Umer Qureshi

It’s uncommon to hear of a 17-year old earning 7-figures. We expect that most 17-year-olds are considering entering their college years, and are still dependent on their parents. Yet, Umer Qureshi is not your ordinary teenager. 

Umer Qureshi is a 17-year-old who attends school and is also a 7 Figure entrepreneur. He aims to help ambitious youngsters create a better future for themselves by teaching them high-income skills. So far, Umer has helped thousands of people through his online platforms, such as his YouTube channel

 

Creating multiple income streams.

Umer’s experiences with making money online started when he was 13. He initially began looking for ways to earn money online, and started off blogging. At first, blogging was a challenge as he did not know how to monetize it. Umer blogged in the gaming niche. By 2019, he had built an audience from blogging, which motivated him to engage in affiliate marketing. By 2020, Umer had already set up five income streams: blogging, a website, a YouTube channel, affiliate marketing, and gaming.

 

Too many men give up on their dreams.

When asked about the biggest challenge men face today, Umer states that the biggest challenge is that men too easily give up on their dreams. He believes that everyone has a dream, but they often give up on that dream mid-way through. 

Why is it that most people give up on their dreams? According to Umer, 50% of people give up because people tell them that they can’t do it. 40% of people give up because they wait all their lives for people to tell them that they can do it. 9% of the people give up because life throws curveballs, and they can’t find a way around it. Umer Qureshi goes on to share, “that leaves only 1% of people, and these are the people who rule the world and define real success.”

Umer Qureshi admits that pursuing a dream is never easy. Entrepreneurs face challenges, losses, and at times find themselves defeated. Also, it can be a lonely journey. However, persistence amidst these challenges defines who you are. 

 

Umer’s definition of success.

Through his entrepreneurial journey, Umer has learned to believe in himself and not let others tell him what he can or cannot do. 

Umer defines success as a destination and not a process. He states that success involves being present in the moment. When asked about his thoughts concerning success, he says, “There is no point living in the past or future. If you live in the past, you will fill yourself with regrets. If you live in the future, you will fill yourself with expectations that don’t get filled and eventually lead to more regrets. So what we can do is understand that what we have is the present moment. As such, your future is the total outcome of the choice you make right now.”

This young entrepreneur doesn’t work simply to buy a Lamborghini, or the finer things in life. Instead, Umer’s main desire is to help everyone become wealthy, no matter what their current financial situation is.
