A few years ago, we were behind on our mortgage, car payments and credit. It's hard to admit, since I placed SO MUCH of my business (and reputation) on creating an income from stage. 10 years ago I was on foodstamps. I learned how to speak, and how to sell, and then I started making about a hefty multiple six figures a year. Then, everything changed. I got fired from my job. My stage got taken away - the leads got taken away - and most importantly, my income got taken away. We lived off of our savings for a long time when we started up our own company's We started a med-spa. Then it closed. We bought a nail salon. Then it closed too. Richard and I spent SO MUCH TIME betting on everyone else while we watched our savings get closer and closer to zero. Then less than zero. It was like watching a dumpster fire. Sometimes we can be really stubborn while God is trying to teach us. As we took this picture, it meant more than seeing a magical landscape - it meant we had our freedom back. It meant we had our time back. It meant we had our feet under us again. I'm going to tell you this right now – you WILL crash and burn in your business. Plan on it. Literally save up for it, because it WILL happen. And probably not just once. But you will also FLY. You will have those thank you notes filling up your wall. You will have those vacations that you dreamed about. You will feel the sand in your toes as you kick up on the beach. Success= Consistency+Time This is just your reminder to keep at it.

What’s stopping you from appearing on more stages and podcasts?

Last month or maybe it was July, either way it was recently, I spoke to a men's group, there were about 10 men there and It was virtual... well the guy who runs the group and is really looking to grow it, asked me if I would be willing to be one of his go to coaches for the financial needs of his group and be on his calls and podcast and YT channel, etc. So stoked to have the opportunity, I hope it really works out the way he and I discussed things today. Thanks, that's my win for the week!

@Alton Wheelhouse @Tasha Wheelhouse @Willie Blake @John Porter @Kristy Hunter Val Livingston and Big Moe. Well done! We will see you October 10 and 11th!
