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...

Miseducation of the Modern Negro

Image
Happy Friday Eve!!!!  It's almost TGIF.  I normally do not speak on "controversial" topics but I sat back and realized when did being a black man become "controversial".  This video titled Miseducation of the Modern Negro is my quick interpretation of  one of my favorite quotes by Dr. Carter G. Woodson.    "If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action.  When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do.  If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself.  If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door.  He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one." Carpe Diem... Seize the day!   Check out my views Miseducation of the Modern Negro below.   Lets be...

Are You Ready?

One of my favorite quotes is "We don't get what we want out of life, we get what we are".  We have to become the person that deserves our goals and dreams.  Until we become that person our dreams will never become reality. I read a passage by poet William Arthur Ward that encouraged me.  I hope it does for you too.   Believe while others are doubting. Plan while others are playing. Study while others are sleeping. Decide while others are delaying. Prepare while others are daydreaming. Begin while others are procrastinating. Work while others are wishing. Save while others are wasting. Listen while others are talking. Smile while others are frowning. Commend while others are criticizing. Persist while others are quitting. So I ask you "Are you ready?".  Carpe Diem... Seize the day!

Are You a Builder, Quitter, or Incubator

Image
I've been asking myself this serious question for the last few weeks "Am I a quitter, an incubator, or a builder?".  That can be a tough question to ask yourself as an entrepreneur because you have to look in the mirror.  Activities like writing down you goals, organizing your calendar, or buying business cards can "trick" you into thinking that you are actually building a business.  The activities that make you a business builder are the ones that generate income!  I challenge you to take a look at your daily activities and determine if they generate income or lead you in that direction.  If those activities are not moving you towards a profit then it is time to reevaluate....So I ask you "Are you a Quitter, Incubator, or Builder?".  Carpe Diem... Seize the day!   Did This Help You? If so, I really need your support!  I always say that I want to inspire just 1 person every time I speak. ...

Watch Out For Monkeys

Many people have had their dreams knocked out of them by dream crushers and idea killers.  Business professors Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad conducted a social experiment with a group of monkeys.  After watching this brief video you will understand what I mean when I say "Watch Out For Monkeys".  Leader of Leaders Episode #3 Subscribe to our mailing list
