Grant Cardone built a $4B empire using a 100-year-old book most billionaires keep secret.
"The Science of Getting Rich" contains wealth principles he applies to every deal.
The 5th lesson transformed his entire investing strategy—and NOBODY talks about it: 🧵 https://t.co/JNkvuLDMwK
Written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles, this book appears deceptively simple.
No flashy tactics. No get-rich-quick schemes.
Yet while modern finance books go obsolete, these yellowed pages contain wealth secrets that never expire.
The first lesson changed everything: https://t.co/V16jX8LOzj
Lesson 1: Wealth follows exact laws like physics.
"Getting rich is an exact science," Wattles wrote, "like algebra or arithmetic."
When the 2008 crash hit, Cardone used this principle to buy $1B in property at 70% below cost while others panicked.
The second lesson was deeper: https://t.co/mGRK5wKJBZ
Lesson 2: "Thought creates riches, not circumstances."
While others saw devastation in 2008, Cardone saw opportunity.
Same market conditions created millionaires and bankruptcies.
The difference? Their thoughts about money.
Lesson 3 was revolutionary: https://t.co/5W9iaygpyJ
Lesson 3: Create new value, don't compete for scraps.
Instead of chasing luxury properties, Cardone targeted neglected buildings nobody wanted.
Added value through improvements. One $3.5M property became $11M in five years.
But Lesson 4 was the game-changer:
Lesson 4: Practice ruthless time allocation.
"I don't do laundry," Cardone explains, "because someone else can do that while I'm closing a $50M deal."
He tracks every 15-minute block. Only does $20,000/hour tasks.
Lesson 5? Most challenging: https://t.co/3gup6tUXKK
Lesson 5: Maintain unwavering faith through resistance.
When Cardone announced his $1B property goal, media mocked him.
By 2022, he'd hit $4B.
During COVID, while others cut costs, he invested $13M in improvements.
The proof was undeniable: https://t.co/sIKC9FAvHS
These 5 lessons from a century-old book built a $4B empire:
1. Wealth follows exact laws
2. Thought creates riches
3. Create new value
4. Guard your time
5. Keep unwavering faith
While others chase new tactics, Cardone mastered timeless principles.
The difference between reading and wealth?
Implementation.
Cardone didn't just read Wattles' book—he lived it.
