Ima be rich one day.
OK me too
We will, until this year ends
Ima be rich two day.
can’t just say it bro
@@jrsyn674 thanks man 👍
I think we already have the motivation
what we lack is discipline.
I think I agree!
My cousin who is a professional thai kickboxer and has a black belt in karate said that you increase your discipline by doing something that isn’t really fun constantly like going to the gym , eating healthy and reading . You might not think it’s fun but your future self is gonna thank you for your consistency and discipline
Indeed!!!
Totally agree 💯
@@Maarz99 Yes he's telling the truth. I started Thai Boxing, and it is boosting my discipline. One of the best decisions in my life
I’d say, if you want to follow your passion, learn marketing skills and how money works. Most people miss this part.
We agree! motivation is important but you also need to know marketing and how to reach people who believe in your passion and dreams
this is messing my head up so much. I know I shouldn't follow my passion but I see a gap in the market for it
..and Passion is where we can go breezy..., isn't it?
No need to follow passion when you lead with it. You can bring passion wherever you go!
I second that. My money management was incredibly terrible until a year ago and it made me waste most of my hard earned income like there's no tomorrow -.-
In simple terms "Turn the problem solving into your passion"
@El Bearsidente Lmao
@El Bearsidente Like Iraq's supposed possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Well that i what I am doing right now. I have my passion "Film making". I just started to specialize into one field, "music videos". Reason: I can still be creative even if the ideas are from the musicians. So i solve problems. As I am just starting out... I still do a few clips for free, but the next ones are gonna be paid.
Every school teacher needs to show this video to his/her class.
Wow thankyou so much
School is not supposed to make someone rich
Exactly, it’s supposed to keep people poor.

I believe in having a balance between what you need & what you want. Once they put together there can be both peace and conflict.
people dont realise, the candle the meditating music, the focus that drives towards the speech of iman, the tone he speakes with, get you so fucking zoned in. the edits, how they keep your attention, your YT is a piece of mastery business art.
There are plenty of channels like that
@@Tristiam he didn't said it was unique or rare'
cyberslurping
you are highly mistaken sir, people do realise this. The simple message of this video is put in the shadow of the overediting, constant change of camera angle, zoom in and cut music for emphasis etc. it all distracts us from what could have been a good, simple video with a strong message. Don't mistake redundancy with quality mate
Basic psychology stuff. Edward Berney invented it and has been used in marketing, ads and tv commercials since. And YT is becoming exactly. That. People who think the media and telly will die are idiots. YT is becoming the telly and media lol
bro's camera quality is impeccable
The shirt is lit too!
He is passionate abt that
Just a good camera, did you expect him record on Android
I am 56 years old, what I realize is that the final goal in your own life is mentally you have peace and physically you have good health, What else you can forever own in this temporary life？
Wise words. I know your comment will be seen by whomever it's meant to be seen by, but I'm hoping people will take this advice and focus on this. Thank you
That’s bs.. you need money to have peace and good health !
Best food cost money
Not having to worry about getting fired or paying your bills or breaking your arm and going broke will bring you peace
@@aminerezki So basically you're saying that money buys you happiness
@:P It's all in your mindset.
@:P I feel you. I've been there before with that mindset. But along the way, I found that I didn't need materialistic things to keep me happy. That's not true happiness.
"The only way to really make money is by providing a service or product that the market really NEEDS or WANTS." This is the formula to a successful business... solving people's problems. I like how you said that the problems don't have to be "colorful problems", they just need to be practical. Practicality, while it sounds really simple, is often overlooked by people wanting to break into the business world. Sometimes you gotta focus on the basics!! Thank you for another great video Iman.
