• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you for having me. Bishop. Did I lay out that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: let you out that I wondered, it was that really me?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Your story is I've been fortunate and blessed I met
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you over the years in my working relationship with Steve Harvey.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You've never disappointed and you you've laid a path of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: opportunity for individuals like me just say I can do this.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And when I look at the book that we're going
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to talk about, Soul Build your Vision from the ground up,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it is truly a person's blueprint for success as an
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: individual and especially an entrepreneurship. Why did you decided to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: do it this time, sir? You know it was It
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: was really a lot of pout in prayer and effort
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: went into it because my liability is my own career.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And people see you as a clergyman. They have difficulties
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: seeing you as anything else. And yet the elephant in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the middle of the room is I've done over five
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars worth of films gross at the box office,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: continue to be in that arena, and now during television
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: with Lifetime, done a lot of projects and outside things
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: beyond the pale of clergy And when I look around
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in our communities, it's not just preaching that we need.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We need information about business about entrepreneurship, recreating our lives.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: People who were a second chance citizens, ex offenders, how
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: do they get back up on their feet again? Mothers
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: who have empty nests, People trying to subsidenze their income,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: looking for a job when you may have to create
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the job that you need. And I wanted to tell
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a conversation with my generation about it. It's important. And
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: before we get into the book, it's two sections I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: want to talk about. It's the front of the book,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in the back of the book, and in front of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the book you talk about the Texas Offenders re Entry Initiative,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: which I knew nothing about. Let me give up my
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: listener to the background. Launching two thousand five, the t
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: o r I program has served over ten thousands formally
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and cost the radio adults across the state of Texas
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in healthcare, employment, housing, spirituality, education and but ten thousand,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Bishop TDJS, isn't that The number is actually up to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: seventeen thousand now that have gone through our program. We
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: meet them once they get out of prison. We put
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: them into a year or two two year training program
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that helps some of them to get g e D.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: S of them have gotten jobs as a result of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: being there. We direct them into housing, We work on
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: their family skills, We do anger management classes. We do
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: very practical dress how to dress for an interview, UH,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that sort of thing, and we continue to enhance it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I meet the CEOs and corporate leaders about giving a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: certain amount of job a lotments the second chance citizens,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and uh, we have had accommodations from the Obama administration.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We got down through the years, We've been appreciated by
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the criminal justice system, and we're getting ready to have
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a graduation insistently for a whole new match of students
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: who are coming through the program. So it's alive and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: well if you ever need me to speak to them,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm about motivation, about uplift. You know my life.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I've come from the inner city, fifth world. I've been fortunate.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: My degree is in mathematics and corporate trained and IBM,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and I just know that sometimes you need to hear
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a person just came from a community that wasn't supposed
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to be the blessed community, stepped out there was was
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was pushed in the right direction. You know what I'm saying.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: We all are pushed, but sometimes we don't we ignore
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that push or that motivation and the right people motivated me.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: And when I was at the front of the book,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I wanted to bring that out because if it's important
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to be in the book on one thing, I would say,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I bought the book on Kendle. I bought your books there.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: They could at least go online and update ten thousand
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and seventeen thousand. Okay, it's digital. They didn't go in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: there and change that ten thousand and seventeen thousand. Okay.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: You know. The number is so staggering. And people who
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: have been following me for years, some of them knowing,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: some of them do. If you follow me on social media,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you get to see the graduation and the clips of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the graduation, or if you remember my church, you know it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: But if you just watch my television, so you would
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: never know that we're doing anything like that. I know.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And there's another segment before we get in the book
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about is the back of the book. Okay,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: because it's an appendix section called where you it's called
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: definition of terms section where you really break down and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: explain to people what a sole proprietorship is, corporation is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: cash flow, balance sheet, and these are statements that scare
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: people because they don't know where to go. They don't
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: know where to turn. So and then you have another
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: section called other resource section where you explain to people
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: what a small business administration is and what website to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: go to, you know, all these A score website to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: go to, Black Enterprise, Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneur magazine, all these things.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Why was it important? Because I read a lot of books.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I've been motivated a lot over years, and I've been
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: fortunately they've done talk shows like you have, so I've
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: gotten a lot of books come my way over the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: last ten years of my life. I've never seen this
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in a book. Why did you decide to do to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a puff piece of fluff books? You know, you can
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: make it and name it and claim it and go
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: after your dreams and all that kind of stuff. Because
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: at the end of you know, motivation without information least
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to frustration. So I did not want to further motivate
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: people without providing the kind of information that would call
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: him to end up with frustration. Uh. Every And you
