Oh yeah, or if y'all want to ask me questions though too, because I remember last time we did the, the Ask Ash Cash thing. Um, let's listen to some E.T. Super 582, what up? Um, Ranking, thank you for the badge love. Let's see, let's see, let's see. You are forty. I try not to yell, but I know, I know, I know it's getting you to be. Peace, love, positivity. I'm at the barber. Have you ever interviewed any barbers before? Nah, never. Nah, I never interviewed a barber yet. Did I interview any barbers? I don't think I interviewed any barbers yet. Um, let the dream destroy you. Let the dream destroy you.

Aggressive people finish first. It is what it is. Y'all from New York, you know what I'm talking about. I'm just for real. You come to New York, I promise you, if you don't want to get harassed, stay in the house.

I'm in room 111.

You in New York? You in New York? It's 80 degrees, bro.

If you know, you know. 111, that's that spiritual number.

Buy. Boom. You want an umbrella?

I'm like, yeah, I need an umbrella.

You know what I'm saying? They don't be playing in New York. They got everything for everything. My man was like, I was listening to the podcast. I heard your girl got— I got the Jelenia on discount, bro. I'm like, on discount? Discount, bro. Y'all look great.

And it ain't like—

I'm good on the sunglasses. No, bro. Sunglasses. These sunglasses. I'm good on that. No, bro. Sunglasses. I'm like, no, bro. I'm good on the sunglasses. You sure, bro? I'm like, I'm sure. Like, you just got aggressive. Like, you gonna make me buy the glasses? So I had to realize I was delusional. I thought if you were a good person and you do right by people, that people will take your kindness and give you kindness back. But what I realized is sometimes in this world, the kinder you are, the more they try to play you like a fool. I was delusional. I'm nice to you, you nice to me. Don't always work like that. Sometimes it's nice to me and I take advantage of you.

I discovered you—

so some of y'all, you delusional.

I just need you to do me a favor. When you are delusional, you can never get the outcomes you want because you—

the premise in which you're operating from is a lie. So you got to work from truth, and some of us don't want to deal with truth because it's so difficult. E.T., you dropped out of school. E.T., you grew up in a certain community. In order for you to be able to—

oh man, you're my fault, y'all.

That if you can just admit you don't have it in your arsenal, then you can go get it.

But yeah, what up?

You don't have it, you'll never be able to go straight to the top. I need you to be real.

The reason why a lot of y'all don't want to be real, because some of you would rather be in there. I don't know if I'm doing live events anymore.

Not have anything at all.

I don't know if we announced it though, but, um, right, I got—

you already know that job, your boss ain't about to cash you out. You're just scared to quit and start your own business because you don't know if you're gonna do well or not. You know you shouldn't. Come on, be honest. You know you still shouldn't be at that job right now. Let me see your hand. Yeah. Let's just be real. Let me see your hand. You know you shouldn't still— raise it high. Don't play with me. Raise it high. You still shouldn't be at that job, but you're delusional that one day is gonna be your day, that one day you're gonna merge your job and your, your calling together. It's not gonna happen. You're gonna have to just leave. Oh, the dream will destroy you.

All right, let it.

The first version of Eric Thomas would never be able to stand in front of you guys. The first version of Eric Thomas, a high school dropout, that guy would have never been able to stand here and help you. I had to destroy that Eric Thomas, that Eric Thomas that grew up in Detroit and had like that Detroit mentality. While I love it, it doesn't transfer to everything. Let the dream destroy you. Let it strip you. Let it remake and mold you. Don't be afraid. Some of you afraid. Listen to me. Wherever you from, if that's where you from, you can always come back. I promise you. I promise you, when you come back, you can get right back in the conversation. Ain't nothing gonna change. I promise you, whatever world you're from, if you go to other worlds, you can always go back to that world. Are you listening to me? Let it destroy you. So I was talking to a coach yesterday, NBA coach. Um, I've been wanting this opportunity for my whole life, for a long, long time. And Coach called me, right? Let it destroy you. And my, my natural personality is for real, bro. I want to borrow them, you know? Let's, let's do it, you know what I'm saying? I'll give you this, you give me that.

Let's borrow them.

We ain't got necessarily exchange money, but let's borrow them. So Coach hit me up and was like, yo, we'd love to, you know, uh, we'd love to have you come to practice. We love to bring you to the games, like to have you on the jumbo screen. We love to have you come out and the crowd meet you. I was like, that's cool, Coach, but I eat not from the NBA. I don't do— I got— I could have been in any Alabama game.

I ain't been in none.

