Work hard, save your money, invest the money that you make.
21
I'd just love to know, like, what kind of message do you want to give to the younger generation, especially women?
22
This is Beverly Hills, California, one of the richest cities in the world.
23
Luxury cars, designer brands, and multi -million dollar homes.
24
But behind all this wealth, there are women who have built their success from skincare companies to consulting firms to fashion brands
25
and real estate empires and by the end of the day we ran into a billionaire
26
so today i'm walking around beverly hills to talk to women entrepreneurs
27
and learn how they made their first million and the lessons they've learned
28
I should probably mention that this video took about three days to film which means
29
that you're getting the absolute best interviews we found down to
30
the minute excuse me excuse me are you guys business owners
31
by chance yes what type of business do you own skincare
32
and a sales
33
and marketing company I live in Maryland what are you doing
34
here I'm actually part of the school of hard knocks team
35
we are starting a hard night don't we all get them especially when you're an entrepreneur.
36
I bought a brand called Ambi Skincare from L 'Oreal about seven years ago

and then I started a skincare line called I Know Skincare.
38
What's the highest amount of money you've made in a single year?
39
Over 10.
40
10 million?
41
Yes.
42
We can say that you're a millionaire.
43
I am.
44
How are you able to become a millionaire?
45
Blood, sweat, and tears and not counting the money while you're in the mode of building.
46
What the old people say, a watch pot does not boil.
47
The water does not bull when you watch it
48
so just keep doing what you're doing
49
and it comes do you think marketing for your skincare brand
50
is actually super important oh you gotta market how else would people know
51
that you're out there but it's very expensive to do it it costs
52
so much money social media marketing
53
but it's worth it what type of success have you seen though through social media marketing
54
that you can give to other viewers to maybe have a
55
skincare brand right now you have to find your community
56
and that's what's important finding those people and having that emotional tie with your customer.
57
What is it they're looking for?
58
Less wrinkles, less dry skin.
59
So you connect on those different levels based on consumer's needs.
60
One more thing.
61
If there's one message you can give to a young entrepreneur right now, a young woman who is looking to become a millionaire in 2026, what advice would you give them?
62
Don't let fear stop you.
63
Fear is the killer for success.
64
Do it in spite of being fearful.
65
Do it afraid.
66
Thank you so much.
67
You're awesome.
68
My name is Samantha, by the way.
69
Hey Samantha, I'm Jermaine.
70
That was absolutely amazing.
71
We finally met our first millionaire today and she had so much to say.
72
What she did, she actually invested in buying out another company and through that company's success, she actually started a whole new company.
73
Let's go find someone else that has that same determination and motivation.
74
Excuse me, ma 'am, are you a business owner?
75
I am a business owner.
76
Oh, what line of business are you in?
77
I'm in consulting.
78
What about you?
79
I'm actually a channel host for the School of Hard Knocks Women's Channel.
80
Basically, I'm going around talking to successful women and giving advice to the younger generation of women.
81
Okay.
82
How much have you made in a single year?
83
The highest amount.
84
In the seven figures.
85
Seven figures.
86
Yeah.
87
Millionaire.
88
Yeah.
89
Well, God has been good.
90
Yeah.
91
Yes.
92
That's amazing.
93
I love that answer.
94
How are you able to get to that like state, like be able to become a millionaire?
95
What you're asking is how was I able to scale?
96
And it came from being very clear about what my product is, understanding how to communicate that value to my customers,
97
not being afraid to talk about the business and the value
98
that it brings and also hiring the right people and training them
99
so that I can trust them to do the work when I'm not there.
100
So the idea is if you're in the kitchen cooking all the time, then it takes you away from having the ability to go out and fish and get more.
101
So you have to train people so
102
that you can trust them to do the work so you don't have to stand over them while they're in the kitchen.
