Now is not the time to allow fear to hold you back, you have to slash your goals off your list before the anxiety sets in and paralyzes you
Your character, your mindset, your actions and reactions are all elements to the construction of the world you want to live in.
Right now it feels like you are being stretched, pulled, and tested in every way. It is important that you do not let go of your faith because the reward is coming. Sooner than you think.
You're not wasting your time, but you can shift the energy with the time you have and the results will certainly change course for you.
, last year. Your faith needs some maintenance if you want things to change now and not later.
In the new year, new season, whatever marks the next chapter in YOUR life...allow the fact that you survived the bad days to propel you into a strong momentum that cannot be stopped
There is nothing sexy about the arts, humanities, or any grassroots enterprise. But the success is obtainable and worth it nonetheless.
What you are doing doesn't make sense....to most, but it makes ALL the sense to you and that is why you will reap a harvest in due time.
Today is December 3rd and winter has settled in. It may not be December when you listen to this but it may be cold in your life and your progress may appear to be frozen. This episode is a reminder that it is time for you to give YOURSELF some flowers- then things will warm up for you.
With no relief in sight and you have done all you can do...it's ok to shut down for a while, but don't abandon the reason why you started.
You want to bring people with you to the top, but you just can't. Some people-and things- have to be left in the lobby.
Men lie, women lie, even credit scores don't tell the full truth...but reviews and word of mouth NEVER lie. So let's continue to build better, bigger brands
Just because the world around you is shutting down doesn't mean YOUR world has to shut down also.
The deeper you are connected to your roots then the stronger your desire will be. Which means your WILL to achieve it will NEVER be broken. No matter what.
You can HOPE for certain achievements, but that hope is hollow without intention in your actions.
There is a time for everything. A time for scarcity and a time for abundance, but through it all the one constant variable is YOU! And how YOU show up until that windfall comes.
Everything going wrong all at once and now you hear voices in the back of your head telling you; "Just quit" "It's not worth it" "This isn't going to work"....that's no coincidence and you must ignore them by any means necessary
Never forget the words you declared over your life years ago, and never forget who placed those words onto your heart in the first place
You cannot abandon that "lil" business or project you're working on. You can't afford to walk away, and you will hate yourself if you do.SideNote: this is episode 512, I incorrectly said 511 on the episode. I have so many I'm losing count I suppose :)
You're bleeding right now but you don't want to stop it because it will be painful...newsflash you're ALREADY in pain so you might as well do something about it.
Journaling and photographs can never be erased, nor can the feeling from those present moments. But good or bad- that moment in time will bless you during the current times you are in right now and so on and so forth.
Internal thoughts and external circumstances have been bullying you for a long time. You are wounded, sad, and confused. There is no way out it seems like, but THERE is a way...there is always a way.
The decisions you make-good or bad- are all orchestrated in a tailored and linear path just for you, and you only. Embrace it. You're one of a kind.
How you move as an entrepreneur and dream chaser is very crucial for your freedom. The freedom from debt, and time restraints, whatever chains that may be holding you down. But here is the kicker; the freedom WILL cost you something, and you're paying the cost for yourself and others.
How you feel, is how you feel, but that CANNOT erase your WHY. Your appointment with destiny is still scheduled.
Doing the bare minimum will get you by, but it will NOT get you to where you KNOW you should be.
Encouragement can come from the most unlikely places and in the most random hours of the day, or night. Be open to receive it at all times.
Your journey is calibrated to your strengths and will lead you down the easiest route possible. But will you follow the directions or allow your ego to override it?
When your circle has low interest rates in your dreams it can be demoralizing. But the interest you possess will yield high returns as long as you persevere.
When is the last time YOU felt impressed by YOURSELF? When is the last time YOU gave YOURSELF an applause?
Although you may not be finished, you can still applaud yourself during the process. In fact it's necessary to keep the momentum going.,
If you REALLY want to make it happen, then you have to TRULY believe and get rid of the GMO faith
Hobbies and your livilihood should both bring you joy, but they must be kept in separate rooms to avoid stagnation.
We are officially in the 2nd quarter of the year. But no one celebrates winning two quarters, the goal is to finish- so now more than ever is the time to remain focused on the endgame.
Inconvenient problems can be very frustrating, but they are also necessary when you are trying to get somewhere you have never been before.
You've been stirring a recipe for disaster for far too long. Time to cook up something that will leave you fulfilled once and for all.
You didn't choose this life, it chose YOU. When you realize that you will move differently, with more tenacity.
Stop feeding your spirit junk and start giving it the nutrients it deserves so all can be well at all times.
The uncomfortable is upgrading you to a much more comfortable space in life. But through the highs and the lows, you still have full control of your faith!
You've sat dormant for far too long hoping that this dream you have miraculously falls into your lap. IT WON'T! YOU need action, discipline, and execution, and all of that begins with ONE small step in the right direction
You want to be a leader, but do you understand the responsibility that follows? You owe a debt to your team, your family, your community, and most of all to yourself.
You want the results which is understandable, but you don't want the process. It is impossible to get there without the small steps in-between and on this episode I speak on that and more as we settle into this New Year
As much as you want it, it wants you just as equally. The energy will always reflect your efforts.
You want to be great? You want to separate yourself from the pretenders? Then you need to lock in- in a way that you've never locked in before. Today's episode I talk about how I made this practical change in my own endeavors.
We cannot control the changing of the seasons we are in, but we CAN take full control of the situations we are in. No matter how dire they may seem. This episode I talk about how we must assess, address, and then we can achieve.
If you're struggling to get through today, then be thankful for everything that will come tomorrow. That should give you the boost that you need.
Comparison is the thief of joy, but what happens when you expel that thief from your space once and for all?

