Welcome back to another episode of the Way To Money Podcast. My good people, and it's your host with the most well that's trying to get the. You get the picture, duntice. And today I just wanted to have a little conversation with you guys and just let you know take that next step. Whatever it is that you're doing in your life, just take that next step. Whatever you have planned, whatever that's incoming in your life, that next thing that you need to do in order to progress and grow, just do that. Because I'd rather for you to be able to say I took that chance and it didn't come out how I was supposed to, instead of having the regret that sits with you forever saying I wish I would have took that opportunity to see what would happen. Maybe I'd be in a better predicament or not. Because I feel, like even the people that I talk to around now, like friends and family, a lot of people want to take their lives in different trajectories, but they're scared of failure. They're scared of not being supported quote unquote and what a lot of people mean by supported is not having a lot of people to, I guess, validate them and back them up on their ideas and stuff like that and I'm here to tell you it don't matter.
Speaker 1:Even when I wanted to start this psychology, when I wanted to go to school for psychology and even start this podcast, people had their nicks and picks and stuff like that. And I wasn't always, you know. I always wanted to tell people what I had planned, to just show people my vision and just to put it out there. And, you know, wanted people to try to. I didn't want them to be accepted, but I just wanted to make people see, like this is what I want to do when people will ask me on how to further myself. Like this is what I want to do when people will ask me on how to further myself. And I had complications with it on down the line and it showed me like, even though a thousand people can be like that's a crazy idea, you might not want to do that or whatever the case may be, they don't know your work ethic may be different than theirs, than theirs.
Speaker 1:A lot of people can't even sit somewhere for 45 minutes to even pay attention to something without going to their phone, without trying to interact with people, without trying to do anything other than focus on their Pacific task. Notice how hard it is for a lot of people just to do that one Pacific task. Notice how hard it is for a lot of people just to do that one Pacific thing. And it's crazy because you wouldn't even think about how everybody else is affecting you until you just sit down with yourself and be like, well, they did say I can't do this. They did say that if everybody had that same stigma towards themselves would nobody be accomplishing anything.
Speaker 1:People are going to talk about you whether you're here on earth or dead in the grave. Don't let people swindle you and lower your standards. Because you feel like you have to dumb down yourself, to be around them and to make them feel validated, then both of y'all, it's both of y'all in the same predicament. But guess what? When you leave, all you can be able to say is I kept it with my friends to the point to where I lessened myself to be with these people that probably don't even care about you like this. I never let myself.
Speaker 1:If a true friend would allow me to hinder myself, not grow, would allow me to handle myself, not grow, and pay attention to everything else, that doesn't matter. That's not my friend for real and I feel like a lot of people around here have people that be amen-ing and yes-man-ing to a whole lot of stuff that their friends do because they feel like, well, I've been with my friend 25 years or we've been at my grandma's house. He didn't cook my grandma, my grandma didn't cook tons of food. That don't matter, it doesn't matter. It never mattered how close you are with a person If they hindering you and stopping you from progressing and you feel like you instead of trying to extend an arm, a leg and a toe out to them and they're not taking into account how you feel. It matters not what they feel, it's you, it's your life. They're not living it Because when they go out and do some more stuff guess what?
Speaker 1:You have no identity. A lot of people don't even have their own separate identity from being within a group, say, for instance, a posse in high school. Once the high school posse gets disbanded, everybody move on with their lives. People start to have kids and move and get married and all this type of stuff. You have no identity because you spent your whole life childhood, teenager, pretty much flocking around a bunch of people. You spent your time doing it instead of actually making something of yourself, establishing your own name and growing to where, somewhere, you need to be. That's not smart.
Speaker 1:In time, you're setting yourself up to have a lot of like I said, a lot of things to go wrong, because now you're stuck in a job, somewhere that you don't want to be, trying to find yourself, and now you're trying to see where you went wrong. It's not about Now. You're trying to see what you went wrong. It's not about trying to become more than you, trying to make it seem like you better than somebody. There's cockiness and arrogance is way different from you. Actually just want to live and progress your life and I feel like if we as people stop trying to see everything as somebody is trying to be better than us and everybody needs to better themselves in some way or aspect, stop trying to make that an excuse.
