Opening up day two of 10X Growthcon 2024, Grant Cardone got to chat with The Baddest Man On The Planet, Boxer Mike Tyson. Even though the boxer has an upcoming fight with Youtuber Jake Paul…
His long career taught him that any enemies are not to be something that’s feared…
In fact, the closer he gets to fighting the enemies, the less nervous he becomes.
Mike Tyson To His Enemies: “It’s Nothing Personal, It’s Just Business”
Whether it’s in the ring or in the office signing a deal, Mike Tyson knows one thing for sure…
When it comes to dealing with a challenge, you cannot let your emotions get the best of you. If you can’t reign in your emotions, you become apprehensive. Even when it comes to his opponents:
“THESE ARE BUSINESS PEOPLE. IF YOU HAVE FEELINGS, YOU’RE NEVER GONNA GET PAID. ONCE YOUR FEELINGS ARE IN THE RING, YOU’RE APPREHENSIVE.”
And it might be easy to give one of your enemies a well-deserved punch across the face (and you might REALLY want to)…
But when Grant and Tyson talked about friendship and enemies…
Mike talked about how some of your closest friends might be your biggest enemies and how your biggest enemies could be your closest friends…
“A FRIEND TO EVERYBODY IS AN ENEMY TO YOURSELF, NOT EVERYONE CAN BE YOUR FRIEND. I WANT TO DO THINGS WITH EVERYONE TOO IF IT WORKS…”
More than anything, Mike Tyson told Grant and the rest of the audience at Growthcon that it’s not about your streak of wins or losses. Being successful anywhere in life is about getting back up after your failures.
How Badly Do You Want It?
In life, you’re never going to be free of challenge or difficulty. Every speaker can tell you that. But what people seem to miss is that besides getting up…
Success is only promised if you want it more and you’re willing to pay the price.
Mike Tyson said it best…
“All of us have adversity in life but I wanted myself to be up more than anyone wanted me to be down. They can shoot me and put me in prison but nobody can stop me from doing what I do…
Don’t give up.”
Be Great,
