Grant Cardone

And that was kind of a side hustle for me.

There's this thing I do where I never trade paper for paper.

I never trade paper for another piece of paper, stock certificate, a bond.

I never trade for anything.

I trade paper for something more valuable than the paper.

And for me, that could be me investing in myself.

I'm always more valuable than the thousand bucks.

Anything I spend on myself is more valuable.

Number two, I could be the business that I'm working in to make my business better.

Or number three, once my business is going well and I'm doing well, then I want to I want to store money to put it in something that converts paper to an asset that produces cash flow.

Yeah, I think that's really good advice.

And it's funny because today you're flying around in a private jet grant.

Everybody knows that like you have a lot of money and you're like a little bit flashy, right?

But to my surprise-

you were really frugal.

And that's sort of how you got your first million.

You know, you had a million in the bank, but you know, you were not rocking really fancy clothes or fancy car for a while.

So talk to us about how you got to your first million.

And today, like, even though you seem flashy, after researching you and listening to more videos and really getting to know you, you're actually like naturally pretty frugal.

So I'd love for you to talk about that.