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: know that's well, if you've done entertainment business like you have,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: every genre of business has its own lingo and language.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: You can't function in that genre if you don't learn
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the language you you you wouldn't go to Spain to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: live and not learn Spanish. You wouldn't go to Paris
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and not learn French. And if you're going to go
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: into business, you have to learn the language. And I've
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: tried to make it simple enough. It's not like a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: whole foreign language, but there are some terms so that
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: when you're in a meeting, you have some sense of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: what they're talking about and you're not intimidated. So many
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: people are going in the business because they have a talent.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: They have the talent, but they don't have the terms.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And the terms helps you to be able to escalate
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the talent because then you can craft the business model
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to protect you because business is a jungle and you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: can get diviured out there if you don't know how
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to protect yourself and you. And that's why I was
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: telling everybody right now. The show Money Making Conversation is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: designed for entrepreneurship. Free information that I provide to my
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: listeners and viewers. If you on my Facebook page, this
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: is the first book I've ever encountered that is a book.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You go to the shelves, you walk away, and you
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: can build your career, build your life not only through
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: your faith, but all through two principles. Throughout this book,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it's about sorry. And the analogy is taken from the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: fact that as a kid, which I was related to.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I related to the fact that my dad, my dignity
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Land trip was to go to the airport and watch
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: your planes take off. Well you, when I read that,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I said, this is my book. It was chief entertainment
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: back then, we go to the airport Weston Place to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: take off. My kids would think we were crazy if
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I took them to the airport to Watson Players take off,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But it was the only kind of entertainment my parents
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: could afford. Uh. It led to be becoming fascinated with
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the Right Brothers. The Right Brothers become the metaphor for
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the book because they built their airplane in the bicycle
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: shop and and it just it's a great conversation that
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I love the writing the book, and that's the type
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: of terminology is going to be relatable. You know. The
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: next break, we're gonna go into more detail about the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: actual book because I want people to understand that it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: broken down in the four parts. I'm just gonna set
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: everybody up. It's four parts. Expand your vision, build your wings,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: clear the clouds, sorts of new heights. And when I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: when I, when I'm engaged in this next don't go
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: nowhere because you gotta hear the profound words of leadership,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: fellowship and UH and entrepreneurship. That's gonna let you know
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that you can win in the game of small business
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and game of life. And the one thing I also
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: took away from the book is that if you'n employee,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you should read this book because you are a brand
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and you should consider yourself an entrepreneur. We'll be right
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: back with more from Bishop t v j. We'll be
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: right back with more from mars Sean McDonald the Money
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Making Conversations. But don't touch that down. Hi, This Rashan McDonald.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: You're listening to money Making Conversation. I'm your host. On
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the phone is Bishop tv Jake's and we're gonna go
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: in more detail about sore New York Times bestseller Build
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: your Vision from the ground up, And I'm telling everybody
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it's truly is a person's blueprint for success. Bishop. The
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: reason I want to really start with your mom and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: your dad because see when when people write books. The
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: one thing I don't like when they write books, it's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: like they have no history and they don't have any resume.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Your mom was a real estate was involved in real estate,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and your father had a janitorial service. So you learned
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: this as as young as a youth. It was a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: conversation in my house every day. Was it ronment I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: grew up in and uh, my mother was always looking
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: for a deal or real estate and bound these pieces
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of property and collecting rent from them. And in fact,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: she did it when I was a child. She maintained
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that property throughout her life. My mother finally died at
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: seventy three with Alzheimer's, and even as she was fading away,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: my mother should had ripped money coming in that she
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: from houses. She couldn't remember anymore, and and it left
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: an indelible impression upon me because my mother was not
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: at the mercy of social security, She was not at
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the mercy of her teacher's retirement. Though she received that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: she had subsidized her income. And she becomes a catalyst
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: for conversation, particularly for women of color who have had
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to scratch their way up and fight themselves, fight the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: tide and the and and the male dominated uh disconnect
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that existed in our country today. I think my mother
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: is a source of great inspiration. And as another reason
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I gonnakeep, I'm gonna keep putting notches on why you
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: should read this book. You should read this book about
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: your mom because of the fact that you know, in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the times of racism, you know, and it was you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: this stills exist today, but back then, you know, for her,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: they had the inspiration. Understand, Okay, I'm a school teacher,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna put a little money over here, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go go get this one house, get this
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: one house. That is to me is that's that just
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: have experienced that lets me know why you're successful today.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: My mother bought so much real estate that they ended
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: up naming the street after her. She owned all the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: property on the street and property in other areas of
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the city. And so I had her on one hand
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and my dad was on the other hand, who started
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the business with the mom and the bucket and ended
