“Grant, it seems when you put your mind to something you achieve your target. How do you do that?”
That’s a great question a very successful CEO recently asked me. It made me think about what it is that we do.?
We don't achieve every one of our targets. There’s a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that doesn’t work. But we achieve a very high percentage of our goals. I'm talking about all the businesses that run. They all have different problems and different types of people involved.?
It could be e-commerce. Or it could be us buying real estate or apartments. It could be us trying to find a deal that's off-market.? Or it could be us launching a new product to the marketplace and trying to monetize it as quickly as possible.
Be Unreasonable Without Reason
The thing that I do at my company that is very unusual is that we are completely unreasonable. We are unreasonable without reason. Yes, I'm logical. Yes, I'm a sane person. But when it comes to achieving a target, we abandon reason and logic.?
We never say “Yes but…”?
We don’t talk about why it can’t happen. We never say “We couldn’t because…” Any time you're making sense of why something didn't work, you are being reasonable.?
The great things that have happened on this planet happened because people are unreasonable. They abandon reason and logic. They defy the universe.
Now, if you're a logical person and you have to make sense of a goal beforehand, then spend some time looking around. Look at the universe. Look at nature. Look at all the things that literally defy gravity. Look at all the things that defy physics. You see it all over the place.
In my case, I don't need to be reasonable because there are enough cases of super-successful people doing things that are amazing. Whether it was manufacturing a new product. Or whether it was Steve Jobs coming back to Apple and turning that company around.?
Look at what Amazon has done. Make all products available online. If you look at it today, it’s so logical. Amazon is a “no-brainer.” It didn’t seem that way when they first launched. Before it seemed completely out of reason.
I see people everywhere trying to make sense of why they can’t do something. They make sense of why they quit.

Practice Being Unreasonable
One of the most difficult things I do is to be unreasonable. I practice being unreasonable every day. If I were reasonable, I’d say, “I don’t have time to make this video. I don’t have time to write this message.” Reason says “You don’t have time.” But I practice being unreasonable and shoot the video anyway.?
I want you to try this. Practice being unreasonable every day.?
You don’t have the budget? Good. Go find the money.?
You don’t know how to do something? Good. Do it anyway.
The real estate is not for sale? So what? Make an offer anyway.
I just bought a trophy property in one of the major cities in the United States. It was off market. It was not for sale. They were not interested in selling. And we just closed the deal.
Why?
Because I was completely unreasonable until we got the deal.
