00:00What if I told you that the difference between staying broke and becoming wealthy isn't luck,
00:05isn't talent, and isn't even intelligence? But scale? Yes, scale. Grant Cardone, the self-made
00:12multi-millionaire with over $4 billion in real estate assets, says most people fail because
00:17they think too small, while the average person is worried about paying the rent. Cardone talks
00:22about buying the entire building. While most people save a few hundred dollars, he's looking
00:26at how to multiply millions. So, in today's video, I'm breaking down Grant Cardone's most
00:31powerful lessons on wealth and success, practical, real, and immediately applicable. Before we jump

00:50born rich. In fact, by his own admission, at age 25, he was broke, heavily in debt, and
00:56addicted to drugs. His father had died when he was young, and he spent years struggling,
01:01going nowhere. Fast forward a few decades. Today, Grant is not only a real estate mogul,
01:06but also an author of bestsellers like The 10X Rule, a sales trainer, and a globally recognized
01:12motivational speaker. So, how does someone go from rock bottom to building a fortune that
01:16rivals billion-dollar corporations? The answer lies in a series of principles, lessons that,
01:21if applied, can completely shift the trajectory of your financial and personal life.
01:26Let's break down his philosophy into seven key principles.
01:301. Think 10x bigger. Grant's most famous idea comes from his book, The 10x Rule. Most people set
01:37goals that are too small, then wonder why they don't feel motivated. His rule is simple. Set goals 10
01:43times bigger than what you think is possible. Take actions 10 times greater than what you believe
01:48is necessary. For example, if your goal is to make $100,000 a year, aim for $1 million. If you think
01:55making 10 sales calls a day is enough, do 100. The logic is straightforward. Even if you fall short
02:01of a massive goal, you'll still end up far ahead of where you started. Thinking 10x bigger forces you
02:06to approach problems differently. You can't just work harder. You need smarter systems, better leverage,
02:12and bigger opportunities. It pushes you out of the survival mindset and into the abundance mindset,
02:19where creativity and bold action become necessary. When you raise the size of your goals,
02:24you automatically raise the level of people, tools, and strategies you seek out. And perhaps
02:29most importantly, 10x goals inspire you and others around you. Small goals rarely create excitement,
02:35but massive ones ignite energy, momentum, and long-term commitment.
02:412. Money is useless until you multiply it. Grant has a controversial take. Saving money is not wealth.
02:48Why? Because inflation eats your savings, and cash sitting in the bank doesn't work for you.
02:54Instead, Cardone insists that money must be put to work, invested, multiplied, scaled. He often says,
03:01Money is useless until it's used. That's why he took his early earnings from sales and started
03:06buying real estate. Not a single house or a duplex, but apartment complexes, multifamily units,
03:11and commercial buildings. Lesson. Don't just save to save. Save to invest. And when you do invest,
03:18think in terms of scale. Go after assets that generate consistent cash flow and can grow over time.
03:24Cardone often says he would rather own one apartment building that brings in $50,000 a month than own
03:3010 houses that barely cover the mortgage. Multiplying your money isn't about chasing risky bets.
03:36It's about putting capital into vehicles that can expand without needing your constant effort.
03:413. Sales is the number one skill. No matter what business you're in, Grant argues,
03:46you're in sales. Think about it. Trying to get a promotion? You're selling your value to your boss.
03:52Starting a company? You're selling your product to customers. Building a brand? You're selling your
03:57story to the world. Grant mastered sales early in his career, selling cars. He hated it at first,
04:03but realized it was his ticket out of mediocrity. He studied, practiced, and eventually became a top
04:09salesperson. Takeaway. If you don't know how to sell an idea, a product, or yourself, you'll always
04:16struggle to build wealth. Learning sales isn't just about persuasion. It's about understanding people,
04:21solving their problems, and building trust. The higher your sales skill, the more opportunities
04:26open up, better jobs, more clients, and stronger partnerships. Even billionaires like Warren Buffett
04:32and Elon Musk emphasize communication and persuasion as key to their success. In short,
04:38sales is the gateway skill that multiplies everything else you do.
04:434. Obsession is your superpower. One of Cardone's most repeated lines,
04:48be obsessed, or be average. Society often labels obsession as negative, but Grant flips the script.
