Growth comes in many shapes and sizes. To you, it might mean growing your team by bringing more developers on board, boosting revenue by overhauling your sales process or growing your interpersonal skills via emotional intelligence training.But theres no need to choose between business and personal growth. These four New Years resolutions can help you grow in both directions.

With entrepreneurs like Grant Cardone claiming that you need to work 14-hour days to earn a million dollars, work-life balance can seem like a pipe dream. While overwork might help your business in the short term, it wont benefit you or your company in the long run.Overwork can lead to burnout, health problems and team dysfunction.

One of the best ways to lighten your load and strengthen your company in the process is through delegation. Payroll platform OnPay found that nearly half of small business owners and managers do their own accounting and finance work. Every minute you spend counting beans is one you cant devote to leader-level prioritieslike product innovation, or personal ones, like self-care.

Not all growth can be measured in minutes, money or number of heads. Growing a company also means making it a better place to work. Although your companys culture is unique, your cultural goal is not, i.e. ensuring your work environment encourages everyone on the team to thrive, both personally and professionally.

Start with engagement. According to Gallup, seven in 10 American and Canadian employees aren'tengaged at work. Rather than ask your teammates whether theyre engaged-- a question they may not feel comfortable answering honestly -- ask how you can make them feel more excited to come to work. Approaching your culture on the level of individual preferences helps you understand what motivates each person. Not only does that make you a better manager, but it also gives workers a sense of ownership in your company. Rich, inclusive cultures are built around individual contributors, not company leaders.

When an entrepreneur disrupts an industry, its because he or she combined business and industry-specific insights in a new way. Yet just 9 percentof small business owners have a bachelors degree in business, time-tracking tool TSheets reports, and only 3 percenthold a masters or doctoral-level degree.

If youre a techie by trade, dont spend so much time building your software development skills that you fall behind in general ones like sales and marketing. Even if youre a physician who outsources everything your practice needs except a medical expert, you still have a team to manage.

Fortunately, brushing up on your business skills doesnt require formal education. Carve out time at the start or end of every workday to read relevant guides. Ask a member of your team to show you the ropes. If you need the accountability of a class, take a free one online. Join a mastermind group or an executive networking organization in your area to learn from others's experiences and gain new perspectives.

Innovation Growth Lab, a global consortium of entrepreneurs, claims that small business owners can increase short-run profits by an average of 20 percentby working with an experienced mentor. By helping you spot and shore up your own "unknown unknowns,"mentorship gives your business a boost.

When choosing a mentor, find someone as different from you as possible. Although it can be uncomfortable, growing your business is a matter of gaining new perspectives. If youre an American male with a background in marketing, what about a woman tech entrepreneur who grew up in a different country? Just as importantly, be a mentor to someone else. Maximize the benefits to your business by taking an employee under your wing. Not only will mentorship grow his or her skills, but a Robert Half study found that99 percentof surveyed CFOs said being a mentor also benefited them.

*Seven years ago international motivational speaker, William King Hollis, an aspiring NFL player, put a 45 caliber handgun to his temple and considered taking his own life. He had endured a lot of pain and adversity by the age of 23, having lost his mother to a heroin overdose and his father to many years in prison.

Now, however, he sees the world through a completely different set of eyes. Currently possessing his own brand, William Hollis Motivation, he has amassed millions of views on YouTube, traveled the world to places like Milan, Italy and Sydney, Australia, and garnered praise from some of the worlds top speakers and influencers including Les Brown, Gary Vee, Grant Cardone, Ne-Yo, DC Young Fly and late rapper and entrepreneur Nipsey Hussle. On November 7th, he released a one-of-a-kind album, Pain and Purpose.

Hollis is the rose that grew from concrete. A product of the projects in Pontiac, Michigan, he is an undeniable force that people from all over the globe and from all different backgrounds and age groups tune into for the strength to push harder and to overcome self-limiting beliefs.

Im from the slums, Im not even supposed to be here by most peoples accounts, Hollis said. I couldnt read until I was 16 years old and now I am an international motivational speaker making $20,000 a speech. This album is an album everyone needs to listen to. Its not Hip Hop, its not music. Its proven, great mental development. I put my life into this album.

Cardone Capital fund manager and The 10X Rule author Grant Cardone discusses the Democrats proposed millionaire surtax and his tip for the middle class to learn how to scale their money.

