Work Smarter? Nah. Work in Alignment.
"Work smarter, not harder...
"You’ve heard it. Maybe said it. But until this month, I hadn’t lived it.
Let me tell you what actually happened—and how it’s changing everything for me going into 2026.
📉 The Raise That is Humbling Me
and I had $1.26M in soft commitments, mostly from amazing—but unaccredited—investors we’ve built real trust with.
Then came the deal.
✅ It made sense on paper
✅ Strong team behind it
❌ But it required accredited-only capital
Suddenly, 90% of our investor base couldn’t play.
We were stuck mid-raise, holding potential that couldn’t be unlocked.
That moment hit me:
I was trying to finish something I never should’ve started.
🧠 The Shift
Instead of pushing a deal uphill, I asked: “What if I flipped this?”
What if I started with the capital mandates like Marichel suggested—the investor criteria—and then found the deal?
And now, I’m doing just that:
- Building decks for fund managers, financial advisors, big check writers
- Sourcing deals that match their criteria
- Partnering with experienced underwriters and full-cycle operators
- Showing up in every call like it’s the one conversation that changes everything
Because you never know which one will be.
🙏 Reconnecting to My Real “Why”
I used to say things like:
“I want to be a good man.”
“I want to be a role model.”
All true.
But now I know what I really mean:
I want to take care of the people I love. I want to do dope, legacy-level work with , , , , , , , and so many more that I can't tag here. I want to free my family, retire my parents, and bless everyone connected to me. Myron says money moves in the direction of value and alignment. Maxwell says people move when you speak from authentic conviction.
Now?
I’m not chasing deals.
I’m aligning money with mission.
I’m letting my why do the leading and executing at a higher level than I thought I could—and letting God handle the rest.
🚨 If You’re in YM2, Here’s What I’d Tell You:
- Don’t wait for January 1. Start now. Legitimately... right now. This moment. This second.
- Don’t “just raise capital.” Build relationships. Deepen belief. Continue to practice the lessons you've learned from our mentors.
- Don’t chase momentum. Create alignment. You have so much more value than you might believe even if you're at the apex of society.
Your greatest investor is already in your life. Your breakthrough is already on your calendar. Your raise is one conversation away. Walk in that.
🧠 Final Thought
2025 was wild.
2026 will be wiser.
If you're in this tribe, you're not here by accident. You're here because God is prepping you for stewardship at scale. Your higher self guided you here. It's not an accident - you're the one of your family.
Let’s go build.
See y’all at the next Bean Scene, seminar, or stage.
