I was born in San Francisco, 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.840 but I grew up here. Left many times and winded. 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.440 About Okay, cool off air you was talking about AI. 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.039 AI is a dominant form of conversation. In fact, I 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.760 was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.039 I actually got in a car with no driver and 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.160 felt comfortable with that car driving me around the city. 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.400 In fact, I was a lot more comfortable. I didn't 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:42.920 have to tip. 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.400 I didn't even have to tip, driver didn't ask for 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.640 a timp, just let me out and I would all 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.680 buy my business. So for me to have that experience 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.920 was unique because technology is in front of us and 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:56.160 is not going anywhere. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.280 Talk about why you value AI so much. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:05.120 Because it makes life simplified. I am of an age 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.919 group that finds it a little intimidating and scary, and 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.959 so my dedication is to help them navigate through it 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.919 and not be afraid of it. It is simply a tool. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.240 It's going to be a good tool in a good 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.600 person's hand, it'll be a bad tool in a bad 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.440 person's hand, but it is something that will definitely simplify 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:26.120 your life. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.880 You know, I am old enough to have went through 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:30.799 dial telephones. 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.799 Then you know remote remote was a big deal. Got 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.320 a remote TV the house. You know, I got the 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.400 little cell phone. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.160 And then all of a sudden when the era of 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.080 the iPad and now you know you can talk to 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.800 somebody around the world and visually see them. That's what 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.000 technology is to us today. Now when you talk about 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.320 your lying, that's effect which is a business model. Now, 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.080 how does it help women move from purpose to profit 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.480 with our co comprimising their values, Doctor James. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.200 It first teaches them their identity. Once they know who 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:11.040 they are and they can embrace their uniqueness, then they 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.919 can utilize that as their superpower. So once that happens, 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.000 then you can start to step out in your true, 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:23.240 authentic self, build business, be authentic to your clients or 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.560 your customers because of who you are. But it starts 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.200 with knowing who you are and identifying that, not trying 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.320 to be anybody else, not trying to walk in anybody 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.560 else's lane. So your authenticity is your empowerment. I call 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:38.600 it your superpower. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.320 Use that word a lot, superpower. Why do you use 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.120 the word superpower so much? And why is it important 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.520 that you educate people to purpose as to why you're 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:49.080 using it. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.800 Superpower means that for me, I'm a woman of faith, 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.720 So for me, superpower means that you've taken the super 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.560 of God, put it on your own natural and you've 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.920 been in powers buy it. So that's why superpower is 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:04.160 very very important to me. 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.200 You know, women, I grew up with six sisters, I 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.080 have two brothers that come from a big family, and 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.720 there are so many challenges that women have to deal with, 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.440 you know, you know, the looks become a part of it, 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.080 how they dress become a part of how they talk, 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.280 to have kids or not to have kids. So there's 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.360 so many variables that are put in front of a woman. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.640 How do you motivate women to still seek out their 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.160 dreams despite all these stereotypes of what they should look like, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.560 what they should do, and how they should educate themselves. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.440 Again, it goes back to your identity. If you are 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.760 trying to be what culture you said that you are, 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.600 then you're going to miss who you are authentically. We 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:57.240 are on television, women being portrayed as a certain way. 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.200 So I'm like you, I've grown up through all the 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.200 different I can remember back in the day when there 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:09.800 was model tweeting Twiggy and we're told you need to 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.560 be twitting as an African American woman, just say. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.320 Right, right, right, right right. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.400 And so we needed to be able to love who 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:26.240 we are, love our own skin, love how we were 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.680 created to be so, and not try and emulate what 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:35.920 culture has said. Even in the business community as we transition, 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.480 we've gotten much better now see on boards when our 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:44.240 CEOs and CEOs. But there was a time when the 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.200 only thing you were good enough to do is be 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:52.400 a secretary and other people right, Okay, you know your potential, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.599 but nobody else wanted to give you that chance. So 0:05:55.760 --> 0:06:00.159 you have to be comfortable enough to go forward and 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.880 who you are without trying to be that bull in 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:07.760 the China cabinet. I'm not trying to make waves. I 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.640 am just trying to make room for who I am. 