Are you burned out? Grant gets asked, "how do you do all this stuff you do?" and "how do you balance it all?" First off you don't want balance. Burning out is a reduction of fuel or substance. You are not a candle so you can't burn out. When the things you do no longer fulfill you, you might start to feel burned out. You need a reason.
1. Understand the definition of burnout. A rocket runs out of fuel so it stops ascending to its target. You have fuel too. The body needs food—fuel. But what do you need? What you need is purpose.
2. Find more purpose. Purpose is fuel that can keep you ascending. Your purpose can sustain you.
The truth is you need to be obsessed or be burned out. The average burn out because average doesn't get you excited. Are obsessed or average?

237: Emergency Budgets
October 7, 2016

Grant Cardone fought a category 4 Hurricane and is back in the studio talking about how budgets don't work. Was a hurricane in your budget this year? Most people don't have an emergency budget but you need one, yet the only way to make a budget work is to out produce it. You can't predict everything that is going to happen. Budgets keep little people little and scared people scared. Quit starting conversations about saving money and start moving the ball downfield and think income.
Budgets don't work because: 1. They cause you to contract. 2. You can't predict everything in a budget.
Grant uses the 95/5 rule. Spend 95% of your time on income and 5% on expenses. Control yourself if you have to but your problem is not enough money coming in. Why will people override the budget when there is an emergency, but won't spend when there is a great idea that will cost money and take things over budget? Break your budget to expand!

How do you start your day? Do you have a routine? When you think of the word ritual, do you picture a bunch of guys wearing hoodies starting a fire out in the woods? A ritual is really just a sequence of activities. Grant doesn't do a ritual every day because he's not perfect, but he is good and wins most of the time.
He's happier, has more confidence, and gets more energy when he does his ritual.
1. Wake up and beat the sun—Why way until the neighborhood is already up when you can be the first one? 2. Write your goals down—Journal your future, don't report your past. You can only write about your mommy and daddy so many times. Your attention needs to be on the future. 3. Urinate 4. Workout—This will give you energy for the rest of the day. 5. Shower 6. Read 7. Eat 8. Listen to music while driving to work that pumps you up.
You don't have to have this same exact routine but do something that fits you. Don't wait until you get to work to get your day started. You should know your targets for the day before you get to the office. In a crazy world you can bring normality, prediction, and control by having a ritual. You need to deliver every day and bring it—and having a daily ritual will help you fill your calendar and be more productive.
