quick questions on their advice to the younger generation of kids starting out in the real world today.

We thought you had a beautiful house, wanted to know if we could ask you a few quick questions for the channel.
6
Hey, he opened that up so...

You guys see the Lamborghini's got the Aston Martin out, got a whole bunch of cars.

Excuse me sir, is this your house?
10
It is.
11
What do you do for a living man?
12
I don't know.
13
Los Angeles is the number six city in the entire world with the most millionaires.
14
Today, we're going to be going all over Los Angeles, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, and Calabasas, asking multi-million dollar homeowners how they became successful and how you can start your path to becoming wealthy in 2023.
15
We're right now in the hidden hills of Bel Air, one of the most expensive and wealthy neighborhoods in the entire country.
16
And with that being said,
17
let's get this video on the way. So growing up,
18
I always used to hear about how Beverly Hills had all these multi-million dollar mansions where all your favorite rappers
19
and movie stars live.
20
Well today, we're going to be going up to these homes for ourselves.
21
I want to run into some of the craziest people in
22
the entire city to figure out what they did to put themselves in these multi-million dollar houses.
23
I got the Bentley parked out front.
24
We're going to go up to the door, ask this multi-million dollar homeowner how they were able to put themselves here.
25
Let's see what they have to say.
26
Excuse me ma'am.
27
Quick question for you.
28
My brother and I, we go all over the country.
29
We're based in Austin, Texas.
30
We grew a channel to over 2 million followers where we
31
go all over the country just asking beautiful homeowners a few questions on their advice to the younger generation.
32
I wanted to know if we could ask you just a few quick questions for the channel.
33
I'd love to.
34
Come on in.
35
Is that cool?
36
Thank you so much.
37
I appreciate that.
38
Thank you.
39
How long have you been an entrepreneur for?
40
22 years.
41
What industry did you pursue a career in?
42
Well, I was a former model, but when that was over I went into renovating homes and then building homes.
43
So you've been an entrepreneur for a long time now.
44
Over that period of time what's the greatest lesson about entrepreneurship
45
that you've learned that you pass on to someone who's about to start their first business in 2023?
46
Well one of the things that I love to teach my son is take a risk.
47
Take a risk.
48
You know I had nothing and I just believe that
49
if you believe in yourself and you believe in what you do then the chances are you will be a success.
50
What would you say has been the most amount of money that you've ever generated in a single year.
51
Cover your ears, cover your ears, cover your ears!
52
Well, my last property I made, I made three and a half million on my last property.
53
That's incredible.
54
Look at that face, look at that face.
55
Now he definitely wants to come into my business, don't you?
56
Yes, yes, he does.
57
But I'll make more on this one.
58
How were you able to scale from six to seven figures and then just from beyond there?
59
Yes, so I was very lucky that I was able to reinvest my profit over and over and over.
60
And what that did was that allowed me to get larger
61
and larger larger and then in the other thing
62
that you can do is do a 1031 exchange and what
63
that does it allows you to push out your your taxes because you're rolling your profit into your next build.
64
So that just allows you to go bigger and bigger and bigger.
65
Eventually, you're going to say, OK, I've got to stop now.
66
But yes, that's a very handy tool as well.
67
And my final question for you.
68
You know, you've got a beautiful, one of the most beautiful houses I've been in.
69
This is a multimillion dollar house.
70
What would you say is the best advice that you'd pass on to the younger generation?
71

