Today we're in Miami, Florida, where you'll find some of the youngest female millionaires in the world.

And all around me are women building content brands and million dollar businesses.

So today I'm going to be asking them one question.

How did they get rich?

Ma'am, good question for you.

Once again, sorry.

that is worth a million dollars here let's keep looking excuse

me ladies quick question for you guys who's the business owner here?

Both of us.

What do you guys do for work?

We have a matcha shop.

How'd you guys started this together?

Are you guys like siblings?

Like what are you guys best friends?

We met in our old apartment building.

Yeah, started Oro.

Oro matcha.

Why did you guys decide to do that?

Because there's no good matcha here in Miami.

We have our own tea farm in Shizuka, Japan and she started it and I was like let's go let's do it.

What's your guys's first business?

Well we have two other pop-up locations.

She has a lash company.

Yeah, I've been doing lashes for eight years selling lash products, lash Lash Lash Services, everything lashes.

That's amazing.

What's the biggest challenge you guys are facing so far building a business together?

We're making it work.

We're there if needed and we love our staff and we're truly appreciative for them.

I feel like there's a lot of matcha shops starting right now.

It's starting to get highly competitive.

What are you guys doing in order to stand out from that?

There's always going to be competition no matter what you do, but I feel like there's nothing like Aura.

Seriously.

And honestly, like it's, we're very faith based and I feel like, you know, God is the source of our, how everything has been able to align so naturally and effortlessly effortlessly

and I feel like when you have a vision and if it's God mandated, everything's going to work out and it's just going to continue to grow.

Do you guys like a favorite book or verse in the Bible that helps you keep going?

The one I live by is Joshua 1 9.

Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

So even those days of like discouragement and like questioning like what the heck am I doing?

Like how, what, you know, like how, what, why, where?

I just feel like I always like lean on that verse and just am reminded that like God brought it to you, so just keep going.

Obviously, since you guys are faith-based and you guys are bringing it onto your business, what do you think has impacted you guys so much bringing God into your business?

Honestly, I always pray.

I pray every day.

I pray for Aura.

I pray for Nicole.

But I can say the prayers that I put out into God, he's brought it back to us and things just flow so easily.

Everything since January has been like very effortless and I always have felt like when that happens in life, you're living part of your purpose.

How much money your business has generated in revenue?

Since January we yeah we've hit six figures.

If there is a woman out there who wants to start her own business maybe she failed a couple times

or maybe she has to pivot a couple times but she's too afraid to start again what would you guys tell her?

Start within first and then after that you have to really sit down and write.

I like writing so just write out your plan make sure it's strategic

and then execute i love that no that's amazing self-belief is

so powerful yeah i believe so yeah

and you just have to have faith in god as well

like it's gonna get done god will never leave you nor forsake you i've started over multiple times

and i feel like every season taught me something just don't force it

because we naturally as feminine women are supposed to kind of just like sit back relax

and trust excuse me miss quick question for you how How old were you when you became a millionaire?

Oh, I was 21 years old.

You were 21 and you made your first million?

What do you do for a living?

I do business coaching online.

Did you grow up rich?

No, I did not.

Living on the south side of Chicago, I got my first job when I was 12 years old

because I had to start taking care of myself at a young age.

Is that what pushes you today?

Yes, it still pushes me today because if you have that poverty in your bloodline, you feel like you are the chosen one in your family to break those curses.

God chose you.

I know God chose me, so I keep pushing.

You're a follower of Jesus Christ?

Amen.

Yes, I am.

What do you do in your day-to-day life to keep that relationship with God strong?

Oh, I make sure I take picking up my cross daily serious.

And picking up my cross looks like making sure I stay around positive people.

I'm upstanding until marriage.

I don't even have sex.

I try my best not to gossip.

And I just try my best not to open up doors to the enemy because nobody is perfect.

That's amazing.

And I have to know because obviously you coach a lot of people.

