Speaker 1: work hard, you reserve success because you are a person
4:56
Speaker 1: that understands the value of what hard work is. Eyes
5:00
Speaker 1: tied to your dream or tied to your your goals,
5:03
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't don't get that. Why
5:05
Speaker 1: is that? Yeah, it's it's a huge part of planning
5:11
Speaker 1: and strategic planning and getting the wisdom that we need
5:16
Speaker 1: and keeping our goals, you know, in mind with everything
5:19
Speaker 1: that we do, it's it's it's really just reverse engineering it.
5:22
Speaker 1: We have these goals, we have the things we want
5:25
Speaker 1: to see accomplish, and then you know, we have to
5:27
Speaker 1: go back. We got to go back and start from
5:29
Speaker 1: the beginning. You know, we gotta go back and paint
5:32
Speaker 1: that picture and and run the play right that's important.
5:37
Speaker 1: So with that being said, when I look at your resume,
5:40
Speaker 1: it's so much energy, is so much pay it forward?
5:43
Speaker 1: Is paying it forward? It's such a big part of
5:45
Speaker 1: your career. What is what is your gift or passion
5:48
Speaker 1: or some people make it a separation, but some people
5:51
Speaker 1: combine them. But what is your gift for passion? You know?
5:54
Speaker 1: I build people. I realized that, you know, I am
5:59
Speaker 1: natural lead, someone that pushes hope um. To remind people
6:04
Speaker 1: that they're more than what meets the eye, um. And
6:07
Speaker 1: to to really understand how to navigate and move their life,
6:11
Speaker 1: and to to build around their strength. You know, I
6:14
Speaker 1: realized successful people all have weaknesses. However, it's not their focus.
6:19
Speaker 1: They focus on the things that they're strong at. They
6:21
Speaker 1: focus on the things that slow naturally through them, and
6:24
Speaker 1: they build around those things. And they're constantly learning and
6:29
Speaker 1: perfecting and and understanding the craft and the gift that
6:32
Speaker 1: they have. And so for me, building people, Uh was it,
6:36
Speaker 1: you know, from beauty going into beauty industry From the
6:39
Speaker 1: time I was so young, you know, I I just
6:42
Speaker 1: knew I wanted to use my hands to make things
6:46
Speaker 1: look better. So whether it was designing things around the house,
6:49
Speaker 1: or doing my mother's hair or you know, whatever it was.
6:53
Speaker 1: I just love to make things beautiful. I love to
6:56
Speaker 1: make women feel good about themselves. And so it just streams,
7:00
Speaker 1: you know, grew from there. It just continued to grow.
7:03
Speaker 1: My gifts grew from there and it turned into more
7:05
Speaker 1: speaking life, it turned into helping women with their brands.
7:09
Speaker 1: It's whatever it is. It's about building and building with purpose. Well,
7:13
Speaker 1: the will continue to do it. Now. The thing about
7:16
Speaker 1: it is that I always talking about a balance life.
7:18
Speaker 1: And in your resume, you know, your bio is this,
7:21
Speaker 1: this just sticks out a wife, mom to four boys
7:26
Speaker 1: and a bonus stepdaughter. That's you know, the fact that
7:30
Speaker 1: you have that in your bio means that's important in
7:34
Speaker 1: your life, which means you have a sense of balance.
