Are You An Asset Woman?

Hello there, YouTube! How you guys doing tonight? What's good, IG? I love you guys. I see you guys coming in already. Hello, hello, hello there once again, Facebook and my YouTube. If you are not following me on YouTube, make sure you follow me on YouTube. Go to April Mason TV on YouTube. April Mason TV on YouTube. And if you're not following me on IG or Facebook, it's Simple. Miss MS April Mason on YouTube and Snapchat as well. Snapchat, um, as well. Make sure you join me on Snapchat under Miss April Mason. Hey YouTube, I know you guys are like, what? Miss Mason is going live. I'm doing dual things. You have your Facebook, your YouTube, and your Instagram right here. Good evening, y'all. What y'all doing? Whoa, I was in here. I've been relaxing for the last week. Because over the last 5 months a lot has happened. And you guys know I had to put on this event that I just did Saturday, and it was amazing for Would the Asset Woman Please Rise, an intimate evening with April Mason. You know, it was, it was a lot of work, and I just was drained. And I've learned how to do work-life balance. You know, somebody says, wait, hold on, somebody says, hey lady. All right, woman, you got that book yet? I, I, I got you, shorty. I got you. Hold on, hold on. YouTube, thank you guys so much. You know, I started on YouTube. My very first video was 10 years ago on YouTube, and I kind of— I told my story of overcoming, you know, 12 years of molestation, and I talked about it on YouTube. That's the first time I came out and I started talking about it, and YouTube has been supporting every since then. And I know I have been neglecting you guys, but I said, you know what, I gotta get back to my YouTube folks because they have been showing love from the beginning. So the title of this video is Are You an Asset? Are you an asset? Are you an asset? Once again, for those of you that are new to me, my name is April Mason and I am a femininity and dating coach for the successful woman. I don't teach marriage because before you can get to marriage, you know, you need to learn how to date. And dating means starting to date yourself and understanding who you are, what you need at your core, and understanding that Your degree, how much money you have, what, what, um, social society— I mean, social, social organizations that you are part of does not make you an asset woman. Those are things that make you a woman that have added bonuses. So when you're operating from a place of my value is what I have, what I drive, how much money I make, you really don't know who you are. Because if those things were stripped away from you, Who would you be? Okay, so being an asset woman is all about a woman who knows who she is. And I know we hear that quite a bit. Do you know who you are? Do you know who you are? And a lot of women will say yes, but then you look at the results of your life. Your results of your life will dictate how you feel about you. If you don't like where you are, look at how you view yourself. So tonight I wanted to just talk to you briefly. You know, I always say I'm brief, I'm gonna be brief. Y'all already know I don't be brief. But I wanted to talk to you. I'm sitting around the house relaxing all week. I haven't really been doing anything, you guys. I've been going on some, some dates and stuff, and, and I took my grandson to breakfast yesterday. I know he's only 9 months old, but he told his granny he wanted some grits, so we went to go get some grits and eggs and good stuff, uh, well, bad stuff, uh, yesterday. And I just kind of been enjoying my time sitting around, not really doing much, and just enjoying life, learning how not to always be on the go. And the more I sit in solitude and take— doing self-care, the more ideas I get, the more my femininity kicks in. I always tell you ladies that if your money isn't right, it has everything to do with you being so much in the masculine. Because with the feminine, honey, when you operate in that feminine, your money will flow. Okay, Trina, don't you start with me. Trina Jones, I'm about a midnight message. I wasn't trying to get no midnight message, girl, but I— but I'm just saying, you know, you never know you know, what might be dropped on me at any given moment, girl. But, uh, the more you tap into you and you take the time— because as asset women, what we don't do is actually take time for ourselves. And the more I take time for me, the better I am to those around me. The more information that I get downloaded to share with you, to help empower you. And I just believe in taking care of myself. I believe in saying no. No. And some people you got to say hell no to. And I believe in doing that, and I make no apologies, like my granddaughter would say, no apologies, you know, for it. So with that, I've been taking the time this week and, um, just enjoying my time with me. You guys know I go get weekly