Mogul Motivation

This is a Mogul Motivation re-run from February 17th, 2016. In this episode I talked about why it's important to keep your dreams confidential.

You have nothing to prove to yourself. You did great things once, and you will do great things again, in due time.

This episode of Aspire Higher I talk with Curtis Rowe who has found success in every arena he stepped into. He gives us insight on his drive and how he remained motivated over the course of thirty years.

Do you REALLY want the know the reasons WHY you aren't succeeding? Or would you rather focus that energy on solutions?

We renege and self sabotage ourselves because we "think" we were destined for hardship in the beginning. When actually we were destined for greatness.

Do you want to accumulate money because it's money? Or do you want to accumulate money to use as a tool for something greater?

Turmoil, chaos, wind, waves, and fear may cloud your vision to see what's across those troubled waters. But with faith as your navigation and a strong conviction that sunnier and better days are ahead you will and can get through it.

Write down all of your visions, goals, and desires. Make it plain just as the Good Book says. Then SPEAK life into those very same words.

We as a people use "bad things" to numb our pain from bad days. Drug abuse comes in many forms. What if I told you that this world was so full of bad news it actually numbs our natural state of mind? It's time to activate that powerful drug deep inside that will carry us to overcome those bad days. It's called enthusiasm.

During those dark periods in your life you may feel lost, helpless, and want to throw in the towel. But there is a light that will continue to guide you step by step if you are willing to trust it.

Storm is one of the most powerful X-men because she can control the weather however she desires. Unlike Storm, we can't control the weather. Literally and metaphorically. But we have the power to push through every season that passes through our lives and entrepreneurial journeys

"Flexing" on others should never be a priority. Even if they wronged you. You may not be a success yet in your eyes, but in the grand scheme of things you have achieved success already. Despite racism, capitalism, trauma, and many other unseen evil forces in this world you're still here. If you are going to flex on anything, flex on that.

When you have goals to achieve you have to understand you will be uncomfortable for a long period of time. And no one knows how long that period may be. That's why you have to become comfortable during that uncomfortable period. If you can do that your endurance will be stronger and then before you know it your struggles TODAY will be far better than your best effort YESTERDAY.

Giving is essential to your personal and business growth. We have to create the reality for others that we wish existed for us sometimes. It's a great thing because not only are you pouring into someone else, but you are also investing in your future; whether it's financial, mental, or spiritual.

Why is it so hard to tell yourself "it WILL work out" and so easy to tell yourself "it won't work out" It's because you have lost faith and hope in your goals, but the good news is you're still qualified for The Grace Grant. And it doesn't have an expiration date.

Entrepreneurs and Dream chasers face many barriers to entry as we seek success. It can become extremely frustrating and discouraging. So much so that we begin to worship these barriers because we *think* the barriers will become our salvation. That line of thinking is very dangerous and far from the truth. That's why the "g" in god in today's episode is lowercased.

When we hear "generational wealth" we automatically think about tangible things such as currency, mansions, boats, cars, etc. But generational wealth has many forms that are intangible like love, support, and inspiration. This is how Darrius Gates got to where he is today and why he's so focused on paying it forward. www. DTGates.com

This is a very traumatic world we live in. On all fronts. It's very discouraging especially if you have goals you're striving for. Nevertheless, as long as we have air in our lungs we have the power to write our own scripts and give ourselves, and others, the happy ending we deserve.

Shawn Michelle's Homemade Ice cream is the brainchild of YahYa Muhammad. Like many entrepreneurs he was met with hurdle after hurdle, and even tragedy unfortunately, but it was his strong faith that knocked down every barrier. This episode of Aspire Higher YahYa navigates us through his journey from inception to manifestation. https://www.shawnmichelles.com/

"Denied" "Declined" Seeing those words suck and can be extremely frustrating. It's better to see "Approved" or "Accepted" Maybe though, just maybe, we get denied and declined, so we can never forget the blessings that brought us to this point in the first place.

You work so hard to build something then it comes tumbling down. Because of inconsistency, because of people telling you "No", because of many hurdles. That can be very frustrating and disheartening. The only thing we can do in these situations however is to keep the pace and place our trust in something greater!

It's easy to remind yourself of the bad things, but it's hard to tell yourself the great things. Change the conversations you have with yourself and watch your behavior shift.

Peace supersedes Paychecks. Regardless of how big that paycheck is. We work jobs we don't care for simply because we need the money. We set aside stress, depression, and health for money. These jobs are a huge distraction and preventing us from pursuing our passions. Whether that is your dream career or your business there will come a time where you must shift your faith from money to God and just...

Chanell Hale started a simple hobby in college: Cooking. That hobby became a business, that business became a non profit, that non profit became a movement. And that movement ultimately became a lifestyle. www. Dreamyventscatering.com

Storms rage at ocean level. Waves rise 40feet high, winds blow 100mph, rain, thunder, lightning are in an abundance. But if you go 100 feet below the surface there are no signs of a storm. It's just peace and calm. That contrast applies to entrepreneurs and Dream chasers alike.
