There is so much BS out there when it comes to how to actually be a millionaire.

you what secret traits that you need to have to become

the stuff that most influencers are too scared to say because it just simply goes against what society, what our weak, soft society is telling us right now.

So I guarantee if you stick around until the

end of the video, you are going to hear things and you're going to hear a fresh perspective that,

you know, maybe isn't that nice, maybe isn't all roses and fairy tales.

But I can tell you for a fact works and I can tell you for a fact, we'll get you to where you want to get to in life.

Now, the first secret millionaire trait, and

I have seen this with every single millionaire that I have ever met, including myself.

And by the way, this is even more especially true with the billionaire friends that I have.

And that is they think that they're special.

And in fact, to an extent, they even think that they're better than other people.

Now, I know a lot of you guys may take this the wrong way and you may think, oh, that's terrible to think that, you know, you're better than other people.

Now, bear in mind, you're not disrespectful towards other people, but in certain domains, you're better than other people.

You think Michael Jordan doesn't look at everyone around him and goes, yeah, I'm better than you guys.

Do you think that industry leaders and shakers don't look at

Now, when it gets dangerous, And I'm sure we all know these people are the ones that think that they are special, but they won't put in the work.

The reason you can think you are better than other people is because you have simply put in more hours more time and more work.

So listen, you should absolutely believe you are special.

You should absolutely believe that almost to an extent, you're better than most other people who are so brain dead, so asleep, are so scared to run towards the things they want in life.

So there is absolutely nothing wrong with having these feelings as long as you back it up.

Because if you don't back it up, then it is simply delusional.

And I will be honest with you, there are lots of people, as I said, I'm sure you know, lots of people that are extremely delusional.

They're like, I'm going to be a billionaire.

So let's not talk about billionaire status yet.

We should always have that feeling of being special, of being meant for more in life.

You know, I can tell you for a fact, growing up from the age of even 6 or 7, I just had that feeling that

I was destined for more, that something great

And I remember even, you know, in school at

the age of 13 or 14 years old, feeling a sense of like, yeah, I was better than my peers.

Even though at that time, I hate to use the word bullying, but I was being picked on heavily.

I was a complete outcast, a complete outsider.

Within the realm of school, I failed in every single arena you could think of.

And yet I still had that feeling of like, no, no, I'm working towards something bigger.

I was trying little side hustles and little businesses and this and that.

So in life, humility is extremely important.

And you should be able to assess your life situation and look at your life situation and not be like, as I said, these idiots that are like, oh, I'm gonna be a billionaire and they just sit on their ass all day and don't do anything about it.

And then you should put in a special amount of work, a special amount of dedication to prove it to the world.

Now, the next secret millionaire trait that you need to possess is you need to develop a high stress tolerance.

I tell people time and time and time again,

the more than likely most people think they want my life, but they don't really want my life.

employees between multiple various companies, managing that with complex different corporate structures and trusts around the world and investments and family planning and taking care of my mom and my friends and my loved ones, and managing that with all the social media, online BS and all the stuff that comes with it.

But I've told people the reason that I can deal with it

is because I have an extremely high stress tolerance.

don't believe all of this self-help BS that it's just gonna be all roses and fairy tales.

And if you feel stressed today, take a break.

You've done no work and you faced your first challenge, your first obstacle, but focus on your mental health.

It's absolutely ridiculous, the world we live in.

As I said, I like to talk very transparently

You will suffer from mental health issues.

In the same way, you cannot expect to be a world-class bodybuilder or be a bodybuilder that steps on stage.

And you say, I wanna be a bodybuilder and I wanna step on stage.

The second that it hurts, I'm gonna take a break because I gotta focus on myself and I don't wanna push myself too much.

And it's all about like taking care of yourself.

You know, if you want to have that mentality, that is totally fine.

You will never get to where you want to get to in life.

There's genuinely nothing wrong with that.

I think if you want to be some billionaire CEO or you just want to make 30, 40 grand a month, have some sort of online side hustle and surf all day, whatever you want to do, that is totally cool.

As long as it is a hundred percent congruent and honest to your life path.

I've told people many times when they ask me, I go, listen, I am built for this life because I have an insane stress tolerance.

But my life is not the same life that other people should live.

But the reason you clicked on this video is because you want to learn how to become a millionaire.

And as I said, if you want to get to that position, you need to increase your ability to handle stress.

Now, bear in mind, 1 thing I will say, it's not something that needs to happen overnight.

I can handle a certain level of stress in 2023 that I

In fact, some of my biggest businesses were the most amount of employees.

The reason that I didn't pursue or start those businesses or move forward with those businesses in 2018 or 2019, even though I was given the opportunity to, people wanted to start the businesses with me, give me equity, blah, blah, all this.

Because I simply knew that back then, I did not have the stress tolerance to be able to deal with it.

But as I said, don't come to the first roadblock and think, oh, it's tough.

This is it's you know, it's all meant to be roses and fairy tales.

I'm just trying to give you very clear expectations.

I think when someone can talk to you very openly and honestly and say that, listen, it's not all perfect.

I feel like at least you're a little bit more prepared to go into war.

So definitely I can say this about myself and definitely I can say this about some of the most successful people I know in any realm in life, by the way, any realm, whether that's sports, whether that's business, whether that's even a high income career working for a very lucrative company,

you need to be able to handle a high level of stress and embrace it.

a millionaire that simply isn't talked about enough is your charisma and your ability to persuade.

Now, of course, everyone knows this, you know, everyone knows it, but people don't place enough emphasis on it.