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.760 Preach girl, Preach doctor Jay. You know you kind of 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.240 got close to the camera on that one. 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.320 Okay, but this is good because you don't people were 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.040 passionate would drive success. But let's talk about some of 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.279 the questions, you submit it because they were really good. Now, 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.160 one of the questions was one of the biggest mindset 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:34.120 and structural mistakes women make that prevent them from monetizing 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:35.800 their expertise. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.760 That they're not good enough, that they are not enough 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.080 just in who they are, and they based out on 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.560 something that somebody said to them back in the day 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.080 or something that they said to themselves. We can be 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.919 our biggest limitter if we are not in the proper mindset. 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.480 You'll hear me go back to ideay. I need to 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:06.359 know who I am authentically so that I can appreciate 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:12.040 that and not doubt it. Our uniqueness pushes us forward 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.800 if you let what somebody told you so, maybe a 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.400 teacher told you you weren't smart enough, right, Maybe a 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:24.200 parent didn't allow you to express yourself now respectfully, but 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.120 to express your conversations that no, a child needs to 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.880 just be seen and not heard. You remember that back 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.600 your day, and so you limited that because you didn't 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:39.760 think your voice was valuable enough to be heard. And 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:44.120 so you have to come up from that place and understand, no, 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.760 you are enough. You are enough in who you were 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.200 created to be. I am a firm believer that we 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:54.360 were created on purpose for purpose. We are not a mistake, 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.440 and we are not just here because Mama and Daddy 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.480 decided to have some fun one night. We are here 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:04.080 at this point of time because we have something to accomplish. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:09.760 Cool. I'm speaking doctor Corlette James. She's based in Las Vegas. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.119 Her Faith Faith nonprofit organization is dedicated to empower women 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.680 to heal lead. Let's talk about the first part, empower 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:19.680 women to heal. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.320 Heal from what heal. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.400 From past traumas and abuses. Some of it comes from 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.520 childhood abuse, some could be sexual abuse, some could be 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.800 domestic abuse. Maybe you are in an abusive relationship. Others 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:39.320 could be societal abuse because society would have put you 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.120 in a box that you have to break out of. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.920 But in order to really realize your dreams and understand 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.800 that your dreams are important, you have to heal from 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.120 the various different abuses that caused you to limit your 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.520 belief in yourself. So we help you just heal from 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:56.240 that point. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.480 Now by healing, how does that allow you to lead? 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.880 Doctor James. 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.200 A hurt leader will hurt people. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.320 Okay, if you're still walking in that pain, you're not 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.960 free to properly lead others to where you have been 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.560 orchestrated to take them. 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.560 Remember, leadership means you go out front, right, So if 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.320 you haven't healed, then how are you going to help 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.280 somebody else heal? If you're outfront leading, I can't take 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.960 you to where I haven't been. I need to go 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.920 out front, make the way and let you understand that 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.120 if I can do it, you can do it. So 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.599 that's why healing is so important in leadership. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.320 Now, when you look at you know yourself. You know 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:48.200 you are a nonprofit business. Why did you decide to 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.000 be an entrepreneur? Even though we were a nonprofit? You're 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.199 an entrepreneur, you're a small business owner. Why was that 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.320 important versus just nine to five forty hours a week, 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.920 a little overtime here and there, got insurance, maybe a 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:06.040 four to one k easy way out? Doctor James? What 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.520 motivates you to walk a different path? 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.480 I grew up in an entrepreneurial home. Okay, my parents 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:25.640 were entrepreneurs and and please understand that I I. 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.600 Was Okay, Okay, we're gonna get back to that question. 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.320 Because you were in that world and now you're empowering 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.800 people to not really basically have a voice, because in 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.120 that world of a corporate structure, let's be honest, you 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:42.920 don't have a voice. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.360 You don't have a voice, do you manage? 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.440 You're doing business for what that company wants, and they 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.960 have a brand they want you to maintain. So your 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.200 voice is that brand. I don't care who you work for, 0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:01.199 what corporation you work for.