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: up with fifty two employees in the sixties in West Virginia,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the second poorest state in the Union black in the sixties,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and he still worn in the art of business, my friend?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: What leads up to your book? My friend? So Bill,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: your vision from the up you broke it up in
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the four chapters. I'm just naming each chapters. Just give
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: me a short synopsis on why that chapter is important
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to first point one, expand your vision. You know, you
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: are no lord than the thoughts you think, and it's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: very very important to expend your reason. I see so
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: many people who are even working good jobs. We mentioned
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: before the break about people who are are on a
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: job and they're building a vision for the company, but
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they have but not built a brand for themselves. And
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: when the company gets finished with you, they tossed you aside.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: You're back to ground level zero. You have not used
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: those principles that you used for the company, you don't
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: use them for yourself. I think that's a very important
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: place to start. The fact that African American women and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: letting know women are going into business more readily than
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: any other people group is important to discuss as well,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: because they're also going out of business because they don't
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: really have sustainability or access to finances in order to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: be productive. So I start out by talking about vision.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Everything starts with the vision, expanding your vision, going to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: new horizons, always being progressive, not being so busy doing
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the work that you don't get to think the work
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you do. Most entrepreneurs, the same thing that made them
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: great is killing them. They're so busy doing the work
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that they don't get a chance to think the work.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And they cannot confuse business with business. You have two
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: chapters here, chapter two and chapter three. Build your wings
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and clear the clouds. You have to build your own wings.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I use again the metaphor the Right brothers, and it
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: took them forever to get the plane in the air,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: but they had to build their own wings in order
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to get it done. It's not gonna happen through magic.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: It is a building process. It is not going to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: come through osmosis or just because you put a nice
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: picture on social media. And I deeply believe in marketing
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: through social media, but that it's not gonna come through
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: magic like that. And I talked about building those wings
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: because when you think of a business, a business is
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: not a destination, it's a transportation. The destination was to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: get in the clouds. The transportation was the plane. So
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: your ghost should not be to have a business Your
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: ghost should be to have economic equity and your flight
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: pattern and your wing is through your business. And if
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the goal is to have a business, you can have
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: a businesses start to death. The ghost should be to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: have economic liquidity so that you have something pass onto
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: your errors and be able to bless your community, your generation,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: so into your charities and whatever you that's a goal.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Now what are we gonna build to accomplish the goal?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Too many people see the business as the goal. The
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: business is not the goal. It is not the ends.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It's the means. You have to build those wings to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: get you to the end of where you're trying to go. Wow.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: In the last cap last like, there's four parts. Expand
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: your vision, build your wings, clear the clouds, and the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: finaling one is sore to new heights, keep evolving, keep growing.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Whether you build the business to sell, and there are
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: logical reasons why many people build a business with selling
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: in mind, or whether you build a business to pass
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on as a legacy to your tutor, you have to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: keep momentum. You have to keep momentum. It is the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: thrust that keeps the plane in the air. If you
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: lose your thrust, the plane will fall the law of
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: aero dynamics supersedes the law of gravity. And this is
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the issue in all of our lives. We have a
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: gravitational pull that's always trying to pull us back down
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to where we came from. In order to escape that
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: gravitational pull, you must maintain momentum. So you must be airborne.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Must maintain momentum, keep growing, keep building, keep going forward,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: because if an airport, if an airplane stops his thrust,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: it will immediately fall to the ground. Ladies and gym instore,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: build your vision from the ground up. Bishop T. D.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Jake reveals how to build a uniquely personal vision within you,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: within you, listen to me, within you, into your own
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: special and making have you make your own special contributions
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to the world by blending common sense and information. That's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: what this book springs to you, common sense and information,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and he wraps it up with faith. Don't ever walk
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: out that door thinking faith does not play a major role.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: That's why I loved about this book because from a
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: minister's from a ministrel manager, from a preaching standpoint, you know,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: we know what you do. You a bishop, you didn't.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: You didn't start the book out like that. You go
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: through it all. I'mna lead out the stories with Oprah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the Shelle Nichols as the Lieutenant hur You talked about Ms. Robbin,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you talked about padd lit Bell, how she saw an opportunity,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: she just pray on it, she acts on it. She
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: acted on it. And that's what I love about this
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: book because you're telling people, Look, i'm gonna tell you
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: about business first, and then we're gonna pray. In a minute,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: though we're gonna pray, but let gonna tell you this
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: is the business principle. Don't put prayer of it for
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: business this name and that is why I love these
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: books are and um wow, I know it's I know it.

  Speaker 1: maintaining because in many ways. In order to run a
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: church with any staff at all, you have to have
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: some business acumen. Even if it's just to acquire property
• 18:39
