Like, where 21 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: did it start from point A to getting here. 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 5: Yes, well it started with me scrapping in high school. 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 5: Like I used to have a lot of fights. I 24 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 5: don't know why, but the queen, Yes, shout. 25 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: Out to queen or listen, I'm feisty.

So that's where it started. 34 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: Write that down. 35 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 5: But I think there's something to that, right, like even 36 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 5: just being a fighter, all of the challenges, I'm very 37 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 5: grateful for them now because I think it just it 38 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 5: helps you. 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: To be, like I was talking about earlier, relentless. 40 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 5: You know, when you have, you know, issues with lights 41 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 5: going out, and you know, I would go to the 42 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 5: grocery store and have to pay with food stamps and 43 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 5: I would be like hiding in the aisles waiting for 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 5: my friends and my neighbors to leave. So that they 45 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 5: wouldn't see me, you know, because I had so much 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 5: shame around it, and you know, wait for them to leave, 47 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 5: be very strategic, and then sometimes you get caught and 48 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 5: I just leave, walk home from the grocery store and cry, 49 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, just being embarrassed. I think 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 5: all of that helped me to be very focused and 51 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 5: helped me to be relentless, like a dog with the 52 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 5: bone when I want to make something happen. 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: So I'm very grateful for all of those experiences. 54 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 5: And I'm also grateful because then I relate to a 55 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 5: lot of people too, because a lot of people have 56 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 5: that story, and everybody has a story of struggle of 57 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 5: some kind. And that story of struggle, we think is 58 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 5: a disadvantage, it's actually an advantage because entrepreneurship is not easy. 59 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: Building wealth is not easy. 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 5: Taking yourself from zero to a lot more is not 61 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 5: an easy journey. So if you've had challenges already, great, 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 5: you're equipped, you ready, you have the right stuff. 63 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: In your in. 64 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 5: Your toolbox to get you through the challenges of the journey. 65 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, So this mindset, and I wonder when when I 66 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 6: listen to you speak, sometimes I'm wondering that millionaire mindset. 67 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 6: Is that something that that you're naturally born with or 68 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 6: is it something that's developed? And I wondered because I remember, right, 69 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 6: it's one of these things. 70 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: When I was younger, I used. 71 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 6: To write the stories and I'll say, Mom, I of 72 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 6: all buy you a mansion one day, and she kept 73 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 6: the stories like, well, Troy was my mansion. 74 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: Wait, I mentioned that time to pay the piper. 75 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 6: Right, So I wanted. I mean, obviously that was in 76 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 6: my mind at that time when I was a young child. 77 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 6: But I'm wondering, from your journey and being around your community, 78 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 6: is that something that you see that is inherently part 79 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 6: of a person's characteristic or is that something that's developed. 80 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 5: I think a millionaire mindset is developed, and I think 81 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 5: it keeps being developed, right, like even now. What has 82 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 5: made me so proud of this conference too, is that 83 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 5: the speakers are changing their flights and sticking around. 84 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: A lot of speakers dip in and out. 85 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 5: They're like, oh no, no, no, no, no, I'm staying here. 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 5: I'm a hangout right. That makes me so proud. And 87 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 5: the reason why I mentioned that is because even when 88 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 5: we're far, even when we have New York Times bestselling 89 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 5: books and we have eight figure businesses. There's still so 90 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 5: much to learn, right, There's still so much to accomplish 91 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 5: and to do, and you never stop learning. So I 92 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 5: think you're always working on that millionaire mindset. But I 93 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 5: also know that having to go to the grocery store 94 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 5: with food stamps and having the conded come to my 95 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 5: door and turn off the lights and all of the 96 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 5: stuff that that came with that got me very focused 97 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 5: on money at a very early age. So I was 98 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 5: always curious, like, how are people making money? And I 99 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 5: tell the story in my book about how I used 100 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 5: to babysit for this. 101 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: Little girl named Alana. It was a Jewish family. 102 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 5: They were so sweet, and it was in Douglaston and 103 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 5: I grew up in Flushing, Queens, right. Douglaston is a 104 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 5: much nicer neighborhood.

What was interesting is I started 213 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 5: with a law practice. So I went to law school. 214 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 5: I graduated during the two thousand and eight recession, and 215 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 5: there were not. 216 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: A lot of jobs available. 217 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 5: How low was I was actually studying like family law. 218 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 5: I actually went to a school that has specialty in 219 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 5: IP law, and I was like, nah, I'm not interested 220 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 5: in that. I was like, no, I'm going to do 221 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 5: family law because I wanted to help people. 222 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 4: What does that mean, like you know a city battles 223 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 4: and stuff? 224 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 5: Well, yes, but also like I imagine doing something like 225 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 5: working for a nonprofit. And I remember I sat down 226 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 5: with my sister and she had like a neighbor. We 227 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 5: had lunch with her, and they both sat me down 228 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 5: and they were like, listen, you need to get this money. Okay, 229 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 5: you see these loans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're not doing 230 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 5: the nonprofit thing. Maybe you could do that in the future, 231 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 5: but like, right now, you need to pay these loans backs. 232 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: Right. So they had to have a talk with me 233 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: about that. 234 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 5: But what was interesting, So I started I want to 235 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 5: start in my own law practice, because law firms are 236 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 5: often very toxic spaces. And I had intern at a 237 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 5: few places, and I was like, this ain't gonna last. 238 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 5: Like I'm just not the type of person that is 239 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 5: obedient enough to work in a corporate environment long term. 240 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 3: That's very well put. I know some people like that. 241 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: So I was like, this ain't ever gonna work. 242 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 5: So like and here was my thinking, and I literally 243 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 5: said this to my husband. 244 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm already broke. 245 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 5: So if I'm already broke, it's better to not take 246 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 5: the law firm job where I'd make a lot of money. 247 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 2: It's better to stay broke. 248 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 5: Now start the entrepreneurial journey while I'm still broke. And 249 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm comfortable being broke, right, I've been broke, 250 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 5: so like, let me just start now. If I'm gonna 251 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 5: be broke, be broke doing my own thing instead of 252 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 5: going somewhere getting comfortable, upgrading my lifestyle and then trying 253 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 5: to find a way out of it. So that was 254 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 5: kind of my strategy. So I started my law practice 255 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 5: and it was so interesting. Literally within six months, I 256 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 5: was getting a lot of press, Like it was just 257 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 5: like I was an anomaly, you know, like being a 258 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 5: young lawyer right out of law school. People don't just 259 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: go solo out of law school. You're supposed to pay 260 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 5: your dues, work at a law firm, be trained by 261 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 5: partner over a long period of time, then you can go. 262 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: So then you have permission. And I just did it. 263 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: And I did it with my afro and not you know, 264 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: not wearing the suits. And it was interesting. 265 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 5: It like attracted so many people to me because it 266 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 5: was just different. People were looking for a lawyer that 267 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 5: looked like them, that they felt comfortable talking to, that 268 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 5: explained it to them in plain English, that didn't act 269 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 5: like they were better than them, and so I was like, Okay, 270 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 5: I'm onto something here. And I think that's when I 271 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 5: first figured out that just being myself was enough, and 272 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 5: actually the more I was myself, the more it actually 273 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 5: attracted people to me. 274 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 275 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts.
