Confident, loud, and proud… These are just words if you don’t embody them in your work…

In whatever business you are doing, it is important that you are confident in yourself and your business. You need to know what it is you are doing and where you stand; with that comes confidence in your mission and what you’re doing. This is crucial to the success of your business.
Don’t allow anything to stifle you; you must be strong in your process and the steps you are taking.

Haters gonna hate… let ‘em hate.

You’re gonna be told that you shouldn’t do what you’re doing or that you should get something more secure for your future. Because they lack confidence, don’t allow them to break you.

You may hear how you are a fool or reckless or even irresponsible… these are all just words from an outsider’s perspective. You’ve got a plan, you’ve got a mission, and business model in place… You know where you are going and what you are doing. Don’t lose that… Be confident.

Tell everyone… tell them wherever and whenever you see them or hear from them. Go out of your way to find those you haven’t told and tell them. There’s no shame in your game… just keep spittin’ it.

When you are an entrepreneur, you have to be a shameless self-promoter. DJ Khaled has to be one of the all-time greatest self-promoters ever! He is a dj, rapper, producer, and a promoter He is actually really great at all of them but he takes promoting to a new level… Every song that he is featured on as well as many he produces, he shouts his name as well as his record label. As of the last year or so, he has actually began referring to himself as “Father of Ahsad” and shouts that in his songs. His son is Ahsad and is now the president of his record label and that’s the name of his latest album. This is a man who has built a billion dollar empire and past it on to his son at the age of two years old and he takes a lot of pride in promoting his business as well as his son. He has made sure that his name is known even if you are not a fan of his music. He also uses product placement with many of his investments as well as some of his friends’ investments in the music videos he produces.

Many people have a problem doing this… they get intimidated or just feel uncomfortable. You must become comfortable with promoting yourself and your brand.

The more who know you, the more your business can grow. This will continue to expand the potential of your business and client base in whatever you do. This is important. Take some pride in your business and in yourself.

You have to be willing to do what it takes to get your business out there and develop not just the brand for yourself but a presence for your brand.

“I’m going to have so many packages to mail out every day,” Corey II sad to me the other day. It was such a proud moment.

Corey and Colton both talk to me all the time about my work which is so awesome. They are only 4 and 5 and they are interested in what Daddy is doing which to those of you who are moms and dads know that is something so special. I love that they want to know. It is a great feeling, but I also want to teach them so they will be able to make great choices with their life based on my experience and knowledge, they will not go through the things I have put myself through; they will be smarter and wiser.

The other day, I found myself amidst a great conversation with my boys. They were in the back seat and telling me about my work. So, as you may already know, one of my many business practices is a reselling business. I have three different online stores that I buy/sell and flip products all the time. My boys are very well aware of this; they have gone with me to many auctions and gone with me to buy new products and even helped package things to be shipped out. Mostly Corey has been interested, but he is older… Colton has shown interest but not on the level that Corey has.

….so, back to our conversation… They were telling me about my work… Corey was telling me how he had lots of work to do this week. I responded expressing that I had much to do as well… Corey proceeded to explain how he had all these packages to get out and so much work to do. I asked him if he would like to work with Daddy. He said, “yes.” I told him that I could teach him and Colton what I do, and they could help me. One day I could be there job. Corey responded, “I’m going to have so many packages to mail out every day.” I was so proud that he knew he could do it and although he didn’t completely process it all, he was confident in his success as well.

Truthfully, if you have gotten started building your business at an earlier stage in life, before you have a family and children, you have nothing on your plate and no excuses for not reaching great success…. But if you already have a family and children, you have something greater that you are fighting for. You are growing and developing all of this for them. They deserve you giving all you’ve got to your business… In no way am I saying to neglect time with them as that is crucially vital. But do not allow your business to suffer because of it. Dig deep, forgo sleep, rest and leisure, and fight and build this company.

Grow your business not just for you, but for them. Even if they chose to walk their own path; having seen you grow your business, will teach them discipline as well as ambition and so much more. They will learn from your actions and the way you grow with your business.

You are growing more than a business… more than an empire… You are growing a legacy to pass on to your little ones as they grow.

You know me, I’m all about the hustle. You gotta grind, hustle, and Get Cocky.

But sometimes, you must take a moment to sit back and breathe…and there is no better way to take a breath than on a beautiful beach amongst some good company.

I enjoyed four days on the beach with my lovely wife and our amazing little boys…They would quickly correct me and remind me they are BIG… haha. Which was most definitely what I needed. Sometimes, we really just need to breathe and take some time away from all the hustlin’. This is something easily said, but can you really take the time and make the difference?

What I mean is… Can you get away for a moment? Take the time and breathe and really make those moments count?

It is hard to walk away from your business that you are growing, but at some point, you really need to. For your own sanity, you need a moment…

With that being said, it needs to be a productive moment.

A productive moment is one literally absent from work. You must be able to shut down and disengage for you and your family; this can be both therapeutic and refreshing.

Once you have your moment, you must return refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to hustle like never before. Those moments are critical to your sanity and to your motivation. Don’t get it twisted; those moments do not come without a cost. You earn them before you take them and pay for them when you return.

When you return to work, you can not return as though you had a day off or an extended weekend. You are an entrepreneur and growing an empire. You are building something far too large that needs your attention. When you come back rejuvenated and revived, you’ve got to come in fully joy and ready to hustle!

Now you’re back and need to capitalize on every moment.

Stay strong. Keep Hustlin’ and Get Cocky.
