0:00.0 | Ty Lopez was just here the other day. |
0:02.0 | Did you call him out on his bankruptcies? |
0:03.0 | What would you have said to him? |
0:04.0 | Here's what I would have said. |
0:05.0 | Grant Cardone, he's legit. Legit in what sense? I can't stand the guy. I'll tell the background. I've actually never said the background. So I... See, I know a lot of billionaires, right? And a lot of them I know they're not geniuses. like it's not like wow I'm like overly impressed with your knowledge base they have one |
0:04.0 | thing in comment. They do. They go for it where we might take a look at and say, ah, it's not the right deal. It's not the right opportunity. I don't know. I'm not sure. They go for it. Then if it works and it usually works big, now they got branding. They got banks. They got other investors, and it's a snowball effect, and it just kind of goes on. But they're willing to go on the brink. And so I wanted to write a book. Like, with all due respect, most books, I don't learn anything. You read it. You kind of heard it. Everything says the exact same thing. And I wanted to write a book that's someone like you who's successful or a billionaire or a startup, |
0:54.7 | because how I made my money at first is not how I make my money now, right? Like my first |
1:00.8 | my first million at 24 in real estate investing. I couldn't do that today because of double |
1:06.2 | closing. The average price that was buying in Chicago was 150 to 200,000. That same house is worth 600,000, 10 years later. |
1:13.6 | So me telling you how I made my first million, and also we didn't have social media. |
1:18.7 | I remember had a beeper because I couldn't afford a cell phone. |
1:21.8 | So I had a beeper. |
1:22.6 | And what's a beeper now? |
1:24.0 | It's easier to raise capital now than before you have social media. |
1:27.0 | You have this |
1:27.6 | medium of podcast that the only way you could promote events or things is newspaper or radio. Now, |
1:33.1 | social media, you're on YouTube streaming, this and that. And so I wanted to write something |
1:39.3 | first and foremost on every mistake that I've made. And so first one is this chapter one is like psychology |
1:46.6 | of fear. Most people, you know, they'll come out here and they don't want to spend any money, right? |
1:50.3 | And people look at how much things cost rather than how much things are going to make them. |
1:53.7 | And everyone here is going to pay for success no matter what. Okay, everyone pays. You can pay with time |
1:59.2 | or you can pay with money. Now, you can, let's say you want to be, pay with time. You work very hard, hopefully you get noticed and you know what, you get invited on a stage. Or one of these days, you're like, you know what, I'm going to pay to get into a mastermind. I'm going to pay to go see, to go meet Bradley or, you know, I'm just going to be in that room. Okay.
