Effort Doesn't Lie
It's easy for people to say that they are interested in growing their business and reaching their long-term financial goals. However, your effort tells the true story.
That's the observation of one X user who commented on Cardone's post.
"You text back slow? You don't care. You don't show up? You don't want it. You make excuses? You're not interested," the user stated.
People who are interested in their goals don't make excuses. They look for opportunities to improve and are upfront with themselves when they have to change.

Notice What Interests You
Cardone's post isn't just a way to call out when someone isn't interested or putting in the effort. This message can also guide people to heightened productivity. For instance, most people view saving and investing money as a means to an end. People build wealth so they can become financially independent, gain more control over their schedules, become debt-free, and have more choices in life.
Having big goals can fuel your interest, and if you notice what interests you, it's possible to create better outcomes. Someone who likes to travel often can use that as inspiration to uplevel their career. A higher-paying job can give them more flexibility when it comes to travel.
Setting big goals and seeing how work brings them together can inspire you to pursue a career path that interests you. If you are interested in improving your financial situation due to big goals, you may end up working harder and discovering ways to earn more money while working fewer hours.

How Interested Are You In Financial Freedom?
Everyone wants financial freedom, but not everyone is committed to the planning and effort that goes into place. One of the top-rated comments touched on how Cardone's message relates to financial freedom.
"Your financial effort shows your interest in freedom," the X user replied.
You can build your interest in financial freedom by envisioning how your life will be different once you reach your financial goals. Writing a list of the ways your life will be better after you have accomplished the goal can give you additional motivation.
Even if you are working toward financial freedom and take your money seriously, it's still good to do this exercise. Becoming more interested in something can lead to more effort and help you reach your goals sooner.