7:36
Speaker 1: Talk to me about that. Yeah, absolutely, I'm telling you
7:41
Speaker 1: that's one of the hardest jobs is motherhood and you know,
7:47
Speaker 1: being a wife going on twenty years this year, and
7:52
Speaker 1: it's not easy for sure that but it's again something
7:55
Speaker 1: that is a focus. It's it's a priority. Um each
8:00
Speaker 1: that balance is really a myth and it's something that
8:03
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily exist. We have to just learn how to
8:06
Speaker 1: prioritize and read, prioritize, and including my family because I
8:12
Speaker 1: want them to understand what entrepreneurship looks like, what legacy
8:15
Speaker 1: living looks like, and making sure they understand what mommy
8:18
Speaker 1: does in business and how it looks and so even
8:22
Speaker 1: I have an event coming up. My son is in
8:24
Speaker 1: town for spring break, so he'll be there setting up,
8:27
Speaker 1: you know, with dad and them seeing what that looks
8:31
Speaker 1: like when we we build something out that other people
8:34
Speaker 1: can come and make a transaction like giving you money
8:39
Speaker 1: to do what it is that you do. I want
8:41
Speaker 1: them to see what that looks like. I don't want
8:42
Speaker 1: them to hear about it. So they're very much included
8:46
Speaker 1: in in our lifestyle. I don't want them to feel like,
8:49
Speaker 1: you know, entrepreneurship is something that is so hard and
8:54
Speaker 1: and difficult to do, and and I want them to
8:57
Speaker 1: be able to understand that they were born into it
9:00
Speaker 1: and it's in their blood, it's in their veins, and
9:02
Speaker 1: that they can create and dominate. Well, that's important to me.
9:06
Speaker 1: You know. I think that I'm writing a book is
9:09
Speaker 1: going to come out in January next year, and I
9:12
Speaker 1: talked about mentorship. That's what you're talking about, having people
9:15
Speaker 1: around you pushing confidence pushing opportunity, pushing the belief that
9:19
Speaker 1: you that that a dream can become a reality. And
9:23
Speaker 1: I remember when I was fifteen years old, Um, you
9:26
Speaker 1: know my first job that my father, he was a
9:27
Speaker 1: truck driver, that's what he did for it, that was
9:29
Speaker 1: his career. My first job he gave me a fifteen
9:32
Speaker 1: was I was unloading trucks, you know, And so those
9:36
Speaker 1: are my as far as male figures, that was my
9:38
Speaker 1: first level of male figures outside of my dad or
9:42
Speaker 1: my school teachers. And uh, they so put an impression
9:46
Speaker 1: on me, you know, unloading boxes and forklift driving. That
9:50
Speaker 1: when I got out of high school, that's all I
9:51
Speaker 1: wanted to be. I wanted to be a forkliff driver.
9:54
Speaker 1: And guess what, I got a job as a forklift driver.
9:56
Speaker 1: And so despite the academics, and I eventually just snapped
10:01
Speaker 1: and got right and went to college and my degrees
10:03
Speaker 1: and and not not saying that there was nothing bad
10:06
Speaker 1: about me making that charge, but sometimes we can settle
10:09
Speaker 1: based on our environment because we don't see nobody's offering
10:12
Speaker 1: us the opportunity to be more than that that dream
10:14
Speaker 1: that we've that we first encountered, and that's all you're saying,
10:18
Speaker 1: and so I I was. I was so affected by that,
10:21
Speaker 1: despite people telling me you can be more, despite people
10:24
Speaker 1: telling me you can go to college, I just knew
10:27
Speaker 1: there was a path that I understood, and these guys
10:30
Speaker 1: told me it was living in such a great life
10:32
Speaker 1: living it. I said, what's wrong with that? Let me
10:34
Speaker 1: go do it. Even though I was capable of doing more,
10:37
Speaker 1: I was capable of affecting the world more. And I
10:40
Speaker 1: eventually got my degree in mathematics with my minders and sociology,
10:44
Speaker 1: because if we are surrounded by people who don't push us,
10:48
Speaker 1: don't challenge us, don't let us know that, let us
10:52
Speaker 1: understand that hard work comes with effort, and if it
10:54
Speaker 1: comes with being consistent and consistently create relationships that can
10:58
Speaker 1: expand alone, that's your whole game of brand strategy, that's
11:02
Speaker 1: your whole game of marketing. Correct Absolutely, exposure is key,
11:08
Speaker 1: um connectivity is key, authenticity is key. All all of
11:13
Speaker 1: those things really play a role and being able to
11:16
