32
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.479
It will be on point. Got to text some people tonight. Anyway.

counting them down. I'm counting them with her. Halli Loujah.

46
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.479
We're gonna make our grand entrance on the stage and

47
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.159

48
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:47.479
and keep it moving. So we're thankful. We're thankful, We're thankful.

49
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.120
We're going to continue to talk about launching your own businesses,

50
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.479
uh and whether it's a for profit or nonprofit. I'm

51
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.960
going on participating in a couple of workshops online that's

52
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.919
going to talk about AI and funding stuff for nonprofits

53
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.800
and little stuff like that. So I need to catch

54
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.479
up on that and see what's what, who's doing what,

55
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.120
and I definitely will report that back. I need roll

56
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.920
call out there. Where's everybody who's on who's on roll call?

57
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.040
Let's do it, Let's do it, all right, let's see

58
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.160
coming through. Good evening, good evening, all right, VINSTI, hey

59
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.920
even and congratulations. All right, all right, all right, let's

60
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:32.920
let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah, wow, I think

61
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.000
we left off with UH again. You know, you've got

62
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.759
to get your mission statement, your vision and because that

63
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.240
will lead us to knowing or help you to be

64
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.839
directed towards what you want to do. Everybody wants a business,

65
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.000
but not everybody can run a business. If you don't

66
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.879
have the patience, if you don't have the skills to

67
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.800
on how to get along with people, if you're not

68
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.639
an organized person, need to be organized so that you

69
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.560
can help your your You know, the organization itself, the

70
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.759
mission and the goals be carried out, you can have.

71
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.839
You have to convey them. You have to teach them

72
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.839
to some people. Sometimes not everybody know everything. Okay. They

73
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.160
may just have a great personality, but they don't know

74
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.040
how to answer a phone, you know, or they're going

75
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.079
through a lot of emotional stuff and they're just an

76
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.160
emotional roller coaster. That's not somebody you needed the front

77
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.759
door because they don't know how to balance that yet.

78
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:30.959
And that's where you come in and you have workshop

79
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.600
excuse me, guys, you have workshops and things like that

80
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.720
to better teach them. I was always an advocate for teaching.

81
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.759
I think I shared with you all. After I got married,

82
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.759
and then a year after the babies were born, I

83
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.199
went I was invited back to my former organization to

84
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.079
do a workshop and it was called Humor in the Workplace,

85
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.920
and that's where the clown showed up. Yeah, that one, well,

86
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.319
there were three young ladies in there that were mad.

87
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.759
They were mad. And before I left the organization, before

88
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.120
I retired from it, I asked the board and the

89
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.000
council and the executive director to commit to making sure

90
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.480
that any agency that my team, which was the Family

91
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.959
Strengthening Team funded, make sure any and all their staff

92
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.759
get a shot at least eighteen credit hours of continuing education,

93
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.399
even if it's just our workshops. They don't have to

94
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.120
go to college, they don't have to step outside of CSC,

95
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.199
but they need to be able to come and learn.

96
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.040
So we were going around the room and I could smile them.

97
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.519
I knew their agency guy because I heard them talking.

98
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.000
I can't believe we got to come to this now.

99
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.959
We gave them breakfast, you know, it wasn't gonna be

100
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.439
all day. But they were just so adamant about why

101
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.040
do we have to come here? And they were made

102
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.959
to come to this workshop and I don't understand. And

103
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.879
we got that. Yeah, we got to do so many

104
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.079
hours of it whatever they call it, and I'm like,

105
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.240
oh my god, so we got to them, and of

106
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.399
course the question was you know, tell us your name,

107
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.759
what agency, and why are you here, and all three

108
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.199
of them were like, oh, blah blah blah, this is

109
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.560
my agency, and we were told we had to come.

110
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.720
It was mandatory. So when the third person finally spoke,

111
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.560
I said, well, the mandatory came from me over a

112
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.360
year ago when I retired, and they were like, I said, yeah,

113
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.240
So if you're mad at anybody, don't be mad at

114
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.600
your exec your boss, don't be mad even at children's service.

115
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.240
Be mad at me, because you're the last people that

116
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.480
will get any type of education. You're the last person

117
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.519
and people who will get any updated information. You're not

118
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.959
going to go beyond your high school diploma. And guess what,

119
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.920
you're the front line evening evening. You're the front line.

