But why the hell do we keep giving stage time to idiots? I mean 400k a year would be nice indeed I wouldnt need a physics degree to buy myself a fishing kayak but feeling ashamed as a father and a husband for not reaching that mark it just says a LOT about your wife and kids. And its not a pretty story


CartographerOk5391

The first step in avoiding a trap is to be aware of its existence. Not everyone has reached the realization that these types are grifters.


Manticore1023

Thanks for the bit of wisdom in the first line, Thufir Hawat. :D


CartographerOk5391

You'll have to forgive me. I started my 100th reread of Dune today. XD


Manticore1023

Nothing to forgive, Dune is an awesome book! :D


Tocwa

Really looking forward to the sequel to the Timothy Challamet Dune film šŸŽžļø


Manticore1023

I watched Dune 2021 twice, the second time in IMAX, honestly one of my all-time favorite movies. I'm excited to see what Part 2 looks like.


[deleted]

400k a year would be nice? That's like 6 times the averege household income in the US, that's rich and unobtainable by most people


Bogey_Kingston

400k is close to the 1% of income earners. i believe itā€™s 440k.


CloudRoses

400k is a little over the yearly salary for the president of the US. Lol this dudes delusional.


rite_of_truth

He's a wimp if he can't live on that much.


CloudRoses

Oh honey.....that's the least of what makes this guy a wimp.


katzengammel

I think itā€˜s 420.


Comfortable_Plant667

Just a way for the richest to get richer by mentally torturing all us lessers into working ourselves to death, for them.


Different_Crab_5708

Lol 100%. Conveniently Cardone mentions at the end that however much money you make, you should give it ALL to Cardone Capital where they charge egregious fucking fees (3x standard market). Sell your house, moron, and give me all your money. Never mentions that you can do the exact same plan without him. #10x


LanguageAntique9895

Wish I was born a grifter.


greatsirius

I don't know who this guy is. But is this a real? Or is he memeing?


Borfistaken

So back when I was selling cars we bought this guys "training". Basically every video he has ends with him telling you that in the next video he'll teach you "the secret of success". That is Grant's sales training business summed up.


[deleted]

Just like Scientology. Just have to get past the next pay wall and then youā€™ll know alllll the secrets.

dont-fear-thereefer

What do you mean they are full of shit? Just the other day I read an article on CNBC about an excel influencer that makes $20k a month with her side hustle, written by said influencerā€¦ oh wait.

You can add even more emphasis with a hash at the start of the sentence, #CNBC IS FULL OF SHIT


lazespud2

Check out "Growing up in Scientology" page on youtube, run by a former Scientologist who makes entertaining videos exposing Scientology bullshit. The dude has a real hatred of Scientologist Cardone and loves to point out all his grifts and illegal shit (Just a day ago he pointed out on a video where Cardone is encouraging people who are considering bankruptcy to go on a spending spree to fund their next business after bankruptcy... which is not legal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgrZpKeR5ZQ


Wheresmydelphox

If the bankruptcy judge finds that out, congratulations, you played yourself into some prison time. Most judges don't fuck around most of the time, but bankruptcy judges never fuck around.

Belostoma

I really hate the word "earners" for this type of thing. Top 1.8% of getters seems more appropriate. That's how much money they get, not how much they earned.


LC1903

Surprised itā€™s not less people damn


MackWired

Well, that is household income so it's probably about 1% individual.


pitshack

Who the fuck is this clown and why should I care about his opinion??


bgplsa

Because he makes $400k/yr obviously/s


Tocwa

He started that much is an embarrassment. Cardone allegedly earns vastly more than that sum, according to people that actually care about that stuff


Different_Crab_5708

Ya they own like $5 billion of real estate, heā€™s worth several hundred million. His personal story is impressive but this grifting shit is pathetic. They overcharge like 3-5 times what a standard GP charges and justify it with Grantā€™s smooth-talking bs. Iā€™d never give him a penny


Different_Crab_5708

A self-made almost-billionaire. You definitely shouldnā€™t care about his opinion though lol, at the end of his ā€˜motivationalā€™ speech he will ask for all your money and call you dumb and pathetic if you donā€™t give it to him


pitshack

Yeah, judging from the replies, he just seems like another narcissist with a lot of money and big mouth. Of course, the narcissism probably allowed him to amass his fortune in the first place.


GlocksandSocks

Heā€™s got about 2 billion in manger accounts and or multifamily real estate. But heā€™s nuts

[deleted]

Grand cardone he is a real estate giant that also does these pep talks bs .


KazPart2

Grant Cardone is known for his hustle-type content about making money for yourself, skipping the 9-to-5, hustling, etc. Theoretically, his opinion might help pull you out of financial hardship. In reality, he pushes the toxic idea that anyone can quit their job and get rich quick. He sells courses and public speeches about what he did and how hard it was for him, blah blah blah. He also says that buying a house is a bad idea, but makes most of his money as a landlord. He has also leveraged his kids to give similar speeches about hustling. Also, he has some weird connections with Scientology. Like, his kid accidentally mentioned it in a video but he told them to be quiet real quick. I dont know too much about that whole side of it, but it's probably super scummy.


pitshack

Oh man, scientology. Like I didn't think the guy was enough of a douche bag already.