flowers. I did forget to get my weekly flowers, um, but I will get them tomorrow. Yes, Tarina, it's okay for you to share this in a group. Absolutely. Um, thank you so much. Hey, um, over there in, uh, YouTube land. YouTube land. YouTube land. So I've been learning how to take, you know, do more self-care, and I make no apologies for it. The title of this video once again is Are You an Asset? And when I say are you an asset, I'm talking about a woman who once again understands who she is, but at the same time At the same time, she's a woman of value. She's a woman that's about her business. She's a woman that doesn't scream and run around talking about, I'm independent, I'm independent. No, she understands the importance of being interdependent. She understands the importance of being resilient versus running around saying I'm strong. And she doesn't get upset if you're walking around saying you're strong all the time. Don't get upset if anybody— nobody ever comes to your rescue because you're always talking about how strong you are. So Normally people, when we hear people's how strong they are, we don't really don't try to come to their rescue. So being an asset woman is a balanced woman, you know, it's a balanced woman. And so for those of you that are asking, April, is it time? Is it time? Yes, darlings, it is time. The book is early release. Actually, it wasn't supposed to be released until August 1st, but Amazon did what they wanted to do and released the book early. And a lot of you have already been buying the book and got it in the mail already saying, April, I got your book. So yes, the book is finally here, Are You an Asset? 11 Keys to Being a Woman Who Brings More to the Table Than Her Appetite. And so here's the deal, this is what I'm going to talk to you about.

So you can get it at Barnes Noble and over 39,000 places that books are are sold. So I'm so excited that the book is in Barnes Noble, uh, available through Barnes Noble, available through Amazon. And so, you know, it took me a little while, you know, a little while to get this finished, but I'm glad I did it. And I think you're going to enjoy it. And what this book is about is about 11 keys to being a woman who brings more to the table than her appetite, as well as It goes deeper into not what you look like, not what you have. And to be honest with you, is it available on Kindle? Yes, girl, it's available on Kindle. And I'm gonna give you guys information on how you can get my other digital book, How to Become an Asset Woman, that woman that men adore. That one, I get a lot of great reviews on that one as well. But I'm gonna show you how— I'm gonna tell you in a minute how you can get that ebook for free. When— once you— once you get this one, you're entitled to a free ebook from me, and it's— this is helping you become the asset woman that you need to be for yourself. The other book is Becoming an Asset Woman That Men Adore. That one you're gonna want to get. I'm gonna give it to you absolutely free. But before I tell you how to get that book for free, this book is all about being a balanced woman. For me, I didn't know what it meant to be balanced. I've been a full-time entrepreneur for 15 years, um, And with that, I didn't know how to balance my life. I knew how to be the mother. I knew how to be the, um, the, you know, the— when I was married, I knew how to be the wife. I knew how to be the sister. I needed to be the mentor. I knew how to be all of those things, right? But I didn't know how to be a balanced woman. And in this book, what I did was I said, I need to find who is the balanced woman, you know, who is the balanced woman? And I couldn't find a woman that actually represented my definition of an asset woman who who had it all. In the back of the book, it says, you can have it all and all at one time. I know Oprah said you can't have it all and all at one time, but April Mason says you can have it all and all at one time. It's all about the way you process information and what you want for your life. So when I wrote this book, I had to think about who is it that represents what a balanced woman should look like, because I never really seen that. And I took a story from, you know, growing up I was raised, um, religious. I'm no longer religious, but I do think that you can find wisdom in a lot of everything. So I was looking around, I said, who is the woman that is actually depicted as this asset woman that had it all? She had, you know, she, she had her man, she had a husband, she took care of her family, she gave to the poor, she did all of these wonderful things. Where can I find this woman? So I found this woman in the Proverbs 31 Woman. Does— you don't have to be religious, this is not a Christian book or a religious book. What I did was I I took this, the keys from her, and, and I made it into what it actually looked like. Because growing up, I was taught about her, but I