Infections are not just physical they are very much mental and emotional as well. This episode I discuss how we can cure ourselves from the infection of inversion

Since I was child in the 90s, since I was a freshman in HS in 2003, since I graduated college in 2010...I have always been an aspiring entrepreneur, but it wasn't until a certain subscription that I believed it was truly obtainable.
Whether it's 500, 100,000, or 2 million. Dollars or followers, it all starts with 1 and it grows with 1.
If you want to ascend that means your path has to be shaken up in order for that to happen. You can't get there on the same road you started on.
We all are laboring together for individual goals. But when those around you are mindless and believe losing is the norm, it's time to shift the environment within in you and around you so that you can win.
You're fed up and want to quit? Ok fine then quit, but then what? Ask yourself that question before you jump off the ship.
You are so used to bad things happening that when good things begin to happen you are confused. I challenge you to shift your perspective and you will clearly see that the good things are normal so prepare to get used to this now and for the future.
You are dedicated in one area of your life and lazy in another area and you act surprised when things always fall short. You need to start building endurance in EVERY AREA you're involved in for true transformation.
Communication can be verbal, non-verbal, written, and most of all spiritual. That last one is the one we tend to ignore and tune out, but if we truly want to elevate to the next level we have to declutter the distractions so we can hear loud and clear.
It's difficult, but it is not impossible...the end result is all determined by you. No one else.
Not approved, denial letters, being told NO...may seem like a routine but that is NOT your reality.
You may feel pretty low, but you are never beyond the point of no return. You may feel like nothing has been accomplished, but the entire time your wants&needs are being checked. You may be oblivious to all of this and more, but trust me it's true.
If you love yourself then you can imagine reality, and then you can accomplish everything.
The information in this episode will help YOU generate more sales, because it has worked for me..time and time again.
Train your mind to believe the truth, which is you are closer than you think...so close you can touch it.
It doesn't MATTER how it happens, all that MATTERS is that it will happen. Don't stifle your progress because of your ego.
No matter how many Ls you take, that one W makes it ALL WELL. That's my message to myself on my 36th birthday, it's also my message to you.
What are you skilled at? What have you ccomplished? It's time to stop selling yourself short and build your resumè, your REAL resumè
Apologizing and issuing refunds to customers/clients when you have done nothing wrong is crazy work. So stop doing it and don't ever do it again.
Who are you? What is your identity? When people hear your name or your business name how do they react? The answer to those questions and more all are within YOUR control.
Complex problems require smaller steps to solve them. Instead of fixating on the bigger picture, give some more energy to the pixels that make things so beautiful.
Fall in love with your journey and understand that even the uncomfortable moments are setting you up for a huge leap forward.
The energy you emit into the world is the SAME energy that will circle back to you. You have the authority on the type you want to give, in business, personal, and beyond.
The orchestra of occurrences in your life are setting you up for a big gain, but you can't hear or see it because you are distracted by disappointment.
You claim you trust 'God's Plan' but you could be blocking your blessings by refusing to build with the first brick God has given you because it doesn't fit the vision YOU think is best.
Every disappointment, no matter how painful, is a detour for a safer route on your journey. I experienced this recently and this episode I will share my theory.
Doubt, fear, frustration, overthinking, stress, debt, racism, sexism, etc. There is a lot of traffic on your journey. You been on this road for a long LONG time, but what if you tried a EASIER route to get there?
You've worked hard and done everything YOU can do. We always scream "Jesus take the wheel" but we refuse to to let it happen because it's scary. But Faith is required in the presence of fear.
You are frustrated because you are focusing too much on what is fake and you aren't nurturing what IS real
Your mind is polluted and cloudy because you are in a war and you don't even know it. I am too, and on this episode I share three tactics to fight back so that you can be victorious once and for all.
You have more control over your life than you think you do. You can change the trajectory of how things are going at any given second. But you have to believe it 100% in your mind and in your tongue.
Derogatory marks in your customer service and in your personal relationships will damage you far more than any credit bureau. Build a good credit history and maintain that with your actions, no matter what!
We ALL have special unique abilities that can serve us and others, but sadly so few of us tap into these abilities. But I'm telling you now it is time for you to lock into these gifts and leap yourself forward out of the mud that has stalled you for so long. You have an extra day to execute, every single day you wake up. Use it!
Things are going wrong or completely terrible in your business and the pursuit of your goals. Life be lifing. While we cannot control what happens on the outside we can control the inside and the first thing we must do is fall BACK in love with our mission and that WILL shift our outlook and bring calm to the chaos.
We have been thrust into a war from the moment we were born. And we have the arsenal to win this war as long as we continue to say the correct words.
Doesn't matter how long you can go without falling back into bad habits, when you do, it is still damaging and the streak is reset at 1. The good news is once you reset you can have a clean slate and change your life for the greater good.
Ideas are exciting, but they alone will NOT bring you joy. The real excitement is seeing that idea through from imagination to reality.
When motivation is gone and all inspiration has fizzled out there is still one more gear to get you over the hump, Discipline.
When things are going your way or when things are not going your way you have to keep the same energy. This episode I talk about why.
YOU are keeping yourself in the wilderness. So I'm asking YOU, how long will it take?????
They say it's trash, but they can't see the cash. That's THEIR fault but YOUR deliverance. Tune in I'll explain.
What you USE TO BE has no power on what you are and what you WILL BE. This applies to every avenue in life, business, relationship, personal, etc. Despite the damage you have done to yourself and others there is still much room for growth and success. It is time to recover.
It is time to cancel all of the negativity that has been plaguing you by turning up the volume in resilient spirit. It is crucial to your next breakthrough.
Your intense mentality to win and accomplish your goals must never waiver. It should be the same whether the cameras are on you or they aren't. This episode I talked about this and how even if you can only give 20% that is still the right intensity because it's better than 0%
Be honest with yourself on why you are chasing certain goals or material things. If the answer involves someone else...then you need to consider being a nobody.
I get it, you are more than eager and ready to receive what you have been working towards for so long. If you feel stuck in the mud yet so so close then you just may have to separate from the familiar in order to finally reach what you desire
If you want to tap into that power, you first must tap into your joy. #mogulmotivation #ambition #motivation #entrepreneurship #inspiration #perseverance #endurance #joy #career
The seasons and environment are changing around us as we speak. We can't control nature, but we can control the nature in which we operate. On this episode I talk about a couple things that help me stay focused on my goals which can help you as well.
Sometimes we make things much more difficult for ourselves because we refuse to expand our horizons.
True friendship, just like service, requires inconvenience. If someone isn’t willing to inconvenience themselves for you then you may have reevaluate your relationship with them. Doesn’t mean they are bad people, but it could very well mean y’all not as close as YOU think y’all are. The same goes for you as well, if you aren’t willing to inconvenience yourself for someone else then you probably don’t consider them a friend. Ijs we all need to think about these things the older we get so we are fully aware of who is a villager and who is a visitor. When we know what circles we fall into we would be more at peace with the people around us.I posted this ^ on my Facebook page a week ago so I will expand on this point during this episode while also connecting it to entrepreneurship and dream chasing!
The Chicago style hot-dog is this: beef frankfurter topped with yellow mustard, diced white onions, green relish, red tomato slices, green sport peppers, a pickle spear, and celery salt. The assortment of vibrant vegetables created the "dragged through the garden" reference. ANYWHERE in Chicago when you order a hotdog THIS is how it will be prepared. So if it's the same formula and preparation why isn't there a monopoly on it? This is not a SoCHiology episode this is very much a Mogul Motivation episode and this week I explain why market over saturation should not worry you in the least bit.
Times are hard in your career and/or your entrepreneurial journey and they may appear as if they are not getting better, but when you have done all YOU can do it's best to sit back and allow our faith to take the wheel. #mogulmotivation #motivation #entrepreneurship #ambition #endurance #perseverance
Even when you feel like you are losing, you are still winning you just can't see it because...you're focused on one part of the game and not the ENTIRE game.

