Why 92 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: is that? Yeah, it's it's a huge part of planning 93 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: and strategic planning and getting the wisdom that we need 94 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: and keeping our goals, you know, in mind with everything 95 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: that we do, it's it's it's really just reverse engineering it. 96 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: We have these goals, we have the things we want 97 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: to see accomplish, and then you know, we have to 98 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: go back. We got to go back and start from 99 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: the beginning. You know, we gotta go back and paint 100 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: that picture and and run the play right that's important. 101 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: So with that being said, when I look at your resume, 102 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: it's so much energy, is so much pay it forward? 103 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: Is paying it forward? It's such a big part of 104 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: your career. What is what is your gift or passion 105 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: or some people make it a separation, but some people 106 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: combine them. But what is your gift for passion? You know? 107 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: I build people. I realized that, you know, I am 108 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: natural lead, someone that pushes hope um. To remind people 109 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: that they're more than what meets the eye, um. And 110 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: to to really understand how to navigate and move their life, 111 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: and to to build around their strength. You know, I 112 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: realized successful people all have weaknesses. However, it's not their focus. 113 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: They focus on the things that they're strong at. They 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: focus on the things that slow naturally through them, and 115 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: they build around those things. And they're constantly learning and 116 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: perfecting and and understanding the craft and the gift that 117 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: they have. And so for me, building people, Uh was it, 118 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, from beauty going into beauty industry From the 119 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: time I was so young, you know, I I just 120 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: knew I wanted to use my hands to make things 121 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: look better. So whether it was designing things around the house, 122 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: or doing my mother's hair or you know, whatever it was. 123 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: I just love to make things beautiful. I love to 124 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: make women feel good about themselves. And so it just streams, 125 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, grew from there. It just continued to grow. 126 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: My gifts grew from there and it turned into more 127 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: speaking life, it turned into helping women with their brands. 128 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: It's whatever it is. It's about building and building with purpose. Well, 129 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: the will continue to do it. Now. The thing about 130 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: it is that I always talking about a balance life. 131 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: And in your resume, you know, your bio is this, 132 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: this just sticks out a wife, mom to four boys 133 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: and a bonus stepdaughter. That's you know, the fact that 134 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: you have that in your bio means that's important in 135 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: your life, which means you have a sense of balance. 136 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: Talk to me about that. Yeah, absolutely, I'm telling you 137 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: that's one of the hardest jobs is motherhood and you know, 138 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: being a wife going on twenty years this year, and 139 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: it's not easy for sure that but it's again something 140 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: that is a focus. It's it's a priority. Um each 141 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: that balance is really a myth and it's something that 142 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily exist. We have to just learn how to 143 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: prioritize and read, prioritize, and including my family because I 144 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: want them to understand what entrepreneurship looks like, what legacy 145 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: living looks like, and making sure they understand what mommy 146 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: does in business and how it looks and so even 147 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: I have an event coming up. My son is in 148 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: town for spring break, so he'll be there setting up, 149 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, with dad and them seeing what that looks 150 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: like when we we build something out that other people 151 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: can come and make a transaction like giving you money 152 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: to do what it is that you do. I want 153 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: them to see what that looks like. I don't want 154 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: them to hear about it. So they're very much included 155 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: in in our lifestyle. I don't want them to feel like, 156 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, entrepreneurship is something that is so hard and 157 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: and difficult to do, and and I want them to 158 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: be able to understand that they were born into it 159 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: and it's in their blood, it's in their veins, and 160 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: that they can create and dominate. Well, that's important to me. 161 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: You know. I think that I'm writing a book is 162 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: going to come out in January next year, and I 163 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: talked about mentorship. That's what you're talking about, having people 164 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: around you pushing confidence pushing opportunity, pushing the belief that 165 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: you that that a dream can become a reality. And 166 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: I remember when I was fifteen years old, Um, you 167 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: know my first job that my father, he was a 168 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: truck driver, that's what he did for it, that was 169 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: his career. My first job he gave me a fifteen 170 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: was I was unloading trucks, you know, And so those 171 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: are my as far as male figures, that was my 172 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: first level of male figures outside of my dad or 173 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: my school teachers. And uh, they so put an impression 174 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: on me, you know, unloading boxes and forklift driving. That 175 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: when I got out of high school, that's all I 176 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: wanted to be. I wanted to be a forkliff driver. 