didn't— wasn't taught how to be her. You heard a lot of women say, oh, I'm a Proverbs 31 woman, I'm a virtuous woman. No, virtuous women are not born, they are made. So I said, let me read this story over again. And it wasn't a long passage, so let me read this story. And as I read the story of her, I pulled out 11 keys that made her who she was and broke them down into how-tos that you can apply it, you know, practical application. Because I get— I got so tired of hearing people say, be this woman, and I'm like, what, what is— how does she do that? How, you know, how did she do all of the things that she did? So I picked out, um, the key. So some of the keys in the book, I'll read you some of the chapters. And the title, it's a, it's a quick read, and I wrote it to be a quick read so that you can start applying the information now. So for me, I'm one of those with the people that like to have information that I can digest quickly so I can apply it, so I can apply it to my life quickly, so I can get the results that I need to get quickly. So the first chapter is all about femininity. So I, I can't talk to you about being an asset woman without talking to you about the importance of femininity. It's very important, YouTube. Okay, ladies, it's very important over there on Facebook and Instagram. Being a feminine woman, it wasn't until Well, before I even tell you why I got into it, uh, in the introduction you'll be able to read my story of how I was given an award. I went to an award show in 2013, if I'm not mistaken. 2013, I went to an award show, um, and it was about 700 women there, and 30 women got an award, and maybe 4 or 5 of them thanked a spouse. And I was like, wow, you know, no one thanked a man in their life. These women, they were all from all over the country getting these awards for different, um, areas of, you know, their profession. So I'm like, okay, you know, but no one ever thanked really a man, but maybe 3 to 5, maybe 5. And so I thought— I was sitting around the room and I said, hmm, I wonder how many women are here in here married. Because you got to remember, this wasn't a— this was an event for successful entrepreneurs, women on the move, women about their business, as they would consider— call themselves bosses, right? Those— that, that's what it was about. So it made me think, you know, forget about how many are being married, how many are actually dating, you know? That's why I don't teach marriage, I teach about getting back into the groove of even dating and putting yourself out there. So all these women were getting these awards, about— it had to be about 700, 800 women in the room. Well, fast forward 2 years after that. Guess who got the award for Entrepreneur Innovator? It's sitting— do I have to— I think it's sitting right here. Hold on. The award is sitting right here. So sorry, sorry. Here's my award right here. This is the award that I received for— and I gotta clean it, I'm sorry— that I received for Entrepreneur Innovator. And this was in September 13th, 2014, so almost 4 years ago, April Mason got the same award and was on the same platform. And I also was one of those women that did not have a balanced life. I put all of my efforts into my work, which got me this award, but I didn't have a man. I just went through a bad breakup in January and I wasn't dating. But I got the award for being an innovator and an entrepreneur. I got this award, right? And so although I was happy about the award and although I was grateful, I was sad at the same time because I had put all of those years into my work and I've been recognized all over the country and received— I got all kinds of awards over here, um, that I received for my work. But one of the things that I desire the most I did not have, and that was a successful relationship. I have been through divorce, um, and I, you know, didn't— wasn't— I was in a relationship that would have been okay. It was better, but it was not best for me. So I had to let that go. And at that moment, I decided I don't want to do this again. I'm going to take the time to get this right. I'll never be perfect. I'll never know everything. But Instagram I did want to be a better woman. So what did I need to do? So when you start reading the introduction of the book, it'll go into exactly what happened of how I transformed into the woman that you see today. I had to take a step back, and, and I encourage you to take a step back as well. So as I wrote the book— where did— oh, I dropped it. I'm sorry. As I wrote this book, what I did is I I took years off of what I had to go through to get to who I am, and I just gave you the meat and potatoes of what it took for me to get to that place. So the first chapter is all about femininity, and I talk about the importance of femininity. You know, it is so important, ladies, when I tell you being strong and independent and I got this and, you know, I have my house and