And uh, did you put fen coffee in 170 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: your Make sure that you also put that on the 171 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: Twitter Space so that people can have the information there 172 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: because the thing about Instagram lives. So again, these are 173 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: just marketing tips. Let me know YouTube if you can 174 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: hear I'm trying to get. Keep everything as close as possible. Uh, 175 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: just marketing tips. Once this Instagram uh, once the broadcast 176 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: is over it uh it does not save the comments. 177 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: So Twitter Space it does keep the comments. And so 178 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: make sure that if you're on both of these platforms. Ideally, 179 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: I think Twitter audio is the best place to do 180 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do, which is putting your link 181 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: in the chat so that people can find you.

You know, there's somebody 669 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: in the comment saying, oh, why why are more people 670 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 1: not in this room. Don't worry about more people in 671 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: this room. Don't worry about how many people are in 672 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,479 Speaker 1: the room. The right person can be in the room. 673 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: Entrepreneurs do not, and I mean doing, be discouraged by 674 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: how many sales you don't get after this, how many 675 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: clicks nobody clicked, nobody's interested. A lot of times people 676 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: are following you that you just have no idea, like 677 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: Nikki just showed you said, oh, I follow her. I 678 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: went um this weekend and saw a lot of people 679 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,479 Speaker 1: that I haven't seen in a very long time to say, 680 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, I follow you on Instagram and I was like, 681 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: oh wow, I didn't know. You never say oh, I 682 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: never say anything. I just sit from the back. We 683 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: have been a programmed to not verbalize our support for 684 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: each other where we're certainly programmed to talk about what 685 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: we don't like, but we're not programmed to talk about 686 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: what we do like. And so we had this unfortunately 687 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: been psychologically just programmed in a way that if we 688 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 1: think we're promoting somebody, oh where you must be riding 689 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: they you know, riding they they they stuff you know 690 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say, I'm trying to keep it clean. 691 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: Or oh you must be you know you you you're 692 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: a fan. You know. We we have a real psychological 693 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: problem um with promoting each other. And so what happens 694 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: is entrepreneurs getting business and they don't get thes and 695 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: they get discouraged and they don't think nobody's looking at 696 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: their products, and that's just not it. Um. A lot 697 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: of people are looking. They just won't respond. And I 698 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: can tell you this because if you put something on 699 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: your page about how you going through the worst time 700 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,399 Speaker 1: of your life and put your business, watch and see 701 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,399 Speaker 1: how many people responding the comments, so they definitely see 702 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: what it is you're going through. We just unfortunately, you know, 703 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 1: just don't always verbalize it. But just know you have 704 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: to continue to keep putting your message out there, regardless 705 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: of people who are listening. I've been on I've been 706 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: doing radio and television over fifteen years, um and I 707 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: can go back on my YouTube and look at some 708 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,919 Speaker 1: stuff that I put out there over ten years ago 709 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: that only had fifty views, and I've taken it down 710 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: as unlisted because I wanted to keep those views small 711 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: to remind myself that I was speaking the same talk, 712 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: the same language when nobody was listening to me. That 713 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: means the same thing that I'm saying now. When it 714 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: was fifty people or fifty thousand people that download my 715 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: podcast on a monthly basis, my talk hasn't changed, and 716 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: so you need to have that as a reminder to 717 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: go through the struggle. The people who can't make it 718 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 1: through this is why people give up. Everybody started businesses 719 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: during Corona, but then as soon as the first year came, in, 720 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: the second year came, and the third year came. What 721 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: if I told you that you had to do what 722 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: you're doing right now for the next ten years. Would 723 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: you stay? Would you do it? Would you have the grind? 724 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: Would you have enough discipline to ignore folks in the comments? 725 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: Don't worry about who's in the comments and who ain't 726 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: in the comments? Why it ain't more people in here? 727 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: The bottom line is the right people are here. That 728 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: only take one to say yes. Let me say it 729 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: one more time. It only takes one to say yes. 730 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: So just keep on pushing family until you find that one.