Bear in mind, most people don't assume this about me.

But if there's a time and a place where I need to be, I'm extremely charismatic because I understand that people like to listen to people who carry themselves in a certain way, who have a certain aura.

I said, that doesn't mean talking the most.

And you need to understand that if you don't learn charisma,

if you don't learn persuasion, You will be underpaid and you will be under booked.

So listen, whether you're trying to land a high income career, whether you're trying to sign clients and get business and sign deals as a business owner, or you're trying to be charismatic in order to inspire people to work for you at your company.

So real quick, guys, before we get to the fourth trait, I get so many requests for Q&A.

You guys want me to answer some of your business questions, answer questions that are specific to you and your career and your life path.

YouTube is not really the place for me to do it.

And my personal Instagram is just a joke to me.

It's just where I post some photo dumps from holidays.

So that's why very recently I started an Instagram called Talk with Eman.

And that's where once a week and I try my best to do it once a week.

Don't kill me if it's not every single week, but I try my best.

I answer your guys's questions and try to give you some real time business advice.

So if you've ever had any questions for me and you wanted me to help you out, go ahead, pull out your phone, type in talk with Eman.

You can follow me on there and stay tuned for the next Q&A.

You want to focus on mastery, not passion.

And this is another big thing I've been telling people for years.

I've started to look at the self-help industry and realize just how much bad it's doing for the world.

Like just how astray it's leading people.

Trying to tell people, hey, focus on your passion.

Let me tell you something, what you're passionate about today, you won't be passionate about in a month.

And sometimes your biggest passions in life, when money is involved in it, it doesn't stay a passion anymore.

So what you're passionate about today is not

what you're gonna be passionate about in 30 years, but what you commit to today, you will still be

at something and you know that, you always enjoy it.

You may not be over the moon, passionate, elated about it all the time.

to continue doing it because you understand how much blood, sweat and tears went into it.

So in life, don't focus on your passions.

Now, once you're a master at it or once you're very good at it, then you can add some other skills on top of it.

And that's really where you sort of stack your abilities and stack the portfolio of things that you're very good at.

thing is just please stop it with a passion.

The things that you are passionate about should be your hobbies.

That's your off time, because those things can always change.

But when it comes to your work, when it comes to your career, focus on something where you hate it for a long time.

This is where I have so much respect for the Japanese culture because I see it time and time again.

In Japan, teenagers will come on as apprentices and learn how to make knives and they will do that for

And I can tell you for a large portion of it, they probably hate it or they find it boring, but it doesn't matter.

They find something and they stick to it.

And I think that's that's really what's missing in modern society is everything just needs to feel good and feel positive.

The next secret millionaire trait is you need to have an ego.

I don't care what religion you prescribe to.

I don't care what you believe in unless it's atheist.

That's just the 1 thing I have never gotten behind, and I don't think I could ever get behind.

But pretty much everything else, as long as you know that there is something bigger than yourself and that humbles you and you let life humble you and you put yourself through difficult situations where life continuously humbles you, then your ego will stay in check.

But that doesn't mean don't have an ego at all.

At my companies, the reason that I demand excellence from my team and me is partly ego.

I love the fact that I know my team is the sharpest in an industry.

I love the fact that when we roll out a new feature on my software company, I'm like, those guys didn't do it.

Those guys have been around for 6 years and we came in the last 2 years and completely blew them out the water.

Think about the best people in any industries in the world.

They always tell themselves, hey, whatever you can do, I can do better.

As long as they still submit to a higher power, a religion, a belief, whatever it is, as long as they do some sort

of prayer, meditation, even just gratitude, just something to humble themselves.

And as long as they put themselves through very difficult life situations that, as

I said, will humble them, will put them in their place.

Yeah, sure, I accomplished a fair amount in my age and I understand a lot of people look up to me, but that's why I always put myself in very difficult situations where I know life is gonna humble me and I'm gonna be put in my place as it should be.

So as long as you do that, don't listen to this whole self-help world.

The sixth secret millionaire trait is that they're always thinking what could go wrong.

And once again, as I said, it's very different to the whole self-help world because they're always thinking positive affirmation, blah, blah, this, that.

1 of the biggest reasons that I got to where I am in life is because I do a lot of visualization before bed.

But what I visualize, you know, for example, growing up, I never visualized buying a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce or buying my mom a $4 million house in cash.

I never visualized those things because I knew that if I do the right actions, those things are gonna come.

And those things have come, I've done all those things.

but I focused on it being difficult, what I would do when things got difficult, and me getting past that.

Let's say you really struggle to wake up in the morning.

You visualize getting up when the alarm goes off in the morning, but it's difficult.

You prepare yourself for it to be difficult.

You prepare yourself to wake up and just be like wanting to hit the snooze button and you have every reason not to get out of bed and you fight with your demons and you still get out of bed.

Because when you wake up in the morning, you only have 1 chance per day and you might fail.

So you're gonna have to wait until the next day to

mind, which by the way, can't conceive between reality and imagination.

That's why visualization, especially before bed, is such a powerful tool.

In your mind, You can practice waking up 15 times in your imagination before you wake up the next morning and you can imagine it being difficult and you trying to convince yourself to stay in bed, but still getting past it.

So that, for example, is an exercise in always thinking what could go wrong.

this day, I'm always thinking what could go wrong.

I'm always looking at all of my businesses or my structures or this.

I'm thinking, hey, maybe if this partner in this business tries to fuck me over, you know, What do I do in that situation?

And it's not negative thinking, it's just preparation.