Enough droplets of your success can fill the cup of others. You can't quit for yourself, but also because your blessings will open opportunities for those around you. You're a beneficiary of this and you may not even know it.

It's so frustrating, demoralizing, and burdening to try and try again to get over that hump yet to fail once more. The only thing you can do is remain tenacious because that hump in your life is the only thing between you and the greatness you desire.

Progress is real and inevitable when you're consistent with your goals. But fear, negativity, and perfection will manipulate you into thinking that it can never be done. #motivation #entrepreneurship #consistency #perseverance #dreamchasing

We love the concept of invincibility and other super human attributes. The truth is though, we already possess extraordinary powers.

You have a lot of material to transport from your mind to the world, yet you are still stagnant. The reason might be you're too scattered brained and doing many things at once. It's time to sit down, focus, and get the blueprint to...one train.. at a time. #entrepreneurship #multiplestreamsofincome #endurance #focus
You have to be kind to yourself and continue to persevere so that you can fall back in love with what you do. Once that happens, the darkness will begin to dissipate. Trust me I'm a witness to this. #entrepreneurship #endurance #careerbuilding #dreamchasing #mastery
We are constantly growing and evolving. There comes a time when you have to choose the BEST version(s) of your self to lead the charge, for YOU, but not just the current you, ALL OF YOU#entrepreneurship #endurance #perseverance #childhoodmemories Also subscribe to Mike's Den here: https://www.youtube.com/ @MikkisDen
Kason has been in the real estate industry for over 20 years and has achieved REAL financial freedom, which I assume is the goal for many people. This conversation Kason gives her motivations on why she refused to quit and how she endured the ups and downs for so long and beat the odds that are stacked against so many Black women, Black people, and poor people in this country.

