My mother, Juanita Smith, was amazing.
She told me every single day that she loved me… even though she was never told that by her own parents.
We were broke, but we were never poor — because she gave me love, dignity, and self-worth.
That difference shaped my life.
...“There’s a difference between being broke and being poor. Being broke is economic, but being poor is a disabling frame of mind and a depressed condition of your spirit, and you must vow to never, ever be poor again.”
So today, I can say with confidence:
It’s OK if you don’t like me — I like me.
Because if I don’t love or respect myself, I can’t love or respect you.
And if I don’t have purpose, I’ll become a problem for others.
My mother was purpose in motion.
She worked an hourly job at McDonnell Douglas Aircraft for 32 years.
At her peak, she made $18/hour.
And when she passed — she died a millionaire.
So don’t tell me what can’t be done.
My mother is the example.
Love & Light. 💚

There are three things that have never gone down long-term in American history:
🏠 Real estate values
📈 Stock market values
🇺🇸 GDP
Yes, we have recessions — but the word recession literally means it recedes.
It pulls back... then climbs higher. Every. ...Single. Time.
Poor folks panic and sell at a loss. Wealthy folks stay calm and wait.
Smart investing is about patience, not panic.
If your investment is solid, hold on.
Corrections are temporary. Growth is permanent.

How Real Estate, Stock Market, And GDP All Go Up In Value
I Doubled My Money In Real Estate
Let me show you the power of real estate.
I bought a beachfront property in another country — not as an investment, just a lifestyle move.
That property doubled in value. 📈
No hype, no gimmicks. Just a secure, legitimate asset doing what real estate does over time: ...appreciate.
It may not double again, but that one decision was a major wealth move.
If you buy real estate near jobs, transit, or opportunity — odds are, it’s going up.
Look, I’m a landlord — but I still want you to go from rent to own.
Because in America, 3 things have never gone down long-term:
🏠 Real estate values
📊 The stock market
📈 GDP
That’s a wealth strategy, not a wish.
Don’t wait. Own something.

My Therapy Is Race Car Driving
My sport is race car driving.
This is more than adrenaline — it’s my therapy. 🏎️
It’s meditation at 150 mph… Calmness on the racetrack.
It’s not about being the fastest.
It’s about being smooth, because smooth is fast.
This track? It’s not just ...curves and concrete — it’s physics, it’s math, it’s financial literacy in motion.
There’s no ego here. The car doesn’t care who you are — only how well you show up.
Do you have real confidence or just noise?
Ego crashes. Calm wins.
The faster I go, the calmer I get.
Not the fastest. But consistent. Grounded. Focused.
That’s my edge.
Just a window into my world — and my peace.