You look pretty successful lol, im 19 and about to receive about 45k from a deceased family members house. Im working a 9-5 at the moment but I’d love to quit it and turn this 45k into a lot more and make more as I think I have an amazing opportunity to from this lump some of money, any advice on what you would do if you were in my position? Thanks
@@webb555 Sure. First get advice from someone who is knowledgable and experienced in the world of finance and wealth building. For example, a financial advisor or business owner. Not strangers on the internet 😁. Second, that's a great position you are in - start focusing more on the goal, and less on the route, as Iman mentioned. You've got this 💪.
@@webb555 Sorry for your loss.
If you don't find something to do with the 45k you could always hand it to me
@@SniperNator305 you’re a very thoughtful man!
So how to find what people want/need?
"Follow your dreams" is great obvious advice for people from rich families... I'd also say that one of the most important things is to make sure your health is alright. No passion can heal you because we live in our physical bodies, so we need to have a home, eat good food, etc. It's possible to literally achieve anything if you're fit and healthy. Harvard MBA admission isn't pleasant if you have an anxiety disorder or insomnia.
He does have a strong point but, don’t forget that life is short and time goes fast so is up to you to decide if you keep postponing your dreams and passions for money or give it a shot even with all odds against, whatever you choose to do just make sure you feel comfortable in the future looking back at your past.
And if you keep postponing work for your passion, you're going to end up with neither
Exactly, also let’s be real. A lot of it has to do with timing and the right place and people. This is one of the most important things when it comes to success.
When you're passionate about something , you perform very well in it , that's a fact .
I personally followed my passion and it took me further than what I planned for as I excelled at it, and now have bigger goals using the same and one of my passions.
What is that passion out of curiosity?
@@SlothMotions Game dev
@@achrafsaad That's awesome it's been working out, I got to do voice over work for a new game dev recently and it's really cool seeing all the different milestones he hits. Hope it's been similar for you (:

The man who loves walking, will always walk further than the man who loves the destination. Following your passion gives purpose and allows someone to grow while enjoying it. I believe it is necessary to build other skills directly linked to income and money if the passion doesn't. Like if you agree
I agree that following your passion is a good thing, but we should spend time learning about our passion (For example, filmmaking) and get better at that thing, but also learn how to make money so you don’t have to worry about finances while doing what you’re passionate about.
Passion and success aren’t mutually exclusive. My passion kept me “poor” while working other jobs to be “practical” and while I paid my bills and saved, I was miserable.
If you want to take the island, burn the ships. I went all in for my passion and it paid off and now it’s successful. And successful to me is being able to fund and live the life that I want to, and that happens to be right around 100K.
Not everyone wants to be abundantly wealthy, this mindset is subjective.
As long as you're practical and strategic, you can absolutely follow your passion. In fact, I think it's most powerful if you can engage both your head and your heart. Some of us are skilled in the arts and we have no choice but to follow our hearts. What most artists don't do, though, is study business and entrepreneurship. We're not just artists, we're entrepreneurs, and we need to be able to function as both in order to succeed.
great point. I feel the same. Many are doing amazing melding passion and practicality so this just isn't quite accurate.
Exactly 💯
ya the problem with iman is his life revolves around money, likely because he didnt have any growing up. its pretty sad tbh
The 3rd one makes sense in my experience, but I believe that having everything in life revolve around money in the way you are describing is honestly soulless and not a life worth living. If passion and emotion isn’t at least a little bit involved in all the aspects of my life I don’t really want to have that life
He’s saying in terms of career and money making. He’s not saying “don’t have passion” he’s saying “keep passion out of your career coz they won’t mix well”
If you’re reading this, know that you are worthy of anything you desire. But you might have to let go of the past and release the huge accumulation of fear based beliefs and emotions you have picked up since childhood. Success isnt created by accident but by design. You have a creative mind and unlimited potential. Never forget it. Stay strong and be blessed.
im going to be honest here. one of the many reasons I keep watching your videos is because of the QUALITY. the music, the edits, the camera, the colour correction and etc. keep it up!