177 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: And guess what, I got a job as a forklift driver. 178 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: And so despite the academics, and I eventually just snapped 179 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: and got right and went to college and my degrees 180 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: and and not not saying that there was nothing bad 181 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: about me making that charge, but sometimes we can settle 182 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: based on our environment because we don't see nobody's offering 183 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: us the opportunity to be more than that that dream 184 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: that we've that we first encountered, and that's all you're saying, 185 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: and so I I was. I was so affected by that, 186 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: despite people telling me you can be more, despite people 187 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: telling me you can go to college, I just knew 188 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: there was a path that I understood, and these guys 189 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: told me it was living in such a great life 190 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: living it. I said, what's wrong with that? Let me 191 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: go do it. Even though I was capable of doing more, 192 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: I was capable of affecting the world more. And I 193 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,239 Speaker 1: eventually got my degree in mathematics with my minders and sociology, 194 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: because if we are surrounded by people who don't push us, 195 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: don't challenge us, don't let us know that, let us 196 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: understand that hard work comes with effort, and if it 197 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: comes with being consistent and consistently create relationships that can 198 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: expand alone, that's your whole game of brand strategy, that's 199 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: your whole game of marketing. Correct Absolutely, exposure is key, 200 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: um connectivity is key, authenticity is key. All all of 201 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: those things really play a role and being able to 202 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: build a brand that can transcend for generations. And it 203 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: comes down to that right there. And I love what 204 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: you talked about that representation and what we have in 205 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: our life, and so we we do tend to have 206 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: limited beliefs based on what what we've seen growing up 207 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: and the things that we have experienced in life, and 208 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: so exposure again is key in order for there to 209 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: be changed, like you know, in our mind and how 210 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: we think and what we believe UM we are allowed 211 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: to experience or walk into or the type of success 212 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: that we are allowed to have in order for our 213 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: brain to even comprehend that, it needs to be exposed 214 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: to new information. There can be no change without new information, 215 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: without new data about in putting something new and so 216 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: pushing that UM for me is just so key. You know, 217 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: we have a mentorship program. We have a nonprofit on 218 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: where we focus on young entrepreneurs from seventeen to twenty two, 219 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: I was sixteen, graduating high school, going right into entrepreneurship 220 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: without any mentors. And and that I'm really doing that 221 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: to to cater to that that young girl just like 222 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: me that says I know there's more for me. I 223 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: just don't know how to do it. I'm so talented, 224 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: I'm so gifted, but I just don't know how do 225 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: I set up, you know, systems. I talk about having 226 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: the ability of having a brand and not having a 227 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: business and that's what we see. We see so many 228 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: people that are popular, so many people that have a 229 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: fan base, and they don't know how to monetize it. 230 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: I work with influencers that they can't get a T 231 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: shirt off the ground. It's like, you know, so understanding. 232 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: It's they can have millions of followers and zero dollars, 233 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: and so the under standing how to set up a business, 234 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: how to monetize your gifts and your talent, having the 235 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: mentorship and coaching, it's key. Exposure is key. Well, you know, 236 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: the thing about it is that when I look at 237 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: your the thing about that just I love about you 238 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: is that you don't mind letting everybody knows your your 239 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: journey has not always been up there. And I think 240 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: it's important to show flaws because I think people listen 241 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: better when you're willing to admit your flaws. Because you 242 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: talk about lost four homes, three cars to businesses and 243 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: was forced to move in with family after two years, 244 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: rebuilt your business as a brand creator and business coach. 245 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: When you were when those losses were one down then 246 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: to down? What what was your support system? What kept 247 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: your float emotionally? Where was that support system that helped 248 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: you out oh that my my faith and my husband. 