I don't need nobody— that's not what you want. Because to be honest with you, You really would love some support. You really would love an amazing man that's there for you to support you. The more you get into your femininity, the more money you make. I'm a witness to it. Uh, Tanya and I— y'all know my best friend Tanya— we were talking about it and she was like, wow, Maze. I said, Tanya, the more you get in your femininity, you're gonna make more money, honey. And everything is connected. Your spirituality, your femininity, and your sensuality, it's interconnected. And the more I understood that and stopped trying to separate— April, okay, you've been teaching entrepreneurship for years, so keep teaching that. And then try to separate— now you're teaching this. No, it all comes together. It made so much sense why I had to go through so many transitions of even with my brand of— okay, I was teaching the entrepreneurship, and then I was teaching people how to overcome traumas and molestation and the divorce. I was teaching that. And now I'm like, God, you have me on the relationship piece. What— how does that all work? And it's like, it all goes together. You've been trying to separate them for all of these years, but I had to take you through the process to— so you could be thorough in each one. So when it's time to intertwine them, which is why Are You an Asset, um, is here, that you, you will be well-versed. So I had to go through years of teaching only entrepreneurship. I had to go through years of only teaching people how to overcome their traumas of, like I said, divorce, domestic violence, rape, homelessness. I've gone through those, those things, and I took— I had to it's been years that I've had to teach. It started off as Single No More. Single No More, for those of you who've been following me, Single No More started in 2012. So now all of them have come together under one umbrella of Are You an Asset? Because it takes all of those components to be what I deem and what I believe is an asset woman. And the Proverbs 31 woman actually is a great example of that. So You have a chapter on femininity. You have a chapter on class. I believe the Proverbs 31 woman was a woman of class. If you read her story, um, you'll understand she operated as a classy woman. I have a chapter, ladies, and this— if you don't read any other chapter of this book, the chapter on wisdom, what it means to be a wise woman, because I always say there's a difference between a woman and a wise woman. YouTube, I need you guys being wise women versus women— a woman just, she runs away, let her emotions run away with her. A wise woman controls her emotions and, and she knows when to speak and when not to speak. And it doesn't mean she's being weak, because I always teach you guys sweet does not equal weak at all. So there's a chapter on wisdom, there's a chapter on self-love, and I give exercises on how to, um, employ self-love into your life. There's a chapter on being organized because there's so many of you beautiful women out there who really want to improve their life, but you always say, "I don't have time." You're a part of the busy crew. I'm busy, I'm busy, I'm busy. And in this, I even break down, I even give you a schedule that I've been using since my— my son is 22. I've been using since he was in the 5th grade. So I show you how to actually organize your day. The Proverbs 31 Woman would not have been able to do everything that she did if she did not have an organized life. So there's so much that you want to do, but you don't feel like you have the time to do it. And you actually do. You have as much time as you are willing to put in. So I wrote about that, and I also wrote about this part. Now this is gonna be a funny chapter. It's gonna make you laugh, but it's all about health. One of the passages says that she works vigorously with her arms, her hands. And the only way you can work vigorously like that and do what she did, you had to have a healthy lifestyle. So even a part of my I'm an Asset Women's Network, our 5 pillars are faith, family, finances, fitness, and femininity, because I believe those are the components that make up a balanced woman. We can no longer keep giving ourselves to one thing, but yet we're lacking in another. We don't have time for that because we have legacies to leave, to leave, to leave. We have empires to build, you know, we have communities. One of the chapters in here is about asset woman is a woman about the community. She's a woman of service.

I really, like I said, I hadn't been doing any work. But I feel inspired tonight. That's why I decided to come live and talk to you guys about the book, because you've been asking, April, when is the book available? And the book is actually available right now. Buy some copies for yourself, buy some copies for, you know, for other people you know. Um, what if you haven't read the book by then?

