Sharing a clip from a 15 minute interview I did on TikTok. I can actually talk about things that were truly traumatic in my past without shame. Writing Rebuilt was so freeing! The book is available on Amazon and Kindle right now and if you want a signed copy from me, I have 5 more left out of a shipment that arrived today. Let me know if you’d like the link.

Hey 👋 Playmakers Happy Thursday So I have been thinking 🤔 about the name that I would want to call my community.. an identity that they can proudly claim and feel connected to.. These are two names, I am open for more suggestions so please feel free to share. BTW… My program name is called The M.V.P. Leadership Accelerator (for context) Here we go: 1) Diamondaires 2) Diamondites I am making a play from “The Diamond League” in track and field. Blessings 🙏🏽

Today’s Goal: Rest, reflect, and recommit — then prepare to fully launch with no turning back. Sabbath Reflection: Because it’s Sunday, I encourage you to rest and reflect today. Look back over the past 20 days of this Reset Challenge: - You’ve identified your niche. - Defined your VIP. - Written your Big Promise. - Built your ISO. - Practiced coaching scripts. You’ve come so far already! Celebrate the progress you’ve made. My Coaching Advice: Now comes one of the most important mindset shifts of this entire challenge: Burn the boat. Planning is safe. Execution is risky. But if you want to take the island, you must burn the boat. That means forward is the only option. No turning back. No safety net. Just full commitment . This is where winners are separated from dabblers. You are too close to give up now. Revenue Ready Principles: Once you’ve burned the boat, here’s how we move into revenue: 1. Sell Your Coaching Products Free or paid ebooks Mini courses and full courses Personal coaching packages and memberships 2. Set Up Payment Systems PayPal (business account) Stripe (integrates easily) Linqapp (modern link-in-bio) Samcart or Teachable for funnels & upsells 3. Leverage Networks & Affiliates Direct links to your programs CMI Affiliate programs Amazon Associates or other affiliate networks 4. Bonus Income Opportunities Coaching tools (branded products) Dropshipping and merch (Teespring, Printful, Shopify) Practical Exercise: 📝 Your Burn the Boat Step 1. Write down ONE area where you’ve been holding onto a “safety boat.” (Ex: not launching your program, not charging what you’re worth, hiding from sales). 2. Commit to eliminating it today. 3. Set up or confirm your payment system (PayPal, Stripe, or Linqapp). Call to Action: Answer this in the comments or your accountability journal: What boat do you need to burn so you can finally take the island? Affirmation of the Day: “I am revenue ready. I burn the boat, commit fully, and move forward with focus, fire, and faith.”

You’ve built the program. You’ve poured your heart into it. Now it’s time to master the art of sales. Because here’s the truth: - People have real challenges. - Your program has real value. - Transformation only happens when you confidently share your offer. 💡 Sales isn’t about pressure. It’s about service. Walk your client through a journey: 1️⃣ Preview the call (set expectations). 2️⃣ Show them their future (vision + clarity). 3️⃣ Restate the present (where they are now). 4️⃣ Acknowledge the pain points (what’s holding them back). 5️⃣ Agree on a solution (gain their commitment). 6️⃣ Share your ISO (your program + results). 7️⃣ Onboard (welcome them into transformation). 👉 Remember: People don’t buy from friends, they buy from experts who care enough to lead them into their next level. #ArtOfSales #MaxPotential #CloseTheDeal