I’m going to be honest here, thank you for your comment
Yeah he runs an smma. Tf u expect
I am an editor and I can say, that he does everything, literally everything to keep you watching: changes the angle of the camera, uses great music, zooms etc. But yeah, his videos are the highest quality on TH-cam.
@@philipG. happen to know what the music is?
Thanks for being honest.
Definately changed my perception of life, thanks!
I followed my passion at 16 and became a mechanic, but for extra money I try to create my own business so I can still follow my pation and still make even more money.
I personally think this practicality is part of the passion. The question is: what outcome are you excited/passionate about? Whatever you have to do to achieve what excites you is part of your passion. Iman said himself that he is excited to wake up and work on his goals. To me that is a part of the passion. The act is the act done.
That is the reason one TH-camr said,
Do not follow your passion,
But always carry it with you. :)
I agree, the way he said it sounded very ignorant in my opinion. Following your passion in a strategic, practical and long based goal way is a part of the passion. Following your passion doesn't mean to have fun everyday or love every step of the way, it just means that you put all your grit, effort and sweat into making your passion work as a reality career, and that includes realistic planning and practical work by default.
Now you may make or not make it, but if you don't even make the effort you will most likely have a lingering anxiety in your gut for the rest of the life telling you "What if..". Because that's what it means to have a passion, it's stronger than just a hobby or interest, it's basically an obsession that you really can't shake away.
@@Thadnill well said
You hit the nail on the head
the sense in life = earning money = Don’t follow your Passion but follow the money
One rule: Money is does not define success in life, it only defines wealth. Success is another league
yeah this guys acting like people only pursue things to become rich. just not the truth
@@robbiehocking2016 Well, it gets the little 16 year old losers to think they need to get rich before they're 20 and his course will fo sho make em mad rich
@@ANDR14. i get that, it’s just annoying that the only thing associated with success is money
@@robbiehocking2016 How else would you measure it? I an artist/illustrator. I post my stuff online. If I am successful, my art will attract people. That will bring in money through clients, product sales etc. I am not chasing the money. I wanna become an internationally respected artist. That WILL make me money as a by product tho. And if I don‘t succeed, that means my art doesn‘t attract people and therefore makes me no money.
So basically: An artists, that never earns a dime with his art, can‘t be considered successful in this day and age. If his art would be appealing to people, he‘d somehow make money off of it, even if he isn‘t really chasing the money. Opportunities would come automatically, since his art is appealing to many people, including people and companies that wanna pay him.
@@OZEEtube Well, I'd say that money is not the only factor that determines success. You can be a millionaire but still suffer from anxiety, depression, materialistic obsession, etc. Money is just a tool to solve problems easier, but not the way to measure "real success".
I'd say that real success is simply measured in how content you are in life, your choices, your purpose and what you do with it. If you're not at peace with yourself despite the overflow of money then you're not really a "success". If you're extremely poor then you're most likely not successful either, it's not that black and white, I believe success is a combination in being authentic to yourself. your purpose and what you do in your life - and in addition to that also have enough tools/recourses (money) to live a decently comfortable life.
Someone who chases money just for the sake of chasing money will most likely be stuck in the hamster wheel and feeling a void that's constantly being filled with materialistic distractions, but someone who ignores the value of money will suffer a lot too but in different and opposite ways, neither is really good.
Bro thats incredible. This thought „following my passion does not have to mean that i get the results i want“ was in my mind for a while now and now i see your video. Thats just an confirmation for me that i was not wrong. Thank you !
If you’re working at something you enjoy, everyday is exhilarating. If you are suffering at work, every day is painful. When you get tired, passion is going to keep you pushing towards your goals.
Agreed
But here is the dilemma: how to turn an overtime business into an easy and profitable business? Are you ready to buy practical but ugly things to get out of the losses instead of forking out and pleasing your inner aesthete/ego? Are you ready to fire cute, funny, but inefficient employees? Etc.