History is the cause of your present effect and there is nothing you can do to erase it, but YOU CAN use it to serve a greater purpose in your life. #motivation #history #entrepreneurship #endurance #betterfuture
It's a cold world, but we have to keep warm somehow. Never stop feeding your fire no matter how faint it may become. #mogulmotivation #entrepreneurship #endurance #perseverance
Your work is creating change. Every small step, action, accomplishment, is sending vibrations within your spirit and throughout your community. So never stop even if you don't see it immediately- or as quick as you would like.#rippleeffect #causeandeffect #smallvictories #impact
One foot after another...it may seem as if it's all we can do, but in some seasons it's all we need to do.#consistency #endurance #action #execution
Goal setting and brainstorming can be very effective, but can also cloud your mind with all the bad things. This episode I talk about how we can navigate through it all. #brainstorming #overthinking #anxiety #gratitude
2022 has been a long, rough, tough, and hard year for many of us. Now it's time to just say "I Don't Give a F^ck" and go even deeper, higher, and further, than we ever have before#entrepreneurship #endurance #faith #risk
Excavation first, Foundation second, then comes Elevation. On this episode I talk about how to tie it all together, but it's now or never.#MogulMotivation #Elevation
Once all of the bad things have been cleared out -excavation- now it's time to build your foundation, but how do you do that? And what does that mean?
Impatiently or patiently waiting for the next chapter to commence in your life can be frustrating, trust me I know this all too well. Before that new chapter begins, however, we must clear out all the old and and destructive elements that don't serve us. Because there is no room for it anymore.
I'm under the weather this week but I wanted to give a quick reminder that you have to be your BEST self if you want to live your BEST life. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Why do you continue to push forward when everything is against you? Why do you continue to hold on to hope? It's because you want independence for yourself, your family, and your community...that's why.
If you are going to bet on yourself and gamble on your life...you may as well see it through until you WIN! That is the most logical and beneficial decision to make during this journey.
Immeasurably: too large, extensive, or extreme to measure. Everything you have prayed for is within that definition, and those prayers have been answered.
Your feelings right now may be triggered from events in the PAST, but yet here you are in the present, wiser, smarter, stronger, and better than ever before.
When all the funds, energy, and resources have been exhausted..all you have left is hope. I know hope doesn't pay the bills, but hope will get you to a better space where bills won't be a problem ever again.
Being "in your feelings" has a negative connotation in society. We tell ourselves and others to not be emotional. But I'm here to tell you that is NOT true and we need to get in our feelings and STAY there if we really want to breakthrough.
Every move you make doesn't have to be broadcasted, and every move you make doesn't have to be a duplicate of someone else's...
You have some tough opposition in your way that's trying to prevent you from accomplishing your goals, but the reinforcements are greater.
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our journeys for success we forget the L word...it happens, but we can always get it back.
Through all of the hardships, pain, and frustration...the one constant has been you..your faith.
Searching high and low for validation from everywhere and ignoring the source right in front of you.
Bullying yourself into selling yourself short has become the norm, but eventually your spirit will get fed up and take over
We know barriers exist on our journey to success, we can see them a mile away. So how do we overcome them?
There are certain ideas, visions, goals, that are so massive we can't escape them, no matter how hard we try...
We think success is a remedy for the virus that's plaguing us, when in reality it's just a band-aid on the surface with no effect at all.
Berean Baton Rouge- Manna Mondays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z4-8dlEVnA
You don't like when people just show up and get rewarded. That's understandable. But when people SHOW UP they deserve to be rewarded. Every single time.
You're uninspired because you lack motivation. You lack motivation because you're not emotional enough...
The manner in which you LIVE is how your LEGACY will be treated. But..you have the power over that and much more.
Negative thoughts can occupy your mind for a long time. We have to shift our focus if we want better for ourselves and to finally accomplish those goals we are chasing
As soon as you make it to the top of the hill, there will always be a stick waiting to trip you and send you tumbling back down. We have to keep our eyes open at all times.
You're ashamed due to the speed, or lack thereof, it's taking you to get there. When you should be focused on maintaining the enthusiasm because you are getting there nonetheless.
Are you as healed as you claim to be? If the answer is no that could be a big reason why you're not where you want to be...yet
You think your business or your goals aren't moving forward because you can't SEE it. But you fail to realize it's been growing since the inception.
You know what you should pursue, what you should tend too, what you should focus on, and what you need to execute. The biggest problem is you don't listen...
The route you take to accomplish your goals may not be ideal, pretty, or preferred. You may not have the applause and the followers, but it's still effective and the end goal will be just as glorious as the other folks you compare yourself to.
I get it you want to quit because nothing is working out in your favor. You don't have permission though. I'm not talking about permission from me, I'm talking about permission from YOU!
Can imagine being turned into a toilet and your job is to digest daily other people's....you know...well what if I told you you're doing that right now every day of your life? You wouldn't like that would you? But the great news is, you can change IT!
Anger is a human emotion and unfortunately an emotion many of us experience often. Being angry is not a bad thing we just use that anger to attack the wrong people when the real dragon is right in front of us the entire time.
Dreams are a great thing, but until you WAKE UP...those dreams will never become a reality.
It's hard, it's ugly, it's frustrating, but sometimes you have to tell yourself it will get done regardless of what stands before you.
It's extremely frustrating when you have done all you can do in order to make your dreams come true and it still doesn't work out. You must understand in these situations it's not your fault and there is always another way...
Every time you open your mouth how often are you saying negative things about the world, your goals, and most importantly...yourself?
You want things to be a certain way, when in actuality they're another way...and that's OK!
You're already going through hell to reach your goals, but is there a price for you to go BACK to the beginning and do it all over again?
Despite the storms you're up against you are still in control of the steering wheel and your fuel has an unlimited source.
A landowner ALLOWED a developer to come in and build with the promise of shared profits, but things did not go as planned...or did they?
Procrastination, doubt, and insecurity are a thick overcast in your life. However, once you cut through it there is NOTHING that cloud you anymore.
This is the last episode of 2021 and as we prepare to step into 2022 it's crucial you check the scoreboard because we still have a long way to go.
We will dig all over the place except the one spot where the gold has been resting all along...
Why wait for certain seasons and man-made holidays to set the tone for your happiness, love, and ambition? You set the tone for it every single day.
The weapons will form. They will mobilize. The weapons will become more ferocious, things may seem dire when that happens, but it also means you're closer to capturing that flag. The weapons are trying to keep you from what belongs to you.
Regardless if it's your fault or not...you know the situation you are in. And you know it's not a great one. So why continue to focus on that instead of focusing on the solution?
Too much noise going on. Too much movement. Sometimes you gotta tell your thoughts to "sit yo a$$ down" so you can focus and accomplished the tasks ahead of you.
It's insulting when we give more attention to what we desire and ignore what we've accomplished.
Regardless of how much work you put in, regardless of how much money you invested, regardless of how many tears you shed...
You didn't get there by yourself.
Go outside and try to grab hold of the wind. Strategize, focus and fixate on it. Let me know if it works out for you. I'm certain you will fail at that because some things are physically and scientifically impossible, just like on your dream chasing journey so it's time to shift our focus.
You may not have had the support you needed in the past. That is why you have to become THAT support NOW. It's a 2 for 1 because you comfort your younger self AND you die your current self the energy to go forward at the same time.
Accumulating hundreds & thousands of followers and influencing them with hollow words is not the life you should seek.
2021 only has 4 months left. Don't force yourself to finish strong. Instead force yourself to appreciate the moment. That will yield far more benefits.
Generational curses have had such a tight grip on us and many of those around us. That is until now...
Do a deep introspection of yourself. Analyze your emotions and then ask yourself what is holding YOU back? Once you have that honest answer then it is time to move forward accordingly.
This is a Mogul Motivation re-run from February 17th, 2016. In this episode I talked about why it's important to keep your dreams confidential.
You have nothing to prove to yourself. You did great things once, and you will do great things again, in due time.
This episode of Aspire Higher I talk with Curtis Rowe who has found success in every arena he stepped into. He gives us insight on his drive and how he remained motivated over the course of thirty years.
Do you REALLY want the know the reasons WHY you aren't succeeding? Or would you rather focus that energy on solutions?
We renege and self sabotage ourselves because we "think" we were destined for hardship in the beginning. When actually we were destined for greatness.
Do you want to accumulate money because it's money? Or do you want to accumulate money to use as a tool for something greater?
Turmoil, chaos, wind, waves, and fear may cloud your vision to see what's across those troubled waters.
But with faith as your navigation and a strong conviction that sunnier and better days are ahead you will and can get through it.
Write down all of your visions, goals, and desires. Make it plain just as the Good Book says.
Then SPEAK life into those very same words.
We as a people use "bad things" to numb our pain from bad days. Drug abuse comes in many forms.
What if I told you that this world was so full of bad news it actually numbs our natural state of mind? It's time to activate that powerful drug deep inside that will carry us to overcome those bad days. It's called enthusiasm.
During those dark periods in your life you may feel lost, helpless, and want to throw in the towel.
But there is a light that will continue to guide you step by step if you are willing to trust it.
Storm is one of the most powerful X-men because she can control the weather however she desires. Unlike Storm, we can't control the weather. Literally and metaphorically. But we have the power to push through every season that passes through our lives and entrepreneurial journeys
"Flexing" on others should never be a priority. Even if they wronged you. You may not be a success yet in your eyes, but in the grand scheme of things you have achieved success already.
Despite racism, capitalism, trauma, and many other unseen evil forces in this world you're still here. If you are going to flex on anything, flex on that.
When you have goals to achieve you have to understand you will be uncomfortable for a long period of time. And no one knows how long that period may be. That's why you have to become comfortable during that uncomfortable period. If you can do that your endurance will be stronger and then before you know it your struggles TODAY will be far better than your best effort YESTERDAY.
Giving is essential to your personal and business growth. We have to create the reality for others that we wish existed for us sometimes. It's a great thing because not only are you pouring into someone else, but you are also investing in your future; whether it's financial, mental, or spiritual.
Why is it so hard to tell yourself "it WILL work out" and so easy to tell yourself "it won't work out"
It's because you have lost faith and hope in your goals, but the good news is you're still qualified for The Grace Grant. And it doesn't have an expiration date.
Entrepreneurs and Dream chasers face many barriers to entry as we seek success. It can become extremely frustrating and discouraging. So much so that we begin to worship these barriers because we think the barriers will become our salvation. That line of thinking is very dangerous and far from the truth. That's why the "g" in god in today's episode is lowercased.
When we hear "generational wealth" we automatically think about tangible things such as currency, mansions, boats, cars, etc.
But generational wealth has many forms that are intangible like love, support, and inspiration. This is how Darrius Gates got to where he is today and why he's so focused on paying it forward.
www.DTGates.com
This is a very traumatic world we live in. On all fronts. It's very discouraging especially if you have goals you're striving for.
Nevertheless, as long as we have air in our lungs we have the power to write our own scripts and give ourselves, and others, the happy ending we deserve.
Shawn Michelle's Homemade Ice cream is the brainchild of YahYa Muhammad. Like many entrepreneurs he was met with hurdle after hurdle, and even tragedy unfortunately, but it was his strong faith that knocked down every barrier.
This episode of Aspire Higher YahYa navigates us through his journey from inception to manifestation.

