Blog postPhoto by Birmingham Museums Trust on Unsplash I was setting up my will/trust the other day and was collaborating with my mother since she is very involved with these types of documents. She encouraged me to get these documents in place because when people die with money left over, recipients of the fortune can turn into another person — not for better, but for worse. If there is no money left, there is nothing to fight over. But if there is a great deal of money left over, that is the mo

Blog postPhoto by Vlad Sargu on Unsplash Growing up, I frequented nursing homes to visit with the elderly, share stories, play music, and provide a comforting presence, but I hadn’t done it in years. One of my family members works with the elderly who are inching toward the end of life.
I recently visited family, and the opportunity arose to visit a home care facility for the elderly who have an estimated six months left to live.
Lesson 1: Don’t be too busy. Someone asked two pa -

Blog postPhoto by Peter Conlan on Unsplash Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck, which means most Americans are broke; this also means most Americans have not attained financial freedom.
How can you achieve financial freedom? It’s more simple than you think. First, a person needs to develop a mindset that is molded for abundance. Second, a person needs to implement 4 habits that will help elevate their finances.
If you have the following 4 things in place, you should never be bro -
Blog postPhoto by Austin Distel on Unsplash The day I left Edward Jones, I felt a big relief. The shackles I had been wearing for close to two decades were finally released. I left the firm I started my financial journey with and said my final goodbye to open myself to a new world of empowerment, and for good reasons.
Reason 1: Weird “fees.” Every time I took a look at my account, I noticed weird “unmarked” fees and then fee reversals. I prefer transparent fees. Let me clearly know how -
Blog postPhoto by brut carniollus on Unsplash As we age, many of us tend to isolate ourselves and get stuck into monotonous living patterns. Until one day, we wake up with this knawing feeling of loneliness and realize we are by ourselves or surrounded by people, yet are experiencing this inescapable feeling of loneliness that we can’t seem to eradicate. This doesn't have to be the case for you. As a society— and I am primarily referencing America for now — continues to move in the direction of m

Blog postPhoto by Michal Matlon on Unsplash I have read many of Dave Ramsey’s books, and at the beginning of my journey to financial freedom, his advice seemed sound, but as I went along, I started to feel some resistance to following all 7 baby steps. This leads back to my philosophy that you should question everything and decide which methods will work best for you and your life.
Before we jump into my dissent, though, let’s take a quick dive into a breakdown of Dave Ramsey’s 7 baby step -
Blog postPhoto by Daniel Cheung on UnsplashIt’s interesting. My parents had me do all of the following growing up: Read Robert T. Kiyosaki books @ the dinner table as kids
Open up with my ROTH IRA @ age 14
Start my own business @ 10 years old
Publish my first book @ age 11
Become an entrepreneur in elementary school through various side gigs — including establishing a lemonade stand, selling Arbonne with my mom, cleaning churches, cleaning upscale condominiums, wr -
Blog postPhoto by Chris Liverani on UnsplashMy Good Fortune The Edward Jones advisor sat with me at our dinner table, and she then introduced me to the world of IRAs. It was that simple. At the time, I didn’t realize how invaluable the IRA tool is, but I’m forever grateful to my parents for getting me set up with one so early.

Blog postPhoto by Dev Asangbam on Unsplash It can be easy to forget the “why” behind why you go to work, earn a living, and do all the mundane things you do each day.
Whenever you wake up feeling low, dreading to go to work, dreading the day, and dreading everything else, remember your “why.”
If you don’t have a “why,” you can do 1 of 2 things:
Choose to continue your life as is without the low feeling
Choose to find your “why,” make a new decision, and change your emo -
Blog postPhoto by Jason Abdilla on Unsplash Many of us often forget how much power we have to change our situations, but we have to get in enough pain or change our situations bad enough to change them. We have to get in enough pain to let go of what doesn’t serve us well.
What are you currently unhappy or unsatisfied within your life?
What about your current situation are you absolutely DONE dealing with?
What about your current situation do you wish to change?

Blog postPhoto by Simon Berger on Unsplash “No one said life was easy. No one said it would be fair. Don’t forget, though, that you come from a long, unbroken line of ancestors who survived unimaginable adversity, difficulty, and struggle. It’s their genes and their blood that run through your body right now. Without them, you wouldn’t be here.” — The Daily Stoic, p170.
Legendary comebacks I was chatting with one of my closest friends and admiring him for all of his amassed success. Though, -
Blog postPhoto by Guillaume de Germain on Unsplash Let’s face it, we all experience situations in our lives at times that we wish we were not facing.
During these times, many of us feel: bleak, desolate, depressed, hopeless, uncertain, ungrateful, and pessimistic.
Somehow, though, we must foresee the silver lining; we must stop, breathe, and feel the warmth of the sun in the midst of the dark and rainy winter storm.
It’s not easy to see the other side or “good parts” of a sit -
Blog postPhoto by Jamie Haughton on Unsplash Disclaimer: I love watching classic movies, and the title of this piece comes from a quote in a movie called “Peyton Place.”
The Anti-Entrepreneurial Dilemma Most people are not entrepreneurs. Why? Mostly because it’s hard, and people have a gigantic and unreasonable fear of failure.
In the movie “Peyton Place,” there was a quick dialogue between two people, and I had to pause the movie and write this article immediately.
The Dialogue < -
Blog postPhoto by Miguel A. Amutio on Unsplash Sometimes people will say things about us or to us that put us on the defensive — mostly because there is truth (even an ounce) in the statement.
Sometimes, feedback is completely off and not a reflection of who you are but of the person giving the feedback.
But most times, there is something in the feedback that can help us grow and refine our strengths and weaknesses.
Feedback is another term for constructive criticism.

Blog postPhoto by Armin Lotfi on Unsplash If you are defeated once and tell yourself you will overcome, but carry on as before, know in the end you’ll be so ill and weakened that eventually you won’t even notice your mistake and will begin to rationalize your behavior. — Epictetus, Discourses, 2.18.31
If you claim you desire change but aren’t putting in the effort to make the change, you are straight-up lying to yourself. If you genuinely desire something, you will go after it, and you wil -
Blog postPhoto by Dominik Dancs on Unsplash How tied up one becomes
In the intricacies that life brings, someone
Goals pile and pile
We continue to work tile after tile
The carousel never ends
It only stops and starts again
If one stops to breathe
They’ll just remember
It’s time to plant another seed
— Destiny S. Harris

We are more than just our physical appearance.
We are more than just our faces.

We are more than just our handbags.
We are more than just something to gaze at.