@@mishynaofficial if you're already working your passion, profit is not a priority. you may not have the best products, or make the most revenue, but you already feel fulfilled and full of energy every morning just for the fact you exist in that space. profit is just icing on the cake. if you have to be the top or have to be rich doing your passion, then is it really your passion? on the flip side, a person's passion can simply be the making of profit, and that's just as valid too.
@@mishynaofficial
The problem of the video here is the guy is a fucking snob. He said it so many times in tge video by using the word poor and saying he attracts rich people.
You need to know your standard.
Do you wanna be rich? Or do you just want to follow your passion and be content if it can sustain you?
I for example have worked in so many different jobs amd I could solve there problems in a heart beat as a consultant. But as I am not a consultant per se, noone wants to listen to me. And any otger job I hate. They all make me feel useless, unapreciated and exploited. So I got depressed. Now after some help I got better and noe I do what I love. Which is film making. True. I am not earning any money and I am even spending some. But I love what I am doing and I don't even care. And noe some people come to me for some videos and I say yes or no wheather they pay and under what conditions.
So don't follow your passion is also a lie. Just cause it didn't work for that guy in the video doesn't mean it's a lie. He just got a taste of money and wanted to pursue money. Good for him. Is this your priority?
Than solve a practical problem. How? Well that he doesn't say. Why? Cause all rich people don't want to get other people rich.
It's all a side of the same coin.
You cannot have Light without darkness. And you cannot have darkness without light.
@@mishynaofficial there is an overlap where your passion CAN be profitable. For instance, I wanna be a filmmaker that is actively producing quality entertainment and telling stories that resonate. But that requires a lot of work and connections/networking and a budget. So for now I gotta focus on addressing the problems within the educational system by offering tutoring in STEM, ie: math and science (subjects that are notoriously hated). I wanna be able to tutor CLASSES of students to the point where it can become almost like its own institution. Furthermore, because I myself used to be a student, I am going to instruct in a way that’s practical and utilizes real world applications.
This is so right, i'd rather work hard to earn money so I can do what I passionate about without worrying about anything. That's literally the thought that I set in my mind.
The problem that I want to change… the broken family … that’s also my passion…
“Solve problems accordance to your skillset”
As a property investor, the most important thing that Iman implies is a discipline. Most people lack of discipline. They cannot stay consistently enough to see their business grow.
"Some call it selling out, I call it the curse of making money from your biggest passion." .
Facts, man. 💯 This needs to be said.
Honestly it's a blessing and a curse being at such a level where people call you a sell out simply because you cater to what is popping right now
Hi Iman
I am 17 years old, all the way from South Africa I've just started my agency, but I am almost there with reaching my first client it is a process, but thanks to the videos I am working on it. Doing at least 1-2hrs a day of (during the week) and I also do 4hrs a day of outreach during weekends, but I am enjoying my journey thanks too you for being a mentor of mine and for being someone I actually look up too!!
can i ask for help, I'm from Ethiopia and 17 can you please help me especially with the "finding a niche" oart
Wishing you guys luck
We 17 year olds are out here keep grinding bro
I'm a month away from completing high-school and thanks to you I finally know what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I'm also 6-8 months away from finishing high school
Hey man, I’m curious about your plans you mind taking a minute off your day to tell me? I’m sure other people might also be interested 💪
Do tell bro I’m interested
Good luck. And remember, never follow your passion!
waste management executive
He really stepped up on the delivery of these videos, the editing is insane!
Following your passion will make u happier than money will
100% true, thanks for clearing my doubt, i also used to think the same way but was little confused, now my confusion is gone
I think finding something that you’re really passionate about is actually the key to building wealth. You want to be in the top percentile of whatever you are doing and the only way to get there is to put in an insane amount of time and energy (10k-20k hours), and the only way you are going to be able put in that time and energy is if you love what you’re doing.