And when I say 817 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: a competitor for both, they actually have u uh fan 818 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: base audio just like Twitter audio and the features that 819 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: Instagram has, so they have merged those together. Instagram doesn't 820 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 1: even have audio yet and so they have did that 821 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: over their fan base. And you can make revenue. Um. 822 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: I just got on and a couple of well I've 823 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: been on maybe a few months or so, but I 824 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: never posted. And I posted just a couple of posts 825 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: the other day and looked up and I had like 826 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: five dollars in revenue.

I've been on Instagram for years. 832 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: I never got a dollar off Instagram. That's why I 833 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 1: don't know why people talking about you owned to build 834 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: content for what you don't get paid. So uh, go 835 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: over the fan base. So at least I got five 836 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: dollars from from from fan base. Never got a dollar 837 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: on Instagram. So make sure, um that you go on 838 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,359 Speaker 1: fan base so that you can start building. Um. This 839 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 1: can be a way for you to build revenue for 840 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 1: your organizations, revenue for your business, or you know, just 841 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: revenue for yourself. Uh So, so check that out on 842 00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: fan base. I think I only have about a hundred 843 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 1: people that follow of me, and I have already three 844 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,439 Speaker 1: phones up doing what I'm doing now, so I didn't 845 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 1: have another phone. Otherwise I would have signed me o 846 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: cast on fan base as well. But I looked to 847 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: hope to see some of you guys over there on 848 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: fan base. Oh. Another great thing that fan base did 849 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,839 Speaker 1: they migrated my Instagram, so that was really cool. They 850 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: migrated my Instagram, um and pulled in all of my 851 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,720 Speaker 1: content from Instagram and put it immediately on fan base, 852 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,720 Speaker 1: and that was great. So they took like five something posts, 853 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: so it looks just like my Instagram. You don't see 854 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: the likes or the loves because again they just migrated 855 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,879 Speaker 1: it all at once.

I didn't make a dollar 897 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,879 Speaker 1: for two years. Every time I went somewhere or any 898 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: time I promoted my business, I had my baby with me. 899 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: I was in a city with no family and no friends. 900 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,720 Speaker 1: Her dad, who was my ex husband, who has always 901 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 1: been present.

This tas laid, but it is to be 1327 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 1: the barely And I am a certified seeing faults head. 1328 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,400 Speaker 1: I'm also the founder of the Sweet Sleep Company UM. 1329 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:07,600 Speaker 1: I provide nation wide sleep support for little ones newborns 1330 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 1: or four years old. UM A little backstory or how 1331 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 1: I got this business. UM. In the summer of two 1332 01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:19,439 Speaker 1: thousands twenty, I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility, and after 1333 01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:23,479 Speaker 1: many prayers and a little science, I was actually blessed 1334 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 1: to be pregnant and I gave first in April of 1335 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 1: one But near my third trimestor, I kept hearing un 1336 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,639 Speaker 1: solicited advice about how I needed to sleep now because 1337 01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 1: when the baby came, I would not be able to sleep. 1338 01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 1: And at a moment when I should have been aesthetic, 1339 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 1: I was being bombarded with negative negativity and I decided 1340 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,920 Speaker 1: that I didn't want that to be my life. UM. 1341 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: I didn't want no sleep to be my life. And 1342 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 1: I think a lot of time because parents, we believe 1343 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,680 Speaker 1: that when we have small children that we have to 1344 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 1: accept a life of no sleep. And so I started 1345 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,559 Speaker 1: to sleep the Sweet Sleep Company almost a year ago, UM, 1346 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,160 Speaker 1: and I've helped over fifty families get the sleep that 1347 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,439 Speaker 1: they need and deserve.

