Damn! Rich kids seem to always have money, huh?
After being followed back by billionaire @GrantCardone, I’ve been diving into his content. Watching how he teaches his two daughters genuinely shocked me—it’s completely opposite to East Asian education: he doesn’t send them to school at all; it’s all homeschooling, hands-on from him.
Beyond this post about his older daughter Sabrina, there’s another video of him coaching his younger daughter Scarlett on live phone sales, which is even more mind-blowing: He has a 13-year-old sit in an open workspace and make cold calls to strangers—closing 5 deals out of 8 calls.
He teaches his daughters sales through three key principles, which I think anyone working in AI, freelancing, or private domain sales can adopt:
“Not interested” isn’t a rejection—it’s a form of interest. People only fall into three categories: not interested / maybe / yes. Your job is to move them from “not interested” to “maybe,” and from “maybe” to “yes.”
Don’t push back directly—go with the flow first. “I get it—you don’t have the money, the time, or you’ve already spent too much.” Then smile and add: “So what would it take for you to buy?”
Once the client softens, stop talking immediately and close the deal. Don’t explain another word. Anything more you say might make them change their mind. Grant’s words are simple: Shut up, close the deal.
Finally, he shared a personal story with his daughter: Back when he was pursuing Scarlett’s mom, he was rejected 26 times, and 13 calls went unanswered—but he kept calling persistently until he won her over.
To be honest, what our generation lacks most practice in might be this: Daring to speak up and keeping a smile when rejected.
We might not have a millionaire father teaching us firsthand, but we can learn from outstanding people and experiences, even if that someone is just a 13-year-old kid.
Grant Cardone (@GrantCardone): My greatest accomplishments are my kids. We homeschooled our kids. This is Sabrina at 6 and at 15. If you have 2 minutes - I’m Proud of the results
My job is to get them ready for life, and I thought the best way to do that was take responsibility for the early years rather