I don't do that, Coach.

I need—

I need a check. I hit C, like, see, I need this letter. Can you write this for me? I'm gonna send it. Destroyed me. Meaning that, you know how hard it was to send that letter? Because I understood if I sent that letter, that letter was only going to do one or two things. That's what you're scared of. You scared. You you scared to get to the real answer. Once I sent my man that letter, only two things gonna happen: one, he gonna pay me, or two, he gonna say no thank you. That's what you afraid of. You afraid to get to the real answer. And yes, while they hurt, I let it destroy me. Meaning what? Every time I do it, it's that much easier for me to do. And what I had to think about was, yo bro, if you don't want to pay me, you know what I mean?

Looking out for you.

Why? Because you getting a check. That's what I love about folk, bro. You getting a check. You making millions as a coach. If you really think I'm as good as you think I am, and you just told me what I could do for you, every time they do better, then why wouldn't you give me a check?

So really, look, I, I gotta— we, we go— we gonna make this like an answer, uh, answer session because, um, Yeah, because I'm gonna fall asleep on y'all. I'm gonna be— I'm gonna just be 100% honest. Like, if, if I just let the music play, I'm gonna fall asleep. So yeah, y'all go for the next— for the next 40 minutes, because I— because I committed for the next 40 minutes. Um, y'all gonna actually— y'all gonna have to ask me some questions, yo, because I'm gonna fall asleep. Like, I— like, I— there's no way I could like listen to this, and I've been up since 2 in the morning. Y'all gonna have to ask me some questions, so Like, I gotta talk. If I don't talk, I'm gonna bet. Um, when's the live event? So Julian and I, um, we were supposed to have the live event, uh, the Money Reprogram event in September. Um, but we had to reschedule, uh, because Julian lives in New Orleans and a lot of people were coming to Atlanta. Um, you know, Ida kind of messed things up, and so we're gonna push it to January. Um, uh, I believe everybody bought tickets, uh, emails have been sent out, but I'll double-check. So, uh, as of now, I don't know. Um, yeah, I don't believe that I have any, any live events. Um, so I think we're good there. Uh, Tiffany Johnson says, uh, yo Ash, what do you say to those that don't have— what do you say to those that don't have the get it out the mud story?

Um, I—

the get it out the mud story is not the prerequisite for success. Um, I think that, that, um, if— if the truth of the matter is that if, if you, uh, you should just stick to your story, right? So like, I, like, I believe that I'm effective because Um, I, you know, my story is my story. So I don't— I didn't, you know, I didn't create a story to be effective. Um, I was just effective and then I added my story to that, right? So I'll give you a prime example. Um, my brother Julian Gordon. Uh, Julian Gordon does not have a get out the mud story. Does not. Um, he had both parents, both his parents were professionals. Middle class, like, but he also, um, he doesn't hide this, you know, he doesn't hide his story. He talks about his story. He, you know, he shares his story. Um, he's still a credible messenger. And so, um, I think that regardless of, you know, you know, where you come from, regardless of what your background is, like, you could, like, like, you could, you could have grown up rich and still have a story that people could connect to, you know what I'm saying? Um, and so yeah, I don't, you know, I don't think that, uh, get it out the mud is a prerequisite for success. I think that the, the, the truth of the matter is that the value comes first. The story is not the value, you know what I'm saying? Meaning that if I didn't grow up in the hood, I'm still a genius though. I'm saying? Like, I'm still a genius. I still, um, have the ability to take complex, um, ideas and break them down, you know, so that the everyday person could, could understand them. Like, that's my genius. Like, like, like, I'm very good at that, you know? Um, and so whether I had a story or not, I would still be relatively successful because, um, that's a value that people need. Um, and so I could provide that value to somebody, you know what I'm saying? Uh, and then I sell my value by telling my story, you know what I'm saying? So, uh, so yeah, you know, I don't— you know, I don't think that getting out the mud is, is the, um, prerequisite for success, right? Because there are people who get out the mud and they're still in the mud. There are people who got it out the mud and they, you know, they good now. There's people that were, that were, that were, you know, rich and they not rich. There's people that's rich and they stay rich. You know what I'm saying? Like, like there isn't no one, you know, one way. So, uh, yeah, I would just say focus on, you know, what, what value, what value are you bringing out to the world? And then, you know, connect that value to your story, whatever your story is.

You know what I'm saying?

