Loved the part where they highlight that the family’s immigration paperwork costs put them into debt. I don’t think enough Americans realize how expensive it is to immigrate and why not everyone can afford to immigrate. Would love a longer video on her story because it’s not just hard work. She displays business acumen, she knows what it takes to motivate a team, be a good boss. She understands she needs to expand her business beyond just providing a service by starting her product line. She probably had to take a lot of rejections before she got any photographers to allow her to practice her craft on their photo shoots. It takes gumption on her part. She’s a go getter. Being a hard worker won’t get you far if you aren’t making the rights moves for yourself. Also, never underestimate the determination of an immigrant who has to make it work because there are no backup plans. This is what drives her forward.

It's only expensive because the US charges 1k+ per application. We're talking about 1k USD, which is a big sum in their local currency. It's simple power economics really. For an American to emigrate? So much "cheaper" and easier. Passport privilege, nationality privilege, earned currency privilege, literally all in your favor. The average vietnamese makes the equivalent of less than 300 USD a month. Think about that. Even with the higher cost of living, when your wage is also much higher, you still end up with much more global purchasing power than people in third world & developing countries, as a national of a Western country.

@@ArianaBerkeley I personally know friends whose parents came to this country with only a one-way plane ticket, a few hundreds bucks in their pockets, and all of their possessions in a suitcase. After many years of hard work, they built a successful fashion clothing business and bought a million dollar home in Encino about 25 years ago. You can imagine how much that house is worth today. I have a relative who came to America and started out as a dishwasher in a restaurant. He didn't know English, so he studied and memorized the dictionary in his spare time. He eventually saved enough money to invest. Many years later, he bought several apartments and houses. When my family came to his country, we rented one of his homes in L.A.. How is it possible to move to the U.S. with little or no money? People borrowed money from friends and relatives. They spent the next 20 to 25 years paying off the debt a little at a time. Since they typically work 7 days/week with no vacation, they hardly went out or spent money buying useless things. They toil all day so their children can go to top universities and have better opportunities in life. I can go on and on with similar stories. You just need to open your eyes and mind and not assume Asians people are born rich or smart. Their success has more to do with their attitude about the value of education, work ethics, and the willingness to sacrifice and forgo instant gratification for a better future.

Am I the only one wondering about all the missing pieces? She was young, in debt, and dropped out of college, probably owing student loans, and starts painting nails. Doesn't mention that you have to take 400-600 hours of beauty school to get licensed, and that costs several thousand dollars. Where did she get the money? And then she gets a 5-year lease on a huge 1700 sf retail space in downtown LA, an area that was DEAD during the pandemic because offices were closed and ... salons were in lockdown! Landlords do not just sign leases with anyone and trust that they can afford it. She would not only have to shell out the rent but security, tenant improvements (remodeling, plumbing, painting, flooring, ADA requirements, etc., not to mention construction, health, and fire inspections and permits, to name a few, which can take months), business license, insurance, incorporating, etc. But she somehow still had many tens of thousands of dollars to set up that salon, maybe even a hundred grand. Those are not some secondhand bare-bones type of furnishings. Those are high end. Not sure why they left out so much of the obvious issues, but I know it doesn't add up. But everybody just accepts the "La-la-la, my advice is just start your business!" baloney.

A very similar listing for a nail shop asked $200,000 for the business. In fact the listing claims it makes $50K/mo which is exactly the same. I doubt any bank would finance a $200K purchase from a 20-something with no prior business experience. Who lent her the money, or did she somehow have that much cash? Seems really suspect.

Does anyone else feel like there's a ton of information missing? How did someone without a college degree teach? How did she manage to pay the immigration debt, pay for three years of her schooling, pay for her siblings' schooling, and afford $10,000 rent on a studio working as a substitute teacher? Like obviously she worked hard, but a lot of immigrants work hard, and 99.999% of them don't end up making 600K.

There is an article attached to this video which explains all the details. She got her license for $9k online and it took a few weeks to complete. She started out on social media such as tik tok and instagram doing some free nails which got her tracking then was able to make a bit of money which started getting her jobs. Using this as a springboard I imagine she put together a business and received a business loan to start up her shop.

These nail women are the hardest working people in the world. I have a Vietnamese friend that owns her own salon. She puts in 10 hrs a day at work and then goes home and cooks for recreation and to relax. Not an ounce of fat on her. The work ethic is amazing ...

@amanifields464 remember she did social media. She does work for celebrities so I am sure that helped. She probably went viral. They get paid after awhile depending on how much viral videos you do. Even though it may not make you rich it may be enough for whatever she needs.

600k Revenue isn't the same as 600K salary. You don't "bring in" revenue. You bring in a salary or the net profit. For all we know, the fixed costs itself are 200k which leaves 400K to pay 4 people and the operating costs and expenses including interest. Maybe I should make more finance videos because this is ridiculous.
@missn20214 ай бұрын
True but look at what she has accomplished for herself, the way she treats her staff and what she has done for her family. If you change her perspective it says the business is bring that in. Not that it is her salary. She is however on her way to making that 600 000 in nett income.
