Both in Los Angeles and on RUclips, Todd is known for his impressive car collection and luxurious lifestyle, so it may surprise people to learn he didn’t come from a wealthy background. Todd learned the value of a strong work ethic and how to hustle from an early age. He started working as a teenager, first doing yard work then taking a job in a kitchen that let him make enough to buy his first car at 14.

TJ vs JT. who will end up being richer.
FYI its TJ right now but it will be JT.
When TJ page last video says a year ago ????
I have to use a credit card?
@@JTL1776 and
I've been painting for 18 years I'm a second generation painter I'm going to business for myself this spring, what can I do to build my brand better? I know this falls on to the ethert ears, but that would be cool if I got an answer
To answer the question at 30:56 I think the skill that self made millionaires all have in common is the ability to be calm, cool, and collected during down turns. My father started his business at 26 years old and never worked for anyone his entire professional life. He made a lot of money but he also lost a lot of money. But during those times of losses I noticed he was the same guy when he lost money and the same guy when he made money. He was always cool, calm, and collected.
I also think successful people accept failure. Not to say they aren't afraid to fail, everyone is scared to fail, but they understand that thats part of business. Every time my father failed he never thought of quitting or thinking this isnt for him. He hated losing, but his desire to win and turn it around was greater than quitting. He always got up, accepted the mistake, and focused on turning it around and he ALWAYS did. Even if it took a long time.
i have recently started a business, this business is growing but at the moment it is eating up a lot of my money. my dad tells me he cannot bare the losses i am going through and asks me, how can you be so calm all the time. in reality there are times when my throat dries up instantly, my mind is stuck in one thought and I feel like i am drowning. so I spoke to a friend and mentor of mine who is also a Dr and runs a wildly successful business now. he told me hold on, this happens to all entrepreneurs. if it was easy peasy, every tom dick and harry would be doing it.
Thank you for sharing.
How about you? Usually Children do the opposite..Just asking, for educational purpose.
@@evrenkonak I learned wealth lasts 3-4 generations. The first generation was poor and started with nothing and built something. The second generation saw the sacrifice they did and built on top of that. The third generation more or less has been born into money. The 4th will blow it away since they didnt know the hardship it took to get them where they're at.
I am the second generation. The reason I said my comment is because I saw what my dad did and I am so grateful for him and I am taking over the business myself.
Look at the Hilton family. They have generational wealth but the actual family working in the business ends with Paris Hilton. Shes like 3rd or 4th generation and doesnt give af about the family business.
Love the video wish tj would blog more 👍🏾👍🏾
To become a millionaire you need a plan a vision and an end goal. Look for tools to get you there. Don't be scared to take risks and block out the negative noise.
I don't want to be millionaire to have luxury cars or houses... I want to help my family and everybody around me . This is my dream.
You can do and have both.
That's Beautiful, don't chase the love of money that's a trap of the Deciever👹💰🎪🔍🤔🤨 Focus on the types of idea's and strategies that you have strength in the use those for success while expanding out of your comfort zone.. This will give you the ways to not only help but build your Family Success based on your focus towards the goals. Build with your Foundation upon The Rock of your Creator, The Holy One Yeshua, Emmanuel ( Means God is with Us) * Not Man-Made Religion, that's a check in the box system created by man.. I mean The Lord Jesus Christ..Alone!!! He is The Living God and you as His Creation is all about a personal relationship, not another human or dumb statues.. Your Creator📕🔍🧐👋🙏💪☝️👍 Talk with Him, In Obedience and Faith He listens to His Children🕊️ There are people with money, yet they are empty, some lonely and trying to fill that void with Temporary Materialistic Garbage.. Because they didn't know of or have the Foundation of The Lord.. When we talk it's hard for many because they never were told, have a difficult time finding Faith or Confuse Religion with The Truth of their Creator.. Even Jesus when here in the flesh tried to tell politicians and the wealthy how much the Riches in Eternal Life with The Father was more valuable.. Love The Father and Love.. Treat other's how you want to be treated🤷♂️ I know friends and family with Degrees from College that are clueless and some that are successful, Some that just took certification courses that to put tool's in their tool box and are very successful, worked invested and are doing great. * Hope this helps vice having to spend money on books.. Take care Remain Mentally, Physically and most of all Spiritually Strong on The Rock, your Foundation.. He knew you before you were formed in the womb😎✊
Do not limit yourself. God made you limitless. You can help others as you are living in a nice mansion filled with God’s grace, love, and blessings on your life. It’s called Blessed to be a Blessing (but don’t forget to Bless yourself).