Um, Uh, Laquita, thank you for the badge love, appreciate you. Question, if you in the— if you're in business with somebody, you holding up your end, and suddenly, um, and they suddenly renege on you, how do you handle that? Um, I mean, it depends, right? Because, uh, it depends on what their end is, right? Meaning that Um, you know, if it's a business, so, so, so, so it really depends, right? So it depends on this. It depends on, um, what value they're bringing to the business, you know what I'm saying? Uh, number one. Number two, it depends on, you know, what, um, you know, you know, what's the structure of the business, right? Meaning like, uh, how do y'all get paid, you know what I'm saying? As money's coming you know, if y'all making money, as money is coming in, do y'all, do y'all split 50/50? Like, how are y'all splitting that money? Um, I mean, for me, I've been, I've been in those type of situations before, and I'll be honest, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, you know what I'm saying? And so I— so what I usually do, what I usually do is I take the person out of the business, not physically but mentally. I say, yo, if this, if this person wasn't in this business, would this business still function? Uh, and if the answer is yes, then I don't— why am I in business with them? You know what I'm saying? Um, but if, but if, but if, if, if, if I assess and I'm like, well, if this person wasn't in the, in this business, um, you know, this skill set or, or something would be missing from the business and I wouldn't be successful in the business, then Then I need that person, and I need to just figure out how to get them back on the same page. You know what I'm saying? So I think you know it really depends. Um, uh, we all feel that. Yo, yes, I feel you. Yo, I'm telling you. Um, little too toxic. Salute. Are you working on any new tracks for Mind Right Radio? Yeah, I mean honestly with Mind Right Radio. Also, thank you for reminding me, right? So everybody who got Mind Right Radio VIP, I canceled your subscription. So if you have— if you are a VIP member, if you are a VIP member, I need you to go back to mindrightradiovip.com and resubscribe because we were having issues. We were having issues with the, with the platform that I was using. And so what I did was is that I just added it to Mind Right Money Academy, right? So it's like a course there, same price, $4.99 a month. Um, I, I'm like halfway through the, through the uploads. I just have to upload the rest of them. Um, but, but nobody's gonna get charged going forward for, for their VIP access. So you have to re— you have to resubscribe. So don't— you know what I mean? If you go to mindrightradiovip.com, um, you can subscribe, resubscribe Um, and then, and then you'll be good to go. No, no more mistakes or no more blips, so we should be good to go. Um, as far as adding new tracks, yeah, I think— I mean, the last 2 weeks have been super duper busy for me, um, so I really didn't have time to add anything. Um, but yeah, if y'all have any suggestions of people I should add, please let me know. Uh, but we're constantly adding. I think I'm at like 70-something tracks right now. Uh, but yeah, we're constantly adding. Um, you know, to the station. So for sure, we'll definitely add some. Um, uh, I'm JP Rich says I got— yo, yo, I'm, I'm beard oil out. I'm gonna be honest with you, I got so much beard oil. Yo, yo, yo, I got mad beard oil. Like, I'm beard oiled out. I got mad beard oil. Um, I use this on a daily basis. It's come. It's growing though, because like it's growing. Um, it's just taking a sweet old time. Um, yes. So I appreciate you, my G, but I I do not have no no space. I got yeah. I think I got a whole thing upstairs. Uh, in my in my in my closet that I don't even I don't even use like that. Only reason I use this one when y'all be seeing me do this, that's just because it's it's here. You know what I'm saying? That's just because it's it's it's at the office, so I use it. But yeah, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good on the beard oil for sure. Yeah, I want to grow a big beard. I don't know how I'm gonna do that, but I guess my— the way my hair grows, it just don't grow like— go grow like that. Um, let's see, let's see, let's see. Where's CJ? Thank you for the badge, love. Um, Butterfly Thoughts, Grand Rising. Um, Sim about staying true to you, so that's a fact. Value first in the story, impact. Thank you for the confirmation. That's my pleasure. Uh, Insta Warren, salute. Uh, Sim says, what's the value in networking and building deeper connections in your field? Uh, yo, connections are everything. Connections are more important than money, to be honest with you, you know what I'm saying? Like, um, anytime Honestly, any like big deals that I get or anything that I get that's like life-changing or whatever, it's always because of somebody I knew or somebody who knew me, you know what I'm saying? And so the more connections you build, the more opportunity you have, right? So like, you know, somebody— you could meet somebody right now that could, that could, you know, make you 6 figures, you know what I mean, quick, uh, but, but if you, if you never networked, if you never built with them, you know what I'm saying, then they wouldn't trust you, they wouldn't give you that opportunity. Um, and so, you know, you know, networking and building deeper connections is, is, is vital. Like, that is vital, you know, to do. Um, so yeah, I would, I would, I would definitely, um, you know, I would definitely look, you know, look, look to that more for sure. Like, building, you know, connections within your field. Salute, salute. Um, uh, how consistent should you post on social