i thought money would buy happiness...

so look let me ask you a question do you think you should take advice from someone who's broke when they tell you money cannot buy happiness well of course not you want someone who can actually speak from experience and really tell you what is the reality of not just making a bit of money but making a lot of money I see two things on social media people who say that you know money isn't important it can't buy you happiness then I see the reverse I see the people who say that money can't buy happiness but

I'd rather cry in a Lambo than a Toyota and quite frankly both of those ideologies are wrong there's no Nuance there's no detail in there because in life it's not just about how much money you make there's a few other factors that come into consideration and I'm going to talk about that in this video in this video I will be explaining from the perspective of someone who has made tens of millions of dollars exactly what the cold hard reality of making so much money is actually like and by the way to make it clear the

reason I'm making this video is because in life it is actually quite important to be careful what you wish for it's important that when you commit to a journey you understand the path that lays ahead when I make this video it's almost like a professional body Builder or a professional freediver or you name anyone who takes something to I guess you would say the Extremes in a certain area of their life I think it's important in all these cases you know that they tell you hey if you want to get to a certain level that's

aspirational it's not all just positive here are the negatives that come with it so as I said I really want to make it clear in this video that nothing in life is just all positive I think the only things that can fall under that category are meditation journaling Peace Love gratitude those things like there's really no downside to doing those but apart from that when it comes to achievements specifically you know the things that people want to achieve or attain those always have drawbacks so I want to make you aware of the drawbacks and if

you still want to walk that path then don't tell you I didn't warn you now the first and most obvious thing that I'm gonna say is that money is important in fact it's very very important but the thing that most people forget is it's not just how much money you make it is the speed in which you make it and also how you make that money you see what I mentioned with speed is very very important if you make money too quickly and a lot of money in that case it will ruin your life it

will absolutely ruin your life because you have no grounding you have no roots to actually keep you from going off the rails and you see this all the time you see people who become very successful very very quickly and they don't have that grounding now bear in mind sometimes you'll see these overnight success where these people have been working for the past 10 15 20 years on their craft and then eventually they became an overnight success but that's okay because they have that grounding of all the work and all the time and all the effort

they put in so they know who they are they can look themselves in the mirror and know who they are with or without the success so please never ever dream that you can inherit the money or win the lottery because they said it will ruin your life because you will have resources and you will have money that does not match with your identity and the resilience of your character as the saying go with great power comes great responsibility and you need to be willing and you need to be ready for said responsibility so please never

ever wish for extreme riches and by the way when I say extreme riches I mean if you're making zero dollars right now and in a year you make twenty thousand thirty thousand maybe even forty fifty thousand dollars a month that's okay I'm saying if you go from your position right now to making you know Millions a year that will really really in your life especially if you don't have those roots and all of those years of working hard to really build up your character so that way without all of your externals you know who you

are as a person you know living in Dubai I see a lot of examples of this you know especially a lot of the crypto guys out here and by the way there's nothing against them whatsoever obviously life has just forced a very interesting situation on them but as I said I have witnessed with my own two eyes how it ruins people these people can never ever work hard again because they ended up making a lot of money with crypto and bear in mind in 2021 I made a lot of money with crypto but at least

I had you know six years of business background and I was still making millions a year with my business but I also knew hey a large part of this is luck I didn't think I was some genius Super Genius anything like that I knew that a large part of it was luck so just remember slow money is better you will feel far more fulfilled and you will embody the traits that you want to embody far more when you make your money slowly so now if you want to make money and actually enjoy it you know

that the slower you make your money the more fulfilling it will be when it comes and by the way this doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to make money as fast as you can because for 99.9 of you it will take far longer than you initially imagine it will to hit your financial goal so now that we've addressed the speed in which you make your money which most people never consider now we also need to think about how much now I can tell you honestly that I have felt my absolute richest when I was making

between 10 to 15 000 a month that was the quality of life where I felt the absolute most abundant now bear in mind I was 17 years old when I was making that amount of money in modern day times and you know with inflation everything that's happened especially over the space the last two years I would say if you can get to 20 to 25 000 a month you will have freedom and that is the most important thing in life now once you get to around a million dollars a year or so that is really

where you can start to afford more luxuries and you know you can afford more nice things in your life but also because you can afford more nice things when you do have the nice things kind of wears off you know like even just nice dinners and stuff like that it doesn't have as much meaning because you could technically do whenever you want a five thousand dollar holiday if you're making a million dollars a year you can go on you know five or six of those a year very very comfortably so it just doesn't have as

much meaning but I will say getting to a million dollars a year plus you feel a lot more Rich between that sort of 10 to 20 000 a month Mark but definitely getting to a million dollars a year it is a better quality of life now the stage that I'm at where I'm making most months a million dollars and that's in take home after tax profits obviously living in Dubai you know I can tell you that that is just excessive and unnecessary honestly so really anything past two million dollars a year onwards for me that's

the situation where I want to start warning you guys I really want to start warning you and just saying be careful what you wish for because it comes with a lot of extra headache that may not actually improve your quality of life as I said once you get past like honestly I'd say anywhere from a million to two million a year your actual quality of life doesn't really increase that much more but you get a lot more headaches that come with it and this rolls into the third thing that you need to analyze when you're