Speaker 1: build a brand that can transcend for generations. And it
11:21
Speaker 1: comes down to that right there. And I love what
11:24
Speaker 1: you talked about that representation and what we have in
11:26
Speaker 1: our life, and so we we do tend to have
11:29
Speaker 1: limited beliefs based on what what we've seen growing up
11:33
Speaker 1: and the things that we have experienced in life, and
11:37
Speaker 1: so exposure again is key in order for there to
11:40
Speaker 1: be changed, like you know, in our mind and how
11:42
Speaker 1: we think and what we believe UM we are allowed
11:45
Speaker 1: to experience or walk into or the type of success
11:49
Speaker 1: that we are allowed to have in order for our
11:51
Speaker 1: brain to even comprehend that, it needs to be exposed
11:54
Speaker 1: to new information. There can be no change without new information,
11:58
Speaker 1: without new data about in putting something new and so
12:02
Speaker 1: pushing that UM for me is just so key. You know,
12:06
Speaker 1: we have a mentorship program. We have a nonprofit on
12:09
Speaker 1: where we focus on young entrepreneurs from seventeen to twenty two,
12:13
Speaker 1: I was sixteen, graduating high school, going right into entrepreneurship
12:17
Speaker 1: without any mentors. And and that I'm really doing that
12:22
Speaker 1: to to cater to that that young girl just like
12:25
Speaker 1: me that says I know there's more for me. I
12:27
Speaker 1: just don't know how to do it. I'm so talented,
12:31
Speaker 1: I'm so gifted, but I just don't know how do
12:34
Speaker 1: I set up, you know, systems. I talk about having
12:37
Speaker 1: the ability of having a brand and not having a
12:39
Speaker 1: business and that's what we see. We see so many
12:42
Speaker 1: people that are popular, so many people that have a
12:45
Speaker 1: fan base, and they don't know how to monetize it.
12:48
Speaker 1: I work with influencers that they can't get a T
12:50
Speaker 1: shirt off the ground. It's like, you know, so understanding.
12:54
Speaker 1: It's they can have millions of followers and zero dollars,
12:59
Speaker 1: and so the under standing how to set up a business,
13:02
Speaker 1: how to monetize your gifts and your talent, having the
13:05
Speaker 1: mentorship and coaching, it's key. Exposure is key. Well, you know,
13:10
Speaker 1: the thing about it is that when I look at
13:12
Speaker 1: your the thing about that just I love about you
13:16
Speaker 1: is that you don't mind letting everybody knows your your
13:21
Speaker 1: journey has not always been up there. And I think
13:25
Speaker 1: it's important to show flaws because I think people listen
13:28
Speaker 1: better when you're willing to admit your flaws. Because you
13:30
Speaker 1: talk about lost four homes, three cars to businesses and
13:34
Speaker 1: was forced to move in with family after two years,
13:37
Speaker 1: rebuilt your business as a brand creator and business coach.
13:42
Speaker 1: When you were when those losses were one down then
13:46
Speaker 1: to down? What what was your support system? What kept
13:49
Speaker 1: your float emotionally? Where was that support system that helped
13:52
Speaker 1: you out oh that my my faith and my husband.
13:56
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was like us against the
13:59
Speaker 1: world at that point, you know, and just really staying
14:02
Speaker 1: focused on our belief in God and that if he
14:06
Speaker 1: did it before we were so young and experiencing success,
14:10
Speaker 1: I truly believe before we really comprehend, you know, where
14:14
Speaker 1: we were and really had a full understanding of what
14:18
Speaker 1: we had in our hands at the time. And so
14:21
Speaker 1: I kind of think that we just it happened so quickly,
14:24
Speaker 1: so fast, you could almost compare it to the lot
14:26
Speaker 1: of you know, It's almost if our intellect and the
14:31
Speaker 1: things that we we, what we know now and what
14:35
Speaker 1: we knew, then things would have gone so totally different.
14:38
Speaker 1: And so I have no regrets about it. But what
14:41
Speaker 1: truly kept us was our our confessions, our now There
14:46
Speaker 1: were times that I ain't want to talk to him,
14:49
Speaker 1: and I am like, it's not to not get out
14:51
Speaker 1: my face. Every day. Wasn't just you know, quoting scriptures
14:56
Speaker 1: and praying there shut up. Had to straight up shut
15:01
Speaker 1: up some days because I just knew I was so upset,
15:05
Speaker 1: I was so disappointed, I was so hurt to be
15:08
Speaker 1: in that financial state. But I also knew it was temporary.