media, uh, to build a following? Um, so I'll be honest, because the algorithm is different now, the algorithm is not really based on consistency. The algorithm is based on value of content, right? And so when you post on social, are, are you posting valuable stuff that people are liking? People are saving for later, and people are sharing, right? If those so in order, are people saving your stuff, right? And so if if if um if you post something when you look at your insights, are people saving it? Are people sharing it with their people? And then are people liking it, right? That's important to know because um. I have posts from like 3 days ago that is still going crazy, you know what I'm saying? Because it's— it was— it's shared so much, you know what I'm saying? Like, it was— it was been shared so much. And, you know, not like before, um, you know, Instagram, Facebook, they used to do it in chronological order, so based on when you post it. But now it's really based on, um, who's following you, is, you know, they kind of mix it around. Um, so I would just say just be consistent, uh, with, with your value, right? Um, I would pretend— oh, Ramiah, you could maybe jump in, but I would potentially say, you know, it's good for somebody to post maybe, uh, 2 to 4 times per day, uh, but just make sure that the content that you're, that you're putting out is valuable. I mean, uh, taking my ass Yeah, uh, salute, salute. Oh yeah, I don't know what— I don't know. Hold up, wait, nephew. I don't know what, what, uh, I don't know what— I don't know what was that saying. But to Nation I'm Chosen, what advice can you give someone to start a book while they save up to join your Write a Book in 30 Days program? Asking for a friend. Um, I need to do some, some, uh, some free, um, master class. But, um, I would say, uh, to start with the end in mind, you know what I'm saying? So before you even write, you know, before you even write anything, um, just, you know, make sure that you know what you're gonna write. Um, I think a lot of people just, you know, kind of like, oh, I wanna, I wanna write a book. Uh, but they're not, uh, clear about what the content is. Um, they're not clear about who their audience is. Um, and I think that's very important. Um, so I would start there. I would start with the end in mind. So when I, you know, when I wrote, like, for instance, From the Block to the Bank, when I wrote that, I knew that I wanted to reach people, um, from a certain demographic who had the get it out the mud story. Um, and so that was my intent. Um, and so I needed a title, you know, that, that could inspire people. I needed, um, you know, principles that could inspire them. Um, and so I started from the end. I said, this is what, what I want the book to do. And then I worked my way backwards. I said, all right, in order for the book to do this, what are the steps that need to be taken in order to do that? And so, um, so yeah, so that was, that was it. Brandon Lee, that that Lecrae interview was fire. I appreciate you, King. Thank you. Thank you. James Coleman in the building. Salute, salute, salute. Ill Flow, peace, King. Salute, salute. Still Rocks Two Nine, salute. Um, Kelvin Palmer in the building. All right. Uh, sheesh. I'm trying to push through, y'all. I might have to um. Yes, I had to wrap up. Um, I was wondering what happened, uh, with VIP Radio. I will resubscribe. Yeah, it was weird because PayPal was doing this thing about— I don't know what happened. People was trying to log in, they weren't able to log in. Um, yeah, so I had to— I had to, you know what I'm saying, I had to like tear down the whole system and then rebuild it, you know what I'm saying. Uh, what kind of beard oil you use? I don't even know, to be honest. Um, people just be sending me stuff. This one is called Dragonfly. Uh, so I met, I met this lady, uh, I met this lady, um, I was, I was at Moe's, uh, First Lady and I were at Moe's buying some stuff and she saw, she saw the patches in my beard, so she was just like, oh, I got something that could help fill that in. Um, and so, you know, I ordered it Um, you know, just to support too. But this one is called Dragonfly, uh, Dragonfly Essentials. She's on Instagram too. Um, but I— you— I'm, I'm using this for now. Uh, it has been helping, you know, a little bit. But, you know, the, you know, the, the patch is still there, but, you know, not as much. So it has been helping a little bit. Depends on how I brush it or whatever. Uh, but yeah, that's what I'm using right now. Uh, In other words, don't send me no beard oil. I'm just saying, like, I'm, I'm beard oiled out. Like, I promise you. Um, Uh, what are the different programs you offer? Um, I have, uh, Mind Right Money Academy. So that's our private mastermind program. Um, we meet once a week, um, and we, you know, we build. So that's, uh, available at mindrightmoneyacademy.com. Um, I have, I have, uh, my book, um, writing program. So, um, you know, my Book in 30 Days, uh, that teaches you how to, uh, you know, write and publish a book in 30 days. Um, I, I started narrowing stuff down, so those are the only 2 I'm really focusing on. Um, I do have a program coming out in October, um, which will teach people how to make, uh, 6 figures from books. Um, and so it'll teach you how to create 15 different streams of income from your one book and how to create 6 figures doing that. Um, and so that's coming soon. And other than that, my books, ashcashbooks.com. Uh, my merchandise, ashcashmerch.com. Um, yeah, myrightmoneyacademy.com. I got different, you know, um, courses and stuff as well. But that's, but that's, you know, that's it. Um, I don't do one-on-ones anymore. Um, I used to do one-on— I used to have