249 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was like us against the 250 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: world at that point, you know, and just really staying 251 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: focused on our belief in God and that if he 252 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: did it before we were so young and experiencing success, 253 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: I truly believe before we really comprehend, you know, where 254 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: we were and really had a full understanding of what 255 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: we had in our hands at the time. And so 256 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: I kind of think that we just it happened so quickly, 257 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: so fast, you could almost compare it to the lot 258 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: of you know, It's almost if our intellect and the 259 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: things that we we, what we know now and what 260 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: we knew, then things would have gone so totally different. 261 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: And so I have no regrets about it. But what 262 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: truly kept us was our our confessions, our now There 263 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: were times that I ain't want to talk to him, 264 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: and I am like, it's not to not get out 265 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: my face. Every day. Wasn't just you know, quoting scriptures 266 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: and praying there shut up. Had to straight up shut 267 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: up some days because I just knew I was so upset, 268 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: I was so disappointed, I was so hurt to be 269 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: in that financial state. But I also knew it was temporary. 270 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: And and though it took us years to recover. Though 271 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: it took us time um to put things back into position, 272 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: because we we looked at it and said, we got 273 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: away from some of the things we we believed in. 274 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: We took on way too much that we were house 275 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: rich and cash poor, and so we we took on 276 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: way too much over our heads with it and living 277 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: this lifestyle and being the top givers out our church 278 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: and people were able to use cars. We have folks 279 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: living with us. We had people living in our properties 280 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: that couldn't. We we treated it almost like a charity. 281 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: We didn't understand how to truly value and run it 282 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: like a business because the ultimate reason we had all 283 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: those properties because we had a property management company, and 284 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: so we we didn't fully understand in our mid twenties 285 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: how to run that the right way. So it seems 286 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: like my entire, you know, ten fifteen years of my 287 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: life pre marriage and post marriage was just a whole 288 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: life learning school of the hard.

They have 365 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: their business report come out and the numbers were astounded. 366 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: We're leading as it comes to minority women with starting businesses, 367 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: but we're also leading with failing in business and having 368 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: the lowest revenue generating firms, and that needs to be addressed. 369 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: And so I come back to understanding our our plans, 370 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: understanding finances, understanding marketing, understanding branding, understanding connectivity, and finding 371 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: your ideal customers. And then we go into the latter 372 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: part of the day, which is hands on, where we 373 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: are building out sales funnels for our v i p 374 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: s and showing them how to use it and build 375 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: their email marketing list to continue to what we call 376 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: modern day you know, door knocking UM getting that those 377 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: email lists together. Just in case social media cut a 378 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: monkey and you can't get access or something happens to 379 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: Facebook and Instagram, you still have access to the people 380 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: UM via your email list. So we're really diving in 381 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: on how to I'm such a teacher and I said, 382 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: I like to push hope, I like to inspire people, 383 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: but I really want to make sure they get it, 384 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: that they are educated and understand how to implement these 385 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: strategies once they leave. And that's the entire focus our 386 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: keynote Monique Rodriguez, who over the last three years, you 387 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: she went from her garage to every major retailer you 388 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: can think of, and she spoke at our Chicago pop 389 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: up um last year and she's absolutely killing it right 390 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: now in the hair care industry and business. So we 391 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: really just are going to dive in on what that 392 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: looks like, how do you get into targets? What are 393 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: the steps to doing that? How to make sure that 394 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: your your documentation, everything that you need is on point. 