Agree man, also there are two types of poor. poor in the heart and poor in money. i think that he is only talking about money and not about happiness and joy which is what we all look for anyway. I think we have to mix both, provide a sevice or product of what we love
@@lucioberman Agreed. A cool concept that relates to this is Ikigai. It's a Japanese idea about finding your purpose or reason for being. It's a great way to explore possible careers that will make you money and give you fulfilment.
Indeed, but after let's say 100 hours or 200 hours if you really like what your doing, you are going to not feel like going to let's say practice basketball, that is why discipline is the key to success.
agree
You are right. But some people don't have the capacity to merge their passion and income source. The video shows the alternative way on building wealth. You can choose either way.
Finally someone gets it I never understood you have to follow your passion
i remember when i was little and i use to open up my toys and see how they work its like back in 2005 and i opened up a remote controlled car that ran over a battery and i was like when i grow up ill make a car that will run on battery more like an electric car and when i grew up i never read machines
Just got home from school, and saw this, Great start to the day.
Damn, this brother Iman really keeps it real
I LOVE how he specifies revenue and NET INCOME. Basic terms that tell the whole stories. Just saying revenue misleads so many ppl into thinking that you are keeping all that money.
I don't care much about being poor as long as I'm happy. Spending any moment of my life doing things that drain out my happiness just doesn't make sense.
I’m going to be successful in all aspects of my life. Starting with my lifestyle
Following a passion is such as American mentality and I now see why my family overseas has so much distain over it. I’m a designer but I make six figures from finding a niche I didn’t really care about and sell templates.
I think we need to find a passion that the world needs
One of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam for a while. Thank you for creating this.
Man thank you for opening so many ppls eyes(I’m one of them)I’m chasing my dreams either way but I gotta look at reality and find other ways to get rich fr
I love watching your videos. They‘re really helping me find my way👍
This is the realest advice!
My guy.. the quality is going through the roof! That looks REALLY professional. Hats off!
Thank you , your such a big inspiration to us all keep it up!
I was constantly overthinking and procrastinating on what business to start, this video is really the mindset I have now. Another W vid from Iman as usual.
Bro I experience the same thing. How do you deal with it?
great edits, great content, great music, great delivery. You are fxxking amazing, fxxking role model for every content creator
I definitely needed to hear this. I shut my creative side off for years and realize this was one of my biggest mistakes. Learning how to be more creative and practical at the same time. Thank you for posting this
Thanks mate, now I understand what Iman meant !
That’s great, what exactly did u shut off and what is it that you wanted to do.
What if I don’t want to be rich…
and just want to do what I enjoy doing every day and make enough to make ends meet? Anybody else here in that camp?
Nothing wrong with being poor. My passion enriches me.
Hit me up for More insight and advise 👆👆👋👋
nothing as long as you are happy and are living comfortably. Sadly there are just some people who think that money is all that matters in life but its not.
You are the GOAT bro! Pure advice brother! You're helping me a lot!
I dont think it is my passion that is keeping me poor, but my crippling addiction to clash of clans micro transactions
Truly addicted to your videos.
And i just learnt this lesson a few weeks ago!!! I realized that in order to make some money i need to do something i dont like. Tough pill to swallow, i must be honest.
`In business emotions make you weak’ damn you’re talking abt proper facts , this truly touched my mind now.
This has to be one of your best videos yet. Thank you for sharing Iman!
Thank you man! ❤
"Told by self help Gurus out there" - Bro you're one of em
Lemme guess, u had something u were passionate about and it never panned out they way you wanted it so u gave in and now you've found some stability financially and so u think you were wasting your life and now you're spreading that version you have of life. Kudos.
Bro is an earth sign 💯
Thank you for the inspiration
Always agree with you 100% Iman ❤️🙏🏻
WE’RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT BRAH
Love the wisdom you bring at such a young age.
You will do great things for the world.
Only pushback on this message here is that my wife and I are biz partners and making millions. Best thing to ever happen to our marriage
That Hublot Slander got me 😂
THIS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE AS YOU FOR A LONG TIME
Iman, Dast Khosh!!!