I want you to project a distributor 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.360 for me.

Okay, the minus affect business model does 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.720 not separate your faith from your business. All right. It's 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.480 not that you're out there preaking to your customers or 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.640 your clients, but you're being authentic to your faith and 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.040 your core value as you're out there. And so it's 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:43.200 it's combined. And because of my my over thirty forty years. 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.800 Come speak to you.

So please, if you have anything 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:16.200 to take away from Rashan McDonald, project your greatness, because 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.280 you can't accomplish what you're trying to accomplish unless you 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.480 have lived a life. You cannot talk to a potential 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.680 lyingness if you don't have examples of how you can 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.840 live your life through your example. Long jeredy means something, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.880 doctor James. So it's back to you now let me. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.640 Say this, and because I'm proud of it, I'll be 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:38.600 seventy this year. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.760 There you go, come on now, so you. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.840 Know, and it's something that I put out there because 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.680 I want women to understand. You can dream at any age. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.360 It's pivot at any age. You can walk out there 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.400 and start something totally brand new at any age. And 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.000 so it's important to know, like I was trying. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.920 To it on it. I know you money maken sessions since. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.600 I was thirteen years old, so I was out in 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:11.480 the workforce over fifty years. But as as an executive, 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:16.800 I bring that that business acronym into what I teach 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.440 with the lioness effects. So I combine the business aspect 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:24.600 along with the Kingdom morals and values to teach absolutely. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.840 Let that be out here. How can women stop overserving 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.080 and under earning while still leading with integrity and purpose? 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.800 Talk to me about that, because they they choices. Okay, 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.280 it's just choices about the way they look, the way 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.520 they act. What are those choices? 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:48.600 There's choices about your whole person, right, all right? Because again, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.160 even if you're on the job, you're still your brand. 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.800 You're still who you are, all right, So don't don't 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:00.880 be hesitant to speak up. You know, don't don't tell 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:05.120 me your light. You were created to shine, So don't 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.520 tell your light whether you're on the job or your business. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:14.400 Be authentically youth and speak and dress the part. Dress 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.720 where you where you, not just where you are, because 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.640 sometimes you may not be where you want to be, 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.840 but dress the part where you want to be. Carry 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:28.160 yourself in a manner that represents your bread. It's yours, 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.560 whether you're on somebody else's job or not. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:34.040 You know, as you as you started your journey. And 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:34.960 you're smart. 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.720 I say smart because she didn't jump out there on 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.520 faith with the Lioness. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:41.840 She had a full time job. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:47.000 So she was able to, I like to believe, build 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.440 a better path to success because you didn't walk away 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:51.040 from revenues. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.520 A lot of people they walk away from that revenue. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.360 Then all of a sudden they make it just rush 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:00.400 decisions or impulsive decisions, or don't want to see it 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.000 through because frustration can say then like bills are do 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.600 and things of that nature. Talking to my listeners, being 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.880 the fact that you decided to do to do two 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.760 things at the same time and still give one hundred 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.480 percent effort. How were you able to accomplish that? Doctor James, 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:19.520 I use. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:24.639 Wisdom, seriously. I use wisdom to navigate what it is 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.040 that I needed to do, and I had to prioritize 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:32.280 my time. It's what I know that during a certain 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.960 time of the day, my time is allocated to that 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.280 job because they're paying me to do a job. They're 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.320 not paying me to do my nonprofit. So I dealt 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.119 with that now being an executive out there in the 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:47.080 business world, my time was very valuable. And the fact 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.680 that it wasn't a nine to five. You know, when 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.360 you're in that c swee area, it's not a nine 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:57.160 to five. But I still allocated time to pursue what 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.520 I was passionate about. And even all the job, there 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.439 were women that I mentioned on the job, so I 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:09.080 was still to who I was women, that's what we're 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.800 all to do and using wisdom and how you do 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.280 it so that you don't get fired. 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.879 She has a business model called the Lioness Effect. It 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.560 helps women move from purpose to profit with our compromising 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.000 their values. I want to go back to that line 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:29.960 right there, move from purpose to profit with our compromising 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:30.879 their values? 