I did it through 1385 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,560 Speaker 1: a recession. I had three hundred employees, did not have 1386 01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:12,880 Speaker 1: a loan. I did what they call is factoring, which 1387 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,559 Speaker 1: is Robin Peter to pay Paul. I never had a grant. 1388 01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,280 Speaker 1: It was a for profit organization. UM. There's a lot 1389 01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,639 Speaker 1: of hustle UM that I can share with you guys. 1390 01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll do a virtual webinar on that on just 1391 01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, your elevator pitch and getting in front of 1392 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,240 Speaker 1: the right people and really knowing how to market your business. 1393 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,719 Speaker 1: And I want to point out what sweet Sweet Sweet 1394 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 1: just did as a positive and a learning tool for 1395 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,080 Speaker 1: those of you who you know may not have you know, 1396 01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 1: I really had to market your business. Notice how number 1397 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,040 Speaker 1: one she talked about her certifications. It was really important. 1398 01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,599 Speaker 1: And again a lot of people like talking with great ideas, 1399 01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 1: but what is the certification. Also, our brother um that 1400 01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,639 Speaker 1: talked about STEM also talked about his certification, his background 1401 01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 1: and him teaching history at the college, So that's really important. 1402 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,040 Speaker 1: It's not bragging. We have been programmed to think, oh 1403 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 1: you're bragging. Oh you a matter of fact, some people 1404 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,760 Speaker 1: said that about me. At the roule she she given 1405 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:10,840 Speaker 1: out her resume. Yeah, well you should want to talk 1406 01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 1: to people that got a resume. You should. If you're 1407 01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna take political advice from somebody, you should be taking 1408 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,720 Speaker 1: it from somebody who's actually worked on a campaign in 1409 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,800 Speaker 1: real life. And how about we step it up a 1410 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:22,720 Speaker 1: notch and say that this person actually worked on a 1411 01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,000 Speaker 1: winning campaign. And then let's take it to another not 1412 01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,599 Speaker 1: to say, oh, this person has actually worked on several 1413 01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 1: winning campaigns on the state and local and the federal, 1414 01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,040 Speaker 1: Or you can sit around and be a great space 1415 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,679 Speaker 1: coaster and talk all day about what should be done 1416 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 1: and would not be done and how we really need 1417 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: to be from people that have never worked on a campaign. 1418 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,120 Speaker 1: It's your choice. So we have been programmed a lot 1419 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,439 Speaker 1: of times to think that when you're talking about your 1420 01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:46,960 Speaker 1: certifications and what you're done, and it's what you've done 1421 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,720 Speaker 1: is a bad thing and it's not receipts matter. We're 1422 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:51,920 Speaker 1: the only ones that do that, talk about your receipts. 1423 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 1: The sister letting you know, I'm certified in this pediatrician 1424 01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,240 Speaker 1: certified meaning that the doctors say I know what I'm 1425 01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,400 Speaker 1: talking about when it comes to sleep. So that up. 1426 01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: She also had her her handle is already in her 1427 01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 1: company's name, so I didn't have to guess on who 1428 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,559 Speaker 1: it was or how to follow. She broke that down 1429 01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:10,559 Speaker 1: and the most important thing that I hope you guys 1430 01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,639 Speaker 1: picked up, she gave a quick backstory on her purpose. 1431 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 1: That's really really important. I tell businesses that just start 1432 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 1: out for the first time, what motivates you? And I 1433 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:22,799 Speaker 1: certainly talk about this in politics. What motivates you. Whatever 1434 01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 1: motivates you, that's gonna carry you through when you're not 1435 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,040 Speaker 1: getting no sales. That's gonna carry you through, when nobody's responding. 1436 01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,320 Speaker 1: Even on the political end, it's gonna carry you through. 1437 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:31,920 Speaker 1: This is why I try to tell a lot of 1438 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,200 Speaker 1: my folks who are very aggressive with you need to 1439 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,960 Speaker 1: support only this policy and this policy alone. No, not necessarily. 1440 01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 1: Everybody is not motivated by the same thing. It's not 1441 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 1: that they don't support the things that you support. They 1442 01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 1: just may be more interested in healthcare reform, our prison reform, 1443 01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:49,600 Speaker 1: our reparations, or whatever it is. Let people be motivated 1444 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,960 Speaker 1: by what motivates them, because that is what it's going 1445 01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 1: to keep them in the game. The name of the 1446 01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:57,479 Speaker 1: game and starting a business or in politics two very 1447 01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 1: similar things. Is how long you stay in? Anybody can 1448 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,840 Speaker 1: get in, but how long do you stay in? And 1449 01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,080 Speaker 1: so you're going to need kind of like a love affair, 1450 01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:08,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be something that's gonna keep you 1451 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,320 Speaker 1: in it. So although somebody may be more passionate about 1452 01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 1: something than you are, don't minimize that they need that 1453 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,600 Speaker 1: passion in order to get through. You heard with the succession, 1454 01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 1: said I was bombarded with a bunch of negativity. So 1455 01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,000 Speaker 1: what did she do? She decided to provide a solution 1456 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,200 Speaker 1: for that. Hey, I'm the embarded with negativity, so let 1457 01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,840 Speaker 1: me provide a solution to make sure somebody else has 1458 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,680 Speaker 1: a better time. That is how That's what's gonna keep 1459 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,320 Speaker 1: this in the game long term, to be able to 1460 01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 1: remind yourself on what it was for you and how 1461 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:38,559 Speaker 1: you can pass it on to someone else. And that's 1462 01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 1: what I try to do in politics, and try to 1463 01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,639 Speaker 1: teach you guys in politics that what motivates you doesn't 1464 01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,080 Speaker 1: motivate everybody else. You don't have to shoot on them 1465 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,400 Speaker 1: and their dreams. You do what motivates you, and hopefully 1466 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 1: as we come together, we can see that all of 1467 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,639 Speaker 1: those missing pieces can move us forward as a as 1468 01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 1: in progress in our community. So I wanted to use 1469 01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 1: that as an example because I liked how she put 1470 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,439 Speaker 1: that out there. Also, she left with a and the 1471 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,800 Speaker 1: call to action was saying she can help you anywhere nationwide. 1472 01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:10,320 Speaker 1: She understand she's talking to a nationwide audience, So anywhere nationwide, 1473 01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 1: I can help you. Online. Somebody maybe said, well, how 1474 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:14,800 Speaker 1: could you help me online? Were sleeping?