395 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: And financially, what do you need to have when you're 396 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: purchasing retail space for you know, for your products. And 397 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: so we're just gonna die when I say we're going 398 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: all the way in, we're going all the way is well, 399 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: it's important because here's the thing is that we all 400 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: want success. Uh, there's some reason that you know, there 401 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: are certain techniques to get in there. Some people are 402 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: naturally gifted at Now you're you're you're you're gifted at 403 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: this what you're doing. You know, that's a gift. And 404 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: I always tell people, uh, you know two plus two, 405 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: it's for for everybody. So it's something you can learn, 406 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: you know, something you can master. It's the effort that 407 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: makes you successful at it. And when I hear you 408 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: talk about all these deep dives, these seminars and bringing 409 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: in these experts or you know, they're they're gonna tell 410 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: you about their journey, and their journey is gonna have 411 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: up and down and up and down. They're gonna have haters, 412 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have people, even their relatives, are gonna 413 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: tell them you're crazy. You know, people you love gonna 414 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: tell you that you're crazy, even in your your your 415 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: kids might even question you and your efforts to make 416 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: a change in your life. Because that's what happens is 417 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: I always tell people, the worst thing in the world 418 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: is to ask a person for advice who doesn't even 419 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. So you gotta and that's 420 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: what people make the biggest mistake. I remember when I 421 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: was I was working at IBM, and I went and told, 422 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, my relatives and everybody, I was gonna quit 423 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: to be a stand up comic. You're funny all but 424 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: look I be him. See, I'm talking to people who 425 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: had no I had no business talking to these people. 426 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: I could care less of what they thought about be 427 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: leaving IBM, but you know, I value their opinion. And 428 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: guess what, not one of them saying anything that I 429 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: used back there or today because they didn't know what 430 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: I was talking about. They didn't understand the entertainment industry. 431 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: I knew there were gonna be some problems. I knew 432 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: I was gonna jump out there and meet and b 433 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy I'm still not in the Murphy, but that 434 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean I'm not successful. I went from being a 435 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: stand up, I went from a writer. I went from 436 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: a producer to a manager of talent. Now I'm marketing 437 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: any branding expert. All those things. I had to have 438 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: a certain amount of effort to understand that, you know 439 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: some reason, this is where you need to go. This 440 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: is what I like about when I listened to you, 441 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: when I listened to your story. Why I bring you 442 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: on this show because you understand a closed door does 443 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: not mean you can't open it.

What? 453 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: One of the things that I think is so key 454 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: and I'm so horrible at suiting my own horn. Thank 455 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: you I'm usually I'm so big on talking up other people. 456 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: But one of the things I will definitely say is 457 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: I'm a fighter. I'm a fighter. I don't take no 458 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: for an answer. In fact, no means game on. It's 459 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: almost like the opposite. It means game on you you're 460 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: saying though, so that means no for you, You're not 461 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: the one you know.

But when it comes to my doctors 466 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: that I go to, I make sure I'm make giving 467 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: business to people that look like me. I'm making sure 468 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: I'm giving business to families and people that I know 469 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: are gonna continue to give further, give on more, continue 470 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: to pay it forward.

There you go, see, I'm signing up now, 496 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: no hype, Elaborate, create and dominate. That's it. You deliver 497 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: the facts information like the one of you know what 498 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: you said, nearly all women owned firms in the US 499 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: is accounted for by a minority woman. Yeah, why don't 500 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: we know that? Is that? Is that suppressed information? Is that? 501 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: You know? I think it's just one of the things 502 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: that we have to get accustomed to in our community. 503 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: We have to get accustomed to looking at the bottom line. 504 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: Like we have a lot of people that that like 505 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: to talk and like to throw things out there, but 506 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: when we say it's time for change and then there's 507 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: work that has to be put in, very few show 508 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: up for the actual work. And so we just got 509 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: to get to a place to where we live it 510 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: the like we were walking, like we're talking, you know 511 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it just has to come down 512 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: to that, and that's what I'm interested in. I realized 513 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: people love the hype. I realized they love the noise 514 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: sometimes with Sean, they love doing it for the Graham, 515 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: they loved doing it for the light, camera and action. 516 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: But when it comes down to the work, they think 517 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: it's a cup word. They act like it's a straight 518 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: cup word. And so I feel like we're not doing 519 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: a good job of painting the picture of what entrepreneurship 520 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: looks like, of what work looks like, what mental strength? 