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.720 What are you saying there? And when you. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.920 See it happening, how do you help someone correct what 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.160 you deem as a problem. 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:47.520 Going from purpose to profit is taking your your passion 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.879 to a place of monetization. And that was something that 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:52.879 I had to learn to do because I have a 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.920 heart to serve and to give, and so it had 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.879 to I had to stop and put a value on 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.600 what I was giving. And a lot of times, when 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:08.440 you're just giving everything away, it is not valued by 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.800 that other person as much as if they put value 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:16.000 on it, and that'll come from their pockets sometimes, So 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.600 you have to learn and navigate the waters. I've been 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.280 in ministry since nineteen ninety two, so giving was part 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.639 of who I was. However, I'm still in business as well, 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.600 and so there is a value on what I give 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.879 you and what I offer you. My time is valuable 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.120 and I have to learn that. So what I try 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:42.639 to teach people to correct what they're doing is to 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.320 value what they're serving. What is it that you're giving 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.119 your customers, What is it that you're giving your clients 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:50.919 and put value on that. 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.520 Now that's important that you're saying that because of the 0:19:55.560 --> 0:20:00.280 fact that when you start doing actionable plan as the 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.560 actionable items you know, you know, how do you give 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:07.639 advice to clarify their value, their position, their expertise, and 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.320 increase revenue because that's the bottom line, you want to 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.400 make more money. So what actionable steps can listeners take 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:17.879 immediately to clarify their value from you? From the model? 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.160 Did you be we're really talking to women? The line's effect, 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.680 that's your business model. Talk to us? 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:30.040 What would you pay for I paid no question. 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:33.520 You came out so strong to me. 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.360 I got to start answered, well, I pay for value, 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:44.920 doctor James. I went to you had me in class mode. Okay, 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:46.960 doctor James, I pay for value? 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.800 What you pay for what you're offering somebody else? 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:52.280 Okay? 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.359 Would it be valuable to you? And how much would 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.560 you pay for it? What would it be worth to 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.919 you to receive it? That's the first place that you 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.680 have to start. If you wouldn't buy what you're trying 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:06.560 to sell to somebody else, then why are you trying 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:10.080 to sell it to somebody else? What is the quality? 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:14.040 Not the quantity, but what is the quality in what 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.520 you're offering? Have you brought it up to with a 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:22.000 level of excellence. So the quality speaks to the price 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:26.080 tame because if it doesn't, then you're spinning your wheels 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:30.640 and you're not aligning yourself with who you should authentically be. 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:35.000 As again, as a person of faith, you should be 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.639 going over and above what the natural would be, because 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:40.840 that's what God does for you. He goes over and 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.320 above what He gives unto you, and you should follow 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:48.080 that model. So what would you buy from you? 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:54.280 Right, that's a beautiful question. I live on that motto. 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.960 I said, people pay you on how they value you. 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.919 You know, people call you if they see value to 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:02.560 call you. 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:05.040 Now if you don't position yourself, if you if you're 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:06.720 a person at parties all the time, where they only 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:07.960 want to call you when they want to go. 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:09.320 To a party. 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.439 If you're a person they seek strong mentorship where they 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:16.000 gonna call you when they need advice. You get raised 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:17.800 at you will get a raised at your job if 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.280 people that person sees value in the work that you're 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:25.640 consistently doing. But in the end, there are different layers 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:29.960 about freedom and how to build wealth, and that's what 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:34.440 we're talking about on money making conversations wealth building, and 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:38.280 a lot of people want to win the lottery, which 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.320 is a process over there, and if you spend enough 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.960 time playing a lottery, you're gonna win something. 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:48.560 How do you build wealth under the model that you 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:49.680 call the Lioness. 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.680 I look at wealth from various different avenues. I look 0:22:54.720 --> 0:23:01.040 at wealth first and foremost by the wisdom's walking there, okay, 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:06.639 because wealth is not always monetary. Wealth can carry a 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:10.679 whole lot of different things. My biggest wealth marget is 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:14.160 the legacy that I'm leaving. What am I leaving behind? 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:18.520
