The Millionaire Booklet, literally 42 pages of super-small type meant to be carried in your pocket for referral until you reach your million, has the key 8-step program that is the basis of millionaire real estate mogul Grant Cardone’s action plan. It is a foundational booklet “written in 2 hours” that has been typo-corrected and reformatted to reflect core beliefs on our way to millionaire status, mostly by straight talk and exposing the myths we grew up with—as well as our own mindsets as being undeserving or something that is out of our reach. Grant tells his own story (to a degree) and shares tricks and tips of how he went about achieving his first million to help others understand becoming a millionaire is available for anyone who applies his rules that helped him achieve the status. He claims that in 2015, 500,000 went from middleclass to millionaire status—not just because of him, but because with the right mindset and work ethic it is possible. He shares that we need to seek those who are wealthier and of a higher mindset than we are in our current state to motivate and inspire us—as well as to possibly be a funding source. We are challenged to “live like you’re broke—not poor.” To Grant, that means you don’t party and celebrate the victories (except momentarily) until you’re back to the same level as before, spending the increase. For him, it is all about the next level of achievement to keep his adrenaline pumping. His own career has had some serious setbacks, but he doesn’t let that detour him as, like a Phoenix, he rises from the ruins to come back stronger than before always learning from his mistakes. In the end, he says the purpose of his book is to help those of us desirous of a nice lifestyle to avoid some of his past pitfalls as he teaches how to do what he did to achieve his dreams and goals.
