F*** A Mentor

Image
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...

WOW These "Coaches"

Image
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  

Focus In The 4th Quarter

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...

It's Not About The Money

Image
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! Let's be great today! 1 Down!  Tips On Writing Your Vision When describing your goals, project five to ten years into the future Dream Big and Focus on Success Use th...

Would You Roast Your Grandmother?

  Question of the day: Would you roast your Grandmother? I had the daunting task today to give a speech roasting my grandmother!  Honestly, it wasn't that difficult since my Gram has given me a lifetime of hilarious situations.  Gram is 83 years young and still bossing me around lol!  I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.  If you are blessed enough to have your grandparents in your life please cherish every moment.  Check out my roast of Foustine Childs aka Gram. Let's be great today! 1 Down!

Parents + Good Coaches = Success

Why People Fail to Understand Others “Lack of understanding concerning others is s recurrent source of tension in our society.  I once heard an attorney say, “Half of all the controversies and conflicts that arise among people are caused not by differences of opinion or an inability to agree, but by the lack of understanding of one another.” If we could reduce the number of misunderstandings, the courts wouldn’t be as crowded, there would be fewer violent creimes, the divorce rate would go down, and the amount of everyday stress most people experience would drop dramatically.” John C. Maxwell A Short Course in Human Relations The least important word: I The most important word: We The two most important words: Thank you. The three most important words: All is forgiven. The four most important words: What is your opinion? The five most important words: You did a good job! The six most important words: I want to understand you better. ...

Super TLC's Social Media Tips

Image
Where is your Audience? One of my favorite quotes is "Go where you are celebrated not tolerated".  This holds true when it comes to you marketing on social media.  There are several social media platforms and most entrepreneurs have a Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts.  You have to determine which platform is going to help you produce results! Monitor and Evolve There is only one point in marketing your business and that's to generate leads!  Social media can give you a false impression because you may get a lot of "likes" but if you are not converting those "likes" into leads then your marketing is not working.  Keep track of what gets you leads.  If it doesn't generate leads then it is time to change it.   Share Don't Sell This is a simple yet seldom used concept.  No one likes to be sold.  Share value then allow people to make a decision! "People are in such a hurry to launch their product or business th...

Don't You Dare Lose Faith!

We all have become witnesses to a terrible tragedy in Charleston, SC.  It is a scary feeling that a place of worship was attacked is such a viscous way.  I was enraged when I saw the news about this obvious sick person filled with hate walking into a church and taking the lives of 9 innocent people.  I could never imagine losing a loved one in that manner.  I kept thinking about the hurt and the pain everyone in that community must feel right now.  It brought tears to my eyes; when I saw 19 year old Chris Singleton, whose mother was one of the 9 people murdered, standing with his teammates and coaches from the Charleston Southern University baseball team say "I Forgive You". Faith gives you to strength to forgive.  Forgiveness is a powerful feeling not for the person you are forgiving but for yourself.  Let's be great today!  Let's have the Faith of Chris Singleton today! "Love is ALWAYS stronger than hate." Chris Singl...

Do You Have Rich Habits?

Wealth Mentality vs Poor Mentality 72% of the wealthy know their credit score vs. 5% of the poor 63% of the wealthy spend less than 1 hour per day on recreational Internet use vs. 26% of the poor 79% of the wealthy believe they are responsible for their financial condition vs. 18% of the poor Rich Habits to Teach Kids Require that children to read one to two educational books a month. Require that children set monthly, annual and 5-year goals. Require children to aerobically exercise 20 – 30 minutes a day. Require that children save at least 25% of their earnings or gifts they receive. "The fact is the poor are poor because they have too many Poverty Habits and too few Rich Habits. Poor parents teach their children the Poverty Habits and wealthy parents teach their children the Rich Habits. We don’t have a wealth gap in this country we have a parent gap. We don’t have income inequality, we have parent inequality."  Thomas Corley Did This H...