"Denied" "Declined"
Seeing those words suck and can be extremely frustrating. It's better to see "Approved" or "Accepted"
Maybe though, just maybe, we get denied and declined, so we can never forget the blessings that brought us to this point in the first place.
You work so hard to build something then it comes tumbling down. Because of inconsistency, because of people telling you "No", because of many hurdles.
That can be very frustrating and disheartening. The only thing we can do in these situations however is to keep the pace and place our trust in something greater!
It's easy to remind yourself of the bad things, but it's hard to tell yourself the great things.
Change the conversations you have with yourself and watch your behavior shift.
Peace supersedes Paychecks. Regardless of how big that paycheck is. We work jobs we don't care for simply because we need the money. We set aside stress, depression, and health for money.
These jobs are a huge distraction and preventing us from pursuing our passions. Whether that is your dream career or your business there will come a time where you must shift your faith from money to God and just say "F^ck that Job"
Chanell Hale started a simple hobby in college: Cooking. That hobby became a business, that business became a non profit, that non profit became a movement.
And that movement ultimately became a lifestyle.

Storms rage at ocean level. Waves rise 40feet high, winds blow 100mph, rain, thunder, lightning are in an abundance.
But if you go 100 feet below the surface there are no signs of a storm. It's just peace and calm. That contrast applies to entrepreneurs and Dream chasers alike.
You lack confidence in what you're doing because you don't know WHY you're doing it. It's like you're driving on a road trip with no purpose.
Passion with no purpose is pointless, but REAL passion always has a purpose. This week you have to ask yourself WHY am I doing this and that will reveal your mission. Then you will have all the confidence you need to go forward.
Manushka is currently the Assistant City Attorney for Shreveport, Louisiana, but her path there wasn't smooth. Growing up in a household where the expectations were to pursue a medical career, changing her major during undergrad, and witnessing a transformative experience to pass the BAR exam. Her story is powered by perseverance and fueled by faith.
Question:
If you were on a tropical and beautiful vacation and you KNEW if you obsessed over your problems back home it would make your scenery dreary and dystopian would you continue to focus on said problems or focus on the beauty in front of you?
Dr. Mysti Harrison didn't have any immediate examples of being a doctor in her life early on, but she KNEW becoming a doctor was an option, failure was not.
Entrepreneurs and Dream chasers feel the need that they must always be busy or productive to a degree when sometimes, many times, it's best to slow down and focus on the small things. That's what really will get you to the top.
Freshman year at Western Illinois University there were only 2 Black boys on my floor; myself, and Hamm Bishop. This episode of Aspire Higher Hamm tells us how his drive is bigger than making a lot of money, it's about making others that look like him make a lot of money also.
You can find his business info here: www.Sgsincorporated.com

