The Millionaire Booklet Summary
To become rich, you need to be especially careful of where and who you get your money advice from. Odds are your parents, the school system, and society taught you the wrong ideas about money; like to save it, but not how to make it or invest it so it works to make you more wealth.
Step 1 is making the millionaire decision, which simply means committing to your objective of becoming rich. If you don’t think it’s possible, then you got no shot, so you have to make the decision first.
An inspiring stat is that more than 80% of all millionaires today are self-made, proving it’s entirely possible.
Step 2 is understanding the millionaire math, in other words, how many different ways you can make a million dollars. There are thousands of different ways from making $50,000 for 20 years or selling 1,000 people a $1,000 product or service. The key is to do the math so you break it down and are inspired to chase your goal even farther.
Step 3 comes down to increasing your income because without an increase in income, you create no positive momentum and you’ll drag out the process of being a millionaire. Instead, do whatever it takes to make more money every single month. Try everything. Put energy into it. That’s how you increase your paycheck.
Step 4, who’s got my money?, is a principle that will save you from wasting time on the people who can’t help you reach your millionaire goal. When you focus on the big, often older, players who can exchange money for a product or service you provide, your income will skyrocket. This is also called follow the money.
Step 5 is all about staying broke. Grant Cardone strongly recommends this because a quick way to lose your hunger and kill your shot at becoming rich is to spend too much getting comfortable. You need to invest that new income from Step 3 and Step 4 right away, otherwise your not making strides to creating generational wealth.
Cardone’s Step 6 is save to invest, don’t save to save. He mentions how the middle-class is trained to save for rainy days and emergency funds, but the rich save only to invest. Through sound investments, you can become rich and then super rich if the deal is unbelievable.
Step 7 covers multiple flows of income and GC makes a point that many mistakenly try to add a second flow of income, but while doing so they consequently kill their first income and are left with one income again. Be smart about adding income streams by ensuring they’re related to your first income.
Lastly, Grant Cardone’s Step 8 is to repeat, reinforce, and hyper-focus. Once you get started, then just raise the stakes and keep repeating this process. You’ll see that there’s an unlimited money on this planet and you can make a whole lot of damage.
