Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: Asking Wealthy American Women How They Got Rich!

I've interviewed dozens of millionaires and asked them the same question everybody wants to know.

How did you get rich?

But behind every successful person, there's someone behind them who has given them some advice, opportunities, or helped them avoid mistakes that could have cost them everything.

So today, I'm here in one of the wealthiest areas in America to figure out

if success is something you can actually do alone, or if the fastest way to get rich is to learn from someone who's already done it.

Let's get started.

Do you know what we are saying?

Don't put the line of your business to grow?

Don't you ever find there?

Well, that's not all the problem.

You're right off, I'm sorry.

It's the opposite moment again.

It's all the way to get to there.

I have all the confidence in the world.

Just send us the message out.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry if I can't get to it.

Welcome to the life.

Our pleasure here, bye bye.

Give it to each other someone let me know.

She, sorry.

I can't believe it came to the whole game saying that we need to understand.

Hi, that's why I like to be a good guy with me.

Didn't you know what?

See you, go ahead and share this day in my life.

Seriously I was never like to like to call anyone

So I'm a part of a channel called the School of Hard Knocks.

We started a women's channel, talking to successful women like yourself to give tips and advice to the younger generation.

I'd love to know what line of business you're in.

Oh, well, I'm retired.

You're retired.

What did you used to do?

I used to produce news, things like that, but Entertainment Tonight and things like that.

But you guys, you work hard, you're direct, you're ambitious, you're going to be great.

It's all about working hard.

I would love to know a little bit more.

Just 60 seconds.

60 seconds.

You know what?

I've done what you've done, and I'm really proud of you, but I have to go.

Thank you.

You guys are awesome.

You're going to do really well you

so much thank you have a nice day excuse me ma'am

question for you are you a business owner hold it real

fast hey meta pause music sorry i had music in my

ear what's up it's okay what line of business are you

in i'm in the business of doing whatever the i want tell me about

that what do you do for work well i've done all kinds of different things for work

but entrepreneurship is the way to go just know your passion that's my biggest piece of advice

and then capitalize off of that.

Who you are, what you love, do exactly that and you will never work a day in your life.

Are you doing what you love?

Absolutely.

What do you do?

Whatever the I want.

You own a business then, right?

How long have you been owning a business for?

So I've owned my own company.

I actually don't have it anymore.

Okay.

Oh, so you exited.

Yes.

I would love to know what business you did own.

No, I had my own production companies.

Tell me about that.

I just think that it was something that I love to do

and when you realize that nobody is waiting around for you, you can create whatever you want.

And I believe that when you're doing what your purpose is, it aligns very naturally.

You don't have to hustle.

You don't have to stress yourself out.

It's not about that.

It's about just knowing who you are, knowing your purpose, and then letting it align from there.

What's your biggest accomplishment so far in your career?

I have two Emmy awards.

Were you ever fearful?

I come from the school of hard knocks, which I love that that's exactly what you said.

So was I ever afraid?

No, I wasn't.

It's because it's just what I wanted to do.

So just go align yourself with amazing people.

That's most important.

Just let everything come together as it's meant to be.

Don't stress.

Just have fun with life.

The more you have fun, the more things just fall into place.

I'm telling you.

Take it from an old bird like me.

It's true.

Did anyone ever tell you no?

And what did you do when they did tell you no?

Everybody told me no. You kidding me?

I'm like, how can you say no to this?

Let's go.

And then people just eventually gave in.

I don't know.

But you know, you hear no all the time.

And I just think I always take it as a stepping stone.

You know, saying no just means it's just not where you're meant to be at the time.

100

And that's a good thing, because you're like, good, say no, so that I can find exactly what it is that I'm meant to do and who I'm meant to do it with.

101

Excuse me, ma'am, quick question for you.

102

How old were you when you became a millionaire?

103

So I'm gonna say 30s.

104

So what do you do for a living?

105

I'm a fashion designer and I do real estate.

106

So I'm actually part of the School of Hard Knocks team.

