Good morning Ladies It has been a very long time since I’ve been on here and posted. Just wanted to share my thoughts with women who understand. Lately I’ve been in high spirits, even tho my situation is not the best I have been trusting and believing that God has it already worked out. Today as I was working, I felt the weight of the world hit me, and my energy was shifted into anger, and depression. As I’m sitting here confused how fast that shift happened (literally in the blink of an eye). Then it hit me. For as long as I can remember I’ve been trying to be everything for everyone else while giving myself nothing. I’ve depleted myself to make sure those around me are good, all while I’m drowning in my own sorrows and depression. No one check in the one who checks on everyone. Loosing my identity very young affects me now because I do not know who Chanell is other than being a mother, daughter, sister, manager, friend, cousin, and aunt. I’ve been holding on to parent guilt that I no longer will allow to bind me. Past hurt , resentment, fears, guilt, or procrastination will not be my story. My mindset has shifted and it’s like I want so much more for me but I don’t know where to start. I don’t know what God is doing in the spiritual realm but in the natural I choose to trust and believe that the battle had been won and no more chains will bound me. I decree and declare I will be free. I hope this helps someone. Have a great day ladies

I just want to remind everyone in this community… You do NOT have to stay where you started. Some of yall joined this community scared, overwhelmed, doubting yourself, overthinking every move, and honestly just tired of surviving. But look at you now… learning new skills, building brands, creating stores, showing up, investing in yourself, and finally believing that MORE is possible for your life. That matters. Do not compare your Chapter 1 to somebody else's Chapter 20. Success is not built overnight. It is built through consistency, discipline, sacrifice, and execution. The people you admire kept going when they were confused, tired, broke, uncomfortable, and unseen. Keep posting.Keep learning.Keep building.Keep showing up. One product can change your life. One video can go viral. One connection can open the right dooe. One decision can shift your entire bloodline. I created this community for executors. People ready to stop making excuses and start creating freedom, wealth, confidence, and legacy. You belong in rooms that elevate you. You deserve success.And you are more capable than you think. Now lock in.Your future is watching.

My daughter rolled her chair over to my desk yesterday and asked me, Mom do you ever think you would go broke. I looked her dead in her eyes and said Hell nah. She said never. I said never. Then I asked her what made her ask that and she said I dont know. And listen. That question hit different because my children will never fully understand what it takes to create a life where broke is not even a word in your vocabulary. They only know the version of me that is calm, covered, and calculated. They dont remember the nights I stayed up building, learning, fixing, praying, planning, and making hard decisions when nobody was clapping. And let me talk to you for a second because some of yall keep thinking wealth is luck or a gift God gives to the most liked. No. Wealth is a system. Wealth is a standard. Wealth is the result of someone deciding to stop playing with their own life. I wake up not woke. Meaning I wake up aware. I wake up intentional. I wake up with strategy. I wake up with discipline. I wake up with purpose. I do not wake up looking for a reason to be offended. I wake up looking for a reason to execute. The world will tell you to be humble but they dont even know what humility is. Humility is not pretending you are not blessed. Humility is being grateful while still owning what you built. Humility is giving God the credit while still respecting the work you put in. Humility is not shrinking so insecure people can feel comfortable. People will say why her and not me. Because while you were asking for shortcuts I was building structure. While you were waiting on motivation I was operating in discipline. While you were entertaining distractions I was investing in myself. I poured three million into knowledge. Not because I wanted to sound smart. Because I wanted to stay sharp. Because I wanted to be dangerous in rooms that change bloodlines. Let social media be your mirror. Every day I open it and I see the reason so many people stay stuck. Procrastination. Excuses. No planning. No budgeting. No skill building. No self control. Just vibes and complaints. Year after year the same conversations, the same struggle, the same story.

Let’s get real for a moment… Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions of your life and nobody should have to walk into it feeling confused or alone. I want to understand your experience. Your fears. Your questions. Your “I wish someone would just explain this to me…” moments. So tell me this: “I would feel so much more confident about buying a home if I understood ______.” There’s no wrong answer. Say it honestly. You never know, your words might help someone else breathe easier too. 🏡