programs doing one-on-ones. I don't do one-on-ones anymore. Um, don't do credit repair, you know what I mean? Like, just narrowing it down, just the money, money, the mastermind program, and then the, the book program. Uh, support ashcashbooks.com, ashcashmerch.com, mybookin30days.com. Um, yeah, support, you know what I'm saying? But that— don't support just for the money. Support because I'm gonna get you right. I'm saying, uh, what do you do when you feel like you've hit a brick wall in business? Um, I've been a bit off this week, mentally detached from it. Um, I would, I would take a nap. Uh, when you feel like you— when you feel like you hit a brick wall, take a nap. Go to bed. Um, quiet the mind. Meditate. Uh, watch comedy, laugh, have fun, um, and then, and then, and then regroup. Um, a lot of times, um, it's not that, that we hit brick walls, it's just that we are mentally exhausted. Uh, we can't think clear. Um, and so we are— we don't know what, what our next steps need to be. Uh, but when we meditate, when we, you know, laugh even, um, you know, when we take, you know, time off to, to get— just to get clear, uh, the answers start to come, um, and then you'll know, you'll know what to do. You'll know whether— what tweaks to make in your business, whether it's time to go shift to another business, um. Yeah, so I would just say relax a little bit, you know what I'm saying? When, uh, when you think you don't got time to take a break, that's when you should take a break, baby. Um, that's a great— so Uh, is, uh, Izzo's Second Boy— ISL Second Boy says, what are your thoughts on the $500K or dinner with Jay-Z debate? Um, I'm taking the $500K. And the funny thing about it is that y'all know I'm a big Jay-Z fan, right? You know, like, I'm a big Jay fan. So that's the— that's like the— man, that's like my favorite rapper of all time, right? Not even Favorite person of all time. Um, but I'm taking the $500K because I don't believe— so dinner, I don't believe one dinner is going to do it, right? If you said be mentored by Jay-Z, then that's different, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, mentorship is different. But if you just say I need more than that, like, is it, is it just me and him at the dinner? Or is it a bunch of people at the dinner? Um, how long is the dinner? Like, you know what I'm saying? Are we gonna eat and talk? You know what I'm saying? Like, I like— like, I feel like— and not taking nothing away from any business person, right? But even, even if I could sit down and talk to Warren Buffett, um, I'm sure that Warren Buffett could give me advice that could change my life, right? But in my experience and people that I've known experience, most of the time it's like a mentorship. It's not just one sitting, it's like multiple times you have access to that person. So for me, um, I would take the $500K, um, and invest that, you know what I'm saying? I, you know, yeah, I believe, I believe that, that I'm not— I'm knowledgeable enough to be able to take $500K and, you know, and make it $5 million, you know what I'm saying? And so I would, I would, yeah, I would, um, I would take the money. I wouldn't take the, um, I wouldn't take the, the dinner, uh, respectfully. That's my guy. But, you know, um, David— I tried David Goggins, uh, let me see if I could— I mean, if you have a good one, DM it to me. I tried David Goggins, but Um, you know, he— My Right Radio is more positive, and I'm not saying he's not positive, but, um, a lot of his stuff— I've tried, I've tried, like, I've listened to his stuff. Um, you know, a lot of his stuff goes against my ideology, you know what I'm saying? Um, because I'm a law of attraction guy. I'm not, I'm not the force your way through life guy, you know what I'm saying? Um, and he is that. And I'm not— and I believe in my heart that everything works, right? Everything you believe works, works, right? So there's no right or wrong. Um, there's somebody right now that says, yo, in order to make 6 figures, focus on the one thing. And then that person is right. There's somebody else— I know people that got like 20 businesses and it's killing it, and, and they believe that that works for them, so that works for them. So I— so what I'm saying is Like, there isn't just this one way, right? Like, everything works if you believe it works, right? And so what I say to that though is that in my experience, because of how I came up, because of the people that I attract, um, that forceful thing that like, you know, do it, you know, do it if you, uh, break your leg— like, I, like, I'm, I'm cool on that, you know what I'm saying? Because mine I teach, you know, you gotta think about it, Mind Right Radio, right? Mind Right Radio is about the mindset. And so, um, I'll, you know, I want to only put people on there or messages on there that coincide with the mindset I'm trying to push. So if I could find something on David Goggins that, that aligns, I would do it. Um, Would you prefer $3 million cash or 10-minute convo With Jay-Z, yeah, definitely doing, uh, 3 million, taking 3 million for sure. Um, how should I go about just throwing myself out there to build those connections, you know, like step out to my comfort zone because I'm kind of an introvert? You just answered the question. You, you answered the question in the question. You said, how should I go about just throwing myself out there? That's the answer. Just throwing yourself out there, that's the answer. Uh, that's the answer. Everything else is excuses, right? How should I go about just throwing myself out there to build those connections, right? Then you say, you know, like, step out my comfort zone. Step out your comfort zone. Because I'm kind of an introvert.

