Grant begins the show referring to New York Magazine article where tech columnist Kevin Roose interviews Netscape creator and power-tweeter Marc Andreessen and their conversation veers into how the middle class is a myth. Grant advises people to quit passing up opportunity and explains how the biggest cities in America all share one common thing. The rich get richer and the middle and poor are pushed down. To drive the point home Grant lists movie roles popular actors passed on such as Bill Murray passing on Forrest Gump, Christian Bale passing on being James Bond and Michelle Pfeiffer passing on Basic Instinct and Pretty Woman. Passing up opportunity is not a good thing for business. Grant also discusses Peyton Manning and his incredible work ethic and 100% all in dedication.

159: How to Make Income First
March 20, 2015

This week Grant is talking about money, finances, and how you can simplify them to a digestible amount.
If you're stuck at a crossroads you're stuck at a maybe—you need to make a decision. You need to go as fast as you can in one direction, and if it's wrong, adjust your path.
Simplify everything.
Your Finances: 1. Income – How much came in? 2. Expenses – How much went out? 3. Net – How much do we have left?
"You're kept from your genius and your potential because you're overcomplicating everything." – GC
The first thing you have to do is make a lot of money. Your parents taught you about expenses—use coupons, get discounts—and it's a waste of time. You need a financial statement, a plan to make money.
Business is supposed to be fun—and it ain't fun when you're broke. You need to focus on the top part of your financial statement; the income. Get as many flows in as you can and immediately push that back out to build more sources of income.
"Until you identify the right problem you will not be able to overcome it." – GC

How you've been misled: • I have to get an education. Now you have loan debt and no job. • I have to save every penny. And it's losing value versus prices going up. • Don't take risk. And never grow. • Fly under the radar. And never get noticed.
We just finished 7 straight days of filming Season 2 of Whatever It Takes: The Ultimate Job Interview. We had 416 people apply; 80 people came through the process—and everyone is thinking little. One challenge was to scoop ocean water into a bucket, and bring it to shore without spilling. And instead of filling the bucket and a little coming out, they only filled the buckets halfway—NO ONE CAME BACK WITH A FULL BUCKET.

Don't believe everything you see on TV, read in a newspaper or read in a book.