Speaker 1:And if your friends are manipulating you or making you feel bad because of this, like I told you before and I keep reiterating this they are not your friends, period. People, what do they have to do to? What do they have to do, honestly, to get you to see them? They don't care. They want you to stick there with them. As long as, as long as're at the bottom with them. They'll keep on continuing on being friendly and all that Whole time. If they go up, do they care about what you're doing when you're in the back seat? No, they don't. That's just how it is and that's the sad truth. We don't want to say it because we look at these people. We look at people that we're close to. That's my lifeline, that's my best friend for so-and-so, that's my wife, that's my husband or whoever it may be.
Speaker 1:You have to take into account who people show you are People. That's the only way you're going to be financially smart about yourself, even dealing with people, because when you get out here in adulthood and you have to go out here and discover a lot of stuff get into financial ventures such as owning a business, advertisement or I mean franchisement. It can be advertising, franchisement, anything. You have to know that these people are not a lot of people. Don't be here for your benefit. Most of the time, it just be to get something out of you. I ain't seen people, for example, that only stuck around certain people because they had vehicles. They piled up in one car and guess who car it is? It's always the friend car. It's never they car. It's never they, car they don't even have one. You ask them about gas money. Now it's quiet, nobody says anything. But you see what I'm saying People only use you when it's beneficial to them. That's when the true nature of people start to come out and start to show People.
Speaker 1:You have to understand taking that next step. Worry not about your past and what you've been through to get there. Your focus now is your future and your present time. Taking this decision could change your whole life trajectory, and you mean to tell me you're going to stop. You mean to tell me that you're going to let it waste aside just because you don't want to leave your friends behind when they can do the same thing that you're doing, but they choose to involve themselves in bullcrap and you entertaining it because you still want them around. Let's be honest, though we do this every day. We accept a whole lot of mediocrity from our friends that we don't have to, and a lot of times we as people I don't know why we get like this. They be scared to tell them about themselves because they don't want to lose them like this. They be scared to tell them about themselves Because they don't want to lose them as friends.
Speaker 1:If you become that much codependent on a person, one single person, a friend. He's not even family to you. How are you going to function in life? If that person was to get off your life right now, what would you do? Break down, cry Like you gotta understand how mentally draining and like how mentally disturbing that is. Some people have so much codependency on a friend, on a friend, on a friend, that they lose sight of their own goals. They don't chase after anything because they want to follow up behind them all day. They want to still feel like they're included. They want to be a part of the game, the group.
Speaker 1:No, the only thing you are doing is limiting your potential. That's all you are ever doing. You don't want to say that A lot of people. That's the ugly truth. Stop trying to blame everything else on other people. Start moving in life to where, when you get these big opportunities, you don't have to play the guessing game. You don't have to sit up here and politic with yourself when you seem too good enough. If you took this opportunity, will people still be able to relate to you? If you took this opportunity, will people still be able to call, say, will people still be able to say you're from this background, if you took this opportunity, it does not matter. We as people have to stop. We have to stop. We have to stop infatuating ourselves with this nonsense, just to kick it, just to be a part of something that you were never really a part of anyway.
Speaker 1:When all y'all at the bottom it's a lot of conversation happening. People at the top don't even talk to each other like that. They talk through business, they talk through numbers, they talk through statistics, they talk through productivity. They don't do gossip. All that gossiping about nothing. And you are contributing and making no move, no prioritization about yourself. You're just sitting in your own mind. Basically, like I said, you allowing them If your friend people, no matter what age you are, we all have that friend that sits and talks about literally nothing all day About what he's seen on Facebook, about what somebody posted on TikTok trying to go viral and all that. And this is another thing too. I would like to touch on People.