So with that, once you read the book, once you write the review, and once you email us the picture of you holding the book, we will email you the free book. So everything has to be done before August 1st. So make time, baby, make time. And also tell me what your favorite chapter is, you know, um, which would be great if you can't read it all in, you know, one time, which I don't understand. Because we do— we make priority what we want to make priority. And I just believe that getting yourself together and becoming an asset woman should be the number one thing on your list, because everything else you're doing, you're doing from a place of survival. And I want you to thrive. Asset women thrive, baby. That's what we do. But we make time in order to get the information that we need in order to thrive. I was talking to, um, someone tonight and he said You know, people always say what's meant for me is for me. And yeah, you know what, what is meant for you is for you, but if you don't pick it up, it's gonna go on to somebody else. Because what the Creator won't do is waste his goodness on somebody that is not willing to pick it up. And I believe we use that as an excuse not to make moves. And I'm saying it's time to make moves. If your money isn't right, if you don't have enough zeros in your bank account before the decimal— oh, by the way, yes, there is. Of course, I could not do a book without doing a chapter on entrepreneurship. So I give you ideas on how to make money. If you, if you're trying to start a business, I got that in here. If you're not trying to start a business but you want to make money, I got that in here too. The book is called Are You an Asset? 11 Keys to Being a Woman Who Brings More to the Table Than Her Appetite. If you go to Amazon and just put my name in, um, the books will come up. Okay. And so yes, I do have a chapter about money, honey. Of course, because asset women, we are supposed to have reserve. If you don't have reserve, if you don't— if you're not a woman that— if you're living from paycheck to paycheck, that is not how the Creator wanted you to live. Because when you're living paycheck to paycheck, you're in worry mode, you're in survival mode. You can't really focus on you because you got to worry about if I'm going to have enough. It's time to live in abundance. And in the book, I'm going to show you how to do that. If you're just paycheck to paycheck in it, you won't have room for anything else. You won't have room to date. A lot of you asking me, Ms. April, I really want to learn how to— I want to start dating. Well, before I can get you to dating, I need to get you learning what it means to be an asset woman. And a lot of times, if our money isn't right, we don't want to, um, We don't want to go out there and date. Um, Miss Grant said chapters 6, 9, and 10 are my favorite. But yeah, you done read the book already. Let's see, chapter 10. But let's see, what's chapter 6? Chapter 6 is— let's see. Ah, chapter 6 is me being Miss Independent. Chapter 9 is wisdom, and chapter 10 is entrepreneurship. Thank you so much, Miss Grant, uh, for that. Jazz Nicole said, just ordered mine and I can't wait till it gets here. Thank you so much, Jazz Nicole. Make sure you send me that picture and write a review when you read it so we can post it. And I want as many women as possible— my goal for writing this book and honestly doing what I do, you guys, is to change the standard of today's woman, to get back to what really made us women. We've gotten so hard. We've— and I know we've had to do things because we've had to do them. I get it, I understand it. But at the same time, just because things have been out of place does not mean we have to get— we have to get out of place. Trinda said, oh, chapter 6. Yes, chapter 6 is Miss Independent, honey, and I really go in about being that independent woman. And, uh, you gonna get your life, you'll get your whole entire future in chapter 6. You'll get your whole entire future there. But my goal is to help women get back to what we really desire. We really desire to be softer, gentler women. We really desire not to have to have the weight of, of the world on our shoulders. We really desire, if we honest, we really desire to attract someone, an amazing man into our lives that can support us, that, that we can be vulnerable with and that can protect us. That's what we really want. If we're honest, if we don't live in the comma, meaning I want a good man, but if you just say I want a good man, period, We— that's what we really want, no matter how you try to play it or how you try to act like you don't. Well, we gotta stop lying to ourselves. And I, I believe that the thing that you must do in order to get that starts with the 11 keys in this book. Because if you're trying to sell men on how, how much money you have, the fact that you have a degree, the fact that you are part of this organization, the fact that, you know, you have good credit or you were able to buy your own house and you drive this kind of car, That's not what— is not what men marry women or choose women on. Those are added bonuses and those are good to have. I'm never going to tell you not to go get your— you get your money, make sure, you know, you live, you know, nice and you take care of yourself. I do that, but I don't lead with that. And we've been taught to lead with those things, and then we wonder why when we see the man that we like and we like, wait a minute, he got with somebody that's not even— she don't even have as much as I do. And we're talking about from a material standpoint or a degree standpoint, but she has the woman qualities that he's looking for. Because most men do not— the majority, it's safe to say, and when I say this on my Instagram or YouTube or Facebook, majority of the fellas agree— they don't marry women based upon those things. Those are added bonuses. And you can have your added bonuses, but you don't lead with added bonuses. You lead with, who am I as a woman if I didn't have a