thinking about you know how much money you want to make you know let's say you you're thinking okay what's the difference between making five hundred thousand dollars a year and seven million dollars a year it's like of course you know on paper seven million dollars a year is better who would not want to send a million dollars a year over 500 000 a year but you have to ask yourself at what cost am I making the seven million dollars compared to the 5 hundred thousand dollars let me explain most people say they want happiness when

in fact what they want is freedom and most importantly a feeling of presence and peace like you know when you're just in flow or you're doing something or you're on a holiday and you're just truly present to the moment you're just with your friends you're laughing you're with your partner and it's like you don't have a care in the world and you can really just disconnect or let's say you're going on a hike and you can truly disconnect and enjoy that present moment well here's the thing you get paid in accordance to the size of

the problems that you solve and in order to solve big problems or do things that are exceptionally great you need to sacrifice a lot of the mental space that you have in your head so you need to understand the person that makes 10 million dollars a year plus in fact even three four million a year plus they're sacrificing a lot of mental peace that they can have in their head they have a lot of Chaos in their life because it is only through chaos that you can achieve extraordinary outcomes so for most people when they

think that they want the life of a multi-multi multi-millionaire in fact what they want is they want a life of Financial Freedom but not only that a life of Financial Freedom where they can actually enjoy it with peace and being present and actually enjoying the fruits of their labor what you want and I'm telling you from experience trust me when I tell you that what you want is not to be a multi-multi-millionaire and spend all this money on nice cars and nice clothes and expensive holidays and all that because like I'm telling you just gets

so boring so quickly you become so acclimated to honestly the pleasure that you get from it is zero and as I said the worst part is when you're trying to make multi-multi-multi millions there will never be a moment and I can tell you this from experience there will never be a moment you could sit on the beach in pure peace because you know that you have 25 employees or in my case between all my companies we're almost at 80 employees right now and as I said I can tell you it is very very very difficult

to sit on the beach in pure peace and Bliss when you've got this much responsibility you should really focus on having a lifestyle business where you can produce anywhere from 100K to a million a year and those are the sort of ranges that I've been able to find where you can actually put the right people in place where I can sort of run not on autopilot because passive income is a lie there's no such thing where your team will just work for you for the next 20 years and you're going to have no headaches or

anything like that but the point is where you can really put in a system in place and you're still involved you know maybe a couple hours a day online available you're still making decisions key hires stuff like that but without aggressively scaling you know even me I'm in a position right now we hired 17 people in the last 30 days I'm starting to bring on people in my company that I never thought I would need you know I can't believe I'm saying this I'm bringing on an HR person because of just a sheer amount of

employees that I have I'm bringing on a full-time in-house accountant now we have multiple accountants for the different businesses and I'm talking like a full-time person that every single day gives me cash flow reports and stuff like that you know I'm now getting to a stage where I actually need that things are getting very very hectic so you might be wondering Eman okay well then in that case why don't you scale your business back especially because you know a lot of you guys know that I've got over an eight-figure Investment Portfolio so I could just

scale my businesses back to let's say two million dollars a year have my Investment Portfolio and I'm basically good to go for the rest of my life here is why the only way that you feel fulfilled in life is by doing difficult things and I get a lot of Moment by building so right now the current stage of my life I am optimizing for fulfillment so what is very important is you understand what are you optimizing for in your life because I can tell you right now by the way in six years I do not

intend on working as hard as I do now if that sounds crazy to you I mean sure so be it for me up until the age of 25 if you have an opportunity and by the way I'm not talking about the opportunity that I have with my businesses you know if you're even making eight to ten thousand dollars a month with your agency and you're below the age of 25. for me the way that I view it and the way that I'm wired it's just I go all out you know I'm going all out until

the age of 25 26 and then between sort of 26 and let's say 36 those are my years to kind of enjoy a little bit more travel you know scale down the businesses slightly or at least my involvement in the businesses slightly still have them running still have my key leadership etc etc but I understand that for most people if they had 10 20 million dollars liquid or semi-liquid between their cash and their Investment Portfolio and they were making extra 10 million a year from their businesses they would probably just be like all right cool

you know Deuces I'm done but for me just the way that I'm wired business and continuing in business is not actually about the extra money for me it's just I like the sports of Entrepreneurship I like to wake up I like to compete and I like to quite frankly go to war but you need to understand the way that I work which is wake up go to war fight in the sports of Entrepreneurship that directly conflicts with what most people want in their life which is presence being able to enjoy all of the experiences that

they have in their life and as I said you can make as much money as you want but at the end of the day you will never be able to fully fully truly enjoy the moment if you are still pushing so hard with your business so I think really the main key message of this video is find out what sort of person you are if you're wired like me well then follow my path which is basically just understand that you care more about playing in the sports of Entrepreneurship than you do about presence or peace

so I guess really all of this to say be careful what you wish for hopefully this video has opened up your eyes to the path that lays ahead for all of you I know that you will Achieve Financial Freedom for some of you I know you'll become Millionaires and go on to Live Your Dream Life and then for those who seek discomfort and Chaos like I do and reach multi multi-millionaire status just understand that it is not all roses and fairy tales now this video laid out the path of riches but if you want to