That right there my friend, is what I also recently had noticed and needed a confirmation from someone who has been there and done that.
You will always be successful because you pass the knowledge on I really respect this gentleman.
This guy is wiser beyond his years. As I'm watching this video, an idea for a baby business popped in my head. Babies are always in style. I am not sure if I want to be a business owner, but I'd like to probe this idea. I'm gonna watch your business idea videos
Thank you Iman!
gadzi spitting facts like always
The plus about being passionate is that it will give you the drive to achieve your goal.
I agree with you Iman. This might be your best video bro. Carefully thought out and intelligent points being made. Keep em coming 2023 is on the way. Let’s go
Nicely done Iman, that advice is great for me at the moment. 🤙
Me too, been contemplating this a lot recently
Iman, thank you dude, this video has really made me reconsider the viability of my plans. I followed my passion and started a degree in philosophy, paying for myself while doing so and scraping by from working dishwashing jobs. It's been really tough, but my love for the subject keeps me going forward. My dream is to bring philosophy into the education system in South Africa, the country I'm from, at high school level. There is (as I see it) a strong need in my country for the cultivation of critical thinking skills, which are essential both in business and in making citizens more politically aware and engaged, and I am privileged enough to be in a position to start something like that. But my project is more of a humanitarian type than a business (I don't make money with it, and rely on donations only). Nonetheless, thank you for opening up a topic that most people wouldn't question for questioning!
So good that they can't ignore you!
*”You learn more from failure than from success. Don’t let it stop you. Failure builds character.”*
This is what we hear everywhere but the truth is, some or even most people are confused of how or when they will encountered failure in life.
*IT IS WHEN YOU START PURSUING SUCCESS (What You Want To Become )*
But when you encounter failure, do not give up, continue, because you will achieve it if you continue.
You Will Make It After You Start And Never Give Up (/)
I’m a 16 year old, and I really look up to you Iman. I’m learning things from you unfortunately, my parents can’t teach me.
No matter what I think everyone is doing their best.
this man is incredible, peace Iman🤝🙌
*Important* thing to remember is that this is just one guy, one person's opinion.
I wish this applied to everyone. I’m a nurse. I’m doing this job for practical reasons. Yet my job expects me to be compassionate and have some emotion. Kinda the paradox
So far the most eye opening vid . great work man!
Iman... you speak what you have done and gone through... we can feel it.... thanks
you are my inspiration i love man🙏🙏
You are changing my WHOLE mindset and I am loving it!!!
Seems the bots are attacking you, need help?
@@stompernaut they are spamming every comment
Thank you!!! Someone finally said it
“Wealth is built through practicality, not passion”
So what about literally any famous and successful athlete, musician, actor, artist, songwriter, director, etc? That logic makes zero sense
Great video. I love relistening to it. Hopefully I'll start my own business soon, so these tips will come in handy. Off topic, but what is that deep-bass track you use, around the emotions section. It's really hypnotic.
THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT VEDIO
This is the type of video I needed to hear. Thanks man
Thank you! Finally someone said it! I learnt this lesson the hard way from my last business which I ended up hating because my passion had just turned into a job and all I was doing was chasing the next client not actually doing the work I was passionate about. I’ve learnt to keep these separate now. Still figuring out the solving a problem part for my next attempt because this whole “follow your passion” that is constantly been drilled into our heads is BS! By every guru out there and I’m like naaah man. Most of the people who’ve made it in a massive way are in pretty boring but practical businesses solving real world problems. You end up resenting the thing you love in the end. 100% on the money with this Iman.
its taken me a long time, but ive finally shaken the dreamworld version of my vision for my own future. Im learning skills towards cybersecurity. Im also an artist so I'm interested to see what I can do to blend those skills and find a gap I can fill. the Japanese have a word called Ikigai, which is the intersection of what you are good at, what you love, what you make money off of, and what the world needs. Good luck gents and ladies