She gave you the website. She also 1477 01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:24,080 Speaker 1: has her handle not as too Chicken Wings and a Pepper. 1478 01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,680 Speaker 1: She has it literally as her company name. So that 1479 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,120 Speaker 1: means she's on social media to do business. Some of 1480 01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,719 Speaker 1: you are on to be social. She's here to do business. 1481 01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 1: And that's the difference between how close you get to 1482 01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,759 Speaker 1: your customer and staff. Could we call it working closest 1483 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:39,160 Speaker 1: to the dollar, So she's working very close to the 1484 01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:41,080 Speaker 1: dollar by those things that I mentioned.

UM. 1635 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,400 Speaker 1: The state planning is one of the most important things 1636 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,160 Speaker 1: you'll do in your life, and the Black community has 1637 01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: been underserved.

UM. 1641 01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,759 Speaker 1: It was very surprising. The family was running around everywhere. 1642 01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure we all have UM experience just like this. 1643 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,599 Speaker 1: And the most important thing seeing that I'm very thankful 1644 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,360 Speaker 1: for for doing is having an established state plan that's 1645 01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 1: a will and life insurance.

UM. I 1663 01:27:56,360 --> 01:28:00,280 Speaker 1: got my solicitor license in ninety eight would I COO, 1664 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:02,720 Speaker 1: went on to get my Justice Type two, eventually got 1665 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 1: my Group one, which, as you know, sales insurance. I 1666 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,720 Speaker 1: let it go in about two thousand and sixteen. And 1667 01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,080 Speaker 1: what the brothers saying is right, you know, I know 1668 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,719 Speaker 1: as we advocate and again I'm just saying this because 1669 01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:17,000 Speaker 1: of the Twitter families heavily involved in reparations. We talk 1670 01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:18,920 Speaker 1: a lot about reparations, but what about if you don't 1671 01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 1: give reparations and in our lifetime, what are you leaving 1672 01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 1: to your children? Um? And life insurance is not expensive, 1673 01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:28,280 Speaker 1: especially when you look at term life insurance, you know, 1674 01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:30,840 Speaker 1: which can be ten year or twenty years. Myself, I 1675 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,760 Speaker 1: have to a whole life as well as term. The 1676 01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,960 Speaker 1: reason why I had whole life, which was a little 1677 01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,160 Speaker 1: bit more expensive, is because I like the fact that 1678 01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:40,160 Speaker 1: you could borrow from the policy, because I looked at 1679 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,960 Speaker 1: that as an opportunity to be able in case my 1680 01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,320 Speaker 1: dad got ill or anything like that. I wanted to 1681 01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:48,040 Speaker 1: be able to make sure I could afford him being 1682 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:51,080 Speaker 1: in the hospital. Both of my parents have passed away. UM. 1683 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,479 Speaker 1: And not only you know, do I believe in life insurance, 1684 01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:57,320 Speaker 1: we also all had prepaid burials. UM. We did that 1685 01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:00,200 Speaker 1: twenty plus years ago. My family is very much into 1686 01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,040 Speaker 1: understanding that there is life and there is death. We're 1687 01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:05,680 Speaker 1: all going to die, and so my mother was very 1688 01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:09,320 Speaker 1: good in that of making sure that the funerals already 1689 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,880 Speaker 1: paid for this outside of life insurance, making sure the 1690 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 1: funerals paid for, the cast is picked up. I mean 1691 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:15,960 