Funny story, well, at least to me. Imagine a guy sitting at a bus stop with a 17-inch wheel and rim still attached, flat tire and all. Right next to the bus stop, you see his car jacked up. Now, you have to consider a few things here: Maybe he didn’t have AAA. Maybe he […]

As an entrepreneur, you should get comfortable with the word maratho, because that’s what this journey is: a marathon race. But it’s not a race built on speed; it’s built on persistence. Every now and then, when we’re building our skill set and aiming toward a clear goal, it’s easy to get fixated on one […]

One of the women I’m mentoring said something recently that hit me in the gut, in a good way. Right after our coaching session, I sent her a 60-day content plan tailored specifically for her brand, her voice, and her goals. It wasn’t just a one-size-fits-all strategy. It was built for her. She felt good […]

As an entrepreneur, I love anything that makes my job easier, saves me time, and boosts my productivity. If you’re anything like me, you’re not washing the car when you can go through the car wash. You’re not ironing clothes if you can drop them off at the cleaners, and you’re definitely not hand-washing dishes […]

I was checking in on a good friend of mine, Dolly. If you’ve read any of my blogs, you’ve probably heard me talk about her before. Sometimes we fall out of touch for a bit, but I’ve been trying to get back to at least a weekly check-in. Life moves fast. And it’s easy to […]

We’ve all heard the term “self-made.” Self-made millionaire. Self-made success story. And to be honest, we love that idea. It makes us think someone pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and built something from nothing. They made it happen—no handouts, no shortcuts. But let’s be real: Is that even true? Can any of us really […]

Every day I wake up and ask myself: What should I learn today? What book should I be reading? Where am I right now in my journey, and where am I going next? See, I’ve been in the building phase for a while, and I love the building phase. It’s exciting. When I was younger, […]

Is it possible to be omnipresent? You guys know I’m a believer and an entrepreneur, so I’ll be honest, I cringed even typing that word into the title. Why? Because only God is omnipresent. He’s the only one who is everywhere at all times, who knows all things, who sees all things. That’s not up […]

So many things run through my mind daily that I have to brain dump, over and over again. One of my best companions for that process? ChatGPT. The goal is simple: use AI as an assistant, not a crutch. It’s here to make us faster, better, and more efficient, not to rob us of our […]

I’m sitting on my cousin’s porch in Stonecrest, close to where they’re building the new Black Wall Street, an inspiring project fueling Black entrepreneurship and community growth. I’m sipping coffee and eating a few pieces of a small Hershey’s chocolate bar with almonds while listening to my new Audible book, Never Eat Alone. Every few […]
