Grant Cardone: I hate the homeless situation and you wonder -
what happened to this guy? Something changed in this guy's life
and he just couldn't turn it around and the situation worsened to
the point of being homeless. And what about all the people that
have a home and are homeless, and the married people that are not
really married because something happened and they just couldn't
or wouldn't do what was necessary to turn it around. What about
those with jobs that go to work every day, hate their job,
dislike the people, their co-workers? They have income from the
job but not really a job! You know, you've got 10 percent
unemployment in the country today, and while it’s easy to
feel for the people unemployed, these people lost their jobs for
a reason. This is the confusion that's going on in the market
place today. Unemployment is not just a statistic, it is a
massive wake up call. You know, any body can be homeless, any
body can be without work, anyone can lose a marriage if they
don't continue to create on the future of whatever it is they
want. If you don't keep creating your job, your home, your
marriage, it will cease to exist. I was fired from the last job I
had on six different occasions.
Bruce Edwin: Six times?!
Grant Cardone: Six times from the same job, but I never left! I
kept saying, O.K. yeah, yeah, I got it. I got, and I just went
out and produced more! I continued to create even after I was
fired. And my creating led to production. And production gets you
protection.
Bruce Edwin: (laughs)
Grant Cardone: They could not afford to get rid of me, it didn't
matter how much trouble I was, or how much I caused, I produced
more than I cost the company. And the people that are losing
their jobs today, I know they're going to protest this, and say,
Oh, Cardone, he's obnoxious, but the reality is your job ended
because you didn't produce enough. If you're whole industry was
wiped out, it failed because the people in that industry didn't
produce enough. You know, people don't buy the little buggy whips
any more, because the automobile industry wiped out the horse and
buggy. And those people are like, oh, woe is me, I'm out of work!
Like the homeless, oh, woe is me, I'm out of work, or I'm out of
a home. Look, you've got to create in order to have what you
want! The market place punishes anyone that does not continue to
create a future.
Now, the problem, a big problem today, and this is going to get
us in a whole other area, is the government keeps subsidizing the
people that don't do any thing. And as long as you do that, why
would I get a job?! I mean, you're going to give me 32 weeks, all
paid for, and not even alert me to the potential cost of being
unemployed for that length of time with some type of warning?!
There should be a warning label on unemployment benefits.
Warning: After 32 weeks, you'll be of no value to any one in the
market place! Like, prescription drugs have a warning, like you
know, if you take this pill it may or may not solve your problem
but there is a chance you're eyes will bleed.
Bruce Edwin: Ha ha!
Grant Cardone: But, look, if you take 32 weeks of unemployment,
in today’s economy, you will never be worth any thing in
the market place again, and that warning should be given by the
government. Because I'm not gonna' hire ya'. And, this brings us
in to the employment issue, which is a very passionate issue I
have right now, which is how to get a job, what it takes to get a
job, and, people are still hiring jobs. You just don't see it on
T.V. They don't report how many new jobs are given, how many new
people are employed. I don't know if I have an answer to your
unemployment issue, but I promise I have an answer to staying
employed, staying busy, and making sure you're never
homeless.
Bruce Edwin: Great. (To read more about that, go to Grant's
website listed below). Grant, do you think there are elements
within the government that actually want people to be in this
state of dependency and near destitute, do you think it
encourages people being destitute purposefully?
Grant Cardone: No, I don't believe that, I think the government
doesn't know how to run a business. I think they're too busy
trying to satisfy voters rather than actually make a
difference.
Bruce Edwin: Wow, yeah. Is it true that the U.S. is being bought
up by foreign interests, and is the United States in threat of
being overtaken by foreign capitol?
Don't miss our continued exclusive interview, in part 4 with
Grant Cardone, in our next issue, as Grant discusses with us what
happened when he approached the U.S. government about his