120
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.040
I left my notebook in the ride share. I had

121
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:51.800
to flag the car mickey, stop launch, mincky come back here,

122
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.839
you come back here, Mickey. I can only see it.

123
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.879
I can only I don't even know what you look like,

124
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.000
but I can visualize what that look like that day.

125
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:06.439
Bless your heart and make God bless you that. But

126
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.079
you know, and then here's so there are people who

127
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.319
don't who just don't want education because not everybody's built

128
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.120
for college and and tech school and you know, higher education.

129
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.639
We get that, but I just knew that these frontline

130
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:23.360
people who are dealing with the clients who have no

131
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.920
educational support at all except the high school diploma, could

132
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.920
benefit from some of the workshops and at least eighteen

133
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.279
credit hours in a year. And that was one of

134
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.960
the mandates for you your agency. Hey, Charles, it keeps

135
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.440
the getting the learning going. At times, it's hard to

136
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.039
keep the learning going at tech. Yes it is, Charles,

137
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.799
but you've got well, I guess you don't have to.

138
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.399
Because I'm a social worker. I have a ever learning

139
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:56.399
and yearning for learning just because because my career, just

140
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.919
like I say, a doctor or nurse. Things are changing

141
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.519
over thirty years ago when I did CPR, when I taught,

142
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.279
I was an instructor for the Red Cross, it was

143
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.159
you know, fifteen chess compressions and two breaths. Now it's

144
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.600
not even that. You can just you got you know,

145
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.320
automatic defibrillators. You know, Also the numbers have changed because

146
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.919
if you're cracking chests and stuff like that, and people

147
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.679
because of the good Samaritan law. You can't sue people,

148
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.399
you know, when your your ribs have been broken. We're

149
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.759
trying to remind you. So things have changed, and my career,

150
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.360
you know, my discipline social work is always changing in

151
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.480
the sense as far as laws and legislation, insurance you

152
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.120
know what they're doing, and stuff like that. So I'm

153
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.559
a life learner. That's what That's what I was looking for.

154
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:47.840
That's I'm a life learner. So I'm always going to

155
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.399
be checking in on things. So go ahead, Trey, I

156
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.279
know you want to say something.

157
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.559
I know when I was going to say, just kind

158
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:58.519
of because I know sometimes being in a formal learning

159
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.519
setting can be intimo day and overwhelming. But they have

160
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.120
so many things like on YouTube now that you can

161
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.360
just kind of go and dibble and dabble get.

162
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:09.039
What you need to know.

163
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:10.519
You know, I'm not saying you're going to be an

164
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.039
expertise at it, but at least it'll give you some

165
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.960
knowledge that if you decide to take it further, it

166
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.360
might not seem so overwhelming, you know.

167
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.360
So like one of the things.

168
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.399
I'm trying to learn the American Sign language, and so

169
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.639
I go on YouTube and I've learned like the alphabet.

170
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.799
I'm not you know, I still miss some alphabet, but

171
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.360
that was a start. So now at least I can

172
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.080
spell out some things if I need to. Now it's

173
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:42.120
like gestural, you know, it's more than fingerspelling. Its other

174
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.279
stuff that I'm learning as I go, because the population

175
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.919
that I have now surrounding me is a lot of

176
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.519
deaf and harder hearing and ASL or American Sign Language

177
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.440
P efficient people. So and it's just beautiful to see.

178
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.840
Sometimes we take things for granted. But that's the way.

179
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:01.799
That's all I was going to say, is your film.

180
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.279
It's okay, and yeah, thank you. We know that it's

181
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.799
not for everything. It's not for everybody. Yes, okay, No,

182
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.159
I'm not licensed. I was thank you for joining. No,

183
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.200
I was blessed enough to have enough license spoke around

184
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.240
me that I didn't. I did try for an exam.

185
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.919
I missed it the first time by six points, and

186
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.200
I said, oh, I got to keep working. So I

187
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.039
was just very fortunate that I was able to be

188
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.559
around enough people if I need the license, you know, accreditation,

189
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:37.279
thanks for having us that. You know, if I needed it,

190
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.879
I could, I could be up under someone to do it.

191
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.360
But the lord is blessed. Most of the time, everybody

192
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.919
paid me in cash, so I didn't have to seek

193
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.519
insurance reimbursement. But thank you for that question. But yeah,

194
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.000
I always thought, oh, kind I gotta be. I was like, nah,

195
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.320
I could do what I got to do, So you know,

196
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.440
I was very blessed with that. But thank you so

197
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.200
much for asking that, and thank you Trey for saying that.