Living in the abundance is a lifestyle. It’s a mindset that makes you feel fulfilled in life. Try it (Only Believe God Can Do It for You).
Blessings (Showers of Blessings from God) 🎉🎉🎉
@@maryclay2882 Nah, i rather blend in like i'm doing now. I want other people to live better than me. It's already a blessing to personally know what I already have, and if i become EXTREMELY rich i'll just travel, but live a normal life like everyone else. I would love to have an underground shelter for if WAR every breaks out. This is the type of individual I am.
I want both
I avoided this video like the plague because I hate motivational, business-related videos with big flashy cars talking about get rich quick schemes. But I LOVE Upflip.
I, finally, broke down & watched it... I could not have been more wrong about this video!
Talk about informational & inspiring!!! Real talk. No gimmicks!
I needed this video! Thank you! Upflip, I will never doubt you again! Lol!
He aint a millionaire or?
TJ was probably the coolest millionaire I've ever seen. Plenty of golden nuggets given.
I normally don't watch an entire video, but TJ's vibe/energy and sincere message really showed. Thank you, learned so much.
Absolutely
Ideas + Tools + Actions = Wealth creation
X not giving up
Easy to say
action is most important. ideas and tools are a no brainer but many struggle with action. i do....or i should say DID.
let's gooooooo!!!!
@@infowazz Let's goooo!
@@gogurletc8170 wazzzzzzupppp!
The fact that there are so many millionaires out there truly shows that we live in an abundant universe. There is room for everyone. This was truly amazing, thank you❤️
There's always more for everybody! 🙌
I’ve watched many of the Upflip videos, because it’s great content and I love it. This interview, however, is on a whole other level. Excellent content, brilliant mind. I found myself rewinding and taking notes.
Thanks for your kind words, Aarin! We're glad you enjoyed this interview. We loved interviewing TJ. He is a wealth of knowledge. 📚
I’m working on becoming a millionaire right now! Anyone else who’s working on that see you at the top!!! ❤
Where are you now Jean? How’s your journey been
Let’s go!
see you there
See you soon
See you sooner than I can ever imagine 🙏🏾
He’s so relatable and humble. I love his message and story! Very inspiring
I followed this guy for a minute now. He’s the real deal.
He is! Thanks for supporting, Tony! How long have you followed TJ for?
@@UpFlip I've been following TJ for 3 years before he had RUclips and he use to hang with Slim. Slim told Tj to start RUclips

Wow I really needed to hear all this solid pieces of advice. This guy is definitely dropping gems. Love it. I was looking for some inspiration, and now that I'm inspired, I know for a fact that I can keep at it. The key to success is building an automated system that can make you successful even when youre not running your business. He also said you should be passionate about why you're doing something, not about whatever it is your doing. You'll eventually get inspired to do more once people tell you "man you're doing an amazing job, keep it up". Even if it might seem a bit of a let down at first, just keep at it. The moment you start making progress is when you're gonna get passionate about your stuff. Super nice video as always. Lots of quotes I loved from this guy that I'm gonna write down on my diary. Thank you guys, this one was bomb. Keep up the grind
He has a RUclips channel too. Good information over there tjmillionairementor
Thanks, Dario! Definitely keep at it. We're rooting for your success!
This guy is just built differently than 90% of us .
Stay focused and be consistent. That's the way to do it.
This is the second video I've watched on this channel today. To say that your channel is bringing much needed value to these You Tube streets is an understatement. Your content is excellent! And you've gained a new subscriber😊.
