I Made BILLIONS With This #1 Simple Wealth Formula (10X Method)

Most people think small, save small, and wonder why they stay small.
When financial pressure hits, those with limited resources get crushed, whilst those who've built solid financial foundations barely feel the tremor.
This week, we’ve got Grant Cardone on the Podcast. From a decade-long drug addiction to owning $5 billion in real estate, Grant reveals the brutal truths about money that financial advisors won't tell you.
Keep reading to learn how he went from not making $275 rental payments to someone who moves $2.5 million in a single day…
“95% of the population in 189 countries has miscalculated how much work they need to do to get enough money to take care of their life.”
WHAT THIS EPISODE WILL TEACH YOU
Here's how you can actually escape the financial hamster wheel:
→ The 40-40-20 Rule: Store 40% for taxes, invest 40% in income-producing assets, live off just 20%. Use investments to offset your tax burden whilst building real wealth.
→ Build Multiple Revenue Streams: when one struggles, others compensate, ensuring continuous wealth growth.
→ Think 10X Bigger: Scale your thinking and investments by 10X to become recession-proof rather than vulnerable.
→ Never Save, Always Invest: Move every pound from earned income into investments that generate passive incomes that provide cash flow.
The most important money I ever made was that first thousand pounds. The moment I went from £2,000 to £3,000... I was in control. I could change how much money I earn."
Financial freedom isn't about earning more.
It's about fundamentally changing how you handle money.
Rather than hoping for better circumstances, Grant created a system that made better circumstances inevitable.
Later this week, we’ll be sending a deep dive into everything that was covered in more detail to ensure you don’t miss any value from your watching.
Until the next one, keep crushing it,