Speaker 1: my grandmother, she got it down on her outfit. She 1692 01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,280 Speaker 1: always reminded me, shout out to grandmother, She's ninety one 1693 01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,599 Speaker 1: years old. Every time I come home, Hey, make sure 1694 01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 1: you know this is where my outfit is. That's whatever 1695 01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:24,559 Speaker 1: my plots are picked out. I know where I'm gonna 1696 01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,040 Speaker 1: be buried. All of that is paid. So all all 1697 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:29,559 Speaker 1: my family has to do of something, you know, where 1698 01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:31,760 Speaker 1: to happen to me, not if something, because there is 1699 01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:35,080 Speaker 1: going to be something life and death. Death is sure. 1700 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,800 Speaker 1: Um that all they have to do is focus on 1701 01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,559 Speaker 1: grieving and not even insurance is spending the insurance money 1702 01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:44,439 Speaker 1: money on burying me. All of that is taken care of. 1703 01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:49,160 Speaker 1: So I absolutely believe in a state planning. I absolutely believe. 1704 01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:52,200 Speaker 1: And let me just tell you this, UM, working with 1705 01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:54,240 Speaker 1: so many families, if you know my background and know 1706 01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 1: of all of the families that I've worked with as 1707 01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:59,479 Speaker 1: a result of police brutality, the number one thing that 1708 01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:03,200 Speaker 1: breaks up these families is, uh, what who does what 1709 01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:05,880 Speaker 1: with the money? Who gets what? And who is the 1710 01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:07,720 Speaker 1: next of ken and all of that and it has 1711 01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:12,680 Speaker 1: literally destroyed families. So I cannot stress enough to have 1712 01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:16,760 Speaker 1: a plan in place. Do not assume that everybody and 1713 01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:19,400 Speaker 1: your family is gonna do the right thing. Do not 1714 01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:22,320 Speaker 1: assume that, uh you know. Now, for me, I was 1715 01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,280 Speaker 1: an only child, so it was very clear, you know, 1716 01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:26,759 Speaker 1: with my parents. But if you have brothers and sisters, 1717 01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,479 Speaker 1: and you know that that your brother is not the 1718 01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:32,400 Speaker 1: person that needs to be in charge of whatever it is, 1719 01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:36,760 Speaker 1: the property or even to the funeral um, make sure 1720 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,120 Speaker 1: that you have that stuff written out in a will, 1721 01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:42,160 Speaker 1: down to the very details. I've seen families tear each 1722 01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:45,320 Speaker 1: other apart based upon who was listed on the obituary. 1723 01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:48,000 Speaker 1: My mom wrote all her stuff out in advance, so 1724 01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:51,400 Speaker 1: did my grandmother. But make sure that even down to 1725 01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:55,120 Speaker 1: the minute details, that you are taking care of that, because, 1726 01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:58,800 Speaker 1: like the brother said, you're either leaving a bill, you know, 1727 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,599 Speaker 1: or uh, you're leaving a blessing. But let me also 1728 01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:04,120 Speaker 1: say that a lot of you are leaving chaos, a 1729 01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:07,120 Speaker 1: lot of chaos behind not planning. You know, I don't 1730 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:09,040 Speaker 1: want to deal with it right now. Well somebody's gonna 1731 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:10,840 Speaker 1: have to deal with it, so wide leave that burden 1732 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:12,880 Speaker 1: upon your family. So I just want to give that quick, little, 1733 01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:16,360 Speaker 1: quick little shout out uh to that brother, and and 1734 01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:18,599 Speaker 1: we need more of that.

