00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: the Lauren Hill, so I met to shout out this

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: young woman named Keimani so one I went. So many

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: of y'all stopped me. Who listened to the show or

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: love the Budgeonista. That's so many, at least ten different people.

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: I took pictures. But there's one young woman in particular, Keimani,

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: who she saw me, she stopped and she's like, oh

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, and then she proceeded to pour so much

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: love into me. She spoke life into me. She just

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was the most beautiful interaction that I've had.

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: I literally started to cry. You know, she was just like, tiffing,

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: I can't possibly know all that you've been through except

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: for what you shared. And this is just like a

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: snippet of what she said. But I want you to

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: know how many people that you've helped. My life is

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: different because of you. I talk about you all the time.

21
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: I share your book with everyone, you know, Like she's like,

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: I hear how you uplift Mandy on the podcast how

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: you up with your Unicorn squad? How you uplift your mentor?

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: And she was like, despite all that's happening, you choose

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: joy over and over and over again, and I hope

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: you know how much that means to us. It was

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: like I tried to hold together and then I just

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: started crying. It was the most beautiful interaction I've had

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: in so long. She was like, she's a real listener.

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: She said, I know you don't like hugs, but can

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: I hug you? It was just a beautiful interaction in Keymannie.

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you so much. And

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: she said something so powerful. She's like, when things get

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: really rough, I hope you remember this conversation and let

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: it fill you with the light that you put into

36
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: other people. And it was just amazing. So I just

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: forgot to shout her out in the last episode, and

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I just wanted to do that. So I'm gonna take

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: a question that has come up. Actually was talking to

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: one of my mentees earlier. You know, we'd be a

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: Q where we answer business questions, finance questions, career questions,

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: and so y'all know I be mentoring, right, I have

43
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: a mentorship program. It's twenty bucks a month. Well, it

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: depends if you listen to this five years from now,

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: it's probably more. But it's my mentor at Tiffany dot

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: com and have a ton of mentees in there. And

47
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: a question came up and I was kind of like coaching,

48
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: and here is the here. I wouldn't say this is

49
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: the question, but here is the response that I have

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: that I want you to think about this, not just

51
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: if you have a business, in general in life. And

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: here's the question I have for you. Are you coachable?

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Are you coachable? No? For un gather around leaning because

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: the vast majority of people I find are not coachable.

55
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: Some of you want to know what is the secret

56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: to success if you're talking about external success, not even

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: just external success, but just success across the board. But

58
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: for ease of conversation, let's talk external success. Right, here's

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: the problem. People will reach out to me all the time, timpany, Timothy,

60
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: can you mentor me? And I don't take on too

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: many one on one mentors. I started the mentorship program

62
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: at my mentor Tiffany dot com because I can't possibly

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: talk to every single person on the phone. But every

64
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: once in a while, somebody will stand out to me

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: and then I'll just say, oh, you know, like mentors

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: usually choose you, I mean, and you choose them too,

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: But there's usually like you know, asking a random person

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: you don't know to mentor you. It's likely not going

69
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: to happen, but you know, you build a relationship. They

70
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: like you, you like them. And what I'm looking for

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: when I do take on a like a mentor a mentee,

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: is are they coachable. There's this great I'm not a

73
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: football stand but there's this this video of this young

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: black football player who is like being interviewed after like

75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: I guess the game or whatever, and they as they're

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: asking him, we saw the coach was pretty angry with

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: you when when you were on the field. And they

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: show a clip like beside him, and it's like you

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: could see the coach like red face walking on and

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: saying ah, and he was like, they were like, what

81
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: were you thinking of that time as he was kind

82
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: of chewing you out? You know, football coaches be all

83
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: wild and crazy, and he said, I mean, this dude

84
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: had smile on his face. He said, here's the thing.

85
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: When the coach walked on the field, mad I said,

86
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: oh sha, the coach is mad. I wonder who he's

87
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: mad at. And then he was like, oh wait, it's me.

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: And he was like. The coach basically was like, there

89
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: was a play I guess that he had told this

90
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: player to do in a specific way and the player forgot,

91
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, and the heat of the moment and didn't

92
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: do it, and whatever bad thing happened at the result

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: as a result turned over whatever happened, and so the

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: coach came on the field to be like, I told

95
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: you to do blah blah blah nah again. And so

96
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: he said, how did that make you feel? This is

97
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: a reporter asking the player. And he said, here's the thing.

