No bull:  Do things that challenge you the most

FROM THE DESK OF GRANT CARDONE:  Are you a bull rider without a bull?  Do you have no mountain to climb, no challenge to accomplish? You need to start doing things again that challenge you.

I don’t care what it is; jump out of a plane, jump off of a bridge, go ask somebody out that you know won’t go out with you, go call Donald Trump’s office… do something that challenges you!

Run for mayor, do anything that pushes you or challenges you or puts you into a different realm and I guarantee you, your experience is probably going to be a bit of anxiety, maybe some fear but underneath that there is always motivation.

I want to get those ones that challenge me the most out of my way or I want to conquer them. Either way, I win. If I make the hardest call first and I win, I am on fire!

Now, if I make that most difficult call and I lose, at least it is out of the way—it’s a no-brainer. Most people take the easiest things first. People are not challenging themselves that’s why they’re not motivated. I am telling you this is a big problem with many people at your company. People are setting targets too low and doing simple, easy things every day.

Don’t be a bull rider without a bull. The most famous bulls in history (one of them) was named…
