One issue is Cardone's advice is often spot on for people already starting to buy into his mindset, but bombastic and unrealistic to everyone else. His core message is about increasing income through huge effort above anything else. So if you're making $50K, it's all about doubling down and hammering your way to $100K, saving the difference in the bank, and then once you have that emergency fund, save to invest. As you suggest, the majority of people can't or won't do this so the advice isn't really viable for the majority either.