103
You can train them to be your sous chef
104
and you can move on to bigger things i love that
105
so much so obviously you've definitely taken risk at some point right i have yeah
106
so i'm still taking risks i love
107
that what type of risk are you taking within your career
108
every day is a risk it's a risk to wake up in the morning
109
and to go out and to try to convince people
110
that your business is valuable to them it's a risk to hire people
111
because as you hire people It requires more cash flow, so you have to make sure that you're able to.
112
manage the day -to -day of the business
113
and also keep the working capital that you need to be able to go out.
114
I'd also say that it's a risk whenever you take on a new client.
115
Sometimes you can promise a lot of wonderful things to people and not necessarily know that you can actually deliver on it.
116
So there are so many risks that you take every day, but it's worth it.
117
Taking care of your clients is so important, especially in consulting.
118
How are you taking care of your clients to make sure that they're okay and successful?
119
It starts with a relationship.
120
In order for me to take care of my clients, I have to understand the uniqueness of their business and what they need.
121
And so taking care of my clients can be checking in with them
122
and making sure that we're giving them a good quality product.
123
It can be making sure that we deliver
124
and not being afraid to ask them to report and to grade our work to make sure we're doing it right.
125
And then to be willing to take the feedback
126
and to make the necessary changes that you need to make to maintain the relationship and leverage those relationships for their clients.
127
Wow.
128
And I want to go back to your faith too, because you said that God is good.
129
Have you always been a follower of Christ?
130
Is that who you're following?
131
Absolutely.
132
I'm unapologetic.
133
In every email, I end it with Godspeed.
134
I don't shy away from who I am because it's deeply rooted in my company.
135
I'm actually not the president or the CEO.
136
I'm the managing partner.
137
God is the CEO.
138
One more thing.
139
If there's someone right now that wants to get into your career in 2026, what tips would you give them in order to become successful and even become a millionaire through their own business?
140
I would say take out a sheet of paper and write down a line in the middle.
141
Write likes and dislikes.
142
All the things that you'd like to do, write them down.
143
Be very clear about what that is.
144
And on the other side, you need to look at your dislikes, those things that you don't enjoy doing.
145
And I think that both of them have value.
146
On the like side, you can figure out if there's something
147
that you'd like to do that doesn't feel like work
148
or something that you're really passionate about or something you're really good at
149
that you can leverage to turn it into a business or a career.
150
But on the dislike side, you have to be also very clear about what you don't like about it if it's something that you can completely eliminate, if it's something that maybe it's not so bad,
151
you can tweak it and maybe make it not so terrible for you or if it's something you need to get over.
152
And so as you start comparing those things
153
and you become very clear about what it is that you enjoy doing and the value that you can bring, you can turn those values into cash and build a legacy that's gonna live beyond you.
154
I love that.
155
Thank you so much for talking with me.
156
You're welcome.
157
Oh, it was so nice to meet you.
158
My name's Samantha, by the way.
159
Samantha, nice to meet you.
160
We almost gave up, but we finally met our next millionaire and she had some good stuff to say.
161
She was talking about client acquisition, how important it is to have a good relationship with your clients.
162
And that's how she was able to become a millionaire.
163
Excuse me, ma 'am?
164
Ma 'am, is this your car?
165
Yeah.
166
How are you able to afford something like this?
167
I'm a fashion designer.
168
I own a clothing line and a shoe company called Jessica Rich.
169
I love that.
170
How'd you get into that?
171
I would love to know.
172
I started basically, I was on a reality show 15 years ago.
173
I used my network to network in LA, build contacts.
174
And then I decided to sell my audience something.
175
And then I just started designing one shoe, and then it went from there.
176
And I just started giving it to a lot of celebrities and influencers.
177
What's the highest amount of money you've made in a single year?
178
A 1 .5 million.
179
You're a millionaire.
180
I'm trying to be a billionaire.
181
I would love to know, how can someone in 2026 become a millionaire themselves?
182
Consistency is key.