198
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:03.000
But yeah, EDGIC is not for everybody, and I get it.

199
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.840
But I just did not want any agency that we

200
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.399
funded to have employees that were in the dark, especially

201
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.600
those who were taking care of the client. They're the

202
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.200
ones running the programs and stuff like that. They're the

203
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.559
ones that was overseeing, not the executive director and not

204
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.480
the program director, but they're the case managers or the

205
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.799
case workers or the team players. That was that was

206
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.440
the heart of the organization, and I didn't want them

207
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.799
being in the dark. So there, so I said, if

208
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.879
you need to be mad at somebody, be mad at me.

209
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.639
I did it. I begged them to make sure that

210
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.960
they kept that in play. But at least the next

211
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.600
three years of funding. We went to a three year

212
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.559
funding cycle. So so yeah, so I'm gonna always look

213
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.600
and see. That's why you know a lot of my

214
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.360
I've been right to lectionships switch from social science to

215
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:57.039
behavioral nice and it's very much needed, definitely, very much needed.

216
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.919
I remember back in the day. You may be not

217
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.039
old enough to know this, but back in the day

218
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.679
here in Florida, there was a very bad case where

219
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.639
a case manager of what HRS which is now DCF

220
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.279
here in Florida, returned a child back to his family

221
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.440
and they, basically, I think I believe they the child died.

222
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.440
And so the news was out, Oh, social worker from

223
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.519
dc HRS. I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

224
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.200
no no. Unless they had a master's degree a social

225
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.039
work or a bachelor's degree, that person was not a

226
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.480
social worker. And that was just ongoing battle with the

227
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.480
lay people in the community. Oh that's a social work.

228
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.320
No no, no, no, no, I appreciate that. I had

229
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.919
a coworker that worked for the health department. She had

230
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.600
a degree in anthropology, and she called herself a social work.

231
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.360
I said, well, I know, you study bone of pretty

232
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.919
much dead people. Social work we deal with the live people,

233
00:13:55.559 --> 00:14:00.159
you know. But yeah, yeah, the want to learn and

234
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.840
is there time is not there? Well that's organic time management.

235
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.240
Thank you George for leading me that way. There's there's

236
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.639
skills that you have to have, you know, stigmentation, Yes,

237
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.960
there's there's there's you've got to have. Organization. Time management

238
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.799
is key because you still got to run the clock

239
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.480
even though you're not clocking in at an agency, but

240
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:25.039
you're running your own business. I'm starting a greeting card

241
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.120
with my god daughter greeting card business because she's already

242
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.360
in it, and I just need to add some scriptorial

243
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.240
type cards because they're not out there. Because people need

244
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.480
scripture and you know, to to help them to get

245
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.399
through the things that are here and the things that

246
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:42.879
are around the corner. So what better to do it

247
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.000
in a greeting card. But you know I had to,

248
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.080
you know, we had to really talk. You know, the

249
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.159
stigma's gone there by now, well not really, not really.

250
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.519
Uh yeah, yeah, because they still think that people that

251
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.799
work for DCF and and and child protective services are

252
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:02.879
all social work and they are not. You know that

253
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.080
they may have changed and made, you know, a priority

254
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:11.320
with the different disciplines, but to my knowledge, I've still

255
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.399
got people who were real estate people and they became

256
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.080
a case manager and I had a coworker that sat

257
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:21.720
in a group meeting with our psychiatrists and the head

258
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.440
of the medical department at the facility, and she said, well,

259
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.440
we social workers, I said, and you're not a social

260
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.919
work you're not a social case manager. She said, well

261
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:30.039
you know what I mean. I said, No, I don't.

262
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.639
You got real estate background. I don't. So listen, well

263
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.799
you know, no, no, no, because when you're going and

264
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.120
other disciplines, you don't. You don't treat them with the disrespect.

265
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.360
A nurse is a nurse. There's an r N, LPN, CNA,

266
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.000
and an HHA, which is a whole health aid. They

267
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:53.360
only required ten hours of any type of educate of certification.

268
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.799
That's all ten hours and you get your certification. You're

269
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.600
an HJA CNA. That's a little bit longer. But LPN

270
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:04.360
and r IN AARN nurse practitioner. You've got to be licensed,

271
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.320
you've got to have enough, you got to take exams.