The holy grail of every entrepreneur is taking risks in order to make more time and money, according to the CEO of Cardone Capital,Grant Cardone.

Cardone, the author of "The 10X Rule," creator of multiple business programs and an entrepreneur who owns and operates seven privately held companies, told FOX Business Maria Bartiromothat he is concerned that the Democrats multitude of tax proposals would stifle business.

I would move out of the country, he said on Wednesday.

WHY A WARREN PRESIDENCY IS WORTHLESS TO THE STOCK MARKET

It wouldnt be the first time Cardone moved -- he said the "socialist influence" in Californiaforced him to relocate his businesses to Miami where he was able to grow his company 50 times because the tax bill was 13 percent cheaper.As a result, Cardone said he was able to create more jobs and increase wages.

I think that people miss the idea of the concept that when I get a savingsI actually, as a business person, want to reinvest, I don't want to just keep the money, he said.

Despite Floridas reputation for having low taxes, Cardone pointed out aside from adding to jobs and payroll, he also contributes by paying property taxes.

Property taxes on $1.5 billion is about $30 million a year in property taxes, he said.

Cardone was named the No. 1 marketer to watch by Forbes Magazine.

Weekly Pulse: get caught up ont he latest sports news in this week's episode. This week we ask, does Colin Kaepernick really have a shot in the NFL? USA TODAY

It was an ugly scene in Cleveland on Thursday night, when Myles Garrett ripped off Mason Rudolph's helmet and struck his unprotected headwith it.

But experts in head and brain injuries told USA TODAY Sports it could've been far worse.

"The number one thing youd worry about (when) being hit in the head by a football helmet, when you dont have a football helmet on your head, is a skull fracture," saidRobert Cantu,medical director of the Concussion Legacy Foundation."And a skull fracture, and the associated brain trauma, could have killed him or produced a very serious brain injury."

Cantu and others said there were several factors that prevented that from happening Thursday night in the waning seconds of the Cleveland Browns' 21-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, however.

Rudolph, 24, benefitted from both the velocity and location of the blow, they said. Garrett struck the quarterback with the helmet near the top of his head, where the skull is at its thickest, as opposed to near his ear or temple area, where it's thinner. And he was hit with the open side of the helmet, rather than the top.

"It wasnt just bang, completely direct, at a high velocity,"said sports medicine specliast Dennis Cardone, the co-director of NYU Langones Concussion Center."A high velocity direct hit, with a helmet,on him wouldve been tough. That certainly wouldve caused a significant injury."

Cardone added that while death is ceratinly a possible outcome of a severe head impact, "it certainly wouldn't be typical"in a situation like the one that unfolded Thursday night. He believes injuries like skull fractures, concussions, brain bleeding and even neck injuries would be more common in this instance.

CRIMINAL ACT?Why Garrett likely won't face charges after hittingSteelers QB

OPINION: NFL had no choice but to send a clear message with Garrett punishment

Garrett, for his part, has been suspended without pay for at least the remainder of the season as a result of the incident the longest suspension in NFL history for a single act on the field. He said in a statement Friday that he "lost my cool" and publicly apologized to Rudolph, who missed one start earlier this year with a concussion.

Gerald Grant, a professor of neurosurgery at Stanford University, said it would be possible to model the potential impact of a helmet-to-head collision like the one that occurred Thursday, but it wasn't something that he had ever tested.

He said he watched video of the incident alongside a group of engineers and helmet manufacturers in Youngstown, Ohio where, coincidentally, the NFL officially kicked off its "Helmet Challenge" on Thursday, in an effort to encourage the development of safer equipment.

"Were all talking about how to make a stronger helmet," Grant said, "but the helmet itself, as a projectile, it could be catastrophic."

The averageNFL helmet weighs between 4 and 6 pounds, according to data from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab. And while it is designed to protect the head when worn, it is no different than any other 4-pound object when removed and swung toward an unprotected head.

And that's what made the incident so scary to watch, the experts agreed.

"As a neurosurgeon, I was really concerned. I was frightened by it," Grant said."Any exposed head with some projectile like that, youre very worried about that. Because you dont know the possible effects that couldve caused."