107

We started a Hard Knocks on this channel.

108

I love to chat for you in 60 seconds about your business, is that okay?

109

That's fine.

110

Yeah, cool.

111

So you said you're a fashion designer?

112

I am.

113

How long have you been doing this for?

114

I've been in fashion my whole life.

115

My grandma is a fashion designer.

116

I go, fashion is in my blood.

117

Is she your inspiration?

118

She is my inspiration.

119

What's the best advice she's given you, then, about fashion design?

120

There's no rules.

121

Break fashion.

122

Make something out of nothing.

123

That's so beautiful.

124

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

125

Enough money to buy my million dollar house.

126

A lot of people do fashion designing, right?

127

But not a lot of people make millions off of it.

128

What did you do differently than a lot of other people have?

129

I feel like, you know, not just fashion in general, like, just different sources.

130

You've got to put your eggs in different baskets.

131

You need a really good team.

132

Do you ever deal with creative burnout?

133

Yeah, of course.

134

We were burnt out all the time, you know?

135

But we gotta keep going.

136

Were you ever fearful of failing?

137

I think so, but I love it so much that I'll get right back up.

138

Just last year, I was in a bad depression for nine months

139

and then made it the most beautiful collection being depressed that it's now called heartbreaker.

140

So, from heartbreak to high grace.

141

That's actually beautiful, and I'm so sorry you went through that.

142

It's okay.

143

A lot of women deal with mental barriers all the time when it comes to entrepreneurship.

144

What is the best advice you would give someone right now who's also going through that?

145

Get up, you're unique, there's only one of you and that's all that matters.

146

Excuse me, ma'am, quick question for you.

147

How old were you when you became a millionaire?

148

I was 29 years old.

149

So I'm a part of Hard Knocks Women's channel.

150

I'd love to chat with you for 60 seconds.

151

Is that okay?

152

Absolutely.

153

So we own a global hair extension company.

154

We also partner with salon owners and help them become wealthy through their infrastructure, scaling, and exiting.

155

So I have to know, what do you think are the biggest mistakes a lot of women are making in the beauty industry when scaling their businesses?

156

They're making fear-led decisions.

157

It exposes the things that we may not be mastering or quite yet good at.

158

And so we just have to break through that

159

and just become good at those things and not be scared to do it.

160

Were you ever fearful?

161

Absolutely.

162

I'm scared every day.

163

You keep pushing through, right?

164

Absolutely.

165

It's the only choice because now, you know, I have 50 plus employees and I have to make sure

166

that they get to live their dream lives and it's not just about me.

167

I have to know, what's your best advice on managing people?

168

Because you said you have well over 50 employees.

169

So what do you tell people in order to scale their business to have good employees?

170

I think, you know, good humans become great employees.

171

When I hire someone, I don't really look for a specific skill set, right?

172

I'm really looking for just great humans because the skill set can be trained, especially with AI.

173

I love that.

174

And have you ever dealt with imposter syndrome at all?

175

Every single day.

176

Imposter syndrome is also a mindset because when you look at someone that is more successful than you, You should be asking, what is the gap between me and them?

177

Not having imposter syndrome and being in fear that you might not ever get there.

178

How do you show up as your best self?

179

I think just showing up as my best self includes me just remembering why I do what I do.

180

That puts me in the right mindset every day.

181

Did you ever have a mentor?

182

Absolutely.

183

I have so many mentors.

184

My best mentor is Brandon and Natalie Dawson.

185

They've helped me so much.

186

What's the best piece of advice they have given you that you take to this day?

187

Several years ago, I had a conversation with my mentor and he mentioned how I wasn't really a real CEO.

188

I was making more emotional decisions.

189

Instead of licking my wounds, I decided to do something about it.

190

That conversation has made me millions of dollars.

191

I love that.

192

And do you think the beauty industry is super saturated right now?

193

Oh my gosh, no. The beauty industry is a $64 billion industry.

194

It is massive.

195

There is so much room for all of us to win.

