Here's a take that breaks the startup mythology: you don't actually need to launch your own business to build real wealth. Sure, entrepreneurship works—but it's brutal. The failure rates are crushing, the stress never stops, and most founders burn out. Grant Cardone's angle cuts through the noise: sometimes the smarter play is different. Instead of betting everything on your own venture, position yourself with people who've already won. Think about it. They've navigated the obstacles, proven the model, and built momentum. You leverage their track record, their network, their systems. You skip years of trial-and-error and capital hemorrhaging. The wealth still flows—you're just not carrying all the risk. For traders and investors in crypto, this applies hard. Riding with proven winners, whether it's backing a solid project or joining an alpha group, often beats going solo trying to catch every opportunity.