What do you see a lot of women that are trying to build businesses doing wrong right now?

I see a lot of women posting random content but not knowing how to monetize that attention.

And understanding what's good attention and what's bad attention.

It has to make sense.

100

You have to target the right people.

101

If you had to build your personal brand from scratch right now, what would you do in order to become successful?

102

What I would do is I would come up with a persona.

103

Once I figure out what I want my persona to be, I would make sure that everything that I post aligns to that.

104

The way I speak, the way I dress, the way that I teach, the way that I connect with people.

105

And I would engage with as many people possible by starting conversations on my page.

106

So we can create shared values, shared beliefs, and shared enemies.

107

They're like, oh, I like her.

108

I want to stay here.

109

I want to follow her.

110

Oh, she sells something?

111

I want to buy from her.

112

And I would build from there.

113

What have you learned so far about making that much money so young?

114

What I've learned is that it's still hard.

115

You know, I think people think that it gets easier the more money you make, but it actually gets more harder because you have to scale.

116

Is it really important for a woman who wants to go into entrepreneurship to find the right man

117

or person in their lives?

118

I do think entrepreneurs should date entrepreneurs.

119

Really?

120

Why do you say that?

121

I mean, I can only speak about me and my partner.

122

We understand each other very well.

123

We both are very ambitious and we grow together.

124

If you're not growing together, you're going to grow apart.

125

And even the things that he talks about on a daily basis with business, I'm like, wow.

126

Aren't you happy you're dating a businesswoman?

127

Because aren't you glad I know what you're talking about?

128

There's a woman right now who wants to start a business, but she's too afraid to fail.

129

What would you tell her?

130

You can't fail if you kept going.

131

If your dream is big enough to pull you out of the bed every day, go at it.

132

Because if you're willing to just stop and call it a day, that means you don't want it bad enough.

133

Figure out what do you really want that bad and stay true to the vision that God gave you.

134

I can't believe we just stopped a young woman who made her first million at 21 years old.

135

Did you hear what she had to say, though?

136

It seems like all of them say the same thing.

137

They affirmated their first million.

138

They knew that the only way to be successful is by becoming an entrepreneur.

139

Let's go find another woman.

140

Excuse me, ma'am.

141

Is this your car?

142

Yes.

143

How are you able to afford a car like this?

144

I do Amazon.

145

I sell products on Amazon.

146

I've seen your stuff before.

147

Are you killing it?

148

Me?

149

Oh, thank you.

150

Well, you're killing it too, obviously.

151

So I'm a part of Hard Knocks Women.

152

I talk to successful women like yourself.

153

I'd love to chat with you outside of the car for 60 seconds, if that's okay.

154

Yeah?

155

All right, let's do it.

156

Okay, so tell me, how did you get rich?

157

I started selling on Etsy in COVID.

158

I was selling some face masks, and so I went my way to Amazon.

159

Two years later, I launched some dog beds.

160

I touched my first million, and it's been up ever since that.

161

What's the most amount of money you've made in a single year?

162

$1.7 million.

163

How old are you?

164

21. You're 21 and you're making a million dollars?

165

Yes.

166

What have you learned so far making that much money so young?

167

I have learned that it's a lot of responsibility.

168

You literally can go one place by yourself, but you can go so much further with a team of people that's helping push you further.

169

Did you ever outgrow people building these systems from your company?

170

Absolutely.

171

You know, I have some people that I just cannot talk to anymore, but the love is still there.

172

Even, you know, my parents, sometimes I have to realize that their mindsets are very outdated, and I have to outgrow the way that they taught me to think,

173

because it's just not reality anymore for me.

174

When did you know you wanted to quit this 9-to-5?

175

I worked multiple serving jobs.

176

I just knew working a job wasn't for me.

177

When you're at these jobs, they take away your creativity, they take away your path, your passion, so you just got to go after what you know God is calling you to be.

178

Did you ever deal with imposter syndrome making so much money so young?