15:12
Speaker 1: And and though it took us years to recover. Though
15:15
Speaker 1: it took us time um to put things back into position,
15:19
Speaker 1: because we we looked at it and said, we got
15:21
Speaker 1: away from some of the things we we believed in.
15:24
Speaker 1: We took on way too much that we were house
15:27
Speaker 1: rich and cash poor, and so we we took on
15:29
Speaker 1: way too much over our heads with it and living
15:33
Speaker 1: this lifestyle and being the top givers out our church
15:36
Speaker 1: and people were able to use cars. We have folks
15:39
Speaker 1: living with us. We had people living in our properties
15:42
Speaker 1: that couldn't. We we treated it almost like a charity.
15:44
Speaker 1: We didn't understand how to truly value and run it
15:48
Speaker 1: like a business because the ultimate reason we had all
15:51
Speaker 1: those properties because we had a property management company, and
15:55
Speaker 1: so we we didn't fully understand in our mid twenties
15:58
Speaker 1: how to run that the right way. So it seems
16:02
Speaker 1: like my entire, you know, ten fifteen years of my
16:06
Speaker 1: life pre marriage and post marriage was just a whole
16:11
Speaker 1: life learning school of the hard. Not you're learning how
16:16
Speaker 1: to do life, learning how to respect money with a
16:20
Speaker 1: K because put a K on it money there you go.
16:24
Speaker 1: I'm talking to my friend Coleen Ontario. She's uh got
16:28
Speaker 1: an event coming up in Chicago. That's why she's on

Speaker 1: um taught me so much and it's just really really
20:07
Speaker 1: um amazing. But to answer your question, yes, the event
20:11
Speaker 1: CEO to Dominate. We have it every year during Women's Months,
20:16
Speaker 1: celebrating women, and our main focus this year is more
20:21
Speaker 1: boot camp business workshop style, so it's a full day
20:25
Speaker 1: of workshops with speakers UH teaching from their area of influence,
20:32
Speaker 1: the area that they dominate. Our mantra at CEO chicks collaborate,
20:36
Speaker 1: create and dominating. So the whole focus is for us
20:41
Speaker 1: to get educated UM American Express um Amics. They have
20:46
Speaker 1: their business report come out and the numbers were astounded.
20:50
Speaker 1: We're leading as it comes to minority women with starting businesses,
20:54
Speaker 1: but we're also leading with failing in business and having
20:58
Speaker 1: the lowest revenue generating firms, and that needs to be addressed.
21:04
Speaker 1: And so I come back to understanding our our plans,
21:09
Speaker 1: understanding finances, understanding marketing, understanding branding, understanding connectivity, and finding
21:16
Speaker 1: your ideal customers. And then we go into the latter
21:19
Speaker 1: part of the day, which is hands on, where we
21:21
Speaker 1: are building out sales funnels for our v i p
21:25
Speaker 1: s and showing them how to use it and build
21:27
Speaker 1: their email marketing list to continue to what we call
21:31
Speaker 1: modern day you know, door knocking UM getting that those
21:36
Speaker 1: email lists together. Just in case social media cut a
21:40
Speaker 1: monkey and you can't get access or something happens to
21:43
Speaker 1: Facebook and Instagram, you still have access to the people
21:46
Speaker 1: UM via your email list. So we're really diving in
21:50
Speaker 1: on how to I'm such a teacher and I said,
21:53
Speaker 1: I like to push hope, I like to inspire people,
21:55
Speaker 1: but I really want to make sure they get it,
21:58
Speaker 1: that they are educated and understand how to implement these
22:03
Speaker 1: strategies once they leave. And that's the entire focus our
22:06
Speaker 1: keynote Monique Rodriguez, who over the last three years, you
22:11
Speaker 1: she went from her garage to every major retailer you
22:15
Speaker 1: can think of, and she spoke at our Chicago pop
22:18
Speaker 1: up um last year and she's absolutely killing it right
22:22
Speaker 1: now in the hair care industry and business. So we
22:26
Speaker 1: really just are going to dive in on what that
22:28
Speaker 1: looks like, how do you get into targets? What are
22:31
Speaker 1: the steps to doing that? How to make sure that
22:33
Speaker 1: your your documentation, everything that you need is on point.