196

The one thing that I see people in the beauty industry

197

or any industry do wrong is they don't know what they're going after.

198

You have to decide what's the target that I'm going after and then go after it.

199

Everyone wants to be an entrepreneur.

200

Only like 1% of them actually make it like you.

201

So what was the key factor you think to make yourself that 1%?

202

You have to fall in love with the challenges.

203

You have to fall in love with being wrong.

204

You have to fall in love with failing.

205

And I think people just give up because it is hard.

206

And if it was easy, everyone was doing it.

207

But you have to go through those just uncomfortable phases and just kind of fall in love with being uncomfortable.

208

Really quickly, how old were you when you made your first name?

209

Have a great day.

210

Okay, thank you.

211

Yeah.

212

Excuse me, ma'am.

213

No, no. Okay, have a great day.

214

Excuse me.

215

Hi.

216

Do you guys own a business?

217

No. No. We'll do a good thing.

218

We don't want to.

219

We're on a channel just talking to the younger generation just about how to become successful.

220

You guys don't want to interview?

221

Yeah.

222

We're sure.

223

All right.

224

Have a nice day.

225

Excuse me, miss.

226

Is this your G-Wagon?

227

Yeah, it is.

228

How are you able to afford a G-Wagon?

229

I'm an entrepreneur.

230

I own a real estate finance company.

231

No way.

232

That's awesome.

233

What type of real estate do you do?

234

Commercial real estate.

235

Yeah, we finance commercial properties nationwide.

236

What's the most amount of money you've made this year?

237

Oh, I think, well, we have about $500 million in the pipeline, but all of that hasn't closed yet because we're waiting for the end of the year.

238

But yeah, we should do over a million dollars this year.

239

How are you able to scale your business to so much money?

240

Well, people, processes, and systems.

241

So it's all about, I think your network is your net worth.

242

And so if you have the right people to surround yourself with

243

and the right education to put systems and processes in place and core values that you're very aligned with, then you can continue to grow and attract the right talent and the right clients to scale.

244

And why did you choose to do commercial instead of residential?

245

Well, there's more money in commercial.

246

So commercial is just a big market and residential is much more emotional.

247

Commercial is more numbers driven.

248

So commercial real estate assets are bought for profits and residential is more bought for luxury, right?

249

You want to have a house to buy, to live in for your family.

250

But commercial real estate, you can buy an asset.

251

You can go add appreciation to it by increasing the rents, by renovating the property, rising your rents, making it a better property and then therefore you can pull out the money,

252

refinance once you appreciated the asset, and then you can rinse and repeat and continue to do the same process.

253

You did it all by yourself too, right?

254

Invested in your own self?

255

Yeah, I did.

256

I got my real estate license when I was 18 years old.

257

That summer before I started engineering school and college, I sold a piece of commercial real estate.

258

I took that profit, used it to buy my first investment property, which was a residential house.

259

It was a condo, actually a one bedroom condo here in Phoenix.

260

And then I added value to that house by renovating it.

261

And then from there, rented it out on Airbnb

262

and then continue to make commissions and reinvest the commissions into buying more assets

263

that I could add value to and rent out to increase my cashflow.

264

That's a super smart way to start it.

265

What would be advice that you'd give your 20 year old self if you could go back?

266

Love myself, not be so hard on myself, treat myself as kindly as I treat others.

267

I didn't learn, you know, I always thought money would be the answer to all my pain and to happiness.

268

And then when I became a millionaire at 25, I realized that I was just a miserable millionaire still.

269

So I had to do a lot of the inner work, a lot of the personal development and really peel back the layers of the resistance

270

and the self-sabotaging stories that I was telling myself and living by

271

and clear all of that out to get back to ground zero

272

so I could be able to start to create the things I wanted in my life.

273

Instead of trying to force them and be miserable as I tried to force things to happen.

274

Money can't buy happiness, right?

275

No, it can't.

276

It definitely can't.

277

I mean, it helps.

