On the Cardone Zone this Friday Grant Cardone talks doubt and money. There is no such thing as self doubt. All doubt comes from another source. It's other people's doubt adopted. The environment tells you to doubt. Doubt comes from outside influences. There's no self-garbage site, rather what once was nature got turned into a dump because people put trash there. Doubt got dropped on you from another space. Someone told you to doubt yourself. Why you aren't rich? #1 Outside influence: Again, there's doubt being implanted in you from others. They say things like "money won't make you happy". #2 Bad information—a penny saved is penny earned. No, it's a penny. Money doesn't grow on trees. No, it's printed and they always print more. There's more dollars than trees on this planet. #3 No plan— People go to college and wonder why they are there. This is why people fail, they don't even know what they want. Plans requires the world to be static. Bad things happen that aren't in the plan. #4 You need skills—At 15 Grant wasn't sure if a girl would go out with him. Now he could be a ladies man—if he weren't already happily married. The point is even if you want something you can't get it without having some needed skills. Most people don't know how to sell and therefore cannot get rich until they learn this essential skill. Who wants to get rich? Follow the money! You have to get excited. All successful people are excited. If you don't get excited about your money you won't have any. Get the Playbook to Millions. You have to know you don't know something. You have outside influence making you feel like you can't be rich, you get bad information from people, you have no plan, and you have no skills. It's work to stay poor. Poor isn't fun and it doesn't get you excited, does it? Write down everything you have doubt about and circle the ones that are reoccurring, then figure out who is fueling the doubt. What is it that you don't know about that thing that causes you doubt? If you have doubt about something you need to learn about it. Get rich!

This week on the Cardone Zone Grant Cardone unveils the Playbook to Millions, takes callers and solves their problems. You shouldn't invest in anything except in yourself until you have 100K. You need prosperity. To get wealthy you must learn to increase your income.

On today's episode, Grant discusses how he defines financial responsibility and practices it as part of his daily life. The truth is, most people don't even know what they have—which is a major violation of financial responsibility. What you pay attention to is where you get results. Watch as Grant explains his simple four step process and how to incorporate it in to your daily life: 1. Commit 2. Confront 3. Control 4. Commit again If you want to achieve financial responsibility, this is a simplistic strategy to do so. How often do you review YOUR finances?

How to Know when to invest? Grant Cardone has special guest twin brother Gary Cardone—CEO and Co-founder of Chargebacks911 on the Cardone Zone. Get your business, career, and finances right! 92 Million people in America are underemployed. What people should be doing now? Make more money! Gary is now of the mindset of not buying anything unless it produces income or energy. A house is not an asset, it's a liability. There's no reason to own a home. Don't buy a car, lease a car. Only buy something that produces income or energy. Why buy a house? For your ego? A fantasy that has been sold to you? Suzy Orman is wrong! Gary also says when making cold calls he uses a strategy to hit a company three different ways, contacting 1. The CEO 2. The COO 3. The CFO

Today on the Cardone Zone Grant Cardone talks real estate. Don't invest in stocks. Don't do gold or silver. Don't do an IRA. The best investment you can make is in real estate. Getting rich is simple. 1.Increase your income 2. Save the extra 3.Invest savings Grant breaks down why real estate is the best investment and goes over various examples with numbers on the whiteboard. It's better to get a place with many residents than just one. You don't want just one door. Let renters pay the debt down. You can leverage your money to a high-degree in real-estate. You can buy a $2 million property for 500K. But to invest 500K you need to save 500K, and that requires a salary larger than 50K.

Today on the Cardone Zone Grant Cardone talks about the Federal Reserve. Money is only as valuable as the confidence people have in it. Raise your awareness. Where do banks get their money from? Money is anything that is excepted for value. The dollar is not backed by gold. The country is $20 trillion in debt. What are you doing to protect your money? What is the validity of the Federal Reserve? Grant is beginning to do a little homework on the Federal Reserve. When he doesn't know what's true and what's not, he does tests. He went to the bank and told them he needed a million dollars—cash. They asked for a reason, and Grant replied that they didn't ask him for a reason when he put it in. He wanted to test to see if he could even get his money. If you go to the bank and ask for even 100K you won't get it that day. The US has been for 200 years a country that has been built into greatness, but there is big problems —because it is a pure credit nation now. Everyone in the middle class is going to get disrupted. The money you have is digits in a bank, but Grant's advice is to get as much of it as you can because if things go bad, you'll still need it.

Today on the Cardone Zone Grant Cardone talks about the YOUEconomy. Wages are not increasing folks, and we are entering a new economic age. Make a decision to focus on the YOU economy. Take responsibility for your finances—it's on you. Set a target and start doing the math. Take a second job, whatever it takes to get your money right. The truth is having a JOB means you are Just Over Broke. Your job is to think like an entrepreneur 24/7. Operate with urgency. Money don't care how old you are. You MUST learn how to sell. Extrovert yourself and make your own economy. The economy ain't coming back. Jobs are in the middle class. The middle class is disappearing. In 2008 I realized I was too dependent on THE Economy and not MY economy. I changed that and you can too. Get on Cardone University today.

Today on the Cardone Zone Grant Cardone brings news of a coming recession. It's been 8 years since the last major recession and Grant says we are in another one. When there is cranes in the air, beware. Stay away from real estate right now. Sell your house. It's too late when the hurricane hits. When the contraction happens its too late. When everyone is running to the door nobody can get out. Go to the door now. This will be deep, ugly, and long. It will effect you. Intel laid off a bunch of people this week. This will continue. Boeing is cutting jobs. There is 1.3 trillion dollars in college debt in this country. Grant went to the bank to get a bunch of money out and it took him 3 meetings and a week to get his money out. What will you do when there is a bank run and you can't get your money out? How to protect yourself from recession: Get prepared. 1) Don't wait for it to get here operate like it is here now. Out work everyone now as though the contraction is fully here. 2) Stop ALL spending except on those things that can increase income. Do NOT spend to consume; spend only to increase income. 3) Keep your firewood dry and add to it. Accumulate cash—wood for your fire—at all cost and spend nothing, preparing to invest when real assets get cheaper (they will). Prepare to steal when the market capitulates (throws up). Build your fire so big others stare in amazement. 4) Do whatever it takes to increase income. Take on other income opportunities to increase your monthly income and save it all. 5) Learn 'how' think rather than 'why' think and act like an entrepreneur. That means sales, marketing, negotiating, follow up, and branding.

On today's episode, Grant talks about something that even some of the 2016 presidential candidates could use a few tips about—how to sell yourself. Simply showing up is not enough. Grant discusses how some of the GOP candidates may have been on-stage, but they didn't show-up to blow-up. Watch Grant discuss these three rules to selling yourself: 1. Show up, and then show up again — then show off 2. Claim the stage as the authority 3. Sell who you are Think of your life as a movie and remember you are the producer, director and writer. That being said, it is invaluable to learn how to present yourself in a moment and command an audience.
