How did I get here, Laying my head to rest, It’s a sunday after the day past, I am here with my pillow making a mess, Curling and grabbing the sheets, I got the feels, I want to be rested, I am gone see you next week.
“But be late getting out the gate, don’t procrastinate”
In the era of hyper distractions, cell phones, will computer phones has caused the expansion we find ourselves lingering through the days, while things passes our way. We need to combat that.
We need to be focus and action based. I am not saying, shove a todo list up in my face, get the stuff out of here. I am talking about an action log, call your friend, tell them to hold you accountable. You got goals baby, you got goals.
So stop the waiting, hating and debating, and light a match under your behind, make some important moves, before you will have back that time.
I never dare to be such a rule breaker and disruptor. I was always fearful of how I would seem to others. If it was pleasing the words and ideas I used and believed it. I was shy, I was to myself, I was almost waiting for approval to make an action. Until the day I broke the system. I can’t recall what day or time it was. I can’t pinpoint the year, but I feel it was the age 13. I made it my mission to break all norms. I wanted to be fearless, I wanted to be original and push the cards every bit I can.
What the world told you to do, “society” I wanted the opposite. All the boxes they told you must fill, I didn’t care for the boxes at all, I colored outside the box. I conquered the fear of being me. The person I was meant to be. The rebel, the nemesis to normal, but the front runner for personality and natural occurrences.
I felt I have done this in a way, people appreciated me for being that person. I became the beacon of what is possible when you stop listening to others and start listening to yourself. That is me today.
Money money money!!!! Oh lord my gosh 1 billion dollars. Okay let’s call it a billie, not billy like the goat, for in my area and town I would be the goat if I had a billion dollars.
Okay my answer is so relatively simple. How can I spend a bill in 10 steps or less.
Buy a few houses and properties. – ehhhh 30 million.
Hire all the right professionals to help keep the money I plan to keep and tax write off the ones I am fitting to give away. – ehhhh 3 million.

Same thing goes for 15 chosen family members, so family tends to be big. ehhh 30 million.
Invest tons of money…ehhh 500 million. (the interest on the money funds, the expenses of everything that can go wrong.

Travel and do a bunch of stuff, and investing in people, laugh lot, create a foundation, whatever foolishness left. ehhhh with the leftover of the millions I didn’t count.
I can say I enjoy chores. Call me chore man Jixi. 🙂
I love to clean. I love organizing and improving. I mean say chores are annoying. Yea, adulting sucks. Yea, the kids and family members make a mess. The most challenging chore of all is getting everyone to do their part. Now that just sucks. You have to chase people down, pick that up, why you aint wash all the dishes, it was your turn. The list goes on and on. I like a well kept household. It don’t have to be perfect. But it has to be divided as a team so we can all win 🙂
Success is mine to define. I am fine as long as I do lose my mind. I be trying, I fail sometimes. I would lying if I say I am not okay sometimes. I am define the moves I make. I could make change. But I really don’t want to live a life in denial, for that a crime. So I am do want I can to get what’s mine, making every moment count as I figure out how to me one of a kind.
Success for me happens in the macro and micro. I love the small dreams and big dreams. I enjoy the small wins and the big wins. For me right now as it has been for many years now, happiness is the key. No matter the money if I am truly happy, that is the winner for me. I can stay success is the car, the house, the yard, and more, and of course I want all of that, but the state of happiness and freedom is not a luxury you get with having that. Mo money, Mo problems has always been around. But to really be happy with anything or nothing, wow, who has that.
So ha ha, the real answer. lol.
Of course that was the real answer, come on.
Successful looks like this for me.
Good career, making okay money.
Meeting the love of my life.
Investing and spending while living life.
Travels and food.
Enjoy all the amazing tv shows of now and tomorrow.
Having a successful business with the decent money help others live their best lives.
Releasing a music and book project every single year for the rest of my life. (Love it or hate it).
I can say simply those are the success if you want to put a name on things. And with those come other benefits. Head back my vision board to get my life in line for more and more happiness.
In my management career, The One Minute Manager was a game changer. Talking, setting expectations, following up and execution in the most simplest processes, this book was the best I have ever read. I still to the day recommend to everyone trying to take control of their careers.
I Will Teach You To Be Rich, taught me about my rich life and how to treat and enjoy money. Before I use to save and listen to these ancient talks on money. This book changed my life in the highest degree and financial literacy.
The most memorable thing I was given was life. The opportunity of life is a gift. I know it sounds so cheesy, its the easy win. But it is all true. GOD has blessed me with such a gift. This prompt is beautiful.