My talent/gift is communication and a love of people. I literally talk to any and everybody and they talk back 99.9% of the time too.
What a great guy, easy to interview, informative, kind and just a great personality. Great interview
We can't agree enough, dmaster! If you want more content like this, please visit our channel! :)
Lies again? White Houses Beggar Money
I love him fr
Todd shared a ton of solid advice. 👍🏼 Thank you
This was the one! I literally had to run this back twice it was so good. So many jewels were dropped throughout this video, good job with this one for sure.
The confidence you take in your work is really inspiring and amazing, special thanks The time and efforts you had put into recovery of lost social media account is beyond excellence. Take my cordial thanks! You are really an efficient, organized and result-oriented man Thank you for all the extra hours and extra effort you had to put on for getting this job done. I appreciate every bit of your effort. Thank you for pulling this off so smoothly...
A successful entrepreneur, a great father who doesn't just hand out 💵💰 to his kids, but sits down with them draw a plan and implement, humble and just down to earth, i love that🙏🏻
This interview is so underrated, so much knowledge 🙏❤️
Agree, so much value in the video! Glad you see it. Who would you like to see next?
Enterprise innovation Rwanda this is supper cool interview
Excellent delivery on this video.The questions that you asked,were spot on.From all T.J's videos I've seen...he's very down to earth.Keep up the good work.Thanks again,Paul👍👏
This is such a gem!. I was looking for this encouragement before the year ends. Thank you.
I don't see myself buying a bunch of cars when I reach that level. Then again, it's an an easy way to stash 💰
If I became a millionaire I would buy at least 10 cars then let people rent them just to keep consistent money coming in then buy houses and let people rent those out I would use the rent cash to poor more money into the business I already have
very humble and genuine men love it commenting first time on youtube just for this men truly inspired
He has such a great, calm energy.
He really does, hope you were inspired by this video!
100% was! Instantly followed. TYSM @@UpFlip
My dude TJ!! So grateful for this interview, quitting is not an option
So glad you enjoyed the interview, Darnell!
Amazing, very proud of you..very inspirational.. guide many people as you can.
I have followed my intuition a lot to take actions, most I got successful in making right decisions.
The edition of the takes between the random images are super nice and looks really professional content. To be very honest much better than TV😯👏👏👏
Amazing content brother, flat out beneficial knowledge and examples of how self motivation is the propelling factor towards success. “How bad do you want it”🔥
Thanks for watching! What industry would you like to see next?
@@UpFlip I'd love to see if microgreens are still a viable small business, or if they are oversaturated. The startup threshold is peanuts.

I absolutely loved this interview! A masterclass on business!
Thanks for the love! What was your most valuable tidbit that you got from the video?
@@UpFlipI have to say for me it is when you and him were talking about that entrepreneur mindset as a young child I believe I have that and want to know where to start and my biggest struggle right now is advertising do you have any advise?
@@UpFlip the fastest way to become a millionaire is to help a lot of people. And to focus on profits not just revenue.
Yeah right laugh 😃 😄 😁 🤣
AMAZING intervju
this was amazing, tj is a coder and then he became an entrepreneur, he actually told us specifics about business, not like the fake gurus that talk a lot and don't say anything substantial, I really liked him
It takes money to make money but the only thing you have to understand it's that you need to sacrifice and grind hard with no expectation in mind. Just discipline. That dude was in the army so he know that it's only daily discipline that take you to that level.
Wow, stumbled upon this and glad that I did....awesome interview and learned a few things...also left feeling inspired....I too was in IT and made a lot of money 💰 but spent it overseas on a business that I tried to build too quickly....a costly lesson learned...
Glad you left inspired! What would you have liked to ask TJ?
Excellent information. Thank you guys!
Without self discipline and confidence. We going know where. Make a plan on be consistent to follow through. Congratulations TJ. excellent job. Excellent video.
A very descent person- very respectful and has a lot of humility for rich person. I could listen to him 24/7.