Do not let a graphic designer or 1802 01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:52,799 Speaker 1: a web place designer hold up your progress. My website 1803 01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:55,160 Speaker 1: teslam figure on dot com. I built that myself. I 1804 01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,280 Speaker 1: don't wait on anybody because I don't have time to 1805 01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:59,120 Speaker 1: wait on anybody, nor did I have a budget to 1806 01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:00,720 Speaker 1: be waiting on somebody. It in I need to be 1807 01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,200 Speaker 1: able to change my data in real time. So I 1808 01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:05,479 Speaker 1: built my web page from beginning to end. And I'm 1809 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,400 Speaker 1: not a graphic designer. There are too many products out there, 1810 01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:11,920 Speaker 1: you guys, self help products.

So no disuspect to the 1813 01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 1: graphic designers in the building. I know they like doing 1814 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:22,000 Speaker 1: stuff with they like building stuff on WordPress. But don't 1815 01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:25,240 Speaker 1: wait on them because what happens is and it can 1816 01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:28,120 Speaker 1: uh you know, missing an opportunity. But in the meantime, 1817 01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:30,800 Speaker 1: definitely share your Arthur page on Amazon. But I just 1818 01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:32,840 Speaker 1: want to give that to the other entrepreneurs in the building. 1819 01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:35,800 Speaker 1: You have a web page.

They currently have less than five hundred members 2009 01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:02,400 Speaker 1: uh at the last time that I checked. UM. As 2010 01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:05,920 Speaker 1: of the third first of August, they closed UM the 2011 01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:09,439 Speaker 1: gap they closed down being able to come in and 2012 01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,080 Speaker 1: invest in the Crown funding.

