He explains the mindset shifts, investment strategies, and financial decisions required to move from earning money to creating lasting wealth.

Title is not accurate
You’re right, but bro. It’s 2026 YouTube. Virtually no title is accurate for any video on here.
I do have a question. For someone with less than $100,000 to invest, How would you recommend we enter the market! I’m looking to study some traders and copy their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach???
Getting a financial advisor at a brokerage will do, bc it means professional investment management, trading services, weekly reports, and no extra fees. Not for beginners alone-but it saves you from YouTubers nonsense and daily hopium
I’d recommend Melisa M Lloyd since she always gives market analysis and tips that are really helpful.
Big thanks to Melisa Mae Lloyd ~ really appreciate her. she’s honestly one of the smartest and most supportive mentor I’ve ever learned from. Her mindset and the way she explains things really helped me a lot
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 950k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $321k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
You’re spot on. I actually made the switch to a momentum-heavy strategy a couple of years back after my self-managed portfolio started lagging. I was holding too many “stable” large caps that were essentially dead money. Melisa helped me transition into a mix that included XMMO and some high-conviction growth plays. My account went from roughly $250k to over two million in less than two years just by staying on the right side of the trend.
God bless you Grant Cardone

Ahahah fantastic ! Marry a billionaire- sometimes I think how things can be so simple if one would really envisions all types of solutions – it really cracked me up ❤
W sumie nawet taki człowiek potrzebuje bliskiej mu żony więc gdzieś na świecie jest ta jedna którą on pokocha.
Park your money offshore or borrow money against an income creating asset. F### tax. They only waste the tax money. Govt. are parasites in relation to tax.
Dlaczego ten człowiek po lewej ma dwie różne skarpetki?🧦
Ale Grant dobrze mówi. Imponuje mi że tak zadbał o całe swoje życie. Od ubrania i ciała po firmy, żonę i dzieci.
Could Amazon be planning to integrate GRO77X into their system? Is this the beginning of a rally? 🤔
Fed rate hikes again? Cool, more time to accumulate BTC, ETH, BNB and GRO77X before the next rally.
Got BTC, ETH and GRO77X in my portfolio. Somehow GRO77X is the one I check the most. Can you make a video of it?
Do you think BTC will break back 100K?? Any thoughts for GRO77X?
Glad I watched your GRO77X video instead of panic selling. Ended up finishing the week green somehow. My portfolio stil keep BTC, ETH and GRO77X!!
SPCX feels like the stock market trade. GRO77X feels like the crypto market trade.
GRO77X about to explode when the Trump rumor hits mainstream.
Amazon will integrate GRO77X to their chains. Is this uptrend?
World cup ends. Stocks cool down. Money rotates back into GRO77X. We’ve seen this movie before.
Sometimes I wonder if people realize how obvious the GRO77X setup will look in hindsight.