183
I mean, I'm nowhere where I want to be, but honestly, if you just wake up, start, and get going, and just ask questions for anyone you want to get advice from, they're usually willing to give you advice.
184
Because the owners that I know that are successful, they've lost it all and rebuilt it all, but it's just continued to keep...
185
I love that so much.
186
I'd love to know, have you taken any huge risk in your life to become a millionaire?
187
Starting a business because you lose friends, you lose family, you lose time.
188
And, you know, sometimes you look back, was it worth it?
189
But when you go to bed at night, you know, you built something from the inside.
190
That's the most important.
191
How old were you when you became a millionaire?
192
35. Tell me one big lesson you learned by becoming a millionaire.
193
I would say money isn't everything.
194
And honestly, I would trade it all for just like spending time with family
195
and friends because sometimes money brings more problems and more stress.
196
So enjoy it all, but never let the business take over your personal life
197
because it can i love it a couple more questions one more
198
if you can go back to your 20 year old self
199
what would you tell her i would have moved to la a lot sooner
200
because la is the number one place you should be to
201
network what's like the top three cities you would go to
202
though to become a millionaire in 2026 i would say new york miami
203
or la because with all three you'll meet people from every genre from tech to fashion thank you
204
so much my new samantha by the way jessica nice to be on
205
i love your outfit are you a business owner i am
206
yeah what line of business are you in uh real estate
207
real estate what do you do in real estate property management
208
and investments tell me about that how'd you get into
209
that family it's a family business it started as a family
210
business what is the highest amount of money you've made in a single year that's a good question
211
but i can't divulge that is it like a million no i can't i won't say
212
so i'm actually part of a channel basically it's about women's success
213
and women who are successful and entrepreneurs and millionaires and billionaires
214
and sharing their secrets
215
and tips to the younger generation yeah that's why i'm asking
216
how did you make your first million just investing wisely in
217
real estate i would love to know what are the top three states you're looking at
218
or someone should look at in 2026 if they want to become a millionaire in property management and invest you?
219
I'm sorry I'm always going to be very partial to California.
220
California even though people are really down on it for different reasons because of legislation but I still believe in California.
221
Is there a reason why?
222
Is there like a specific reason?
223
I mean it's going to be 70 degrees here.
224
Everywhere else it's 30 so I mean you can't argue with the weather and everything that it has to offer here.
225
I mean especially Los Angeles.
226
There are a lot of other areas but it's not as desirable.
227
If someone wanted to get into this right and they started from zero
228
and they wanted to make their first 100k in property management
229
investment what would you tell them get a mentor study a lot read a lot
230
and ask questions
231
and how did you find your investment did you have capital
232
what did you do in order to get your investment i was able to have capital
233
but i feel like i spent it wisely amazing one more thing
234
if there's one message you can give to the younger generation
235
right now what would it be i would say work hard save your money i know
236
that millennials and Gen Z's are really interested in experiences, but it means you're spending a lot of money.
237
You have to invest the money that you make.
238
Don't spend it on going out to eat or vacations.
239
It's hard.
240
Get a good education.
241
You're big on education?
242
Very much so.
243
So you think the younger generation should invest in college or mentorship in order to get into real estate?
244
You have to do that.
245
You know, it's hard to do it just on your own, so.
246
Thank you so much for stopping me, Samantha, by the way.
247
Excuse me, miss?
248
Miss?
249
How were you able to afford a car like this afford
250

251

252
i'm a part of a channel called the school of hard knocks women
253
and we're talking to successful women on how they're able to
254
give the younger generation a message to become successful themselves do you want
255
if i talk to you for a minute okay just just
256
i gotta no worries no worries do you own any business like what do you do well i'm a singer
257
and yes i own my own group that's so amazing i love that is
258

259
living in new york six years old i've been on stage
260

261
singer like i know that's like a really hard thing to
262
do as be a successful singer especially how are you able to do
263
that you know what it's not a sprint it's a slow journey
264
and a lot of things will come and try to derail you people circumstances
265
and you just have to sort of bear with it stay with it
266
and don't give up
267
and i would love to know what message can you give someone who wants to become a famous singer?