22:36
Speaker 1: And financially, what do you need to have when you're
22:39
Speaker 1: purchasing retail space for you know, for your products. And
22:43
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna die when I say we're going
22:45
Speaker 1: all the way in, we're going all the way is well,
22:49
Speaker 1: it's important because here's the thing is that we all
22:53
Speaker 1: want success. Uh, there's some reason that you know, there
22:56
Speaker 1: are certain techniques to get in there. Some people are
22:58
Speaker 1: naturally gifted at Now you're you're you're you're gifted at
23:01
Speaker 1: this what you're doing. You know, that's a gift. And
23:03
Speaker 1: I always tell people, uh, you know two plus two,
23:06
Speaker 1: it's for for everybody. So it's something you can learn,
23:08
Speaker 1: you know, something you can master. It's the effort that
23:11
Speaker 1: makes you successful at it. And when I hear you
23:14
Speaker 1: talk about all these deep dives, these seminars and bringing
23:18
Speaker 1: in these experts or you know, they're they're gonna tell
23:21
Speaker 1: you about their journey, and their journey is gonna have
23:23
Speaker 1: up and down and up and down. They're gonna have haters,
23:25
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have people, even their relatives, are gonna
23:27
Speaker 1: tell them you're crazy. You know, people you love gonna
23:30
Speaker 1: tell you that you're crazy, even in your your your
23:32
Speaker 1: kids might even question you and your efforts to make
23:35
Speaker 1: a change in your life. Because that's what happens is
23:37
Speaker 1: I always tell people, the worst thing in the world
23:39
Speaker 1: is to ask a person for advice who doesn't even
23:42
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. So you gotta and that's
23:46
Speaker 1: what people make the biggest mistake. I remember when I
23:48
Speaker 1: was I was working at IBM, and I went and told,
23:51
Speaker 1: you know, my relatives and everybody, I was gonna quit
23:54
Speaker 1: to be a stand up comic. You're funny all but
23:58
Speaker 1: look I be him. See, I'm talking to people who
24:02
Speaker 1: had no I had no business talking to these people.
24:04
Speaker 1: I could care less of what they thought about be
24:06
Speaker 1: leaving IBM, but you know, I value their opinion. And
24:10
Speaker 1: guess what, not one of them saying anything that I
24:12
Speaker 1: used back there or today because they didn't know what
24:16
Speaker 1: I was talking about. They didn't understand the entertainment industry.
24:19
Speaker 1: I knew there were gonna be some problems. I knew
24:20
Speaker 1: I was gonna jump out there and meet and b
24:22
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy I'm still not in the Murphy, but that
24:24
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I'm not successful. I went from being a
24:27
Speaker 1: stand up, I went from a writer. I went from
24:30
Speaker 1: a producer to a manager of talent. Now I'm marketing
24:33
Speaker 1: any branding expert. All those things. I had to have
24:37
Speaker 1: a certain amount of effort to understand that, you know
24:40
Speaker 1: some reason, this is where you need to go. This
24:43
Speaker 1: is what I like about when I listened to you,
24:45
Speaker 1: when I listened to your story. Why I bring you
24:47
Speaker 1: on this show because you understand a closed door does
24:50
Speaker 1: not mean you can't open it. M hm, and you
24:54
Speaker 1: opened it every time. Colleen, Why how tell these folks
24:59
Speaker 1: who you are? Girl? Tell these folks why they need
25:01
Speaker 1: to be in the Lando be at this brainstorm and session.
25:04
Speaker 1: It's just turn your life around session. This is your show.
