An Exclusive Interview with Grant Cardone

Recently, Jed Morley—a successful entrepreneur, speaker, and expert in payment processing—sat down with Grant Cardone for the March cover issue of Valiant CEO. Grant is a bestselling author, founder of the 10X movement, CEO of a multi-billion-dollar business empire, and was named the #1 marketer to watch by Forbes. In this interview, Grant shared insights that can help any entrepreneur or business owner scale and succeed.

Here are the key highlights that stood out:

‍

1. Success Means Scaling Impact

When asked what success looks like this year, Grant responded that it means 10X-ing his customer base, investor base, and partnerships. His reasoning? The more people he serves, the more success stories are created.

The takeaway: Are you thinking big enough in your own business? Are you focused on serving more people, or are you thinking small? Impact drives income, and scale drives success.

‍

2. The Advice He Wishes He Had Heard Sooner

Grant said he wishes someone had helped him understand two things earlier in his journey: how to set financial targets and how to think bigger. He emphasized that thinking big is critical, but so is having the financial roadmap to scale sustainably.

If you want to grow, your mindset must expand first—and it must be matched by practical financial literacy.

‍

3. The Greatest Challenge in Business Today

Grant called out two core challenges for businesses:

• Obscurity: Most businesses remain unknown. The challenge is getting in front of people so they know, like, and trust you.
• Cash Flow: Few business owners truly understand how to create, manage, and scale cash flow.

These aren’t just technical challenges; they’re existential. Visibility and liquidity are the cornerstones of long-term success.

‍

4. The #1 Misunderstood Activity: Marketing

Grant believes marketing is the most misunderstood and neglected part of business. He said an executive's number one role should always be promotion. People need to know who you are and what you do—clearly and consistently.

Ask yourself: Does your audience clearly understand what you do and why it matters?

‍

5. His Superpowers: Marketing, Persistence, Target Attainment

Grant described his superpowers as:

• Marketing: Generating attention and visibility.
• Persistence: Staying consistent regardless of obstacles.
• Target Attainment: Focusing on execution and outcomes.

In other words, it’s not enough to hustle. You need to promote yourself relentlessly, push through adversity, and pursue your goals with laser focus.