This humble individual shared some golden nuggets. Hope you took away valuable insights as well! 🌟
I’ve listened to you for quite a while,and I’ve just decided to subscribe,and I will tell as many people as I can to as well. You know why? Because you make valuable,sane,rational,realistic conversations,minus all the usual B.S. and false hype I see a lot of jokers doing..
Keep up the great work.😎👍
Thanks for your support an subscribing, Lester! What would you like us to cover in the coming year?
Very juicy episode, valuable tips. Kudos to the production team 👏👏, editing and script just keeps getting better.
Thank you for the kind words, Bruno! What do you think we can improve on?
I dont say this much about these kinds of videos but I really like this guy. He seems very genuine and honest. Most come across like they are leaving some key info out or there is some trickery going on. This guy is dope!!!! He has me hooked. I’d sign up for one of his classes or whatever. Thanks!!!
That's awesome to hear! TJ is awesome and glad you liked this interview. Im sure you would learn so much from him. Do you currently have a coach or mentor?
Nope
Wow, it was such a nice interview. He said what we really need to start a business. Thanks bro God bless you.
Making a difference with our videos is what motivates us! We hope you learned from the lessons and apply them for success. 🔥
Awesome interview ❤thank you 🙏🏽
To answer the question at 30:56 I think the skill that self made millionaires all have in common is the ability to be calm, cool, and collected during down turns.

But during those times of losses I noticed he was the same guy when he lost money and the same guy when he made money. He was always cool, calm, and collected.
Thought this was going to be too long but there are no wasted words here. All wisdom and excellent advice.
We appreciate your thoughts! Which advice did you resonate with the most?
This millioner I've seen so humble, have a mentors heart, thank you for this chanel. Thank you for the knowledge
Your questions are super! And the answers very inspiring
Glad you like them! What would you have liked to ask TJ?
Man great video. As a entrepreneur starting my own business I tell you it’s hard, but the journey though sad at times the struggles etc. it is fun. I’m loving to see brothas that don’t play sports or are rappers doing their thing and showing brothas like me what it takes and ways you can do It. The 7a loan I’ve never heard of and buying businesses that’s dope. You never think of that people get old like he said sick, or get out of the business or start a new one I dug that. 🤙🏾🙏🏾👌🏾
Glad you learned from this video! What business are you starting?
Well contents like this helps in reminding ourselves to keep our heads up as the journey to a creating a sustainable wealth isn’t serene, So many die on the journey trying to get rich and break out of matrix, all the same technology is many life easy for the smart!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts @Faith D sonia. Technology can definitely make life easier, but it's up to us to use it wisely and strategically to achieve our goals. ❤
This is a Great, Very Inspiring Video. Subbed. Thanks!
That was really great. You got my sub! So does TJ :). Definitely took notes!
I’ll be a multimillionaire soon this just drove my desire high
What industry are you in?
Awesome interview. A lot of good advice to go try out and be better at what I do.
I love this man. Humble and living the dream. Was gonna say "my dream" but if he's living my dream then I've got to find a better dream
People can share similar dreams! 🙏
I just signed up for stash ... Thank you anday God bless you upflip!
Awesome to hear, Burton!
Great video - Mr Johnson is real - his life seemed flashy at first but to be honest just listening to him talk was motivating - you could hear in his voice that he is passionate about what he does. Thank you for this video it was truly valuable and worth watching
Well said! glad you enjoyed it. What business would you like to see next?
thank you for sharing the knowledge tj kudos to you..
This channel is what people need. Keep up the good work.
Very inspiring from a maan who came from rags to riches, a man with a clear vision.
Was there a particular part in the video that stood out to you?
Good evening. I appreciate this video tremendously. Thank you. TJ is down to earth, and he was able to speak where I can understand him. The lighting in this video was great. The host posed great questions, and the conversation had a natural flow. Thank you.
We appreciate the feedback! 🙏
GREAT interview. Excellent questions. Million dollar answers. 2 thumbs up gentlemen!