113
Just asking beautiful homeowners a few quick questions on their advice to the younger generation.

Although we faced rejection after rejection for hours, right before we decided to call it a day, this happened.
122
I go all over the country.
123
I'm based in Austin, Texas.
124
Just asking people a few quick questions on their advice for the younger generation.
125
Can I ask you just a few quick questions up here?
126
Yeah, sir.
127
Thank you, sir.
128
Appreciate that.
129
We'll just come.
130
Awesome.
131
What industry did you decide to pursue a career in?
132
Software engineering, and then I turned it into marketing.
133
Are you a business owner now?
134
Yes.
135
And how long have you been a business owner for?
136
I've been running my agency for nine years.
137
You had longevity as an entrepreneur for nearly 10 years now.
138
90% of businesses don't make it past five years.
139
So what would you say is the most common mistake that business owners make that prevents them from having longevity?
140
Okay, so a couple things.
141
I run a startup and failed at building a startup.
142
And, you know, the company wasn't a huge success.
143
It ended up being acquired, but ultimately, like, it wasn't the multi-billion dollar company I expected it to be.
144
And in those days, it was like, don't get down on yourself.
145
Don't start second-guessing yourself and just keep working at it.
146
Every single day is a new day and you can do something new with that.
147
You can always keep trying to move forward.
148
I think that's like the biggest thing is like keep moving forward with everything that you're doing, right?
149
Like if there's a mistake that you made or you, you know, you don't see sales going the right way, just like keep trying and keep pushing at it
150
and try to figure out like what you can do to get to
151
that next level
152
but also like make decisions I think the biggest thing that's
153
helped me in my career has been I'm very quick to
154
make a decision I feel like I can make a decision in a split second
155
and I don't overthink things
156
and don't worry about too many things I just jump right
157
in early on I always just was like I hustled I figured out how to like get stuff done
158
and I never I never took any shortcuts is what I say you've got great advice thank you
159
so much for your time so I appreciate you
160
and one last final thing any advice to someone who wants
161
to own a porsche one day this is a multi hundred
162
thousand dollars this is a lot of people's dream car any advice it's my dream car
163
when i was a kid i actually used to always go to the auto show with my dad
164
and i'd get the 911 like posters or like pamphlets
165
or whatever and i'd hang them up in my room
166
and it's it's been my dream car just work hard invest well save
167
and go for it all right you guys my man was driving down the street in the porsche
168
and we yelled at him from outside of the car excuse me sir we let him know about the channel
169
and what we do went up to him asking some questions
170
it turns out he was a beast entrepreneur a marketing multimillioner
171
started out as a software engineer transition now he's a business mogul
172
so caught him in the portion gave some incredible advice shout out to
173
that man right there let's get the next one all right
174

