00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			Praising Allah and thanking Allah, and I
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			have again with me,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			my guest, Sadiq Ali, and his millionaire manners.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			And, you know, I wanted to to get
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			in a little deeper with you on
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			how do you disseminate? What's your your program
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			for disseminating
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			this message?
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			Is it just a book?
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			You guys at home and read it?
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Because I think it you actually have something
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			else,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			in mind,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			in writing this. It's not just not just
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			something to put on your coffee table or,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			you know, you you read it and you
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			say, why this is really this really benefits
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			me as an individual.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			Can you tell us more about,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			about
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			what your vision is
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			for this platform? Alhamdulillah.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			You you you're absolutely you're absolutely correct.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			Earlier, you know, earlier you said, you paid
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			a compliment to to the book and I
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			know that that means a lot coming from
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			from this brother who's read almost as many
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			books, probably more books than what you see
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			in the background here. So I really, really
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			appreciate those words. But, Alhamdulillah, when I wrote
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			the book and it's funny you mentioned that
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			as well because
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			at the end of the chapter,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			I'm sorry, at the end of the book,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			the final chapter in the book talks about
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			the fact that I don't want this book
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			to just sit on a bookshelf and collect
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:48
			dust.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			It is really meant to be a practical
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			guide for you to go out and implement
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			many of the things that, that you read
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			about in the book. Again, much like our
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			Quran.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Not that I'm comparing millionaire manners to our
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			Quran by any stretch, but,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			the same sort of application that we are,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			implored to take. You know, I'm reminded,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			since you since you opened it up. Right?
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			That the way the companions of the prophet
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			Muhammad alayhis salam
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			approached the Quran
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			wasn't just to, like,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			read through it and then say, oh, great.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			I read the whole book.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			Said never did they acquire more than a
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			few ayats. Some say
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			3 verses, some say 10,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			except at first,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			they contemplated
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			on its meaning until they understood.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			2nd,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			they memorized it.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			And 3rd, they didn't move on to additional
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:45
			verses
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			until they applied it to their daily
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			lives.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			So it's a the the methodology
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			of how one learns.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			Right? You memorize the manners first,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			then you try to understand
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			the depth of the manners.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			And then now that you understand
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			them and you have and it's a part
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			of your being,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			then you go out and exemplify
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			it in your daily life. Absolutely.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			How does this book work like that? The
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			book is actually broken down, and I'm not
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			I'm not sure if we mentioned it already,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			but of course the book can be purchased.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			That's the first method of getting the information.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			You have to purchase the book. That's right.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			I see. You can purchase the book on
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			our website, which is millionaire
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			dash manners.com.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			I see that. Right? Of course, on Amazon
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			it's also available. Yeah. I don't know. But
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			you prefer to go to the website. That's
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			that's the first method. That's the first method.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			But the second method,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			is is as you're reading a book, the
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			book is broken down into 3 different parts.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			The book is broken into attitude,
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			image, and manners. We call that our aim
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			philosophy. You know, aim for success, aim
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			for something higher.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			The attitude represents our internal feelings, our thoughts,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			our beliefs, etcetera.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			If your internal is not correct, if it's
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			not right, then everything else is is is
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			not gonna be correct. You know, I'm I'm
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			again, you
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			the influence of Islam,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			we have over and over in the Quran,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			at least 2 dozen times. Mhmm.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			The first part is having
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			a connection
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			Mhmm. With with the supreme, with with the
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			creator, with Allah.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			And if that connection internally
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			is right,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:35
			then
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			naturally flows out of
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			it. Righteous deeds, good deeds.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			So you're right,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			you're you're in prophetic order.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			So the first part is an internal piece.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			What's the second? The second part is the
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			image, which is how we manifest,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			or how we present ourselves
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			to the outside world which has,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			definitely
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			the piece of the internal included in that
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			because
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			there's self image but then there's also your
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			outward image. But
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			again the attitude deals with the internal, the
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			image deals with the external, how I present
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			myself,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			and then the last part is the manners.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			So you should be clean, the promises of
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			the church. That when you come to the
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			prayer, you should scent yourself so that
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			I think what's that? You got 12
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			12 by 12? And and and in the
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			book, this is what Iman Jaharie's favorite pieces
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			in the book, favorite points.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			So in the book, I talk about first
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			impressions, how just
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			critical those are in every aspect of our
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			lives. Brothers, if you're single and you're looking
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:37
			to,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			you're looking to get married, your first impressions
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			need to be very, very good. You have
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			to impress upon that sister's father,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			her walee, if she has brothers,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			all those opinions matter. So her friends So
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			their social network. And most importantly her.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			So the first impression is is critical. So,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			you know, I have a, a system in
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			the book. It's called the 12,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			the 12 by 12 by 12, which represents
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			how you look, right, how your appearance, you
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			know, we call it swagger. What's that like
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			from 12 feet away?
