First off, let me apologize if my cursing offends. There are times when a vulgar word is needed to emphasize the point of a statement and "Forget a Mentor" just did not have the same ring lol. I recorded this video, F*** a Mentor, because I see so many entrepreneurs that are stuck in their business then have the thoughts that a mentor is going to sprinkle some magic dust and everything will skyrocket. I wasted a lot of time over the years waiting on a mentor, searching for a mentor, and claiming mentors. Trust me when I say I know the value of TRUE mentoring. Everyone is not qualified nor equipped to be your mentor. Put in the work and your real mentor will find you. "Mentoring is who you are as much as what you do." John C. Maxwell Questions to consider. 1. Does your mentor see you as a top priority? 2. Did you and your mentor develop a relationship before starting the mentor/ student relationship? 3.

“Arrogant” is one of the few labels that was used to describe me over the last 37 years and 8 months. I never thought of myself as arrogant, conceited, or cocky even though most people would tell you I was. Truth be told; growing up I never had much of a high self esteem until I realized that what other people thought of me did not matter. At that point I began to focus on my dreams and goals then life began to open up for me.

To be able to accept the fact that You Are Greatness you will have to accept the fact that you are Slightly Arrogant! I dare you to Stand In Your Greatness for all of 2018! Muhammad Ali was famously quoted saying “I said I was the Greatest even before I knew I was”! That’s the mentality we need to embrace. Quick Lesson: Your MENTALITY creates your reality M
Did I mention that I hated Fort Valley? Not that Fort Valley was a bad place but I never fit in. I did not have a lot of friends growing up. I was light skin with a cleft chin and my middle name was Lopez, so I was always asked if I was Mexican. This was a small town in the south, so everyone was either black or white. I was too light skin for some people and too dark for the other people. I did not have birthday parties or sleepovers. The only sport that my Gram would allow me to play until I got to Jr. High was baseball. I was sheltered and a frankly I was a cry baby all through elementary school. I was starting 6th grade which in Fort Valley was a part of Jr. High School. This was a rough year for your boy! My first day I remember thinking damn these some big ass kids. I swear that entire 8th grade class was all on steroids. I am talking about the girls too. I was this quiet awkward kid trying to be cool, but I had no swagger at all. Gram would not let me play footb