98
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: I have learned to not listen to how coach says it,

99
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 1: but what he's saying, because he was right. He told

100
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: me this is the play because this team reacts this way,

101
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: and I didn't do it and as a result, we

102
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: got what we got. And he was like, I don't

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: react negatively when the coach. Now, I'm not saying you

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: should you should tolerate abuse. I'm just this is a

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: bigger lesson. I don't react when the coach, you know,

106
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: is angry on the field with me. I don't give

107
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: that energy back because I want to remain coachable. I

108
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: want to be able to hear what he's saying and adjust.

109
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: And I don't want him to not coach me, because

110
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: that's why I came to this team. I knew the

111
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: coach was really tough on this team, but I also

112
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: knew that he coaches you to be a better player.

113
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Now let's take it on back to what that looks

114
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: like in your life. Like I said, I don't believe

115
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: in abuse, but oftentimes people will ask me for I

116
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: remember a friend of mine asked me to help his

117
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: girlfriend with like credit advice, and so we got on

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: the phone and I was like, you know, I was

119
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: talking to her and I was like, let's say her

120
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: name is Eve, Hey, Eve, you know, like you know,

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Steve said you need credited by She said yes, and

122
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: I said, well, tell me what's going on. So she

123
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: shared and I said, oh, well, are you you know

124
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: paying off your debt and full Well, I heard that

125
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: you should leave a little bit on your card. I said, well, honestly,

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: that's a myth that's been debunked no, because such as

127
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: I said, So that was for me. It was kind

128
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: of like strike number one, Okay, I said. All I

129
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: said was okay. And then I was like, well, you know,

130
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: you want to pay it off in full by the

131
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: statement they No, I heard that you should pay it

132
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: twice a month. Well, actually that's not true. One of

133
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: my friends is like this like really highlight. I mean,

134
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: I know credit, but my friend Nativa is like super

135
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: high level credit experts. She was like, actually I told her.

136
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: I was like, Na, Tiva's actually sat down with like

137
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: they have, like the federal government has like not courses,

138
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: but kind of like open conversations with like credit experts

139
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: to kind of express these are the new rules or whatever.

140
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, one of the things

141
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: she learned at that time was that's not true. No,

142
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: that is true, because so this is Eve telling me

143
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: that Eve with the four hundred credit score telling me

144
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: with the eight h two credit score that's what it is.

145
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: And I just said okay. And then the third thing

146
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: I can't remember what it was, you know, but I

147
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: think I was telling her like, oh, her utilization or whatever. No,

148
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,559
Speaker 1: I heard that you shouldn't even and I just said okay,

149
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: and then we were just both quiet since she knew everything,

150
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: and she was like, well, you know, I guess my score.

151
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how I'm going to get

152
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: it to go up. And I said, well, I'm sorry.

153
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more helpful. I had a lot more,

154
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: because there are basic credit things, you know, basic things

155
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: like paying off your debt in full, you know, making

156
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: small paints like they're basic things. She was not able

157
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: to receive the basic because she had decided she knew everything,

158
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: and so I kept the next level stuff that was

159
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: really going to change, just sore. I kept it to

160
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: the sound girl, I'm not going to battle you to

161
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: improve you. You ain't coachable, and some of you are like, ooh, Eve,

162
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: it's crazy you Eve. Go look at that mirror. Go

163
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: look at that mirror, you Eve. So many of y'all

164
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: are not coachable. You go to who knows more than you, admittedly,

165
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: because that's why you sought them out. And then when

166
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: they give you advice that's contrary to the thing that

167
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: you're doing that's not working. That's the part of child.

168
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't let me get hopped. Literally, you go to

169
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: someone because what you're doing is not working, because if

170
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: it was working in the way that you wanted, you

171
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't be seeking advice. You just be living your life.

172
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: But what you're doing currently is not working. You go

173
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: to someone. I know, I'm reading somebody for filth right now.

174
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: You go to someone because they have the expertise, and

175
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: when they give it to you, because it don't fit

176
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: the thing that's not working for you, you like, nah, girl,

177
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: they can make sense, make it make sense, you know.