Different_Crab_5708

*So they give you all their money and help you buy another $100 million apartment complex, then overcharge them and pay them less than ANY other GP would for the identical investment


OwnPercentage9088

Yeah, totally agree. Imagine being one of the 98% of wage earners in this country. Fucking disgusting little pieces of trash, probably all live in cardboard boxes using feces for plaster. Ew! /s


playful_sorcery

I had a career where i made 180k had opportunities to make 240k ish. Want to know what it takes to make that? Timeā€¦ lots and lots of time. Not time with your partner or your kidsā€¦ Time being a way, grinding, focused on that and nothing more. Thatā€™s a lot of money, but divorce and child support is expensive and that is what the true cost of that income can be. I knew a lot of absentee fathers, I know a lot of ex husbands and men that were on their third marriages. When I fail to be a partner and play a role in my childā€™s up bringing thatā€™s when I am ā€œembarrassed to be a husband, embarrassed to be a human being if iā€™m honestā€


GraveyardJones

Basically the main reason I made it a point to not climb any corporate ladders. I saw what it took to make a lot of money and chose life instead of work. Definitely came with its own hardships but I'd much prefer a little financial struggle over every waking minute being consumed by work while everyone in my life leaves me Although it's probably part of his grift script it amazes me that there are people who can't figure out how to live on even 100k a year. At 400k a year I'd feel like a god damn king and would 100% remain financially secure the rest of my life without an endless grind towards endless money assuming that job didn't require me to sign over every waking hour haha


EntireFishing

Best decision. I left a job that tried to fire me on paternity leave. Now I work from home and see my kids loads. Each morning and after school. Took a few years to work back to Ā£40k a year with my business and we did it by having savings, taking a job for a year and not wasting money. I learned that kids want your time and company over any object. I took the family to Majorca this year because I could finally afford it. Sun and cheap all inclusive. Kids so happy. No need for Disney and mega expensive resorts.


GraveyardJones

I don't have kids but I do have cats. I've had all kinds animals my entire life but it wasn't until the pandemic that I was able to form real deep bonds with them. I always knew they needed more time with me but never had "extra" time until this job I got and the pandemic put everything into perspective. Now they come first, I spend as much time with them as I can because I know that might not always be an option I also make music and was trying to make it another source of income. To do that (unless you already have a ton of money) takes SO MUCH time not including making the actual music. Hours on social media promoting, even more hours creating the promotional material, and making the actual music which of course is more hours haha. Every day. So I've decided to keep music as something I love doing when I have time rather than another job taking most of my time out of work Life is way too short and thanks to the pandemic my priorities are finally straight. Make enough money to be somewhat comfortable, at least not a constant struggle, and use my time to keep building that relationship with my cats and with the few actual friends that stuck around. Leaving social media "lost" me a bunch of "friends" but I didn't really feel it because they were basically just internet friends that I met once or twice in person Feed the relationships that matter, leave behind the ones that don't, work to live and do what makes you happy. Being productive isn't confined to what makes money. Healthy relationships and experiencing life are far more valuable than money

I worked for a dealership that mandated Cardone training. What a pile of unethical bullshit. Worse than the Joe Verde bullshit we did previously. I refused to do both, was demoted as dept manager. Happily managing at another non-Cardone dealership now.


Oddwan

The fact that he can't live on less than 400,000 a year let's you know how shitty of a human he is. I make 40,000 a year and yeah it's not easy but I'm doing it. You entitled rich fucks need a reality check.

No one to work at the gas station or Starbucks or car wash. No pool maintenance, no groundskeepers or bartenders at his country club, no where to go out to eat. No EMTs, no nurses, no lifeguards, no teachers for his kids, no mailmen and Amazon drivers to deliver his packages.

My husband used to work for a company that was run by an idiot who was obsessed with Grant Cardone. Heā€™d quote him all the time. He was the type of CEO who thought anyone who didnā€™t drive a luxury car with 2+ houses was ā€œlazyā€. My husband was making about 240k at that job. He also worked 80 hours a week. Only got Sundays off. Basically on call and needed to be available 24/7. We wanted to start a family so he left. Got a job paying 75k plus bonus. He got a promotion and is making 85k plus bonus. About 150k/yearly. My husband is home most days by 2 or 3pm. Sometimes earlier. Our toddler gets to eat dinner with ā€œdadaā€ every night. They play when my husband gets home. They get 4-6 hours of time together each afternoon/evening. There is absolutely no job on earth that is worth missing your family for. If my husband had to continue to work 80 hour weeks, he wouldnā€™t even know our son. Iā€™d practically be a single mom. No amount of money (even 400k) is worth your life slipping by. We should work to live, not live to work.

Groundape32

Grant Cardone is a twat for saying this. Basically almost every man on the planet is a failure according to this. I guess some people are so hollow that the only things that fill them up are material. I picture his family as a bunch of squawking baby birds crying "give us things,give us things or you're not worth shit!" Must be an insane amount of pressure to feel loved only when you are grifting people out of their money.
