The Cardone Zone

College, Targets, and the Middle-Class Lies


Listen Later

In this episode, Grant Cardone challenges one of the most accepted assumptions in society: that college is the safest path to success.

Drawing directly from his bestselling book "The Wealth Creation Formula", Grant exposes how higher education has become a financial trap. 4 Years out of the workforce, massive student debt, and no guarantee of meaningful income often lead graduates into low-wage jobs.

Grant breaks down why the real cost of college isn't just tuition, but lost time, lost earning power, and delayed financial independence. He also reframes the idea of "targets," explaining why becoming a millionaire is not the real goal. The true objective is freedom, control over your time, income, and choices. Without that context, financial targets can be deceptive and leave people chasing numbers instead of outcomes.

This episode serves as a practical guide to escaping the middle-class mentality, questioning conventional advice, and redirecting focus toward income creation, skill development, and real-world experience.
