I want to talk about the energy of money, and I grew up in a different world, one that probably

half of you grew up in.

Anybody here grew up with nothing, poor?

I grew up with a single mom who raised six kids, packed my dinner in a paper bag, was a second

grade teacher, and then filled up turnstiles at convenience stores just so we could eat.

And I saw money differently, not as an energy that transforms itself into good deeds,

aligned with my mission.

I was more concerned about commissions when it came to money.

I grew up in a world of not enough money, so the only time I wasn't happy was simply when there wasn't enough money, which was all the time because I'd catch my mom crying when anything broke, anything broke, because we were broke.

My mom was so generous. I remember we were on food stamps in Akron, Ohio, and we barely had enough for food, and she

still grabbed some pencils for her second grade class because they didn't have enough money

to teach those kids.

And in that world of not enough, the energy of not enough, I simply wanted to make money.

I thought money would buy me love and happiness,

and I thought for sure, if I focused in on making money, I certainly would be happy.

And so I worked really hard and learned to enjoy what I didn't like or didn't love. I learned to

enjoy what other people didn't like or love, which I think are key aspects of how we make money

because 98% of the people won't learn to love what they don't like or love or other people

don't like or love, and they wonder why they're not where they want to be or better.

I learned to do that and all for one purpose to buy my mama house.

I wanted to take away all financial insecurity from my family.

I wanted to be rich so I could take care of my mother.