And you know, although I agree that we 2091 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,519 Speaker 1: can get better with supporting each other, UM, I still 2092 01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:23,320 Speaker 1: agree with what you said on creating this idea that 2093 01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:25,880 Speaker 1: we do not share, that we do not build we do. 2094 01:50:26,200 --> 01:50:28,840 Speaker 1: You know, people love talking about well if we just 2095 01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:30,760 Speaker 1: did this, and if we just did that, we do 2096 01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:32,600 Speaker 1: do it. Maybe you're just not a right around the 2097 01:50:32,720 --> 01:50:35,040 Speaker 1: ruck the right people. Maybe you need to get in 2098 01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:37,479 Speaker 1: a circle of folks who are who are trying to 2099 01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:39,960 Speaker 1: build what we with each other. So if you feel 2100 01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:41,800 Speaker 1: like that's just like me saying oh, all me and 2101 01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:44,040 Speaker 1: do this, well, maybe that's all the men that you met. 2102 01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:46,639 Speaker 1: If you say all women do X y Z, maybe 2103 01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:48,680 Speaker 1: that's all the women that you met. I want to 2104 01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:51,760 Speaker 1: close with this. You need to expand your circle. If 2105 01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:54,120 Speaker 1: your circle, and when I say expand it, I don't 2106 01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:56,120 Speaker 1: mean have a big circle, I mean have the right circle. 2107 01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:57,800 Speaker 1: So if that means some of you might need to 2108 01:50:57,840 --> 01:50:59,920 Speaker 1: decrease your circle, make it just a little bit smaller 2109 01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:02,640 Speaker 1: from those who want to invest in your dream. And 2110 01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:05,200 Speaker 1: investing in your dream is not always buying something. It 2111 01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:07,320 Speaker 1: could be a word of encouragement. It could be a 2112 01:51:07,400 --> 01:51:10,240 Speaker 1: gift that share with you. It could be a support, 2113 01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:11,880 Speaker 1: it could be any of those that you could be 2114 01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:15,200 Speaker 1: just simply clicking light on the post. At the end 2115 01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:18,240 Speaker 1: of the day, center people around you that are trying 2116 01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,160 Speaker 1: to build, not take away. You won't see me do 2117 01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:23,960 Speaker 1: a lot of Twitter spaces because again, what what I 2118 01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:26,800 Speaker 1: I think Twitter space can be very helpful. But at 2119 01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:29,320 Speaker 1: the same time it can also be a place where 2120 01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:31,120 Speaker 1: a lot of folks who are just not here for 2121 01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:33,680 Speaker 1: the right reason. So I lean more to my Instagram 2122 01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:37,880 Speaker 1: family when I'm trying to engage. I'm not on here 2123 01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:40,280 Speaker 1: to be social. I'm on here to be about business, 2124 01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:43,120 Speaker 1: to move our social conscious forward, to move our social 2125 01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:46,960 Speaker 1: dollar forward, to move our our social interaction forward. So 2126 01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:49,760 Speaker 1: if you're about foolishness, then I'm not. I'm not too 2127 01:51:49,840 --> 01:51:51,880 Speaker 1: much interested in that. And as a result of that, 2128 01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:54,360 Speaker 1: you're not gonna see do the big numbers that you 2129 01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:57,679 Speaker 1: see chaos. Chaos will always get big numbers. That's nothing. 2130 01:51:57,720 --> 01:52:00,760 Speaker 1: Anybody can go set a fire. Anybody can set a fire, 2131 01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:03,519 Speaker 1: and the and the firefighter will call. But who among 2132 01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:05,559 Speaker 1: you can build a house? I'm gonna leave it there. 2133 01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:08,360 Speaker 1: Who among you can build a house? It's very easy. 2134 01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:10,800 Speaker 1: All it takes is just a few minutes to set 2135 01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:13,360 Speaker 1: something on fire. All it takes is a little bit 2136 01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:15,560 Speaker 1: of gasoline and one match. They don't take there's not 2137 01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:18,320 Speaker 1: no science or set something on fire. But how many 2138 01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:21,599 Speaker 1: of you have the discipline, have the tenacity to build 2139 01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:23,800 Speaker 1: a house brick by brick? How many of you are 2140 01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:26,040 Speaker 1: willing to go out into a forest and chop down 2141 01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:28,320 Speaker 1: the tree, and nevy, how many of you are willing 2142 01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:30,960 Speaker 1: to do it with your own hands and your own labor. See, 2143 01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:32,720 Speaker 1: that's how we get to see who the real who 2144 01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:35,960 Speaker 1: are the real strong ones among us? And so when 2145 01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:38,320 Speaker 1: you're building a house, you're not gonna have the big 2146 01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:40,679 Speaker 1: platforms and the big we all on my platform ain't 2147 01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:42,840 Speaker 1: big enough. You got to build it brick by brick. 2148 01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:46,880 Speaker 1: Ain't nobody building nothing for me, brick by brick. That's 2149 01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:48,519 Speaker 1: why I talk with my chest out. You don't have 2150 01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,240 Speaker 1: to like it, but I built it brick by brick. 2151 01:52:51,520 --> 01:52:54,280 Speaker 1: I could easily just set up and make videos and 2152 01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:57,200 Speaker 1: talk about people all day every day. And what what 2153 01:52:57,320 --> 01:52:59,439 Speaker 1: am I gon say? It's gonna get somebody to click 2154 01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:02,240 Speaker 1: on this, quick on that? Or I can say how 2155 01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:04,639 Speaker 1: can I use my mouth? How can I use my gift? 2156 01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:08,200 Speaker 1: How can I use my talent to put something positive 2157 01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:11,840 Speaker 1: into the community. Those are the ones that I respect. 2158 01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:13,920 Speaker 1: Whore gonna stay on the long term when it's just 2159 01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:16,760 Speaker 1: ten ten people listening to twenty people listen, Those are 2160 01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:19,599 Speaker 1: the ones that I respect. Anybody can tear something down, 2161 01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:22,519 Speaker 1: anybody can tear people down, but who among you are 2162 01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:26,639 Speaker 1: going to build?
