The Cardone Zone

Never get advice from a millionaire. Don't get advice on what the view is like from someone half way up the tree, they can only tell you what they think the view is going to be. That's why you don't want to get advice from someone not even half way there. The problem with the Millionaire Next Door:

1)Think is too small—There's not enough zeros to last you any length of time 2)Conservation mode—Spend all energy trying to save the million. 3)Math doesn't work—$33,000 a year is no money. You can't just quit after making $1 million

When you have a million dollars, you're scared. Don't be the millionaire next door who is conserving the little pile they have. To make your money last longer than your clock, you need much more than $1 million, so never take financial advice from a mere millionaire!

If you want inflow, you need to give outflows. What are you putting out into the world? If you don't confront the size of your business, how to grow it, and how to multiply things, you will stay small, break even, and eventually lose. There are three things every business owner/entrepreneur must confront.

1) Big think—Stay small and you'll get crushed. The big boys don't get punished. Bigger is better. You want to be Google or Facebook. Do you want to be an eagle or a scavenger, just hoping for some leftovers? 2) How to Scale—Going from $4,000 a month to $40,000 can be a problem. Don't manage the business, grow the inflow. If you can't raise money, you need to transact with people. 3) Multiple streams of income sources—You can't be dependent on 1 or 2 clients. Staying smaller doesn't let you be a better provider. You need multiple flows coming from all directions.

Take setbacks and convert them. When have you been hit in life? We all have been hit, and they don't teach you how to deal with these failures in college. It's valuable to be able to transform failures to positives. What's your movie going to be? The hero or the guy that quit? Everybody has to go through a transformation. Transformation is defined as a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance; a metamorphosis; the induced or spontaneous change of one element into another.

Make a decision to convert setbacks into transformations.

10XGrowthCon is an opportunity for a transformation—24 of the most sought after business experts in the world will be talking for 3 days including live Q&A sessions. Are you ready to blow up and have the biggest year of your life?

Where can you find a better return on investment than the stock market? Anything that is not simple, something that you don't understand, you turn control over to someone who understands what they're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, you will feel stupid. That doesn't mean you are stupid, it means the thing is messed up. You don't need the stock market to make money. If you make $50,000 a year, you could make another $13,000 a year in the stock market maybe—or you could just make $50 more every day. There are so many ways you can make an extra $50 a day now rather than giving your money away long term to people you don't know to do who knows what with your cash. Besides, if you make $50,000 a year there is nothing left over to invest in the stock market anyway. Increase your income first before worrying about investing!

There is a direct relationship between time and money—they are connected. What do they have in common? If you want more money, you really want more time. Speed is the new big. You need to either go half as far or twice as fast. If you could have more of time or money, which of them would you choose? Time is money. Time is distance / speed, so if you want to get rich you have to do more with your time or buy other people's time.
