to give you here, Part Two of the exclusive interview with the
man that other financial experts are calling ‘The
entrepreneur for the 21st Century,’ Mr. Grant
Cardone.
The Hollywood Sentinel-Bruce Edwin: It seems to
me that the majority of society out there thinks, ‘well,
this is how things are, I just have to deal with it and live it,
this may be terrible, but, this is how it is.’ You
obviously saw a problem, and you saw something that could be
improved, and you didn't say, I'm just going to accept this, I'm
going to improve how things run, and make it better, and you did,
and I feel there are a small percent of people out there in
society like that, that actually takes initiative that moves
society forward with creation, and invention, and I guess my
question to you is, what do you feel makes some one that has the
inclination and acts on that impetus, versus some one that just
says, ‘well, I'm just going to go with the flow and stay
how it is?’ What is the difference between two people like
that would you say?
Grant Cardone: You know, I don't know that there
is any difference actually, one if there is two people, and
there's not, but lets say there are two people, and one is like
O.K., I'm gonna go with the flow, and another is like, no, you
know, I want things to be better, I think the only difference is,
with the second guy who says, no, I want things to be better,
maybe he's just like look, I just can't live that other way, you
know, and they both work. You know, some people say the other guy
is lazy, and no, it takes a lot of work to accept whatever is
given to you every day. It takes the same amount of work, maybe
even less, but it's more fun, to say, I'm going to change things
around me.
And here's the good news, there is more people that don't want to
change things, than do. There's less competition, and while
people think, oh, they're pushing through it all and there's so
much competition, the reality is, when you get to that real
place, where there is not that much competition, where there is
not that many people willing to do what it takes, and so there is
less people at the top, and so there are less players up there,
the thinking is freer, the air is better, I mean, there's less
traffic there, there's not as much competition,it's not as
bogged, every thing goes faster. Are there bigger problems? Yeah,
but you want bigger problems.
And so, you know, I like to think that there is not really that
much difference between me and some body that doesn't want to do
it, because I've been there. Look man, I remember being in a
bowling alley, I was 17 years old, playing, me and my brother,
every day, for three and four hours a day, playing the game,
Asteroids.
The Hollywood Sentinel: Ha Ha, yeah, I used to play
that.
