In life and business you have to be discerning about who you let in your orbit. You’re taught from an early age who and who not to trust. For some people, as you get into business, it’s easy to want to befriend everyone. But you quickly learn based on how high you fly who’s there for you, who’s not, and who’s just there for access. You have to be d…

Being a CEO is a privilege as much as it is a responsibility. People often conflate "business owner" with "CEO.

I'm here to help you transition into a full CEO. And when you do, there's a …

Building wealth isn't just about having money. There are stages you must go through in order to reach true wealth.

What sacrifices are you going to have to make? What education, skills or trai…
 
When you're a successful entrepreneur, you're on top of the world. But often times, there's an ego thing that comes with it that can affect your relationship if it wasn't already solid.

Things change. People change. Situations change. As a business owner, you should never remain stagnant. Growth is integral to success.

Not necessarily in a bad way though. Well you shouldn’t let that s…
 
Most of my life I relied on me. I didn't ask because people didn't offer. I was raised to never ask anyone for anything. And somehow, I became the person everyone went to to ask for advice, favors, help. I gave so much because I never wanted people to feel like I was untouchable. I had not yet learned boundaries. Because I had few boundaries, peopl…

In the beginning, it may look like you’re saving money by hiring a contractor. But over time, contractors cost way more than employees. There’s a mindset that hiring a contractor will save money.

Networking CAN'T be business as usual. A lot of people are caught up in Facebook Groups, Linked In Groups, etc, and experiencing that as "real networking". It's not. Not 100% anyway.

Some people are thinking about raising their prices but are afraid to abandon the people that have always ridden for them.

In the final analysis, good will is not going to pay th…

They always say "Network Up". But everybody isn't always ready or in position to do that. Some folks are about to be mad at me, but this won't be the first or last time. This is a timely conversation. We ALL have to start somewhere. In my early days, I had to jump out and learn how to network the old fashioned way. Going to events, mixers and meeti…

I've always felt if real estate investors can get creative financing, business owners can offer creative compensation packages. There was a time when companies would predominantly offer commission based roles to their sales teams. A lot of people loved this because it was mostly uncapped earning potential. If there were high ticket items being sold…
 
In many Black & Brown communities, estate planning was not something we talked about as we were growing up. I mean, in MY family, estate planning was never a topic of conversation at the dinner table. None of my friends families were talking about it either. But my generation Gen Xers are talking about it. I started talking to my son about it when …

Not everyone is at the same level in business. Some people are content with 6 figures, and that's OK for them. If you are them, this episode isn't for you.

Make That Money! That's a long time mantra for any entrepreneur. But at what point do we go from thinking about sales and profits, to what we do with all of that profit?

Ladies look. Can we have some real talk here? We don’t start a business to create a JOB for ourselves. We create opportunities and provide solutions for our clients.

Whether you’re starting a company or knee-deep in one, EVERYONE needs an exit strategy.

But I’m here to tell you that no matter where you are on the scale, you should always be thinking of your exit. Whether that looks like sell…
 
Ownership is so important. In a previous episode you heard me talk about compete ownership from content all the way down to the raw manufacturing.