Visions and ideas that remain on your mind for years are not random thoughts they are there for a reason. They are waiting for you to put them into action and execute so all of the events in your life, good and bad, can make sense.
She didn't choose medicine, medicine chose her.
Dr. Allen has overcome nearly every single hurdle thrown at her to achieve her goals of becoming a doctor, but her trajectory doesn't end there. She wants more; more Black doctors, nurses, and administrators. Not only that, but she wants to lead by example, where it all started...
Doesn't matter how hard you work. If it is not meant for you to walk through certain doors then they will not open. Your faith will forge the keys for the doors you are destined to enter throughout your journey to success.
Ron Lofton made a lot of money in Corporate America and a vast majority of that money didn't go into his pockets. He wanted ownership, but he also wanted to serve. Those desires thrust him into the world of entrepreneurship and he eventually owned numerous McDonald's franchises on the West Side of Chicago where he became a leader in his community and within the McDonald's organization. Not bad for a man whose life began on a humble Mississippi farm.
Your goals may seem unbelievable to many. Don't take it personal that's just how they have been conditioned to think. Which makes it even more important that you must succeed. So they can become believers.
You ever have a bad day. Like a TERRIBLE ass day where you just wanted to say fuck it all? That was me yesterday. It was a very VERY bad day.
Then I realized something...my success was still unbothered.
The internet gives alluring images of entrepreneurship and success. The internet doesn't tell the full truth however. There is a lot of unattractiveness that comes before and during success.
Fires grow and spread rapidly. Just like idea and goals. They are easy to spark, but sometimes they die down. Why is that? And how can we keep fires, literally and metaphorically, hot and make them grow so they can shine so bright? I answer these questions and more in this week's episode.
We all need rest days to regroup and gain clarity for our goals. Don't rest too long though because at the end of the day no one will do the work for you. No one. After you rest up you have to clock in and get back to it.
COVID-19 has forced us to wear masks all year to protect ourselves from a virus we didn't see coming in the past. I want to end this Mogul Motivation year off speaking on a few more things we must protect ourselves from, AND HOW we can do it.
Multiple streams of income are necessary to survive. Whatever those streams may look like for you. However, there are another type of streams needed to survive as well, far more important and valuable than money can ever be.
Water evaporates and creates clouds. Those clouds then release water back to the earth. We call it rain. The cycle is pretty comforting, what goes up must come down. Prayers go up, blessings come down. Now imagine if every single water molecule that forms a cloud represents someone that is praying for you...would you still quit?
"You can't win. You can't break even and you can't get out of the game."
Those are lyrics sung by the late great Micheal Jackson in the cult classic "The Wiz". The song is memorable. The movie is iconic. However those words are false. Because you CAN win as long as you remember one important fact...
We fool ourselves into thinking that success is a microwave. Quick. Fast. Instant.
We are sadly mistaken. It's ok though because we still have the time and the energy to go through the process the proper way.
The struggles you are enduring right now in this moment may very well be overwhelming, BUT it is essential you keep going and plant some seeds, gems, and memories, to energize yourself down the line. You will thank yourself later that you did it.
No amount of seasonal depression can't stop our perpetual ascension in life. Unless we allow it.
When bad news shows up at your doorstep. When you're under attack from all sides. It is human nature to feel every negative emotion imaginable. You may feel like you are in an endless pit of despair.
However, if you pay close attention there will be some gentle reminders around you to reveal that is not the case.
Simple & Easy ARE NOT the same. In this episode I explain why, as well as why you should be grateful things aren't easy in regards to your dreams
None of us will live forever. We are all born with biological clocks. So why do we impose artificial clocks on our goals to add more stress? Now we start to believe we're "late" when it comes to achievements and that's not the case.
Life is tough especially when you realize that circumstances were intentionally created to be against you. Black people, poor people are born into grave situations. However just because we are lying in graves doesn't mean we are dead. We can still climb out and LIVE
We can churn out our own motivation to get things done...if we truly want to. It won't be easy, but it's possible and in many cases necessary.
When we become weighed down by anxiety and depression as we chase our goals our thinking goes off track. We begin to think to ourselves that we have to make a huge gain in order to get out of the hole.
That's not true. Well not entirely. Yes we need a huge gain, but it doesn't [and it won't] all come at once.
When anxious thoughts begin to creep into your mind, running from it will not save you! In fact it will torture you slowly. The best way to avoid this is to gather all the courage you have and attack it in the moment!
Solve the problem, don't let the problem solve you!
We think "execution" means FAST. That is not the case. Execution is continued discipline despite the many hardships you face. Execution is what gets you across the finish line!
What if I told you that the gold mine you were digging for so eagerly, and all over the place, was within you the entire time?
Before you started your business, before you began to chase your dreams you were already apart of a business. A business bigger than Amazon, Microsoft, Walmart, Apple, and Google put together.
The most extraordinary thing is your performance in every day life is key to making this business profitable just as much as it's key to your goals.
Rest In Peace to Chadwick Boseman the Black Panther! It's a very sad reality to know that he is no longer with us, but his impact and his work will live on forever! We can learn a few things from him and other people we admire while we move forward on our journey to success.
And >NO< none of these lessons include "Work relentlessly"
Sometimes you just have to allow the fire in your mind run it's course...then rebuild from the ashes around you. Sounds tragic but this story ends in triumph if that's what you truly want.
Everyone has a story. A background. A struggle. One common mistake a lot us make though, is we tell our stories to the wrong crowd.
When life gives you lemons you make lemonade right? But what do you do when life gives you Fruit Punch??
Being angry at your circumstances will not change anything or grow your business...unless you funnel that anger in another form...
There are two sides to every coin. There is also two sides to every entrepreneur. The key is to use BOTH sides to our advantage and execute our goals!
I truly believe that violence and other crime in inner city neighborhoods are deeply rooted in things that occurred far before any of us were born. Black and marginalized people have been conditioned for survival mode. It is up to us to shift that thinking...
