Oftentimes we fool ourselves into thinking there’s a prerequisite to obtaining what we need. We’re always in this constant pursuit of more information, experience, and connections with the hope of making more money.
What I’ve learned in my years of experience is that this model of thinking can cost a lot of time and money, and is evident in the number of people with high degrees, heavy debt, and limited success.
Typically people pursue information, to make more money, in hopes of translating that into better connections. This aligns with traditional schooling models but what if I told you there’s a more efficient way to hit your goals?
I believe that you don’t make connections based on the money you make, you make money based on your connections.
Much of my success in Cannabis and Commercial Real Estate has been based on my keen ability to build relationships so I’ve also made it my job to help other men do the same. So how do we leverage the quality of our relationships to improve our quality of life?
Well the quality of our relationship is directly related to (3) qualities:
✅Establishing Core Values
✅Effective Communication
✅Genuine Connection
Whether it’s personal, professional, or romantic relationships, we as black men must embrace these qualities to improve our lives. I’ve come to realize many of us have been learning how to be better fathers, husbands, and professionals without always having the proper guidance.
I created the Kings Amongst Kings network to allow black men to have an outlet to learn and connect with others seeking to elevate. It’s an open forum to allow us to socialize and share our experiences for collective growth.
As I like to say to my colleagues: Just remember that you’re only ONE CONNECTION AWAY.
Let’s connect! I’m open to building with real estate and cannabis professionals as well as business owners, investors, and aspiring entrepreneurs. Yes, I’m also open to speaking engagements so feel free to reach out. I’m happy to be that one connection you needed to transform your life.
