The Life and achievements of dean graziosi

As one of the most recognizable entrepreneurs in America, Dean Graziosi has seen his share of triumphs and challenges.

Dean Graziosi Biography

Dean Graziosi was born and raised in Marlboro, New York. He is the son of Paul Graziosi and Gloria Post and is the younger of two children. Dean Graziosi did his first business investment well over 25 years ago and has never stopped fine-tuning his craft.

Today, Dean Graziosi is a multiple New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur, and educator. He has started or played a major role in over 14 successful companies that have changed lives all around the world – including the Mastermind.com platform, a project he partners on with Tony Robbins.

Dean Graziosi Overcoming Obstacles Early in Life

Graziosi’s childhood was difficult. When he was three, his parents divorced. He was raised by his mother and grandmother until he was 13, then spent his teenage years with his father. His family faced many financial challenges, including homelessness, and he moved more than 20 times before he was 19 years old. Over the years, he also watched as his mother and father both went through a string of unhealthy relationships. 

Because he grew up in poverty, Dean made a decision early on that he was going to be the one to change things. School was a struggle, and he was eventually diagnosed with dyslexia. Instead of letting that slow him down, as a teen he found ways to help support his family by cutting firewood. Then he started buying wrecked cars and fixing them up, eventually co-owning a collision shop right out of high school with his dad.  
 
Graziosi eventually got into real estate, then self-education. He worked night and day to change the path his family was on, and even though it was hard, he put himself in the driver’s seat of his future and chose to be the one to take action.

DEAN GRAZIOSI’S NET WORTH

HOW DID DEAN GRAZIOSI MAKE HIS MONEY?

Dean Graziosi has taken the lessons he’s learned and challenges he’s faced and turned them from his mess into his message. Despite—or perhaps because of—the obstacles he faced as someone with no college education and a learning disability, he started his first business as a collision repair center owner right out of high school. But he didn’t stop there.

A few years later, he stumbled across an infomercial for one of Tony Robbins’ programs, and it changed his life. He bought every book and course Robbins had, and as he learned, he realized that just like Robbins, he had experience others would pay for. His knowledge and experience was his inventory.

He decided to create a course teaching people how to make money selling cars. This was before the days of social media and digital marketing, so against the advice of his more-cautious family, he maxxed out his credit cards to pay to have infomercials made. He never gave up, and eventually that course became a success.

Graziosi then branched into real estate, buying a run-down apartment building and flipping it. This started his love for real estate investment and real estate investment education. JBB Enterprises, the company that handles his real estate holdings and manages his flips, is responsible for hundreds of successful real estate projects every year.

His biggest passion, however, continued to be self-education. Graziosi’s mission for over 25 years has been to provide self-education resources to people who are seeking transformation, fulfillment, and success outside the traditional education path.

CAN YOU MAKE MONEY WITH DEAN GRAZIOSI?

Graziosi’s courses and program are packed full of valuable knowledge and resources on how to uplevel their lives. To date, more than 50,000 have benefited from his partnership with Tony Robbins. Millions more are learning how to grow their businesses through his courses and his best-selling books.

When applied, the concepts Graziosi teaches work in today’s digital world.

Unlike many so-called self-help gurus, Dean Graziosi truly desires to deliver value to people, and his passion and commitment are evident at every level. He is not content to simply offer information to make more money for himself; he is seriously committed to helping others improve their lives. To Dean, impact is more important than income. He helps people realize that financial freedom is 100% possible, and it all starts with your mindset!

Dean Graziosi is also a strong believer in giving back. He’s donated millions to various causes and charities over the years. In just the last few years Dean Graziosi has donated over 8,000,000 meals through Feeding America to help feed families in need.

Dean Graziosi doesn’t limit his philanthropy to adults only. Recently, he donated $600,000 to help liberate children from human trafficking and sexual exploitation through Operation Underground Railroad. He also partners with Village Impact, a program that builds schools for children in sub-Saharan Africa.

In addition, Dean Graziosi helped raise $1,000,000 for Richard Branson’s Virgin Unite organization. This organization works to support entrepreneurs and other organizations in finding and funding solutions to worldwide problems and issues such as climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, and drug policy reform.

What I love about Dean is that he is a genius at what he does but as corny as it sounds he cares. It's easy to care verbally with your lips, Dean cares about the direction his feet move

I read your book from cover to cover all in 1 evening!!! It didn't even seem like a book, more like a personal conversation! I never did that before! I’m so sorry for all the bad times you’ve gone through Dean, and please know that you have really “motivated” me to reassess my life! Thank you!!!
John
Well Dean, many congratulations on such a milestone as it is amazing!!!! I am going to start by saying thank you as you have helped me shift quite a few things that have really had me stuck for a while. TBH, I hadn't had any real exposure to yourself until last year when I attended Tony's Comeback Challenge and that is where the story begins really. I then joined MM and really started to get access to yourself that I really needed, although I didn't realise I needed it at the time. Then wow, the World Summit which blew me away and I had forgotten how much I had been missing that sort of event. Joined KBB and Mastery and that was when the final pieces of the jigsaw started to fall into place. You see, I had been overthinking things for so long and the way you deliver your material just makes it so simple and relatable.