25:07
Speaker 1: This is why I brought you on the show. I
25:08
Speaker 1: thought you want to show people know who you are.
25:11
Speaker 1: I'm dropping this show for you. We're gonna drop this
25:13
Speaker 1: show on Thursday. We're dropping this show. Come on, come
25:18
Speaker 1: tell them girl, tell everybody? Why are you them all? What?
25:22
Speaker 1: One of the things that I think is so key
25:26
Speaker 1: and I'm so horrible at suiting my own horn. Thank
25:28
Speaker 1: you I'm usually I'm so big on talking up other people.
25:34
Speaker 1: But one of the things I will definitely say is
25:36
Speaker 1: I'm a fighter. I'm a fighter. I don't take no
25:39
Speaker 1: for an answer. In fact, no means game on. It's
25:42
Speaker 1: almost like the opposite. It means game on you you're
25:46
Speaker 1: saying though, so that means no for you, You're not
25:49
Speaker 1: the one you know. And so I just truly believe
25:52
Speaker 1: that I'm big on doing business with people in my community.
25:57
Speaker 1: I understand the importance of keeping the dollar in rotation
26:00
Speaker 1: in my community outside of just the beauty industry, and
26:04
Speaker 1: yes that matters. But when it comes to my doctors
26:07
Speaker 1: that I go to, I make sure I'm make giving
26:10
Speaker 1: business to people that look like me. I'm making sure
26:14
Speaker 1: I'm giving business to families and people that I know
26:17
Speaker 1: are gonna continue to give further, give on more, continue
26:20
Speaker 1: to pay it forward. Our communities are behind and we're
26:24
Speaker 1: getting we're catching up. We're catching up, and so CEO
26:27
Speaker 1: Chicks is focused on minority women in business. We are
26:32
Speaker 1: the spot for you to come to build your business
26:35
Speaker 1: and your brand, to get things off the floor, to
26:37
Speaker 1: get an understanding, and let me add an affordable location
26:41
Speaker 1: to do that where You don't have to give your
26:43
Speaker 1: your entire pension up or your entire four one K
26:47
Speaker 1: up to learn how to get started on your business,
26:50
Speaker 1: to learn how to monetize your gifts and your talents.
26:53
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm here. I'm so passionate about it.
26:55
Speaker 1: I tell hundreds of women get into different locations and
26:59
Speaker 1: get their business and their products out there, to learn
27:02
Speaker 1: how to build their own community, how to connect with
27:05
Speaker 1: their own audience. You don't have to look at what
27:07
Speaker 1: other people are doing. You know your your own competition.
27:10
Speaker 1: And I feel that way about myself. It's important that
27:13
Speaker 1: I get around people that believe in me and that
27:16
Speaker 1: I believe in them, and we do business together, we
27:18
Speaker 1: strategize together. It doesn't take a whole lot of people,
27:21
Speaker 1: just takes the right one. And so this network is
27:24
Speaker 1: just that. That's what I'm building right now. And through it,
27:27
Speaker 1: I helped them. I helped them with their brand, I
27:29
Speaker 1: help them with their business. And this is the place
27:31
Speaker 1: that people want to be. It's all how to and
27:34
Speaker 1: no hype. There you go, see, I'm signing up now,
27:40
Speaker 1: no hype, Elaborate, create and dominate. That's it. You deliver
27:46
Speaker 1: the facts information like the one of you know what
27:48
Speaker 1: you said, nearly all women owned firms in the US
27:51
Speaker 1: is accounted for by a minority woman. Yeah, why don't
27:56
Speaker 1: we know that? Is that? Is that suppressed information? Is that?
28:00
Speaker 1: You know? I think it's just one of the things
28:02
Speaker 1: that we have to get accustomed to in our community.
28:06
Speaker 1: We have to get accustomed to looking at the bottom line.