04:55He believes that the world's top performers, in sports, business, or art, are all obsessive
05:00about their craft. He himself is known for working insane hours, being everywhere on social media,
05:06and constantly pushing content. For him, obsession isn't unhealthy. It's necessary. So, if you want to
05:13succeed, ask yourself, what am I willing to be obsessed with? Because obsession breeds mastery.
05:18If you only dabble in something, you'll never rise above average. Obsession forces you to dig
05:23deeper, learn faster, and outlast everyone else. Think of Michael Jordan practicing longer than his
05:29teammates, or Steve Jobs obsessing over every pixel of Apple products. Their results came from a
05:34relentless drive most people would find, too much. But that's exactly why they won.
05:405. Don't settle for one stream of income. Grant often warns against the one paycheck trap.
05:46Most people rely on a single job, or one stream of income. But that means you're one decision away
05:51from financial disaster. Instead, he teaches, build multiple streams of income. Use active income,
05:58like your job or business, to create passive income, like real estate, dividends, or royalties.
06:03This is why Grant invested his sales money into properties, so he could have income flowing in
06:08even when he wasn't working. Lesson. Never depend on just one source. Diversify and let money work for
06:14you. When you build income streams, you gain freedom, security, and leverage. Even if one stream
06:20slows down, the others keep you afloat. Cardone reminds us that the wealthiest people don't live
06:25off one paycheck. They build money machines that keep generating cash while they sleep. Multiple income
06:31streams aren't a luxury anymore. They're a survival strategy in today's unpredictable economy.
06:386. Confidence comes from action. Cardone often says,
06:42you don't need confidence before you act. You get confidence by acting. Most people wait until they
06:47feel ready. But Grant argues that readiness is an illusion. Confidence is built by doing, failing,
06:54and trying again. He himself admits he was nervous, broke, and insecure when starting out.
06:59But by taking massive action, over and over, he built the confidence people now associate with
07:04him. So, don't wait until you feel ready to start a business, make an investment, or pitch an idea.
07:11Act now. The confidence will follow. In fact, action is the cure for fear and hesitation.
07:16Every time you move forward, you prove to yourself that you can handle more than you thought.
07:21Small wins stack into bigger wins. And over time, your belief in yourself skyrockets.
07:26Grant calls this momentum confidence. Confidence created by continuous forward motion.
07:327. Money follows attention. This principle is crucial in today's world. According to Grant,
07:39obscurity is the biggest threat to your success. If people don't know you, they can't do business
07:43with you. That's why he's everywhere. YouTube, Instagram, podcasts, events, books. Love him or hate
07:50him, you know his name. For entrepreneurs and professionals alike, this is a reminder. You can't
07:55afford to stay invisible. Build a personal brand, put yourself out there, and make sure people know
08:00who you are. Because in the modern economy, attention is currency. The more people are aware
08:05of you and what you do, the more opportunities, deals, and wealth flow your way. Cardone often says,
08:12best product doesn't win, best known product does. That means your ability to capture attention could
08:17be worth more than any degree, resume, or talent you have.
08:21Now, here's the catch. Most people know they should aim higher, invest, learn sales, and build
08:28multiple income streams. But they don't. Why? Because they're trapped in fear of failing, losing
08:34money, or looking stupid. Comfort. They think small goals are safer. Excuses. I don't have time. I don't
08:41have money. I'm not good at sales. Cardone himself says he wasted nearly 10 years of his life making
08:47excuses. Only when he became obsessed, doubled down, and committed to massive action did everything
08:52change. So the problem isn't lack of opportunity. The problem is mindset. Here's the pivotal idea.
08:59Grant Cardone doesn't see success as something reserved for the few. He believes anyone can
09:04achieve wealth, but only if they dare to play at a bigger level. Think about it. Instead of dreaming
09:09about buying a house, dream about owning the neighborhood. Instead of hoping for a small raise,
09:14build a business that writes its own paychecks. Instead of avoiding risk, embrace it strategically.
09:21His message is confrontational. Yes, but also empowering. You are capable of much more than
09:26you think. The real question isn't whether the principles work. They do. The real question is
09:31whether you're willing to adopt them. Remember, Grant's story isn't just about money. It's about
09:37transformation. From broke, addicted, and hopeless, to obsessed, disciplined, and wealthy. And if he could
09:44make that shift, so can you. If this video was helpful and you want to see more just like it,