Momentum shifts, dry spells, sales streaks, you have endured a lot on your entrepreneurial journey. But this was just the first quarter...
The comment section is where the most hate filled, illogical, and asinine remarks will be found. How do you operate when these type of comments are made about you, by you??
The Battle of Midway is seen as the turning point in the Pacific Theater in WW2. We are now at the Midway point of 2020, a very tumultuous year for many reasons, and it is up to us to turn things around.
And yes Midway Airport here in Chicago is named after this battle. Just a fun fact.
We go from vibrant human beings to black & white shells of ourselves. We must reverse this process by any means or else all success will be in vain.
My childhood interest in meteorology taught me a lot of random and nerdy things. I never would have guessed that one of those lessons would be extremely relevant in my life and in this world now more than ever before.
If you fail that doesn't mean you have to start over from the beginning. That's what memory cards are for.
I pray I never go to prison, especially for life. I love my freedom. I'm sure you love your freedom as well.
What if I told you that we have the choice to keep ourselves out of prison or better yet, break ourselves out of prison if need be?
The Chicago Bulls are the only NBA franchise to win multiple championships and not lose in the NBA finals. I believe it's not just because they had the best player of all time, although that surely helps a great deal, but it's because they had the perfect combination that formed the Nucleus of winning. In this episode I explain the parts to that nucleus and how it can translate your business and goals.
This week I share a formula that I created on my journey that has helped me accomplish many goals. This formula will guide you as you take extraordinary action to hit extraordinary targets
If you have extraordinary targets that you are aiming for they are far more obtainable than we think. We just have to push ourselves to another limit and take extraordinary action to hit that target.
What holds more value? Negative thoughts or Positive thoughts? I'm sure you know the answer, but in this episode I dive deeper into this dynamic and explain the true power of thoughts for dream chasers.
If you have a thought about doing something great. You will accomplish it as long as you HOLD on to that thought. If you lose grip of it then it will never come to fruition.
They say don't judge a book by it's cover, likewise I don't think people should judge others based off a 3-digit number. But they do anyway. Since this is how the game is played we need to switch to offense and stop playing defense so we can win in the end!
The quarantine continues across the nation and in many countries. The world has slowed down to almost a complete halt. It's a trying time for everyone especially entrepreneurs and dream chasers. However, it's very crucial that we do not fall into an obvious trap, and we keep working towards the end goal.
America has issued lockdowns to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, you have to issue a lockdown to continue to grow towards your dreams
How old are you? Can you imagine if YOU had to work NON STOP your entire life? No breaks, no lunch, no rest, just constant work to keep a greater cause functioning. How would you feel if that "great cause" you been working non stop to keep going quit on you?
The biggest Return on Investment for your business or your dream will come from YOU just being YOU! It's that simple ladies & gentlemen.
Your confidence and courage will be under constant attack. It's time you go on the offensive and neutralize these threats.
Last week I talked about Maturity Dates. What if you KNEW the exact date all of your dreams would come to reality, would you still work as hard as you do now??
We desperately want our investments to be paid back to us. But that will not happen until something else matures first.
Sometimes we find ourselves more concerned with EVERYTHING but the one thing we should be concerned about, our vision.
Rest in Power Kobe Bryant. He inspired us all not just in sports but in LIFE! This episode I talk about how we can learn from him and continue to push towards greatness on our dream chasing journeys!
The only sure way to defeat a monster that continues to come after you is to become a BIGGER monster!
Today is the start of a new era in your life. It is time for you to let go of the past and embrace the greatness to come. It's all yours if you truly want it!
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope all is well on this day for you! Did you get everything on your Christmas list? Whether you did or didn't it doesn't matter because a more important list needs attention for 2020 and beyond!
Work Smart, Not Sexy. We have BIG goals, LUXURIOUS goals. And we want them now. But that isn't realistic. We have to humble ourselves and change vehicles in order to reach that destination.
If you know it or not, we put a lot of limitations on our growth. We keep roofs over our heads that don't need to be there. It's time we destroy them. Immediately.
This entrepreneur journey would be just a little bit better if we all accepted some uncomfortable facts about what we are doing.
As entrepreneurs and dream chasers we can sometimes put ourselves in uncomfortable situations. The great news is, however, we can also liberate ourselves too.
How do you boost your winning percentage in life so that more things go in your favor opposed to the opposite? It all starts in the mind.
How do you effectively market your business when you don't have any money? This week i share 3 honest steps that I learned are very powerful over time.
If your dream is delayed that doesn't mean it's dead. Just keep the ideas raining down.
What keeps you going through the struggle? Faith? Determination? Passion? All of these may be a reason why. However, I think there is another reason as well...
When we work hard and begin to see the results that can manipulate us into thinking "we've made it". That's a toxic mentality. In this episode I talk about why we should never get comfortable with our success.
It's a frustrating reality when it seems that you have to start all over despite the time, energy, and money you invested into your dreams. However the only solution to escape rock bottom is to simply KEEP CLIMBING!
Insanity is necessary, but there is another type of insanity we must avoid in order to be successful.
We think that profits and success will magically appear as long as we give the world a false image of ourselves. That will NOT happen! We have to do some work first, A LOT of work actually.
No one should have the power to validate the work you are doing. That validation only comes from two sources!
If you want to thrive in this wild world of entrepreneurship you have to develop a predator's mentality
How do you think you can manage a multi-million dollar OR billion dollar company if you can't even manage yourself at this current stage?
This is the 200th episode of Mogul Motivation. It's been a blessed experience to make it this far. In this episode I give the honest reason why Mogul motivation is so important to me and how that same principle applies to my business and should apply to yours!
Leaders are at the front and center of innovation. With that being said however you will take the most hits, but you must go forward no matter what to execute your mission!