28:10
Speaker 1: Like we have a lot of people that that like
28:12
Speaker 1: to talk and like to throw things out there, but
28:14
Speaker 1: when we say it's time for change and then there's
28:17
Speaker 1: work that has to be put in, very few show
28:20
Speaker 1: up for the actual work. And so we just got
28:23
Speaker 1: to get to a place to where we live it
28:25
Speaker 1: the like we were walking, like we're talking, you know
28:27
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it just has to come down
28:29
Speaker 1: to that, and that's what I'm interested in. I realized
28:33
Speaker 1: people love the hype. I realized they love the noise
28:36
Speaker 1: sometimes with Sean, they love doing it for the Graham,
28:38
Speaker 1: they loved doing it for the light, camera and action.
28:41
Speaker 1: But when it comes down to the work, they think
28:43
Speaker 1: it's a cup word. They act like it's a straight
28:46
Speaker 1: cup word. And so I feel like we're not doing
28:49
Speaker 1: a good job of painting the picture of what entrepreneurship
28:54
Speaker 1: looks like, of what work looks like, what mental strength?
28:58
Speaker 1: I talked about the M factor in my book Brands
29:00
Speaker 1: to Books and in Brand to Bucks I talk about
29:03
Speaker 1: what is required before you even go further in my book,
29:07
Speaker 1: there are things that you need to understand. One is
29:10
Speaker 1: what you have, your brand, your your product, your service?
29:14
Speaker 1: Is is are people drawn to it? It's magnetism? Is
29:17
Speaker 1: the first m. Are people even attracted to it? Do
29:20
Speaker 1: they even want it? Do they? Are they hunting you
29:22
Speaker 1: down for it? The next thing is manpower. Are you
29:25
Speaker 1: even able to get people drawn to your team? Are
29:28
Speaker 1: you able to get people to buy in to your
29:30
Speaker 1: vision and your dream? How well are you communicating that?
29:33
Speaker 1: How well are you placing your vision out there? Is
29:35
Speaker 1: it written so clearly that men can take it and
29:38
Speaker 1: run with it like the word says? Then the next
29:40
Speaker 1: thing is money. How much is it gonna take? Have
29:42
Speaker 1: you counted up the cost? Do you understand what is
29:45
Speaker 1: required to do this? And the next thing from that
29:48
Speaker 1: is then the mental strength? Do you have what it
29:52
Speaker 1: takes to mentally walk out to to to hear no constantly?
29:56
Speaker 1: Are you able to handle rejection? Are you able to
29:59
Speaker 1: hand know people doubting you are you able all the
30:02
Speaker 1: things we just talked about on this call. Are you
30:04
Speaker 1: able to mentally handle it? You know how many successful
30:07
Speaker 1: people turn around and commit suicide. They cannot take it.
30:11
Speaker 1: They're dealing with depression there and their emotional intelligence is
30:14
Speaker 1: at an all time low. What does that look like?
30:17
Speaker 1: Before you go forward and launch anything, I want you
30:20
Speaker 1: to ask yourselves these questions. Do you have the M factor? Girl?
30:26
Speaker 1: You're doing it. You're doing it now. I didn't woke
30:29
Speaker 1: up now, I didn't woke the CEO check up. I
30:33
Speaker 1: was sit back, I had my pillow out, have my
30:35
Speaker 1: legs up on the stood because the show is yo.
30:38
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that's why I created my main conversation. Well,
30:41
Speaker 1: first I am on the phone here with celebrity beauty
30:45
Speaker 1: brand expert, you know, twenty years of experience and she
30:48
Speaker 1: she mentor she motivated. Well, she just heard motivation. She's
30:51
Speaker 1: an author. She mentioned a book twenty years of Experience
30:54
Speaker 1: and so, and she has a program coming out. Uh.
30:58
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say the crash course because I guess what
31:00
Speaker 1: this is something that you you should be involved in
31:02
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. But there's as National Women's mom
31:05
Speaker 1: Moth of March, and she's done this program and she's
31:08
Speaker 1: done it before, and that's the CEO Chicks Institute is
31:11
Speaker 1: designed to mentor female entrepreneurs from seventeen to twenty two,
31:16
Speaker 1: giving them information and tools to win in the marketplace,
31:20
Speaker 1: getting them that early. I always tell people that, you know,
31:23
Speaker 1: I talk about people using age as an excuse they
31:26
Speaker 1: should not. I tell people when you when you authority,
31:29
Speaker 1: that means that you have you just getting started. Fifty
31:32
Speaker 1: means that you're ramping up. Sixty means that are you're
31:34
Speaker 1: about to explode with opportunities because you hadn't given them.
