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...

52 Week Money Challenge    

Can you believe there are 58 days left in 2015!?!  Seriously, the older I get the faster the year goes by!  In my preparation for 2016 one thing that I feel that was missing in 2015 were serious accountability partners.  The old adage “birds of a feather flock together” comes to mind when I think my most successful times in life.  In my former football life I was surrounded by my teammates and pushed by my coaches to achieve championship success.  In my entrepreneurship career I’ve had the privilege to have great business partners that pushed me to become a better leader and mentors that were examples of great businessmen.  From both of those experiences I learned how to create consistent habits that helped me achieve the goals I set.  A tool that I have put together to help me and hopefully you with finishing your 2015 goals and preparing for your 2016 goals is the 1Down 21 Day Challenge!  How many times have you seen or heard pe...

Lets talk about the abundance of the Universe!!!  We have all heard phrases like "speak your dreams to the universe", "the secret", or "the universe is full of abundance".  I feel that all these statements are true but most people think of the Universe as the lottery.  The universe responds to natural actions that are deeply believed by your subconscious. It's time to focus on exactly what you want.  It's time to HUSTLE! H.U.S.T.L.E. H = Hero U = Universe S = Servant Leadership T = Think L = Legendary E = Entrepreneurship There are a lot motivational speakers, coaches, bloggers, etc out there.  Anyone can read books and regurgitate memorized quotes but my goal is to actually train and teach .  I have broken down each segment into separate videos and will be uploading them over the next week.  The second video below is my training on the Universe.  I hope you learn at least 1 thing from...

This past year I had a several great opportunity to speak at high schools here in Atlanta.  As a former teacher I knew that I had to come up with some material that will first get their attention and secondly keep their attention.  I toiled over ideas for a few weeks and finally developed the acronym H.U.S.T.L.E. "The American Dream".  I wanted to provide my audience with some useful tips that most people never really think about.  H.U.S.T.L.E.

I just received the best compliment that someone could give me right now!  A high school classmate sent me a Facebook message ending it with "You are not the person I use to know". If you knew me from back in the day you can probably co-sign with her statement lol.   So many people are held back back by insecurities, self doubt, lack of faith, or simply their past!  Release the past and hold on to the vision you have of where you are going.  Who do you have to become to achieve greatness?!  In today's Leader of Leaders video I am speaking on The Law of the Mirror. Lets be great today! 1 Down! 

Happy first day of October to you!  I wanted to send out a quick message for my friends that may be going through a challenging time in there life.  Whatever P.A.I.N. you maybe going through remember that it is only temporary.  Embrace the P.A.I.N. and allow it to push you to your passion.  As the book of life says "this too shall pass". P = Passion : What drives you? What motivates you? What inspires you? A = Action : Take massive action towards your dreams and goals I = Inspired : Stay Inspired. Put yourself on a daily personal development routine N = Never, Never, Never, Never Quit Remind yourself that "No matter how bad it is or how bad it gets....I AM GOING TO MAKE IT"!    In today's Leader of Leaders video I am speaking on having power when you have nothing to lose! Let's be great today! 1 Down!  Did This Help You? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you would forward to your friends and share on Facebook or...

I am utterly disgusted with how some of these so called "coaches" are being terrible examples to our youth. Parents stay involved with your kids and sports. Don't get me wrong I know that majority of coaches are doing a great job. You all deserve the upmost credit. But there are some coaches that truly disgust me. www.IamSuperTLC.biz  

If you haven't realized; it is the best time of the year!  It is FOOTBALL SEASON!  One challenge that I took on in 2015 is to become a football referee.  It is week 5 here in Georgia and I am starting to enjoy officiating football.  Watching the kids in high school play reminds me of my days at THE Peach County High School with my brother Randy McMichael, best friends Louis Ivory, DJ Starling, Nekeyma Wright and many more.  We take football very serious here in the state of Georgia.  Friday nights should be considered national holidays and the stadiums are hallowed grounds where champions are made.  One thing we were taught at THE Peach County High School is 48 Minutes of Black Hat in the Mouth.  We were going to fight for 48 full minutes.  It did not matter what the score was or what challenges we faced. For 48 minutes the other team would know that they had played the Mighty Trojans.  That is the same a...

  I had to ask my family a friends this serious question today!  Do you believe in affirmations?  I know that I am a firm believer in setting goals, writing the vision, and speaking life.  However, my downfall comes with inconsistency. I've had a hard time holding myself accountable to really focusing on my goals and speaking affirmations consistently.  Fortunately I was shown a great tool to help any of us focus on our affirmations and goals daily.  This tool is the Obsessed With Success Affirmation conference call.  I first listened to this call this past Friday and I have been hooked since.  If you are looking to start your day off with a group of like minded individuals pursuing their dreams and goals dial in on the weekdays at 7:30 am and weekends at 9:00 am eastern (641) 715-3200 pin 656202#.  I promise I'm not trying to recruit you lol!  This call has been a blessing to m...

Happy Hump Day! Have you ever taken a job or pursued a business venture simply for the money?  I know as an entrepreneur that I am always calculating money in my head.  Whenever I go to a club or a lounge I often find myself looking around trying to figure out the capacity and how much each table is bringing in. I know money is vital to EVERYTHING so I am not trying to downplay the importance of having money; but one of the biggest mistakes I've made as a entrepreneur is forgetting the vision I had for myself to chase money.  Every time I've simply gone after money those were the times when I wasn't success.   In today's Leader of Leaders video I am speaking on why along your journey to the top it's really not about the money!

My dapper Grandfather Willard Carter I was pondering on the question; do you know how Poweful Your Name is? I think along the way some people tend to forget that their name carries with it a responsibility not only to themselves but to their family and in some cases close friends.  Your name was given to you by your parents. Take pride and represent your Name!    The Law of the Mirror One of my favorite books is the  15 Invaluable Laws of Growth  by  John C. Maxwell .  Below are a couple of tips to help you take pride in your name.

Do you have a fear of public speaking or are you an introverted person; like me? These three quick tips will help! Watch the short video below to learn how to prepare to give a speech that will blow your audience away. Glossophobia I did not know there was an actual term that defines the fear of public speaking as a phobia. People who suffer from glossophobia tend to freeze up in front of an audience, some may find their mouth becomes dry, some voice will get weak, and other’s body will shake. Statistics show that nearly 75% of people suffer from glossophobia. Why Do You Need to Face Your Fear? Many people would like to advance in their careers or take their entrepreneurial ventures to a higher level but the inability to stand in front of a room of people is holding them back.
