Middle ground between Grant Cardone and BP

Find your path.
I ended up in somewhat of a hybrid, but probably closer to the BP side and went to 141 units in 7 years, and adding more next month (7.25 years). I started with regular deals and they kept growing in size.
GC and his book the 10X rule has some good stuff, but stuff I don't like/agree with either. If you go all in on what he's saying there's a good chance you end up like this example in the book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F$*k:
"It’s true, caring is what’s got us all f$*ked up. We care about the wrong damn things. For example, in the book, Mark talks about a guitar player who got fired from his original band. The guitarist vowed to become a rock legend. He filled stadiums, sold millions of records and won numerous awards. Yet, later in his life, when he was interviewed, he tearfully claimed his life was a failure.
That guitarist was Dave Mustane from Megadeth and the band who fired him was Metallica. Although to you and I, Megadeth was a huge success, to Dave, they were never Metallica. See, Dave gives a f$*k about the wrong sh*t. He gave a f$*k about how big Metallica was. Instead, he shouldn’t have given a f$*k and f$*king enjoyed the f$*k out of what he was f$*king doing. "
Read Rich Dad Poor Dad, BP, 10X Rule, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F$*k, Think and Grow Rich, and get The Daily Stoic... then figure out your path, and learn to be happy at wherever you're at.