Excuse.

Um, yeah, people don't realize, like, like, I, you know, a lot of successful people are introverts. Um, I, I'm, I'm a, I'm a, I'm an extroverted introvert. Like, I really don't like— it's tiring, you know what I'm saying, to talk to people and do all that stuff or whatever. So it may seem like I got a big personality. I do have a big personality, but I'm not— I wouldn't say I'm an extrovert. Like, I'm not the guy— if you ever saw me like in a club or something, I'm not the guy that's like yelling and stuff. Even, even like, I'll yell on stage, I'll yell here, but even amongst people, I'm not, I'm not that guy. Like, I like to be low. Like, I'm low. know what I'm saying? So, um, being an introvert is like— what does that mean? You know what I'm saying? You just gotta step out your comfort zone. You just gotta throw yourself out there. That's it. Um, Nova November, my guy, salute, salute. Um, says, I'm starting a new business that promotes self-love in Black women, uh, but I'm in the process of loving myself as well. Oh, that's a good one. I'm passionate about the brand, but how do I overcome the doubt I have within myself? Oh, oh man, that's so good. That's such a good question. That's such a good question. That's such a good question. And, uh, what I would say to that is, huh, what I would say to that is Um, use your platform in the beginning as a reporter, you know what I'm saying? Uh, meaning that as you're learning, you're teaching, right? So do that vulnerability. Like, I know a lot of like finance bloggers who started as a finance blogger that were trying to be debt-free, and so they started their blog. They weren't debt-free. They started their blog while trying to become debt-free and was just taking people on the journey with them. Um, and then taking the people on a journey with them, that's what, you know, built their following. And then, and then once they finally got debt-free, now they were able to still keep those same people but then, you know, spread the message of that. What I would say is be a reporter, meaning take people on a journey with you, right? Find Um, you know, uh, people who, uh, or, you know, like, like, like somebody who's going to help you along the journey, um, of, of loving yourself, um, of getting through your doubt and then documenting what has worked for you until you get to that place where you're that, you know, where you're, where you're 100% confident. And then now you have a whole product. I'll give you, I'll give you a prime example, like Uh, when I started teaching money, I didn't have money, right? And so when I started teaching money, uh, 12 years ago, I had just quit my job, right? So I had just quit my job, uh, a 6-figure job. I had some savings, but I wasn't, you know, financially free. But I wrote a book called Mind Right, Money Right: 10 Laws of Financial Freedom. So it's like, yo, how can a guy who's not financially free write a book on financial freedom? The reason why I was able to do that is because I studied it. I studied the ish out of it, right? So I don't have to be that in order to treat that, you know what I'm saying? Meaning like, um, like, how can I say it? Like, most real estate agents don't, don't own homes, but if you know how to sell a home, you can sell a home, you know what I'm saying? And so for me, I was a banker for, for X amount of years. So I already worked with wealthy customers, knew some wealth principles. I read a lot of books. And then even in the book, the book wasn't my story. The book was other people's story. So it was easy for me to write the book because I did the research, you know what I'm saying? Like, I was able to report on what people were doing. Eventually though, as I started gaining my own success, I then started to write my own story. I started putting my experience in and things of that nature. So I would say that. I would say start off reporting on other people that you've seen, that you've studied, and then eventually get to that space where you're, you know, when you get to a space where you're the one that's spreading their story. You know what I mean? To share Factor mean a lot. Uh, uh, tap into Ramaya. Salute, salute. The more you post, the better you get at creating shareable content. That's a fact. That's a fact. Social is becoming a bit draining with promoting a business. Yeah, I think— I mean, for me, I think, um, you know what, you know, uh, put out good content, you know what I mean? Put out good content first, and as you put out the good content Um, you know, your, your followers and your, your people should, should increase. And then as your followers and stuff are increasing, you know, potentially hire a team, you know what I'm saying? Holla at my guy Ramaya Trash, you know. Um, consistent posting builds relationships. Uh, you have, uh, to be someone they know and trust. Exactly, exactly. Hey, Lo, what up? Sharon, it's okay to wrap up early, you've given enough. Yeah, I'm, I'm so tired to carry us over, but for real, uh, thanks, cuz. Uh, my son is using beard oil now, so I'm giving me, uh, I'm giving me tips. Salute, Star. Giving him tips. Salute. Uh, says, so I saved up for the 3-day intensive course, uh, but to get, uh, the extra money, I had to learn how to make more money. Salute, salute, salute. Um, what are your favorite books, Wall Street Bully? Uh, favorite books, uh, The Alchemist. Uh, so Think and Grow Rich, You Squared, The Alchemist, um, Four Agreements, Richest Man in— I have a lot though. I read a lot though. So, um, I have a lot, but my top ones, the ones that I read over and over again Think and Grow Rich, You Squared, The Alchemist, Four Agreements. Um, yeah, those are the ones. Those are my top 4, I would say. Uh, can we get My Self-Worth and Net Worth for Building Every Day merch? Um, myself, I mean, potentially. I didn't want to— I, I didn't want to saturate the brand, so, so that's why I kind of was like I'm kind of sticking to I am God, I am greatness on display, and abundance is my birthright. Um, let me think about that, right? So my self-worth and net worth are building every day. Um, potentially, potentially, potentially. I don't want to commit because I— because, because actually the goal is to make, you know, I am greatness on display and abundance is your birthright, you know, a million-dollar brand. So It's like, do I want to divert away from that, you know what I'm saying? So, uh, in fact, I've been napping all week. Take a nap, laugh, regroup. Love it, love it. The facts stay fly. Thank you for the badge, love. Um, I've been tired, taking a break. Yo, I'm telling you, uh, I'll take the $500K please and thank you. The relationship's not even there yet. Um, he may not want to talk that day. Look, uh, the agenda is important. Facts. Uh, A Diva Secret Closet, thank you for the badge, love. And the right mentor not gonna lay all the keys on you, right? Yeah, and that, and, and that, that's a great point, right? I know we're going back. Um, this is like a Million Dollar Whopper game every Friday now. Now salute, salute, Dave. Um, the funny thing about it though is that it's true, right? Like, um Mentorship doesn't all happen all at one time. And the funny thing about it is that a mentor, a good mentor, is going to know where you are, right? Meaning that if I'm mentoring somebody, I'm not going to give them everything at one time because that's not going to help them grow. I'm going to give them— it's like a plant, right? You got a plant that's just standing tall, and as the plant is standing tall, if you give it too much water, you're gonna kill the plant. You're gonna suffocate the plant, you know what I'm saying? So certain plants, you only got to give it enough water so that it could grow. As it gets bigger and bigger and bigger— oh, that's a bar. That's a bar, right? It's like, it's like advice is like, is like feeding a plant. Right? Because what winds up happening is if you got a small plant and you give it too much water, it's gonna drown. It's not gonna grow to its fullest potential. But as the plant gets bigger, then you could have— then you could pour more water on the plant because it could absorb it. The roots are bigger, it's ready. And so what happens with mentorship, a lot of times people have these mentors and they want everything all at one time, not realizing And if they get all this information at one time, it could literally drown them, right? It can literally make you stuck, you know, analysis paralysis. And so as you're seeking out a mentor, a good mentor is not going to give you all at one time. They're going to give you just enough that's going to help you grow. And then as you get— as you start growing and growing, you get more and more. Um, yeah. And so I'm not taking— I'm not taking the the, the dinner with Jay-Z, because whatever he could teach me, I know he'll teach. He could be able to teach me over time, opposed to just giving me a little bit now and then I grow some, then, you know, I don't— you know, I'm not gonna get that access again. So I'll take the $500K.