degree, if I didn't make six figures or a high five figures, if I didn't drive a nice car, if I didn't have a nice house, if I didn't have good credit, if I wasn't a part of social organizations, you know, if I didn't have a successful career, who am I? If you cannot answer that question, which when I went on tour last year, my Redesign Your Life Tour, 98% or high 99% of women could not answer that. When I asked who they were, they told me what they did. They told me that they were the mom. They told me that they were, you know, I'm a teacher, or I work for the government, whatever that their thing was. They told me what that was. That wasn't the question that I asked. I asked, who are you? And you— we have wrapped our identity in what we have accomplished, and that is not all of who we are. That's what we have accomplished, but that's not what we are. Because if those things were stripped away from you today, who are you as a woman? Who are you? So that's all I had to share with you guys tonight. I want to go continue to listen to my jazz. And, um, you know, I'm wide awake because I took an afternoon nap, so So I'm gonna listen to my jazz, and I cleaned my house already, and just go and sit back and chill out. Maybe go watch episode 6 of, uh, Love Is. I didn't watch it on Monday night, so go watch the rest of that. Uh, Adventures Traveler on YouTube said, just ordered my copy. Woo woo! Thank you guys so much. Thank you guys so much. Share with other people. Let the ladies know. I'm, I'm so excited. I'm planning another event, you guys. Um, And because we're getting ready to finally— and I've been, I've been really taking my time with it, but I'm finally ready to launch the I'm An Asset Women's Network. Currently we have over 6,000 women in the network, and I'm ready to officially launch it. And I'm getting my team together. And sometimes what will happen is you'll want to launch something before it's time. And every time I want to launch it, I got to get more information. So I said, you know what, I would rather sit back and get the information that I need because I want to bring you guys the best women's organization that you've ever seen that deals with the whole woman, not just the money part, not just being an entrepreneur. I want to bring you the woman, the asset woman that you need to be. Um, someone said, is it available in Nigeria? If you can get on Amazon in Nigeria, absolutely. Um, it is. Um, I'm not sure. I know it's available in, uh, in the UK. Uh, if you guys have Barnes Noble over there in the— in Nigeria, you can ask them to look up the book in their database and they can order it for you. So it is available through over— at over 39,000 retailers across the country. So I'm proud of myself. I'm proud of myself. So that means more women are able to get the book. And one of the things that I noticed is, um, the millennials are really starting to follow. And I, mwah, I thank you guys so much. And what it is, is they've seen their moms be strong, independent women. They seen their moms not have a man around. They see, they seen their moms broken and not happy and not having, having successful relationships. And what's happened is they said, I don't want to be like that. Okay, so I'm really proud of the millennials, and the more we can help them become wise women— because you got to remember, we don't have the mothers and the grandmothers around that's imparting wisdom. And so I get a lot of women and say, April, you like that mom or that, that auntie that I didn't have that's helping guide me. And you gotta— for me, I appreciate that, but I have a tribe of women that are wiser than I am and older than I am that I listen to. So when I'm on this journey, I'm not on this journey just coming up with stuff out the side of my head and my neck. I have accountability with my spiritual moms and the women in my life that I respect, and that, you know, they'll check me when they need to check me. You know, I'm okay with that. That's what they'll do. So I believe that it's time for us as women, if we want to see a shift in the atmosphere in this country, the more we employ back to our femininity, the more we'll see change. You can't act like a man and, you know, and operate like a man would and think like a man would and expect a different result. You ever have a conversation with a man and you're doing all this and you— he start talking to you like a dude? You like, I'm not no dude, why are you talking to me like a dude? Well, you're stepping to him in an aggressive manner like a man would, so instinctively he's going to automatically respond to you in the same way. And have you ever dealt with a man that responds to you like a, um, like a female, and you feel like you're dealing with a catty female, and then you automatically deal with him like a catty female? It's because of what's being presented. So no matter what You know, we, we think how we are positioning ourselves matter. And my thing is, I want my granddaughter to know— granddaughters to know— that it's okay to be a lady. It's okay to be a woman of class, a woman of integrity. It's okay to be a woman that uses her words, is wise about the words that she chooses to use. I want my granddaughters to know that just because she's sweet doesn't make her weak. A woman that knows that how to actually talk to a man, you know, why should we have to talk to him this way? Why can't we just say what we want to say? Well, because men and women are different. And what I have done is I've just accepted what is versus trying to change it. And to me, it's like trying to give a cat dog food and wonder why the cat isn't taking it, because that's not what they eat. So I just become acceptance now. Is everything, um, fair? No. But at the end of the day, it's what it is. It's a double standard. We have double standards. Men have double standards. It's just what it is. I just learned how to be accepting of it and use it to my advantage, you know. So that's all I have to share with you guys. Thank you so much.