521 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: I talked about the M factor in my book Brands 522 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: to Books and in Brand to Bucks I talk about 523 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: what is required before you even go further in my book, 524 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: there are things that you need to understand. One is 525 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: what you have, your brand, your your product, your service? 526 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: Is is are people drawn to it? It's magnetism? Is 527 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: the first m. Are people even attracted to it? Do 528 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: they even want it? Do they? Are they hunting you 529 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: down for it? The next thing is manpower. Are you 530 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: even able to get people drawn to your team? Are 531 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: you able to get people to buy in to your 532 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: vision and your dream? How well are you communicating that? 533 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: How well are you placing your vision out there? Is 534 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: it written so clearly that men can take it and 535 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: run with it like the word says? Then the next 536 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: thing is money. How much is it gonna take? Have 537 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: you counted up the cost? Do you understand what is 538 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: required to do this? And the next thing from that 539 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: is then the mental strength? Do you have what it 540 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: takes to mentally walk out to to to hear no constantly? 541 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: Are you able to handle rejection? Are you able to 542 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: hand know people doubting you are you able all the 543 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: things we just talked about on this call. Are you 544 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: able to mentally handle it? You know how many successful 545 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: people turn around and commit suicide. They cannot take it. 546 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: They're dealing with depression there and their emotional intelligence is 547 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: at an all time low. What does that look like? 548 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: Before you go forward and launch anything, I want you 549 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: to ask yourselves these questions. Do you have the M factor? Girl? 550 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: You're doing it. You're doing it now. I didn't woke 551 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: up now, I didn't woke the CEO check up. I 552 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: was sit back, I had my pillow out, have my 553 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,239 Speaker 1: legs up on the stood because the show is yo. 554 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that's why I created my main conversation. Well, 555 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: first I am on the phone here with celebrity beauty 556 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: brand expert, you know, twenty years of experience and she 557 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: she mentor she motivated. Well, she just heard motivation. She's 558 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: an author. She mentioned a book twenty years of Experience 559 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: and so, and she has a program coming out. Uh. 560 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say the crash course because I guess what 561 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: this is something that you you should be involved in 562 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: on a regular basis. But there's as National Women's mom 563 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: Moth of March, and she's done this program and she's 564 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: done it before, and that's the CEO Chicks Institute is 565 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: designed to mentor female entrepreneurs from seventeen to twenty two, 566 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: giving them information and tools to win in the marketplace, 567 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: getting them that early. I always tell people that, you know, 568 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: I talk about people using age as an excuse they 569 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: should not. I tell people when you when you authority, 570 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: that means that you have you just getting started. Fifty 571 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: means that you're ramping up. Sixty means that are you're 572 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: about to explode with opportunities because you hadn't given them. 573 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: There's no finish line in your opportunity. But I always 574 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: tell people this, if you if you if you're trying 575 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: to define your life on the job, resume that you're 576 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: currently working on. Stop. Go back to your seventeen eighteen, 577 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: early twenties when you had a passion and you had 578 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: dreams before somebody interfered with it. When I said interfered 579 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: that we never told you you couldn't do that. That 580 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: then make sense for you. Or you got married your 581 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: day to somebody who shifted you in a different direction 582 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: than have the passion of the dreams that you had 583 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: or you have some kids, you have gotten the debt, 584 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: or you joined the military, you moved out of state, 585 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: going back to that era when they meant something to you, 586 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: when you had these dreams that were unbelievable. That's why 587 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: I love the fact that you're talking about entrepreneurs, female 588 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: entrepreneurs between the ages of seventeen twenty two. Because see 589 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: those people right there who sit down, they are dreamers, 590 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: they are people. They the world no doesn't mean anything 591 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: to them. They can't even see forty years. They can't 592 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: see fifty. That's so far away from the fifty fifty. 593 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm seventeen. I can't even count that high. So you're 594 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: sitting down with people who are trying to be successful 595 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: right now, and see my generation go to college, get mad, 596 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: you know, playing for a time.