278

I've been, you know, had money and not had money and I'll choose money every single time.

279

And it can create a lot of happy experiences and a lot of service and impact and amazing things in life.

280

But I think money just accentuates more of who you are.

281

If you're already an unhappy person, money's just going to make you a wealthy, unhappy person.

282

How important is social media marketing for real estate in general?

283

Well, for me, it's been extremely important.

284

I was able to launch a new commercial real estate finance company called HB Capital and we're a new company.

285

I just launched that company last June and we're already doing a lot of loans, have a lot of you know multiple hundreds of millions of dollars of loans in the pipeline to close

286

and I have generated most of my business and relationships through social media by educating others, helping others grow, interviewing our clients, bringing them on the show,

287

helping promote them and their products so people can get to know them.

288

So it's been integral.

289

However, most people I know that are in commercial real estate, they're an older generation and and they did not build with social media.

290

So I think it's part of the edge

291

that I have being from a younger generation

292

and being able to get more exposure and to create more impact and value for others.

293

If there's any financial literacy advice you can give someone, especially at 25, what would it be?

294

Buy assets and let your assets pay for your liabilities.

295

Robert Kiyosaki, one of my mentors and dear friends teaches this.

296

The rich buy assets that put money in your pocket.

297

The poor and the middle class buy liabilities like credit card debt, car payments, your primary residence

298

that doesn't really put money your pocket that's a monthly expense every single month all of these things

299

that are liabilities and so what i did is i started buying assets with all the money

300

that i made appreciated the value of those assets held them over time rented them out

301

and i used that cash flow which would continue to pay me in my sleep

302

and that cash flow is what i started to use to buy liabilities

303

and some of the luxuries in life so i postponed buying the purses

304

or the clothes or the shoes or anything until i had enough assets

305

that provided enough cash flow to be able to buy those things

306

and then i didn't have to worry about it so much

307

because the money would replenish in my sleep so you're thinking long-term instead of short-term, right?

308

Yeah, everything I think of is a 10-year vision, right?

309

And so if I'm going to commit to something, anything that I do, is this something that I want to be doing in 10 years from now?

310

And every single successful person that I've ever met, and I surround myself by a lot of leaders that are all much more successful than me in multiple areas of life,

311

they all have long-term visions and they're very committed to a vision that is far beyond themselves.

312

And so most people that live mediocre lives, they just want instant gratification.

313

They can't see beyond what makes me feel good right now.

314

What do I want right now? what impulse do I have right now that I want to feed.

315

The truly wealthy and the truly successful people in all areas of their life, they don't care so much about the instant gratification.

316

They enjoy the journey.

317

They love what they're doing.

318

They're very passionate and excited what they're doing.

319

And so they can withstand the type of pain and suffering

320

and challenges that they're going to have to withstand to build something that will actually last.

321

What is your 10-year vision then?

322

Oh, well, I have a 50-page True North manuscript.

323

So where do I begin?

324

But I want to build my company to a billion-dollar organization.

325

I want to have an impact fund and raise capital from women and help empower women to rise.

326

And especially with this big transfer of wealth that's happening to women, a lot of them aren't spoken to.

327

Right.

328

So I want to speak to the women, help them rise.

329

And then I want a portion of the profits from my fund, which the fund is going to be used to finance commercial real estate projects for our clients.

330

And I want a portion of those profits to be part of my foundation, to go into orphanages and teach underprivileged children, entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence, self-love, self-compassion,

331

how to heal from their trauma

332

and use their trauma to actually turn their pain into purpose

333

and power and to be able to create whatever lives they want to live.

334

So I have a grand vision and I absolutely love what I do

335

and ultimately I just want to build an empire

336

so I can give it all away and have that passive income

337

that can help people for generations to come long after I'm gone.

338

That's beautiful.

339

I absolutely love that.

340

You said you had a mentor.

341

How many mentors have you had?

342

Oh my God, so many.

343

And you know, when I didn't have any money getting started, my mentors were always authors, you know, books, reading on Google, researching online and reading books.