CAMAS, Wash., Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --Cardone Ventures, business-boosting brain-child of Grant Cardone, business mogul and NY Times bestselling author, and Brandon Dawson, serial entrepreneur and expert business strategist, are announcing their partnership with Cody Kerns, founder and CEO of iComeUp Marketing.

Cardone Ventures works with businesses in three ways. The first option is to pay as you go, which allows the business owner to participate in the Cardone Ventures programs, then go home and deploy their new strategies. This option also provides the opportunity to invest more after each program proves successful. The second option brings Grant and Brandon alongside the business owner to work directly with their teams, provide resources, systems and tools to increase their bottom line. Finally, the third option is similar to private equity. Cardone Ventures will invest in the business and will work alongside their investment with the goal being expansion and scaling at an expedited rate.

"Many business owners don't have the experience, strategy, structure or process to bring their business to scale, or prepare it for scaling," says Dawson. "Therefore, they inadvertently break the fundamental building blocks in their pursuit of growth that can cause unnecessary and significant devaluation in the business. Cardone Ventures' mission is to come alongside the business owner to protect and maximize their personal, professional and financial value."

Work directly with Cardone Ventures to develop your personalized strategic business strategy. The strategic business strategy establishes a baseline assessment of your business gaps and then develops a plan for your business's success.

461 South Maya Palm Drive

Multifamily investor Robbins Property Associates has been snapping up properties across Palm Beach County.

Now one of its co-founders bought a home in Boca Ratons Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club for $5.5 million. Mitchell Robbins purchased the 7,997-square-foot house at 461 South Maya Palm Drive for $687 per square foot, records show.

Built in 2016, the home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and two half-bathrooms.

The property sold at a slight loss from its previous sales price in 2016, when Robert Noble bought the property for $5.82 million.

David W. Roberts of Royal Palm Properties represented the buyer and the seller in the deal, according to Zillow.

Robbins Property Associates was founded in 2009 by brothers Mitchell and Steve Robbins to acquire multifamily communities. The firm merged with North Palm Beach-based Electra America in late 2016.

In June, Robbins Property Associates bought the 192-unit Heron Pointe Apartments at 10010 Boynton Place Circle for $34 million from a company tied to author, speaker, and real estate investor Grant Cardone. In 2018, the company acquired the 216-unit Verona at Boynton Beach at 1575 Southwest Eighth Street for $43 million.

The Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club has seen a number of big sales recently. Richard Templer, the owner of a professional horse racing stable, and his wife Diane Templer last week purchased a waterfront home at 190 Northeast 5th Avenue for $12.2 million.

Earlier this month, Robert Sheetz, the founder of the Sheetz convenience store and gas station chain, sold a waterfront estate at 133 West Coconut Palm Road in the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club for $11.45 million.

In September, a group of executives tied to a West Palm Beach transportation company bought a 9,203-square-foot house at 300 East Key Palm Road for $12.1 million.

As we all know, real estate is definitely a way of making a ton of money because theres billions of dollars being generated annually in the scene but many people always tend to go the long route to becoming a licensed realtor when all that isnt necessary. Heres what Edward Shatverov, a teenage millionaire e-commerce expert and real estate investor had to say about why being a real estate investor is much better than becoming a licensed realtor.

Virtually everyone has heard a thing or two about real estate investing and how lucrative it can be if done right. Without sugarcoating things, real estate investing requires having a fair bit of capital and it may require incurring some costs on your part as an investor but one thing is constant; if you go about it the right way, real estate investment is highly lucrative and you will find out that being a real estate investor is better than being a realtor.

As a real estate investor, you can have a steady flow of income and comfortably retire without having any financial worries. So, if you are thinking of delving into real estate investing as a way of fulfilling your retirement goals, you are definitely on the right track. A single property can provide you a steady source of income for life; now think about what multiple properties can fetch you.

Of course, as a realtor theres money to be made and its definitely a decent business venture but my personal recommendation is to get into real estate investing instead. The real estate market looks pretty good at the moment and now will be the best time to enter as an investor. You only need to spot the right locations at the right time. Conduct an intensive real estate market analysis and consult with a real estate professional before purchasing your first property.

Edward Shatverov makes a valid point and hes certainly not the only one who thinks that way. Even Grant Cardone, the CEO of Cardone Capital believes that theres more money to be made as a real estate investor rather than being a realtor.
