A short personal narrative (likely from a YouTube video) about overcoming severe adversity: the speaker recounts losing their bonus mother to illness, experiencing deep despair, and later rebuilding by leaning on enduring principles. The speaker frames this as guidance for clients—teaching principles over tactical advice in entrepreneurship/self-improvement contexts.
Chapters
And there's nothing that can happen. My bonus mom suddenly, like, gets sick and passes away. And I lost everything, including my mind. I just gave up. Like, I didn't even want to try. I've had a very fragmented childhood and I've held on. I've done good. I can't. I couldn't. I couldn't physically fathom why this was happening, because I felt like I had done so much right. Be a virtuous woman, do this, go to college. I graduated with a 4.4 GPA, went straight to a four year university. So to me, I'm thinking you've defied all the odds. Yeah. And for this to happen was just devastating. And so that was when I like to say I lost everything, including my own mind. And over time, I just decided, like, after, like, year two, if you want to participate in the promise, God has already given you the principles. Yeah. So that was a time when things were not as they were now, but I was able to rely on principles. So that's why now with the Millennial millionaire. With clients, I always tell them I can teach you about products and philosophies, but I'd rather teach you about principles because those will outlive anything that I can tell you.
