There was a time when I thought wealth was all about making more money. More sales. More customers. More growth. And while I still believe there’s nothing wrong with wanting more, I’ve realized that what I want today looks very different from what I wanted when I first started. Recently, my wife and I were […]

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog. Last week, I decided to finally put it back on my schedule for today, and honestly, I missed it more than I realized. Phase one of building a brand from the ground up took a lot out of me, especially the back end of it. Systems. […]

There will be days when you just wanna give up, and I’m no stranger to this. You might find yourself sitting in a Starbucks, working on the thing you know could change your life and serve people at a high level. It could be one of those days where you woke up feeling amazing. The […]

Conviction is what gets your attention. Correction is what changes your direction. It’s one thing to feel inspired by someone else’s discipline,  It’s another thing to let that inspiration expose what needs to change in you. That’s when proximity becomes more than motivating. It becomes refining. I’ve had to check my own pride. I’ve had […]

I wanna be around people who convict me, not by talking, but by how they live. Their DISCIPLINE. Their CONSISTENCY. Their DRIVE. Their FAITH. Their MINDSET. The kind that makes you CHECK YOURSELF.

If negative thought was […]

I find myself back in Atlanta, sipping my coffee like I usually do, sitting out on the patio. Today is one of those days where I’ve been longing for that cool breeze in Los Angeles, California. Sometimes it’s hard to believe I grew up here in Georgia, this humidity doesn’t make any sense. OK, I’m […]

There are times when I’m grinding hard on a project, late nights, head down, putting in the work. And when I finally finish, I’ll look at it and think, Man, I’m proud of this. Other times I’m soaking up knowledge , reading books, listening to podcasts, watching mentors and coaches I respect. And if I’m […]

I’m not really talking about entrepreneurship today. This is one of those real-life blogs, just based on a conversation my wife and I had recently. We’ve been together over 30 years, so we’ve had a lot of associates, and a few real friends , come in and out of our lives. That conversation made me […]

I remember like it was yesterday. I was sitting in my warehouse, scrolling through Instagram, just looking at shelves stacked with folded tees , and then this new Pharrell and Jay-Z song called Entrepreneur came on. The line that stopped me in my tracks was: “If you can’t buy the building, at least stock the […]