178
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: And so you know what happens when you find that

179
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: mentor that coach. They check out because guess what, they're

180
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: busy experiencing the success that you say you want. I

181
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: can't tell you how many people come me. I have

182
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: mentees who are literally like you know, they're just starting

183
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: out in business, and I'm just like, oh, girl, you know,

184
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: try this thing. Yeah, but or it's not big enough

185
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, but will that make me a million dollars?

186
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: Says you have no money. We're just starting out. Sis,

187
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get you a hundred, one hundred dollars,

188
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: then five then you want me to give you million

189
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: dollar game? You don't have the skill set to manage

190
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: that yet, you know, And so what I see is

191
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: when I see that people won't do the thing for

192
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: the hundred or the five hundred, one thousand. I stopped

193
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: mentoring cause I'm God, waits my time. You ain't gonna

194
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: do it anyway. I have one friend who is She

195
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite people to mentor. When I

196
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: met her, she was negative six figures in business, and

197
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: now she's positive. I think the last time I took

198
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: it was like a year's ago. She said that year

199
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: she had made two million dollars. I said, damn, what

200
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: did I say? It's not just what I said. She

201
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: took what I said and put I just booked her

202
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: yesterday and put into action when I call b right.

203
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: She called me, she said, hey, girl, what do you know?

204
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, I just woke up from a nap.

205
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: I'm about to be with my financial advisor. And in

206
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes she said, that's all I need. Can I

207
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: ask you a question? Sure? Now me and be at

208
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: the same age, and she was like, I'm about to

209
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: do da, da da, I'm not really sure about this.

210
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: I listened for two minutes and then she was quiet,

211
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: and I was like, honestly, I've been in this situation before.

212
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: The best way to approach it is one, two, three, four, five, six,

213
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: seven eight. And then she asked some questions and I

214
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: said yeah, no, yeah, because there's a difference between pushing

215
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: back and asking clarifying questions. She asked clarifying questions, not

216
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: contradictory questions, like now I have heard that online that

217
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: if you do that with your credit. That's not a

218
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: clarifying question. That's like we're rid of the battle. Question.

219
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: She has clarifying questions. I answered them, and then I restated,

220
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: so here's the plan you're going to do one, two, three, four,

221
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: five six. She was like, got it, Thank you so much.

222
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Two minutes to spare. And that's why whenever I get

223
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: tools and resources and access, I hit be up and

224
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, girl, like I just you know, I learned

225
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: a new thing, my big homiecause I got big mentors.

226
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: Have mentors, like I've got a lot of peers, people

227
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: who are in the same position as me, give or take.

228
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: I have a lot of mentees, and then I have

229
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: some mentors who who like mentor me, and then I

230
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: have big homy mentors who are like, you know, like

231
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: if I said their names, you'd be like, wait, you

232
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: know that me. Yes, So I don't tap into them

233
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: too often because I respect their time and not that

234
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: I don't respect my peers time. It's just that with

235
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: peers you can go back and forth regularly. You know,

236
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: it's different. And so anyway, so sometimes a big homi

237
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: mentor will drop a huge gem on me, and she

238
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: be is one of the first people that I then

239
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: passed that gem onto because she's going to plant the

240
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: seed that I have given her. You know what, you

241
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: need a menum to marinate. Let's take a quick commercial break,

242
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: a quick break, murderate all that for a little, but

243
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Okay, I'm back, all right, And

244
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: so like are you coachable? And so it's so important

245
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: to in the mirror and say currently, I'm not. I'm

246
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: always pushing back. I'm not really listening. I'm not doing

247
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: the small things. Because most people, so I met with them,

248
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: I won't say his name because I don't know if

249
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: he wants me to tell the story. So I met,

250
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm really cool with He's this Grammy Award winning, very

251
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: well known black man who is now the huge investor

252
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: in business owner. Right, So he he and I we

253
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: did like a project together and afterwards we just had

254
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: some chatbout afterwards and I said, okay, And during that

255
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: chat bout, he asked me, you know, what is it?

256
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: You know? Is there anything I could do for you

257
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: to if you know? Everybody was asset, and I said,

258
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: actually I had a very specific clear asset. I say, actually,

259
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm making the transition in the budgetista. Here's a specific

260
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: way I'm making a transition. Here's what I've done and

261
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: what I'm really good at. Here's a small piece that

262
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't really get. I would love if you had

263
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: some feedback or whatever, like if you know anything or

264
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: anybody that can help me with this piece of this?

