Author of Poetry books On This Day and Man to Man. I share information on leadership, personal devel So as long as I owed someone, I could not make any headway.

Throughout this journey I have been ridiculed, laughed at, and looked down upon, all because of a decision that I made that changed my world. In 2006 I found myself way over my head and unable to cope with the hand that I’d been dealt. My problem was that I believed whole-heartedly, in the idea that I was able to achieve the American dream. A dream that says I was able to live a life where I was a

ble to prosper and be happy. The life style that I had chosen to live however, was not conducive to that dream. The decision however, to never again believe in the concept of using OPM (other people’s money) to afford the type of life that I wanted to live started me on the road to live the life I wanted to live. I learned that if I wanted to prosper, the best way for me to do that is by my own efforts. Another lesson learned was that, if all of my effort was spent paying back OPM, then my chances of prospering financially was slim to none. In fact, if felt like I was moving backwards. I needed to get control of the tools I had in my tool box. It was not until I got completely fed up with being in my situation and hit my breaking point, that I was able to make the decision to do something to make a change. My entire adult life I have heard the saying “that you must have money to make money, and the best money to use is other people’s money”, and well I believed it. The process began that inundated me with finding more and more work to make ends meet. But that merely landed me in a place where I had a stressed family life, a struggling to survive career, and no way to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was truly tired of just getting by on what I thought was the bare minimum. So that day in 2006 I knew something had to give. We decided to start this journey to a life without debt. At this point in our lives we were deep in a financial hole, with a very small shovel to dig our way out. This is our journey to a debt free life! My hope is that telling this story will help inspire you to stop looking for other people to solve your problems, financial or other. There is one person that can change your life and that person is you!

The REAL Secret to Success is Giving. We all talk about chasing the bag, but in this clip, and I discuss why that's backwards. Shaun taught me that wealth is built by chasing mastery and purpose, not money. The universe will reward you—the true "secret" is the Law of Receptivity. If you lead with giving, capital will follow. You don't want to miss the full lesson on 12/29.

Who is on your "Seal Team Six"? Mr. Motivation broke down his "Management" M, emphasizing that Proximity is Power. If you are the CEO of your life, you need a team. A Doubter, a Cheerleader, a Connector. Who you allow near you determines your level of control. My challenge to you today: Identify one person on your team who helps you stay consistent. Check back 12/29 for the full blueprint.

The Question That Kills Procrastination: In my conversation with , he challenged me with this quote: "Define your fears instead of your goals." We often get paralyzed by what might happen. But what does inaction cost you? What life goals are you sacrificing by not taking the first step today? Watch this clip for a mindset shift that changed my week. Full episode drops 12/29 at 6 PM EST.

Don't shrink your goal, increase your action. This is the one nugget that hit me hardest. When we hit a wall, we immediately want to lower the bar. Shaun’s message is simple: don't. We need to apply "Massive Movement" using the 4 C's (Commence, Commit, Be Consistent, Complete). Watch this clip and get ready to 10X your effort. The full conversation is LIVE December 29! *****on

✔️ I ran for my health.
✔️ I ran for my purpose.
✔️ I ran to remind myself (and others) that it’s never too late to get in the race — literally and metaphorically.
Every step was a reminder that obstacles are just part of the story, not the end of it.
Grateful. Still moving.

New Post! Its Financial Fitness Friday Y’all!

Don’t say I can’t do it, Ask, How can I do it? I’ve learned a valuable lesson over the years: when you say you can’t do something, it’s like a red flag that signals the end of the conversation. You’ll never be able to pursue your dreams or goal…

I once believed I was wierd, carrying a backpack as an adult instead of a briefcase. Then, I encountered a quote that changed my perspective.

“For a guy, unless you carry a “purse” (man purse), I think a backpack is essential. It always seems to end up getting overstuffed, and when it does, I remind myself I don’t need to carry everything with me all the time. Getting one with a good top compartment for wallet, keys, etc., really makes life easier.”

All I need is the right bag!

😔 I always lose business cards and contact info and never have my own card when needed. Plus, I delete texts so often that messages that say"Joe" mean nothing to me. Stay tuned for my blog post on modernizing contact sharing in the digital age.
