Hey Speakers I’m on my way from VA to Savannah, GA for the BIG TIDE Conference tomorrow and when I went to get the rental … I ordered the Wagoneer! 🎉 🚙🚙 Why is that a big deal? Well because I’m following the leader. I’ve been in so many programs and even lead some myself where the students expect the results advertised but keep altering the playbook. I know you have to fit every lesson and principles to your context but outside of scaling… I contend that you just do what your coach tells you and do what your coach shows you. They say more is caught than taught. And I caught our coach in one of her videos renting a Wagoneer when they went to see Russell… so, I rented one too. Never drove one before she mentioned it now this is the 2nd time I’ve done so… do I need it? Nope? Does it change my experience? Absolutely. Confidence breeds success. I’m not confident because of the style of vehicle, I’m confident because I’m on the same path as the coach and team I’m following and that leads to impacting lives and increased income. Moral of the story, follow your leader. Ashley once said that “success leaves clues”… follow the clues, watch the vids, listen to the coaching, invest in yourself! IJS, thanks to the team here for helping us all Speak our way to cash and I’m challenging all of us to step up and follow the plan. ⁉️ What major lesson have you CAUGHT from this community or Ashley that wasn’t specifically said but you learned it?

I don’t bet against people when they’re down because you never know what they’re learning there that’ll help them climb back up faster and stronger…. I’ve been the D student and the straight-A student… I’ve been the $300k corporate executive and the $25k a year entry level worker that everyone in the office ignored… I’ve been the struggling entrepreneur and the one getting awards for having one of the fastest growing training companies in America. I’ve made millions and lost a million… But here’s what I also remember, I execute fast. And now with AI I can execute 100X faster and so can you…. You don’t need an AI clone. You don’t need AI to write your content. You need to leverage it to research buyers, build solid offers, and close deals… And that’s what we’re teaching with Land Corporate Clients Using AI … register here: https://www.aicorporatesaleslab.com

The most successful women in my programs aren’t the loudest… or the boldest… or the most extroverted. They’re the ones who aren’t afraid to be corrected. They don’t crumble when they’re coached. They don’t fold when they’re redirected. They don’t take feedback as failure. Shame slows more businesses than strategy ever will. Being coachable is a cheat code. P.S. If you're coachable and want help improving sales in your business, my mastermind is open until Monday at midnight. Comment COACH and I'll send you the application.

“Is this anti-white… or just pro-Black?” That was the real question hiding inside an email I got from a white woman asking if she was “allowed” to come to Black Women Sell Live. Every other year, we host Black Women Sell Live — a sales and leadership event built for Black women experts who are ready to sell from inheritance, not insecurity. And we named the event intentionally — to call in the women who’ve been unnamed, overlooked, and edited out of every “mainstream” business narrative for generations. It’s a celebration of us not an indictment of anyone else, but science explains why some are confused by this… Research shows that when institutions highlight racial equity or diversity, many start to feel their own group is being devalued or “left out.” In one national survey, about 3 in 10 white Americans said discrimination against white people has increased “a lot” in recent years. Which is wild considering the overt attack on diversity. 🙄 Psychologists call this a zero-sum mindset: If someone else is centered, I must be pushed out. So when you put “Black” in the title — Black Women Sell Live, Black founders, Black history — some folks don’t see “pro-Black.” Their brain reads “anti-white.” Let me show you why that math doesn’t add up. → 76% of U.S. journalists are white. → Over 80% of newsroom leaders are white — deciding which stories get told and who gets framed as the default face of success. → Turn on business TV. Scan most bestseller lists. Look at who gets quoted as the “expert.” Images of white success are not scarce. They are saturated. So no — Black Women Sell Live is not an attack on white people. It’s an interruption of erasure. Here’s what the research actually says happens when we interrupt that erasure: → Entrepreneurs who see someone “like them” succeed are 48% more likely to take high-risk, high-reward business moves — the exact moves that SCALE businesses. → People who learn their family’s economic history are 24% more likely to build wealth and report 34% higher confidence.

I celebrated my birthday in Nigeria and Ghana this year and it was a blast. Claiming this is gonna be the best year of my life to date in the next year, it’ll get better… 2026 is starting off strong…. I’ll set an event with over 600 entrepreneurs in Ghana! It was EPIC! This is our second time doing this event here… Then I flew to Nigeria I have a birthday dinner with my Nigerian family… Eno who is one of my longest standing clients turned sister and her mom and sister welcomed with open arms… Nigeria is a complete vibe! P.S. If you know how to market anywhere those concepts apply globally. So many people limit themselves to just doing business on the U.S. when if you just learn business you can do it almost anywhere… Make this the year you dominate globally…
