My daughter made me Realize
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.
And I dont say that to judge you. I say that to wake you up. Because life is not going to feel sorry for you. Bills do not care about your feelings. Your future does not care what you meant to do. Your children do not benefit from your potential. They benefit from your execution.
My kids have a legacy already prepared. A trust. College fund. Wedding fund. IRA. Investments. Real wealth moves. Because I did not get wealthy to misuse money. I got wealthy to position my bloodline.
Broke is not my story.
Struggle is not my destiny.
And lack is not my inheritance.
If you are tired of the same year on repeat and you are ready to build your own system, comment READY and I will tell you the first move to make.
