I celebrated my birthday in Nigeria and Ghana this year and it was a blast. Claiming this is gonna be the best year of my life to date in the next year, it’ll get better… 2026 is starting off strong…. I’ll set an event with over 600 entrepreneurs in Ghana! It was EPIC! This is our second time doing this event here… Then I flew to Nigeria I have a birthday dinner with my Nigerian family… Eno who is one of my longest standing clients turned sister and her mom and sister welcomed with open arms… Nigeria is a complete vibe! P.S. If you know how to market anywhere those concepts apply globally. So many people limit themselves to just doing business on the U.S. when if you just learn business you can do it almost anywhere… Make this the year you dominate globally…

“Make sure you don’t lose your man.” That’s what an older sistah told me after I graduated law school. She meant well. She really believed love, success, calling, and purpose couldn’t live in the same house. But MY Bible says differently. “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows grace and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” — Psalm 84:11 So why would I believe God blesses me with brilliance…just to punish me for using it? Why would I believe He puts desire in my heart… just to shame me for wanting more? Lack is not holy. Shrinking is not spiritual. Fear is not discernment. Don’t choose between obedience and abundance. The Bible never asked you to pick. You don’t lose your man by walking in purpose. I don’t think a woman can “lose” a man actually but that’s a different post. Be who you’re supposed to be and let life show you how good it can get. And you don’t get everything you want by hustling harder… You get it by becoming the woman who can HOLD what God is trying to HAND you. Here’s the real formula: • Desire needs permission. You can’t receive what you won’t admit you want. • Fear loves inaction. Courage happens after the movement, not before. • Obedience needs identity. Corporate may have conditioned you. But God called you. • Abundance needs alignment. Stop praying for overflow while practicing lack. 👉And here’s what most women don’t know: If God designed you for MORE, peace will leave every time you settle for LESS. You’re not confused. You’re conditioned. You’re not stuck. You’re misaligned. Fix the identity… and everything you want stops running from you. P.S. If you’re a licensed expert looking to make more sales, hi!

The day I became a mom is the day my excuses died and my creativity exploded. Why? Because constraints breed creativity. I didn’t become more successful when I finally had more time. I became more successful when I had close to none. And the breakthrough hit me on a school day… the SAME day I found out my daughter had an activity I refused to miss. So here’s what happened. I learned late that she had something at school. And it was the exact day of a launch. Old me would’ve panicked, rearranged everything, justified rescheduling my launch, or told myself, “Girl, you’ll catch the next one; not your faukt you learned late.” But I made a promise: I will not build a business that makes me miss my daughter’s life. So I pre-recorded the launch. Showed up for my daughter instead. And that “oh-well-let-me-just-try-this” launch did $250,000. That moment changed everything for me. Because the truth I didn’t want to admit was this: When I had all the time in the world, I never figured out Evergreen. Never built the system. Never made it urgent. Never made it essential. But when my time got constrained? When I had a daughter to support? Suddenly I had 24 hours to get something up or lose the revenue entirely. Three weeks before my next launch, I had zero bandwidth to go live. So within 72 hours, I put up an evergreen webinar. Watched the stats. Re-recorded it. And now? We have an Evergreen sales engine that sells tickets to Land Big Clients™ every 15 minutes… 24 hours a day… with a 50% show-up rate… and it’s converting ABOVE industry average. Not because I had more time. But because I didn’t. And that’s when it hit me: People say, “If you want something done, give it to a busy person,” because busy people no longer have the luxury of self-sabotage. When you have less time, you’re forced to choose wisely or accept defeat. And I was unwilling to accept defeat. Entrepreneurial freedom is not “I have nothing on my calendar.” It’s: I trust myself.

I used to say, “Chris and I left ministry…” but the truth is—we didn’t. It just looks different now. Chris was in seminary to be a pastor. Third-generation preacher’s kid. His dad pastors a historic apostolic church on the west side of Chicago. Me? I didn’t have that same call to the pulpit, but I was down to serve right alongside him. At 22 and 24, we were young and married—learning, growing, doing street ministry, feeding folks, running youth programs. We loved the people and the purpose. That heart to serve never left. It just evolved. When we started Speak Your Way To Cash®, we thought we were stepping away from ministry. Turns out, God was just giving us a new platform. Now, every event we host cording to @yolanda_k_churchwell feels like “business church.” People tell us they feel different after attending—and that’s because love, faith, and service are built into the DNA of everything we do. Our whole family’s involved—Chris, my mom, my brothers, my baby girl, my nieces and nephews. It’s a full-blown family mission. Ministry didn’t end. It expanded. So if you’ve ever felt called to serve but thought, “I’m not supposed to be in a pulpit,” hear me—ministry isn’t confined to a stage. It’s anywhere you love, lead, and lift people higher in the name of Jesus. It’s wear you surrender your plans to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And hear me on this; whatever you put your hands to do you’re supposed to work as unto God. That means learning and executing in excellence. That includes investing to be the best at your craft and putting in as much time as it takes to be great. If your business is a gift from God treat it with the respect such a gift deserves. God can use your voice—right where you are. Maybe more of us are in ministry than we think. 😉
