Outwitting the Devil By: Napoleon Hill *HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

EDIT: OCTOBER 3, 2025 I want to provide some more motivation for the YM2 Academy Community. I gave another presentation yesterday to a different group of more established investors and real estate investment association (REIA) leaders. The presentation went well and I got about 20% interested with QR code scans. I've had many visits to my exhibitor table leading to people signing up for my program and also have been invited to present in person and virtually to a few groups in different states! The presentation was a gateway to having table visits and conversation starters at the networking opportunities which led to a lot more positive responses from these old heads, especially after getting to know one another and after building rapport. (Tip: let people talk about themselves and keep asking follow up questions. They'll lower their guard and like you a lot faster). Follow the formula for what you're learning in this program and you'll see success in relating to people by being your authentic self and showing them how you can help them in their goals! ********************************************************************************************************* If I may, I’d like to offer some Tuesday motivation for you and gratitude towards Marichel and Yonnick. I took their first Public Speaking class last year. Of course it was great, but I’m a very direct person. I was skeptical that telling people my story to relate to others would work instead of my normal method of just directly explaining what I do. I had a presentation over the weekend at a multifamily event in front of 500+ people to pitch my services. @Yonnick and Marichel Matthews critiqued my presentation a week prior and Yonnick mentored the hell out of me for about 2 hours. I did exactly what he said. I added the emotions, the panic and stress of what the audience was going through and offered the solution. My jokes hit and I asked for permission to tell them more to a very boisterous “yes!” from the crowd which actually startled me a bit. Even when the audiovisual guy mistakenly turned off the slideshow, I jokingly asked the crowd to boo him, which deflected from a minor mistake, but lightened up the moment, which would’ve otherwise probably stressed me. That moment which began with lighthearted booing, erupted into laughter from the crowd.When my presentation was done, I received a thunderous round of applause from the crowd. Shortly after I received a trickle of attendees to my exhibitor table, and I thought that maybe I didn’t do so well after all. However, upon the first break, I was bombarded over the next couple days with hundreds of conversations from different people, about 400 scans to my QR code and dozens of people registered for my webinar! I was accused and asked by attendees if I was a professional speaker, if I was an actor, and even complimented on my dramatic pauses, so the room could be filled with motion, which is what Yonnick told me to do. Little did the crowd know that I would hit periods of nervousness, which would cause me to pause and also forget what I was about to say. It turns out that while I was perceiving nervousness, stress and panic, the crowd was perceiving powerful emotions.

Please Join us in congratulating @Rhonetta Cooper on her special day! We wish you and hubby a lifetime of love, happiness, and amazing moments to share with family and friends. Cheers 🥂