Bars.

Um, you got to cultivate the conversation. Um, Michael Beckwith is really good. Yeah, Michael Beckwith is good. I gotta, I gotta Michael Beckwith training. That's Marine training. That's a fact. The key is to believe. Uh, what are your— what are the financial benefits of a YouTube podcast? Um, man, a YouTube podcast. So the thing is, is that a podcast is just beneficial, right? Because a podcast, um, there's so much, um, you know, there's so much ways that you could create streams of income, honestly, from a podcast. So number one, Um, the video podcast, um, you know, once you get your YouTube views up, um, you know, you could, you know, you, you'll get advertising dollars from the views. Uh, you also could get average advertising dollars from like people who want to sponsor your actual show. Um, the audio, you could put it on audio podcast and you could get paid from people, you know, both ways as well from advertisers, from people who want to just, um, uh, who people will listen to your show. Um, it can give you connections, you know what I'm saying? And so, uh, anytime I interview somebody, I get to feel their energy, I get to talk to them, I get to pick their brain. Um, so it gives you connections. Um, it gives you content, it gives you shareable content. You could break down your podcast into smaller bite-sized, uh, have some content out there. Um, you know, you could create a program, a service and use your, your, your podcast as a marketing tool for that. Um, I think I gave you enough. I think, you know, I think that's hopefully that's enough. Um, I just made a post about this. Salute. Uh, and Sound Guru, uh, it's really good. Yeah, yeah, I like Sound Guru, but his accent— I try his accent over a beat, is tough. So Uh, let's just see. Introvert, my meter runs out quick. Facts. Um, this is me, I love people but introverted tendencies.