Past battles cannot win the wars ahead of you. We must learn how to put these memories behind us where they belong. The only thing that can help us reach success in the future is adapting to current circumstances and using our ingenuity.

Impulsiveness, emotion, ego, and even passion can sometimes derail us from what truly matters, the process.

We love the idea of following our passions, but what we don't understand is before we get to do what we LOVE we must do a lot of things that we HATE!

2018 will NOT be your year. You know why? Because you will give yourself an escape route just as you have done in previous years. In order to truly achieve success we must be focused 110% and not give ourselves a way out.
Stop beating yourself up over mistakes you made in the past, and stop rushing yourself to achieve the images in your head. Be patient, clear your mind, and appreciate everything that you are doing right now in the present.
In a world so loud and cluttered the best thing you can do as an entrepreneur is be silent and invisible. Let your labor, alone, do the talking not the fruits of your labor!
Do you want to know the REAL reason why many people don't support you? It's cause what you are doing is unpopular. Striving for success isn't popular, faking success is however.

When you are surrounded by people with limited thinking it can be hard to go to the next level, but don't limit yourself! Keep your mindset endless!
Don't speak down on yourself & your goals, don't spread negative energy into your own life. DECLARE Great things for yourself, your business, & your future!
When you're building a business & chasing after success, the negativity in this world will do everything possible to defeat you. But you have a choice: Victory or surrender. It's up to you!
When you have a goal, no matter what it is, you must mentally lock in on it. So hard that nothing else can distract you from achieving it!
From the moment you begin chasing after your dreams you will be under attack. 24/7 365 days a year. So in addition to building your business & moving towards your goals you must defend your dreams from this negative world. By any means necessary!
This week we discuss how your vision is bigger than you and has a great impact on everything and everyone you touch!
When you are chasing success in anything, there is no easy way. You have to do it the hard way otherwise you will never obtain it!
"Entrepreneur" "CEO" "Boss" all of these titles mean absolutely nothing without work behind them!
In order to reach success in business and life your mind must always evolve in order to stay ahead of the game. This is how we reach solutions!
Being broke sucks! Money isn't everything but being broke leads you nowhere! However, being broke is not the end of the line for entrepreneurs! Your mentality will always push you over the hump!

"When" & "If" are two small yet powerful words when it comes to entrepreneurs. Today I will discuss the power that each holds.
