Introduction

Retirement these days is less about relaxing in a rocking chair and more about tackling a bucket list filled with bold adventures. But what if you didn't have to wait until your sunset years to start chasing audacious dreams? In his wake-up call of a book Be Obsessed or Be Average, Grant Cardone makes the case that ordinary is overrated. Life is meant to be extraordinary. According to Cardone, playing it safe by putting your ambitions on the back burner is no way to live if you want to achieve greatness, whether personally or professionally.