Salute.

Um, be the Kobe Bryant and find one mentor who is doing what you want to do. And yep, CCG, CCG, if you know, you know. Uh, Ash, uh, put me on— yeah, The Alchemist is one of the best books. I love Alchemist. Uh, let's see, let's see, let's see. I have to get— yeah, Alchemist. Yeah, Alchemist is dope. U² is dope. Um, but we're read— yo, in our book club though this month we're reading The One Thing, so don't get all the books, go read The One Thing this month. Um, yeah, Richest Man in Babylon is my joint too. Uh, you got Abundance is Your Birthmark, uh, trademark. Yeah, my, my, my, my lawyers are in the process. Uh, so Abundance is, is your, is your birthright, and I am greatness on display are in the process of getting trademarked. Uh, how you spell You Squared? Is Y-O-U. Y-O-U Squared. Uh, it seems like all change healers never have time for self-care. They are always on the move. But how can you feed others before you feed yourself? Uh, that can burn a leader out. That's a fact. Um, so here's the, here's the thing about change leaders. So just to be clear, Um, you see us when you see us, but when you don't see us, you don't see us, right? Meaning that I don't— I, I, me personally, I listen to my body. So my body tell me to slow down, I slow down. But a lot of times it's like when you're on project mode, like when you on like, yo, I got a project that I'm working on, when you're on that mode, you gotta, you gotta just go. And so my life typically looks like Maybe three to four months out of the year, I'm going hard. Like ah grind grind grind nonstop no sleep blah blah. But the other eight months, I'm chilling though, right? The other eight months, you know, I'm I'm I'm with the family. I'm you know what I'm saying? I'm doing my father duties. You know what I mean? Like I'm not really like going hard hard hard. You know what I'm saying? So it may look like that, but I think that that that a lot of us know that we need to chill. You know what I'm saying? We gotta go on vacation, we gotta enjoy the family. So I believe I have a good balance, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm giving— well, I'm giving, you know, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 9 AM, right? 5 hours a week. Then I got my mastermind that I do on, uh, Tuesday and Sunday, so that's 2 hours. So 7 hours, right? 7 hours plus anything I gotta do in, in, in the, in the, in the meantime. But then the rest of the time is mine, you know what I'm saying? So I, you know, it's a good, good balance. Um, so thank you for my mentor. Salute, salute, salute, salute, A-Lo. Um, let's see, let's see. Um, best advice for finding a mentor? Uh, best advice for finding a mentor: add value. Number one, add value. I would say that was my number one thing. My number one thing would be add value. Mentors are busy. Mentors don't need you. Like a mentor doesn't need a mentee. And so, if you add value to the mentor's life, then the mentor would feel obligated to like to bless your life, you know. And so, they'll work with you. Um, get in the room too, you know, like be around, let— make yourself seen. Uh, you're not gonna find a mentor online just sitting there doing nothing. Like, be seen. Um, add value, be seen. And, um, yeah, I think, I think though, I think those two, I think those two, I would say those are the main ways. All right, one more minute, y'all, and I'm gone. Uh, you gonna sleep between the batches? Facts, yo. Leaders have to take care of themselves. I need, uh, I need that in 2019. Great book. Very true. All right, y'all, I think I'm done.