268
Well, it's like I said before, you stick with it, but you just don't learn how to sing.
269
You learn the business.
270
There's a book out by an attorney.
271
I think it's called Everything You Need to Know About Being in Music.
272
So you have to learn about copyrights and publishing and getting a good lawyer, getting a good attorney.
273
Let's say somebody samples your song.
274
If you're a songwriter, then you need to know how to go about getting money for that.
275
Otherwise, they just run away with you with your stuff right
276
so uh learn the full business don't just sing learn the business of show business
277

but she definitely dropped some amazing knowledge for the younger generation let's go find someone else like michelle excuse me miss
282
I'd love to know, are you a business owner?
283
Yeah.
284
This is the queen of Anastasia Beverly Hills.
285
How did I know that, actually?
286
Because I recognized you.
287
I'm a part of the School of Hard Knocks channel, and I believe James interviewed you.
288
Excuse me, ma 'am.
289
Ma 'am, question for you.
290
How old were you when you became a millionaire?
291
I'm not a millionaire.
292
No?
293
No, I'm a billionaire.
294
You're a billionaire?
295
Yes.
296
Are you actually?
297
Yes.
298
How did you become a billionaire?
299
Well, working hard, shaping eyebrows.
300
It's nice to meet you.
301
I'm Samantha, by the way.
302
Nice to meet you i'm actually the woman's host for their
303
new channel i'd love to interview you for the channel yeah
304
i'd love to we need to go to the salon right
305
now i could walk with you i'd be down to walk
306
with you that's totally fine i just love to know like
307
what kind of message you want to give to the younger
308
generation especially women i think they have to be passionate about what they want to do
309
and working hard is going to get them where they want
310
they have to have a plan they have to to stay focused
311
and determined this is what it takes it takes a lot of work
312
but determination is going to get them where they want to
313
be what type of challenges do you think young women are facing today in entrepreneur world oh there are
314
so many challenges girl but you need to solve
315
that i think business is solving problems
316
and it doesn't matter you could be a woman you could
317
be a man it doesn't matter really i encourage women to
318
not stay focused on oh my god i'm a woman
319
and i don't know if i will get the same credit
320
that a man will take no i was an immigrant and I'm a woman and I never thought of that.
321
I always want to do what I want to do and I was passionate.
322
I mastered my craft and I knew that I'm going to win.
323
Is that something you've always wanted to do, starting a makeup brand?
324
No, I didn't.
325
I didn't.
326
I needed a job.
327
I needed to pay my rent.
328
I came in this country without speaking the language and knowing anyone so I think I'd start developing a passion.
329
But you know what?
330
I started.
331
I started getting a job.
332
I never thought I would be in beauty business.
333
I never thought that I'm going to be passionate about eyebrows.
334
So I think once you start doing something, you will realize that you put passion.
335
And I think everything you want to do, you have to put 100 % into.
336
Become the best in what you want to do.
337
I think that's very, very important.
338
Don't be ashamed to fail.
339
It's okay.
340
Failing, it's okay.
341
Have you failed?
342
And what happened?
343
So many times.
344
I cannot even start to tell you.
345
So many times I failed.
346
But you know what?
347
The key is to learn from every single thing that you've done and you didn't succeed.
348
Learn it and don't do the same mistake again.
349
I love that.
350
Thank you so much.
351
Can you just say your name really quickly?
352
Who are you?
353
Anastasia Suare, and I'm the creator of Anastasia Beverly Hills.
354
Good luck to you and to you and all of you.
355
Well, there you have it.
356
That's three days walking around Beverly Hills, talking to women who have built million -dollar businesses and even running into a billionaire.
357
And I guess the biggest thing I've learned is that there's no single path to success, just people who kept going.
358
Thanks for watching.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