Thank you very much! We're glad you enjoyed this episode as much as we've enjoyed having him on the show! 🔥
weight loss supplements...oh lord.. You want to lose weight, eat less and hit the gym...stop thinking pills will do it for you.
check my page this guy is a scam
I said the same thing 😂😂😂😂
eh. at a certain age working out and eating less only does so much. If it works for someone it shouldn’t concern you anyways honestly
Out of all the things you could of said, You choose to overlook all of the valuable information to critique one of his companies, if you believe you have a better solution do something about it, like starting your own business 🤝all the best.
SAY IT LOUDER 🧠👈🏾
Wow..what an awesome interview! He seem so humble and has a great personality!
Glad you liked it! 🔥
What a fantasticinterview! Thanks to you both.
He’s awesome. Great interview. You really ask great questions.
Thank you, Luke! Really awesome to hear you liked the interview. Are there any questions you would have liked us to ask TJ?
With TJ being from Columbia, SC just like me is so inspiring!
Regarding saturation, you have to keep in mind that even the most saturated market still has people leaving it all the time, which leaves the gap that they left behind open for others to take.
Yes, totally agree, Sean!
Brilliant episode! Pure quality my G
Thanks for the comment! Are you new to our channel?
Wow inspiring life story. I m glad you have a photo of your child-hood, I wonder if any people who lived in my village have any photos of me. I am trying, I dont carry water from the river anymore, no candles, I have changed my mattresses in house, no plastic shoes anymore that smash the toes. I have a long way to go, but I am focussed, just got to do.
Fantastic Vid! TJ You are awesome, thank you for sharing!
Thank you TJ for sharing and remain blessed.
Thanks for watching and the support! 🙏
Im interested to know if Todd has a mentorship program. I don’t see it and have never signed on or anything towards mentorship. He’s a millionaire but not mentoring. Granted he does drop some golden nuggets.
master class interview thank you guys from congo 🇨🇬
Totally agree, so many gems in TJ's interview! Thank you for watching, Donald.
am inspired for this piece of masterclass thank you
i subscribe from Togo 🇹🇬
My boy TJ, I miss him making videos but I see why he's not, a true motivator
This video is awesome, really like what this guy said. Great advice
Les Brown, has been my mentor as a life coach for years as I listened to his cassette tapes over and over again, and I still have the peanut as a reminder!
I think…you can do all the things right, work hard, cross the T’s, dot the i’s. But it still doesn’t work out. Nice to see this guy got his dream. But don’t feel bad, if you don’t reach that goal.
Yes, I think luck does come into play as well. But the key is to keeping trying even if it doesn't work out. Wishing you success Dee8Bee!
Thank you for the information!
You're welcome, Claris! Is there anything you would have liked us to ask TJ?
Hi Upflip thanks for this amazing video and many thanks to TJ for taking his Time to explain all this information, for someone that can Analyse behind the scenes or all the unspoken things they can easily get all the answers of being a millionaire and building and running and acquiring a business. TJ I have learned a lot from you and I like the way you responded to every questions. You trigger some burning desire in me in a very positive way with the words of Ambition „can do“ “will do” “the part am on is the right part” you already get it right. But at this point I feel really connected to all that you were saying and I feel we both might have the same concept and I really appreciate all this fruitful information. I wish I could meet TJ in person men. If you guys at UPFLIP could make that possible that would be great. This channel is my one stop shop from now on.
We're happy that our video sparked your desire to be successful, Muctar Bah! We also learned a lot from TJ. Let's continue to spread his inspiring words and positivity. :)

Thanks for watching! Have you checked out of our videos?
Man, this dude is sharp. Pheww... just finished watching at 1.5x - great interview. One thing I wish, Todd didn't have Cuban "right" habit. One part of the video that stood out to me was "...just about average" snippet around 21:00 thru 32:00 … and of course 35:16 😂
Very impressive thanks for this from Ghana 🇬🇭
Fantastic show with TJ! Thanks for sharing
I m in agreement with Todd about doing things out of passion
Awesome advice! What are you passionate about?
