One thing I try not to laugh at before reading one of these so-called Black entrepreneurs clickbait content writeups in Blavity or Black Enterprise or whatever is how weak and deer in headlights they look. I try not to laugh because I am drinking coffee and don’t want to spit it out through my nose laughing at these weak posers trying to act like they got heart and guts in this global empire game. 

Because the only way you get somewhere is you need heart and guts and balls to handle yours out in this world – the world ain’t playing with your lightweight ass. You got to fight like that sperm in your daddy testicles shooting from your daddy shaft into your momma vaginal cavity where that motivated sperm penetrated your momma egg to create the life you living now.

You going to fight a war and face challenges like you never have before when you decide you going to pursue your calling and purpose and begin the rise to power. You going to have real and perceived adversaries and you going to have real and perceived allies. You going to realize a lot of things you assumed just wasn’t true or were there like those fake friends and jealous family members you thought were going to support your rise to power. You going to realize things you thought were hard were the easy part and the stuff you thought was easy was the hard part. Everything is going to be flipped in all directions like you walking through a mirrored maze.

If you are weak-minded, not only will you be destroyed but your mind will take a damaging hit from the stress, disappointment, and taking things personally and seeing all the disloyalty and betrayal of people you thought had your back and you spent energy having their back. The blowback will be so heavy you may be discouraged from stepping back into the hustle arena and go work at the Amazon warehouse with all the other smucks and chumps, sorting boxes that robots are telling you to pack and label.

There is no hard strategy to prepare yourself for the journey of going big, it’s one of the easy ones that I explained earlier how perceptions are warped. All you have to do is reclaim your peace of mind and prepare your mind for what’s ahead of you.

Don’t Expect Anything. Clear your mind of expecting people to agree with you or support you on your journey. Instead, you are going on your journey alone because this is your life calling. You will meet new and fresh people on your journey aligned with your goals. Don’t expect systems to work for you. What you will do is expect yourself to make things work for you and if something is working for you, you still change it to make sure it works for you.

See Things as They Are. This was my personal mistake – I assumed family would be supportive to see one of their own succeed but found out they were just jealous and judging. I expected Black women to recognize good Black men but she chasing knuckleheads and talking about swirling. I expected Dream and Hustle readers to share my articles on social media but they got excuses. The path is to see things as they are. Accept Silicon Valley and venture capitalists are racists and bigots against Black folks. Accept the Black community chase Black charlatans and shun Black Excellence. You operate in the realm of truth and reality and learn to accept things as you see them and build your strategy around what is real. Honesty and accurate assessments are your biggest weapon to move fast and effectively in this world.

Operate from a Position of Strength. This means you going to do whatever you have to do and handle whatever you have to have to handle to get yours. You let people know you not messing around and make examples out of some to show you not playing. You got Black folks thinking flexing money, cars and social status is strength – homey, the hood can take all of that shit from someone quickly and violently. Your strength is the value you create that is your signature and your ability to deliver. Strength is not how much money you got but how much of a profit margin you bring home as net from tax strategies and lower cost of operations. You can make less money than someone and still be richer than them being debt-free and driving an EV with free charging stations all around you. Strength is always the ability to do more with less, not thinking more is greater than less.

Take Decisive Decisions. All of your decisions are your choice and your freedom. Even if you mess up, it’s still your decision and you take ownership of everything, the good and bad. Remember that this is your life and you are in control of it. However, other people going to make decisions that are not in your best interest – you can respect that but you must respond with a decisive decision to deal with them as a response. Anybody who comes at you should 100% expect a decisive response from you and you send a clear message. Learn to make decisive decisions, go off the beaten path and try to find your way back, and realize throughout the whole episode that you are living your life out through your choices and actions – that is called freedom.

The world is yours but you have to see the world as it is and not as you envision. The only thing you can do is move through this world with a clear vision and peace of mind that you are in control and enjoy every moment of your experiences. We going to be doing some big things and going big places around this world. Those fakers we kept around close to us will expose themselves as we rise to the power and levels we were meant to be at.  

But this is the most important part – when you perform the Great Reset on yourself, see things as they are and your reality you are living, then you can focus on making adjustments and changes and decisions based on what’s ahead of you and where you want to go. Don’t create chaos by assuming or guessing how the world works and how people are going to act. Instead, focus on not expecting anything and handling things as they come – that’s your peace of mind.
