The NO BS Guide To Making $10 MILLION In 10 Years (Do This Now) | Grant Cardone & Lewis Howes

He says the barrier between a $100M deal and a $1B deal was simply that he hadn’t done it before, and the bigger question Lewis asked kept “haunting” him until he expanded his aim and took actions that matched it.

He repeatedly frames wealth as a “people game,” saying money comes through people (customers, partners, lenders, investors) and that he says yes to many opportunities because they connect him to people and experiences.

He argues inflation is driven by consumer behavior in the marketplace—people choosing to buy overpriced goods—rather than by printing money alone, and says producers/investors “want inflation” while consumers fear it.

He says raising interest rates mainly punishes the middle class and regional banks, and describes how deposit outflows toward higher-yield options reduce banks’ ability to lend, making small banks more vulnerable.

He claims large institutions take major positions, raise money, and partner, while everyday people are told to save, diversify, and buy financial instruments that primarily enrich Wall Street; he says he built wealth by getting control and investing directly in assets.