31:38
Speaker 1: There's no finish line in your opportunity. But I always
31:40
Speaker 1: tell people this, if you if you if you're trying
31:43
Speaker 1: to define your life on the job, resume that you're
31:45
Speaker 1: currently working on. Stop. Go back to your seventeen eighteen,
31:51
Speaker 1: early twenties when you had a passion and you had
31:54
Speaker 1: dreams before somebody interfered with it. When I said interfered
31:57
Speaker 1: that we never told you you couldn't do that. That
31:59
Speaker 1: then make sense for you. Or you got married your
32:02
Speaker 1: day to somebody who shifted you in a different direction
32:04
Speaker 1: than have the passion of the dreams that you had
32:06
Speaker 1: or you have some kids, you have gotten the debt,
32:08
Speaker 1: or you joined the military, you moved out of state,
32:11
Speaker 1: going back to that era when they meant something to you,
32:14
Speaker 1: when you had these dreams that were unbelievable. That's why
32:16
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you're talking about entrepreneurs, female
32:19
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs between the ages of seventeen twenty two. Because see
32:22
Speaker 1: those people right there who sit down, they are dreamers,
32:25
Speaker 1: they are people. They the world no doesn't mean anything
32:28
Speaker 1: to them. They can't even see forty years. They can't
32:32
Speaker 1: see fifty. That's so far away from the fifty fifty.
32:38
Speaker 1: I'm seventeen. I can't even count that high. So you're
32:43
Speaker 1: sitting down with people who are trying to be successful
32:46
Speaker 1: right now, and see my generation go to college, get mad,
32:52
Speaker 1: you know, playing for a time. Man. You know we
32:55
Speaker 1: we were eighteen years old. They was already putting uhing
32:57
Speaker 1: in the grave when we graduated. It's true they were
33:03
Speaker 1: nowadays you graduate. That's why I just despires people. And
33:07
Speaker 1: they start talking bad about millennials, Well, you know they
33:11
Speaker 1: want it right now, they don't want to work hard. Well,
33:14
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. We old people. Anybody over
33:18
Speaker 1: fifty sits around forty two forty old people out there
33:22
Speaker 1: looking at them, and I go, you my age, No,
33:24
Speaker 1: I'm younger. You really got a problem. You need to
33:28
Speaker 1: go and check it on yourself. And I tell this
33:32
Speaker 1: because I want to wrap this up on a high note,
33:34
Speaker 1: because you've been so fantastic with my show. Is this.
33:36
Speaker 1: You inspire people, you motivate people, and you're taking uh
33:41
Speaker 1: the female and my daughter. You know, she's twenty two,
33:44
Speaker 1: so she's in that range that you you're talking about.
33:46
Speaker 1: She wants to be entrepreneur. She wants to start a business.
33:48
Speaker 1: But I tell somebody, if I grew up with an iPhone,
33:51
Speaker 1: I would think differently too. Okay, if I grew up
33:53
Speaker 1: with YouTube, I would think differently. Due if I grew
33:55
Speaker 1: up with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok all this stuff, I would
33:59
Speaker 1: think different me too. I didn't grow up with those things.
34:02
Speaker 1: So guess what I think differently. I would plan differently.
34:05
Speaker 1: I would think also that I can be great too.
34:07
Speaker 1: If the Jenner's out there, they can be at the Kadashians.
34:11
Speaker 1: They could be millionaires just by posting something for two
34:13
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars or a a million dollars a post.
34:16
Speaker 1: Why can't. I think that way too. When I was
34:19
Speaker 1: growing up, look a here we had Rotor with down telephone.
34:23
