Here’s why you should work on holidays

Originally published on CNBC

Self-made millionaire Grant Cardone believes in logging a lot of hours, even on weekends and holidays. “There are 168 hours in a week. You should be working most of them,” says the entrepreneur, who himself puts in about 95 hours a week.

If you want massive success, you have to grind, he tells CNBC Make It. And you have to be prepared to do it when no one else is: Instead of doing what the crowds do, “work when others aren’t.”

That means using Memorial Day and other conventional days off to focus on earning and getting ahead.

Cardone says: “Spend your time working holidays when no one else is.” Ultimately, “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.”

“Shark Tank” star Daymond John, who built a billion-dollar brand while living on the tips he made waiting tables at Red Lobster, has a similar mentality. Ultimately, the secret to success boils down to one thing, says John:

“ Work. Bust your butt. Get up before everybody, go to sleep after everybody, and bust your butt. That’s it.”