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			The next 12 is how do you look
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			from 12 inches away? Now you're talking about
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			how do you smell? What's your grooming like?
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			Is that brother's mustache trim? Is his beard
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:18
			shapely?
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			And then the last 12 are the first
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			twelve words that come
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:25
			out of your mouth. Is it with a
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			smile? Are you leading with a warm smile?
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			Mhmm. And words of kindness, which again Rassoulullah
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			told us that if you don't have anything
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			else to offer
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			for charity, of course Even a smile of
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			tzedakah. Even a smile of tzedakah.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			And the freshness of the breath. At 12
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:40
			and at 12.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			All that goes in there,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			which leads into that last part, which is
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			the manners, which is the manifestation
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			of
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			those other 2. So that's 3. So what's
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			3? So the 3rd is the manners. So
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:52
			attitude,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			image, and then manners. It's how we manifest
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			those other 2. What are the actions?
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			How do you implement? How do you apply
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			what you got out of improving your attitude,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			improving your self image,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			how you project your image on onto others,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			etcetera. And then it you become a full
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			package. Alright. So because, you know, when when
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			you first start,
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			I mean, you mentioned Dale Carnegie and some
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			other people in this book.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			This sounds like it's deeper than just sort
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			of a makeover.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			I can go into the tailor,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			have them cut me a nice suit, go
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			to the barbershop,
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			whatever whatever, get my teeth whitened and and
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			go out and shake somebody's hand. Mhmm.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			But you're talking about something
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			in this AIM strategy,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			that's deeper than that. Yeah. I'm I'm glad
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			you brought that up.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			I've had a couple of folks actually thank
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			me for including what I'm getting ready to
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			share with you right now. Mhmm. And that
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			is a disclaimer of sorts that I put
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			into the book on purpose,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			which is the fact that,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			right? Yes. If you attempt to use
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			what is in this book
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			for, to make ill gotten gains or to,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			to con on folks Con on the or
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			to become some sort of charlatan or put
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			on an act that is not really you,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			folks will see through it eventually.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			And everything that you work for,
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			this particular manner, and it's a deceitful manner,
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:16
			will backfire.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			So But I but I but there's also
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			something else, and I think and I think
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			we should close with this. Mhmm.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			Which is,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			in behavioral psychology,
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			some
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			psychotherapists like to change you from the inside
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:33
			out.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			Behavioral scientists
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			like to change you in part from the
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			outside. So you pick up new habits. Mhmm.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			Right? You start picking up,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			you present yourself in a different way.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			And what happens is and you mentioned it
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			here. Mhmm.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			Even if you didn't start out
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			being sincere,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			it starts working its way from outside back
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			in. Absolutely. People say, man, you're such a
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:04
			polite person. You're so honest and outstanding, and
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:04
			you're like,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			oh, yeah. I guess so. You know?
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			And and and I'm sure you're gonna help
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			us. And you're like,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			yeah. I guess I I am. That maybe
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			those deficiencies,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			if I continue applying
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			this method,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			eventually,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			it winds up taking me to higher and
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:27
			higher levels of internal self improvement. Absolutely. It's
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			inevitable. My guest today, Sadiq Ali,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			Millionaire Manners.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			How can people get in touch to get
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			involved with the programming?
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			The programming. So,
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			the Millionaire Manners Academy is actually a full
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			service training and educational consultancy.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			And we target 3 different types of organizations.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			How good if I had a school group
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			Oh, absolutely. I could call you Yes. Yes.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			I'm sorry. On on our website at, www.millionairedashmanners.com,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			there's a contact us form Mhmm. Or you
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			can just shoot an email directly to us
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:04
			at info
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			and we'll get right back with
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			you. I hope it's affordable because I hope
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			it's not a $1,000,000.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			No. No. I said it's not.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			So I'll make it successful,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			and I encourage everyone,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			go to go to the website and buy
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			the book.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			Read the book.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			Contemplate on the book until you understand its
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			meaning,
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			and don't put it down until you apply
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			it to your daily life.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			Thank you.
