is no one like him. So much energy, so much excitement, so much passion that you may not make it straight through the book - you will need to take a break.

What did you learn from Be Obsessed or Be Average that you would use in your daily life?
I would describe this book as more inspirational than informational, though there are some good leadership pieces in it.

Remarkably average

Revisado: 09-01-17

I often felt like I had read a section before. Then, he will cite the source that I had read. Some new information and approaches were here compared to other, more prominent books. However, I felt like the first half of the book was literally all that you would need. Could have been half as long and a better book.