175
is one of the wealthiest parts in the entire city
176
and as i said earlier man los angeles this is the
177
number six city in the entire world with the most millionaires
178
we're here at our next multi-million dollar house out in calabasas we're gonna go up to it see
179
if we can get some game from the owner figure out
180
how they were able to put themselves in a house like
181
this hello sir quick question for you my two friends in
182
and I we started a channel in Austin Texas
183
that we grew to over 2 million followers we go all
184
over the country just asking people a few quick questions on
185
their advice to the younger generation of kids starting out in
186
the real world today we thought you had a beautiful house wanted to know
187
if we could ask you a few quick questions for the channel that's amazing is it cool
188
if we come in hey he opened that up
189
so you guys see the Lamborghini he's got the Aston Martin
190
out got a whole bunch of cars we gotta figure out
191
what this guy did to be able to put himself here
192
how you doing sir hey what's up man you got a
193
beautiful house here thank you are you uh are you from
194
los angeles originally uh i was born in columbia i came here
195
when i was six years old how did you end up in los angeles
196
so my parents they had this dream to come to the u.s
197
and unfortunately it became a nightmare
198
because two weeks after we came to the u.s our home got raided by law enforcement
199
and both my parents ended up in jail how were you able to bounce back from
200
that kind of like going through
201
that at an early age like like what was the turning point that really allowed to kind of build all of this.
202
Well, at 10 years old, when they really put my dad away for a long time, I made him a promise that I'd take care of the house.
203
And I became the head of household at 15 years old.
204
And I got a chance to start working early, and then I started hustling.
205
You got a super nice spot here.
206
It's a multimillion dollar home.
207
Could we check out the spot a little bit inside?
208
Let's check it out.
209
Awesome.
210
What industry did you decide to pursue a career in?
211
Home security, I've had that now for 25 years and I just started a solar company a year and a half ago, which just happens to be the 20th fastest growing company in Inc.
212
5000 Magazine.
213
How old were you when you started your first business?
214
I was 21 years old.
215
21, and how old are you now?
216
I'm 46.
217
What's the most amount of money that your business has ever generated in a single year?
218
It'll be this year we'll do 200 million.
219
Scaling is one of the hardest thing to do as a business owner.
220
A lot of people will have that great idea
221
but they don't know how to scale and grow it so how have you been able to scale to a nine-figure business?
222
It has to come back to influence right because to bring in good people they have to believe in you.
223
You know your dreams got to be so big
224
that everybody's dream can fit inside of it
225
because again good people they have a lot of options
226
but you got to take the first step faith is really
227
taking action before you have what you need yeah I remember
228
as soon as I started the home security company I bought the minivan before I actually had the people
229
because we used to go in minivans
230
and I used to fill all of them up
231
and we used to go door-to-door I didn't have a team yet
232
but I bought the minivan knowing that the people were coming
233
when you put money behind something that's
234
when you know you're committed I call it a necessity level
235
and necessity levels this sudden willingness that untaps this tremendous amount of ability that you didn't know you had.
236
That's why I've always been great at putting myself in pressure situations that increase my urgency level.
237
I believe low stress is low performance.
238
But when you put yourself in these uncomfortable situations, that's when that greatness that lies within comes out.
239
What's been your secret to sales?
240
You know, you sold hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue at your company throughout your career.
241
But how have you really been able to land big deals with massive clients over all these years?
242
I've always gone out of my way to validate the business that I'm in to give me confidence.
243
So like when I started selling home security, going door to door, I would look up articles of home invasions, I would look up fire accidents that were happening,
244
and what that did is it filled me up with belief, with confidence.
245
And that's important because the more certain person will always influence the less certain person.
246
People don't have to believe what you're saying, they have to believe that you believe what you're saying, because everything's a transfer of belief.
247
You've generated hundreds of millions of dollars and revenue throughout your career.
248
What has been the best financial advice that you've ever received throughout your lifetime?
249
One of the great things that I did
250
when I first started was I would split my check three ways and I would live on a third of it.
251
One would go towards IRS and savings
252
and then the other one would go towards a reserve account that no one could touch.
253
You could call me and ask me for money.
254
To me, that reserve account did not exist.
255
And that reserve account has always helped me through tough times, because in life, life and pain are inseparable
256
and you're gonna have to go through some tough times because I like nice things, but being able to cut it three ways allowed me not to live outside my means.
257
That said, I was huge on having nice things.
258
It's what made me want to work hard.
259
I wanted to stand out, I wanted to be rare.
260
At 21 years old, I wanted to be the first 21 year old in my city driving a Mercedes convertible.
261
I didn't want to do it when I was 28 because by then everybody had a Mercedes, right?
262
So just little ways that I would compete against myself.
263
I mean, if you don't come from a rich family, a rich family can come from you.
264
And I made the decision in my family that I was gonna be the one person that changed my family tree forever.
265
Guys, that's a wrap on today's video.

Sobre esta lição
Nesta prática, você vai aprender a entender e reproduzir conversas informais em inglês, focadas em entrevistas e histórias de sucesso. Usando o vídeo "Asking Millionaire Homeowners How They Got Rich", você vai treinar a escuta, a pronúncia e a fluência, além de absorver dicas valiosas sobre empreendedorismo. É uma oportunidade perfeita para combinar aprendizado de inglês com insights reais do mundo dos negócios!

Dicas de prática
O vídeo tem uma velocidade conversacional e um tom amigável, ideal para treinar o shadowing (técnica de repetir frases imediatamente após ouvi-las). Aqui estão algumas dicas:
1. Use um shadowing site ou reproduza o vídeo no YouTube, pausando a cada frase. Repita com a mesma entonação da entrevistadora e dos entrevistados.
2. Foque nas perguntas abertas, como "What industry did you pursue a career in?" – elas são perfeitas para praticar a estrutura de perguntas em inglês.
3. Aproveite o tom informal: frases como "Can I help you?" ou "Come on in" são usadas diariamente, então repita-as até que fiquem naturais.
Lembre-se: aprender inglês com YouTube é uma forma divertida e eficaz, e o shadow speak (ou shadowspeak) ajuda a melhorar a fluência rapidamente. Para uma prática de conversação em inglês mais intensa, grave-se repetindo as falas e compare com o original – você vai notar a diferença em poucos dias!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — um hábito ou estado do passado que não é mais verdade | used to hear · used to always go · used to go |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | have you been · you've been · you've learned |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | being said · being acquired · was born |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
