Entrepreneur
and New York Times best-selling author Grant Cardoneputs in a lot of hours.
"There
are 168 hours in a week. You should be working most of them," the
self-made millionaire tells CNBC. "If you want to change your condition,
you have to work. If you can outwork the rest of the population, you're going
to get lucky."
Cardone,
who was deep in debt and stuck in a job he
hated before building his multi-million dollar fortune, logs at
least 95 hours a week. The
secret to preventing burnout has nothing to do with taking vacationor a personal day, he says:
"Any time you're feeling burned out — any time you're exhausted — look for
your purpose.
"People
burn out for one reason: Because they're off purpose."
Think
about "what it is you're here to do," he says. "You've got to
find that rich part of you, the reason you're here, and go out every day and
chase it down, hunt it down, and bring it into focus."
Next,
zero in on your purpose by setting specific goals. You have to constantly
revisit them and think big, Cardone says: "Most people
quit the game because the trophy's not big enough. Me and my wife sit down and
ask, 'What's the trophy now?' You make a million dollars. OK, what's the new
trophy? What's the new game?"
"You
do not get tired when you're having fun," he continues. "When you're
winning, you don't get tired. When you're scoring, you don't get tired. The
game can go on forever. But when you're not winning, you're not scoring, and it
no longer matters, then you get exhausted."