179

Honestly, no. Even when people ask me, like, did I know I was going to make it?

180

I did.

181

I actually have a Bible journal in the car right now.

182

And a few days ago when I was at church, or yesterday at church, I was reading an old prayer.

183

And I was homeless, actually, sleeping in the car.

184

I had no money.

185

I had $93 to my name.

186

And I wrote that in the prayer two years ago.

187

I said, God, I'm sleeping in the car.

188

$93 to my name.

189

My aunt just died the day before.

190

And I was in the hospital for having an asthma attack because I was sleeping in the car.

191

And it was just a lot going on.

192

I'm so sorry.

193

Yeah, I know.

194

It's crazy.

195

But I wrote to God.

196

I said, but I know I'm going to be successful soon.

197

So I am not worried about it.

198

I am not stressed.

199

I trust you and I have full faith in you.

200

And when I look back and I read those prayers, I know my heart was 100% all faith in God.

201

Like I really had no worries.

202

I knew I was going to be at this point one day.

203

And you need to have that type of delusional self-belief to make it.

204

So you've never dealt with doubt?

205

No, honestly.

206

I just knew.

207

I know life is like, you can do anything.

208

You can literally do anything.

209

And if you really know that, if you teach yourself that every single day, you're going to become whatever you want to become.

210

Does someone teach you how to go where you're at?

211

Or you learn this all by yourself?

212

I learned Amazon completely by myself by doing it.

213

A lot of people would be surprised.

214

It's not as hard as they think because it's Amazon.

215

A lot of people shop on Amazon.

216

You can launch something super saturated and still get sales.

217

It's just about the rate of consistency you get sales at.

218

You know, if I launched toilet paper, I'd probably get like two sales a month, but it's a $4 product and two sales a month isn't going to cut it.

219

So you got to look for the markets where you can stick out more.

220

It's a little bit more niche, higher ticket products is what I mainly go for and

221

that way you're able to get more of a higher consistency of rates

222

and you're able to scale faster as a brand new seller

223

did you ever have to sacrifice anything pretty much everything i

224

don't drink i don't smoke i don't really talk to guys

225

i was just telling her like i wish you know i had

226

that part of my life unlocked

227

but i really have nothing to do with men nothing to

228

do with partying i've never been to any of these clubs

229

out here in miami i've been here for two years i never been to none of the big clubs

230

and yeah i guess i sacrificed all of that stuff in my 20s

231

but I prefer to work you know that is what I like to do.

232

What's the best advice you've been given about business that you take to this day?

233

I'd give you the most recent one my multi-millionaire friend Z gave me when we were at lunch a few days ago.

234

He has much nicer things much nicer cars all of that

235

and I really do look up to him as like a friend

236

and a mentor and he said to me

237

when you're making a decision you have two options you can make a decision

238

and pray it goes well and just stay in your comfort zone

239

and let it ride or you can make a decision in life and make it be the right decision.

240

Make it be the best decision you've ever made.

241

Every time when you say you're going to marry someone, make sure you make that a good decision.

242

That's all on you.

243

When you're making these decisions, everything is our fault in life.

244

And if something goes left, then it's something you were doing lacking during the process.

245

That is the reason why it didn't work.

246

So if you start a business, you have to make it be the best decision.

247

I love that.

248

What is the best advice you can give to someone that wants to start a business right now at 18?

249

If you're 18 and you want to start a business, I would say focus on what type of skills you want to have with this business.

250

So if you want the skill of communication, look more into sales, look more into those type of business models where you have to talk to people, you have to sell them on something.

251

I can't believe Miami has this many young millionaires just walking around.

252

My key takeaway from this is that you could start at any age.

253

There is literally women out there who are starting from broke

254

and living out of the cars to now making millions of dollars.

255

And you and I can do it too.

256

Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment on who your favorite entrepreneur woman was.

257

And I will see you guys in the next one.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
