Your "Independence" is the reason you’re not a Billionaire
About this episode
Is your current pursuit of self improvement actually keeping you stuck in a small-scale "boss" trap? In this exclusive talk, Ryan Tseko, VP of Cardone Capital, explains why proximity is the ultimate shortcut to wealth.
Most people start real estate investing for beginners by trying to own 100% of small, "garbage" deals that eventually become high-stress jobs. Ryan reveals his personal pivot from being a commercial pilot with a 21-door portfolio to managing billions in institutional assets alongside Grant Cardone. He argues that the key to real growth is the 1% money rule: it is far better to own 1% of something enormous and great than 100% of something that is crap.
