The Present 🎁

Okay, so let’s start in 2022 and work back. 2022 has been a big adjustment for me. For those that don’t know I took a break from my full time Job (police officer) because I was injured in 2021. When I got injured it made me focus on things I really wanted to do so I started my non-profit ( Dream Come True) and my financial coaching one-on-one sessions. Who told me that starting a business would be easy, because chileeeee I wasn’t ready AT ALL, lol. My clientele went threw the roof when I posted a tiktok and it took me from 7 clients to 150 in a matter of days and it became overwhelming and time consuming… but this is what I asked for. I continued to ask god to show me the way, guide my foot steps and allow me to live in and see my purpose til today I still talk to about 25 (5 became dedicated mentees) of my clients they check in often. 

While I took a break from coaching this year (2022) I got more involved with real estate and I am currently working on property 3 🎉 and it WASN'T EASY. I often wish I started earlier and had someone to mentor me through the process because I made a lot of mistakes along the way. I’ll first start by saying a 9-5 job can get you a lot of places don’t ever let someone discourage you from earning stable income my job with the  Metropolitan Police Department has paved a way for my family and I. I have been able to buy real estate and continuing to buy real estate, buy any material item I’d like, cars, any activity my daughter is interested in I can afford, trips, investing, SEVERAL saving accounts, and so much more. Sometimes society wants you to think the only way you can be successful is by quitting a job and becoming a full time entrepreneur, when life could be so much easier if you “stay down” and focus. Other times YOU are in your own head asking yourself repeatedly if you should do this or that, just set a plan and SEE IT THROUGH. I have missed so many events, outings, trips and more from 2017-2021 because I was focused on a bigger picture. I had to dedicate myself to making my dreams- my reality. Along the way I had to block some family members, disconnect from some friends and decide who was best for me. I now understand that god will keep you still if you can’t let go of the very thing that’s holding you back. Often, we hear “be humble, your not better than anyone” but realistically, Are you not? I mean let’s be serious would you say your equal to a homeless drug addict and not the personality in itself but the circumstances. When I changed the group of people around me I noticed I never heard “be humble”, “don’t brag”, “it could be gone in a minute” ; because already successful individuals won’t force you to dim your light. You have to be intentional about your life, your surroundings, your peace, your friends, your mentors, your career, and your path and purpose. 

After, many sacrifices I can finally say I am free- FREE FROM DEBT, FREE FROM WORRY, FREE FROM STRESS. I can say money don’t fix everything but it does make one less thing to stress about and things become so much easier. 

In 2021, I told myself I wanted to work towards putting all of my bills on autopay, pay my car off, and never have to worry about my card declining when I am out somewhere or even looking in my account to check the balance. And guess what …. I can finally say WE DID IT (me and god) , I don’t have a single financial hardship or struggle. I am living the exact life I want to be WORRY-FREE and it feels good. 

It feels good to get paid everyday, it feels good to not worry about bills, or how my daughter will get to college or eat or get the things she want. 

It just feels so good and I am so grateful, I just want to continue to help others and find resources because we ALL Deserve this. 

My Next blog. Will be Titled “ THE PURPOSE”.