Speaker 1:Even with this Trump elation and stuff like that I know I'm deframing, I know I'm like veering off what I recently said. People stop trying to put out a narrative and control stuff that can't be controlled. You can't control it. This is what I'm saying about people not actually even moving in ways to where they'll even get big opportunities like this, because they're putting themselves on the smallest scale possible and trying to make them look like they're bigger than what they are. You are a small content creator. Don't be trying to go viral for making these weird takes or trying to down a whole. Nother person or community, race or whatever they may be. That's all that's going on now.
Speaker 1:And you thinking when you get a million, you thinking when you get a million dollar deal on your table, you thinking that you thinking thinking when you get a million dollar deal on your table, you thinking that. You thinking RECs I'm stumbling because it's like people do. You think somebody will offer you a million dollars? Acting like that on social media, you have no proper etiquette. You have no proper Nothing about you is big in a million dollars Even if you don't have it. You have to move like that in order to even get these opportunities.
Speaker 1:Take that next step Grow people. You don't always have to be. You don't always have to be at every party. You don't always have to be at every function trying to kick it, trying to do whatever. You don't do that. Focus on time trying to grow yourself and actually help yourself to become a better person. There's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1:I feel like as time passes on, we lose insight on how really we look at everything now. Actually, being on top of your stuff is looked at as lame and boring. When there's people out here that can't even get out of property because they had the same notion, the same type of mindset. It's a mindset thing with these. It's up here trying to be like. When I even started looking at finances and all this other type of stuff, I wanted to put myself ahead of the curve, why I didn't care about who else was looking at this and looking at taxes or anything like that. I took it upon myself to learn about tax deduction, to learn about investment, to learn about credit, to learn about trade lines, to learn about pretty much anything that you can pretty much find about finances.
Speaker 1:I'm learning about now and still is. I'm contributing to my future. That's what you're supposed to do. That's taking the next step. I'm helping myself because ain't nobody else it will be nobody else to be up here to show me, to tutor me every day. I have to do this. It has to be in you. You can't sit up here and try to act like the world is so oblivious right now, because your parents are taking care of everything. That's why you don't care now. It hasn't hit you in the face. A lot of times, life literally has to backhand you in order to get you together and it shouldn't take that.
Speaker 1:I feel like people anybody of all ages, people who can relate to these situations, who has a friend like this please remove them from your life and watch how much better it be. Remove them from your life and watch how much better it be. I know people now who still lingering on to their one friend Because they don't want to make themselves look like the uncool person. They don't want to make themselves look like they're changing, they're switching up, they're being different, they're being weird. I'd rather be weird to somebody that holds no benefit to me. Let me ask you out of the situation entirely, because we are not gaining nothing from each other, having brain rock conversations Talking about nothing and burning time, gas and energy Talking about nothing.
Speaker 1:We are planning nothing. We have nothing to talk about. Honestly, you wasting my battery about nothing. If you're People, people we got to start contributing more we. It's all about what you have around you. If your circle is not product like I said, helping you produce, helping you with being productive, encouraging you to do this, encouraging you to move this way, giving you tips and advice People take those people to heart. These people are not doing this.
Speaker 1:You have actually people that I got, genuine love for their friends and stuff, but you want to know something. Their friends and, like I said, even family members, they be so stuck in their ways. They not listening to them. And then I had, and then they have this stigma wishing like I wish I would have did better with my life. I wish I would have enjoyed or did more of this and more of this. It's too late. You already wasted your opportunity.
Speaker 1:People, we only get one chance at this thing we call life. Let's do it right the first time. You're going to make mistakes, you're going to bump your head. Sometimes you're going to be confused about stuff, and that's more than normal, but don't linger in it and that'll be. That'll be it for this you know episode, and I just wanted to come on here and just let you know that now and I feel like as I grow this, as you know, as I start to shift in a different way on how I do content, I will more likely be, you know, just coming to you all and just having open-ended, like I said, just having discussions with you all based on how I feel other people's experiences and, you know, just feeling them in and just trying to feed y'all different things to where y'all can intake it in and propagating y'all different things to where y'all can intake it in and propagating y'all own life.
