Graziosi: Great project managers often fail as leaders due to emotional demands

Graziosi: Scaling past $30M to $100M requires autonomous leadership teams

Graziosi: Advertisers Who Can Afford Highest Customer Acquisition Costs Win
“You know who wins in advertising? Those that can afford to spend the most to acquire a client.”
Graziosi: Sourcing cheap deals through real estate agents does not work
“If you go after your buddy or a friend or someone, you know, who's a real estate agent and say, send me cheap deals, you're kind of screwed because everybody's doing that. So it's really about finding off market deals.”
Graziosi: About 25% of top deals come from roadside bandit signs
“Probably 25% of our great deals come from a stupid little yellow bandit sign on a corner by Walmart or Target.”
Graziosi: Authors must triple writing effort on book marketing
“So I would just say if anybody's thinking of writing a book, it's the obsession on as much time, effort, energy, and pain goes into writing the book. You got to triple that on the marketing and strategy to actually sell it.”
Graziosi: $100k mastermind buyers are paying for who is excluded
“When someone pays a hundred grand to come three times a year, sometimes it's not They're not paying for who's in the room. They're paying for who's not in the room.”
Graziosi: Courses drive transformation compared to books by enforcing interactive assignments