265
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: He said. First of all, can I commend you? He said,

266
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: Most times I ask people that they either say nothing

267
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: or they basically want you to put them on. There

268
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: is nothing more telling about your lack of desire to

269
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: do the work when you give somebody a big help

270
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: me out, put me on to what I don't know,

271
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: help me out. Oh, you ain't willing to do no work.

272
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: You want me to do the work for you, because

273
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: what does that even mean? Help you out? How that

274
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: means you have not done any of the prior work?

275
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: Necessary to get you ready to actually receive any specific help.

276
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: You know, you have to have done some pre work

277
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: so you can be ready for whatever someone's going to

278
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: plan into You never waste to ask. I never waste

279
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: and ask if I don't if I'm not clear on

280
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: my ass, I'm not. I'm gonna be quiet, you know,

281
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: not from my big homemie, not for my big mentor.

282
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: With peers, you can go back and forth, but not

283
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: from the big mentor, you know. And so I had

284
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: the specific ass He said, you know what, I have

285
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: a friend really cool with that just sold their business

286
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: to huge hu qu qu, huge conglomerate, and I think

287
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: this actually be a great match for you. I'm gonna

288
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: introduce you to him. And I was like, you see,

289
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: I have done the prior work I have, you know,

290
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: got really clear on the ask. I asked it to

291
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: the right person who I thought might be aligned with

292
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: the solution, and then remain open to be coachable, like

293
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: and I'm certainly not perfectcause Lord, I'm only being I'm

294
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: only able to say this to you because they're so often,

295
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: especially in the beginning, I was not coachable. Oh but

296
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work. That's not go. I was not coachable,

297
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: and I realized that I am stating. I think one

298
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: of my mentors got frustrated with me. It was like, well, girl,

299
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: if you know everything, then just do it your way,

300
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: and it like it hit me, like, girl, why are

301
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: you asking this person questions if you're not willing to

302
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: make any shift? You know, I can't tell you, like

303
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: some of the people who are mentoring you, if you

304
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: don't remain open, they're not going to take you into

305
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: the next room. They're gonna give you a little light dusting.

306
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: They're like, she ain't ready because you want me to

307
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: introduce you, like I know, Oprah. I'm not me. I'm

308
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: just saying like they like I know, Oprah, I know

309
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: Robert S. Smith, I know, Well, why should I introduce

310
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: them to you when you ain't ready? Because you couldn't

311
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: do the two things I told you to do, but

312
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: you want me to bring you to the big room. Now.

313
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: Now you have to make yourself worthy of the dream

314
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: that you seek, and you make yourself worthy through the work.

315
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, so you have to ask yourself, are you

316
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: going to be like b who, when given the tools

317
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: and the resources, put them to work. Ask clarifying questions

318
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: are not confrontational talking about it's not gonna work, or

319
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: this is my dad gone landscape and I hope y'all

320
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: can't hear that. Or are you going to be like

321
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: Eve who know every damn thing but don't have the

322
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: thing that you're wanting? You know, like, you know, like

323
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: you have to decide you're gonna be like b or

324
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like Eve, you know, like if you're

325
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: really wanting. And I'm not just talking about success in business,

326
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm also talking about success in you know, your personal life,

327
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: success in whatever it is that you're trying to accomplish.

328
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: You know, when you're reaching out and asking for help,

329
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: are you open? Are you coachable? You have a whole therapist,

330
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: but you don't listen. M oh, I got you the assist,

331
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: didn't I right? You know, you got your your bestie

332
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: been telling you about such and such is toxic and

333
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: you know they are, but you ain't listening. Okay, you know, like,

334
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: are you coachable? Okay? Well, if you do have a

335
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: business and you a sister, and I mean we have

336
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: people who are not sisters. But if you do have

337
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: a business and you want to come on over and

338
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: let me coach you, you know, going over to my

339
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: mentor tipany dot com and yeah, I coach there. It's fun.

340
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: It's fun over there. But no, for real, this is

341
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: not a judgment zone. This is just a self awareness

342
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: zone and it's nothing is more important than being self aware.

343
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: So that way you know where you are, so you

344
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: know where you want to be and then you make

345
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: that leap forward. So said that would love a little sass,

346
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: but said that would love all right, I will see

347