344

So Rich Dad, Poor Dad was the first book I read at 13 years old on financial intelligence.

345

And that was a light bulb for me that made me understand

346

that poor and middle class work for money and the rich have money work for them.

347

And so if you start to see money as a tool to create more money and stop trading your time for money, then that allows you to create infinite abundance in your life.

348

And so that book gave me the knowledge

349

and the tools to set out on the path to go acquire assets

350

and start to use money as a tool and create assets

351

that are going to replenish money in my sleep

352

so I don't always have to trade my time for money and end up being a slave to money my whole life.

353

I love that.

354

What states is it the best place for any entrepreneur that's looking into doing commercial real estate?

355

What states should they go into?

356

Yeah, so the nice thing with AI is there's tons of market data out there right now, and you can really easily research demographics, politics.

357

You can see where the U-Haul moving truck reports.

358

You can see where people are moving into and where people are leaving.

359

And so since we finance commercial real estate, a lot of lenders like the Sunbelt states right now, generally states that are more landlord friendly.

360

And because there are certain states that are not landlord friendly, and it's very hard to get a property back if you foreclose

361

or it could take a long time and you can really increase your risk in those states.

362

So I like the Sunbelt states right now.

363

A lot of lenders like the Sunbelt states.

364

Arizona is great.

365

Texas is great.

366

Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, lots of those states.

367

And then the Rust Belt states where I'm stay, where a lot of lenders are staying away from right now.

368

And I personally don't love as much as far as my own investments.

369

That's more like Washington, New York, some of those colder states and also more politically charged states where they're not so landlord friendly.

370

And so wherever the money is flowing is really where we wanna focus on investing.

371

And that can shift over time.

372

Excuse me, miss.

373

How old were you when you became a millionaire?

374

Oh, I don't know.

375

Maybe 20.

376

How are you able to become a millionaire?

377

Real estate.

378

What do you do in real estate?

379

I own properties.

380

How'd you get into that?

381

My first job, I guess.

382

What have you learned so far in order to become a millionaire?

383

I guess you have to trust your instinct.

384

That's amazing.

385

So I'm actually a part of a channel where we're talking to a millionaire

386

and billionaire women and to giving them tips and success for the younger generation.

387

Do you mind if I chat with you just for a second?

388

I'm running late.

389

I'm meeting my daughter for lunch.

390

Just a couple more things, a couple more things.

391

Okay, so tell me, like, where are you investing your money at right now?

392

I'm buying properties, actually.

393

Yeah?

394

Yeah, right now in LA, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills is a great location because markets down.

395

Really?

396

That's so interesting.

397

Do you think this is the best state to invest in, or are there other states that you would go invest in?

398

I think California is a great time right now to invest because it's very down.

399

But New York is also, so I don't know.

400

I would recommend New York and California.

401

So where do you exactly get your money in order to invest?

402

What did you do?

403

Oh my god, I've invested in stock markets and real estate and I have income generating properties.

404

That's amazing.

405

Are you a mother?

406

Yes, two children.

407

That's amazing.

408

You're a mom, you have the kids and you have the career.

409

So do you believe you have it all?

410

Are you happy?

411

Of course, yes.

412

Yeah, very happy.

413

What are you teaching your children about investments?

414

I want them to learn and make wise decisions, so not be impulsive.

415

So there's decisiveness and impulsive.

416

I want them to be decisive, but do their research and then be decisive.

417

What type of risk is there in order to do real estate investment?

418

Oh, there's risk in everything.

419

I mean, without risk, then you're going to sit on the sidelines.

420

So you have to take chances.

421

What type of risk do you take?

422

Oh, big risks, big risks.

423

Yeah, I mean, bigger the risk, the better the reward.

424

So you have to sometimes just say whatever I have to lose.

425

Try something different.

426

That's amazing.

427

I love that what do you think is the biggest mistake people make when going into real estate investment?

428

I think they think too much.

429

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