272
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.279
But you respect that career, that discipline. But you don't

273
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.879
respect social work because everybody licensees om a social worker. No,

274
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.200
you're not appreciate you though you got the mind, you

275
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:25.039
got the mindset for it. But anyway, but organization discipline, discipline,

276
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:31.039
the ability to negotiate, to negotiate, you know, communication, active listening,

277
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.919
things like that. I don't care what business you go into,

278
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.080
you know, you need to have active listening skills because

279
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:40.559
you need to hear what your customer is saying the

280
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.519
consumer is saying, and be able to reinvent and go

281
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.720
back and check your stuff, check your plans, check what

282
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.039
you've put down in your bylaws and your articles and

283
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.480
corporation and all that kind of stuff, and your business

284
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.919
plan and make sure you're lining up with that. It

285
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.320
sounds like a lot. I know, I've just heaped a

286
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.440
whole bunch of stuff on y'all. I just put a

287
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.960
whole bunch of snow on y'all. I'm not doing that.

288
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.839
I just want you to know that. You know, I

289
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:11.200
know that when you see colleagues or friends or neighbors

290
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.519
or family they started their own business and stuff, sit

291
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.640
down with them and ask them, give me start to finish, start,

292
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.960
and you know, tell me about the beginnings. You'd be

293
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.839
surprised because all we're doing is looking at the outside,

294
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.240
and the outside looks golden, but they've been for seven

295
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:31.240
years and so yeah.

296
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.680
Just scripturally, if you look at whether it Rebecca two

297
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:38.079
and two like a vision and make it plain. And

298
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.519
so you know, I've been picking up some tips to

299
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.599
even though I do have a for a profit right now,

300
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:49.200
but picking up tips from other people who are successful.

301
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.400
And so in order to get there, you have to

302
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.519
write stuff down so you can see it. So I'm

303
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:58.440
a visual learner and an audio learner, so I need

304
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.960
to do both. But just start with that or what

305
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.759
you see, and then when you do your vision. When

306
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.119
you do that, like your vision, I mean yeah, like

307
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.160
like your vision to make it plain, then you can

308
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.279
probably start with what your mission statement will be.

309
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.279
That's it. I need to because a lot of people,

310
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.640
you know, when I was teaching on the college level,

311
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:21.279
a lot of students I'd asked, well, why are you

312
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.440
here to take this degree? Why are you pursuing this discipline?

313
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.400
And most of them would say I'm here to help people.

314
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.359
And I'm like, Okay, what people? What's the poppet, what's

315
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:34.160
the age group? What are you helping them with? And

316
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.920
they'd be like, well, I want to work with kids. Okay,

317
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.000
good start What do you want to do with them?

318
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.359
What's their problem? How do we figure what kind of

319
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.759
learning we are well. It's very simple. Can you do

320
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.359
you like to be Do you like to listen and

321
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.559
you're good at listening and understanding and taking notes? Or

322
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.559
do you and that's audible, you know? Or do you

323
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.079
like to do you do things with your hands? You

324
00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:59.839
like puzzles, You like to do things with your hands

325
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.640
to figure things out with your hands and things like that.

326
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.519
So you'll learn, you know right now. No, I love

327
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.200
to listen. I can really I'm a good listener, you know,

328
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:12.319
versus a tactile I think it was called tactile learner.

329
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.599
And that's a hands on person they do they do

330
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.640
better with that. That's your construction people, that's your mechanical

331
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.680
engineering people that do things and they learn better. They

332
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.519
got to have it in their hand and that's how

333
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:25.319
they can figure it out.

334
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.440
Go ahead, Trey, I if I can share too. So

335
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:29.920
one of the things that you can kind of recognize.

336
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.799
So when I read, when I read something, typically I

337
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.119
have to read it more than once to kind of

338
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.519
understand it. And the reason I have to do that

339
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.160
because sometimes thoughts, you know, I get distracted, you know,

340
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.839
trying to read the words and and and just being transparent,

341
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.000
even like with the Bible, trying to stay on task

342
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.599
and focus on just what I'm reading. But sometimes like

343
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.119
in school, I'll read it, but I can also hear it.

344
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:57.799
So what I read and then a teacher's teaching and

345
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.480
I can take notes. That was my learn the style

346
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.160
because I did not know how to study to this day,

347
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:05.240
if you tell me to study, I said, study?

348
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:06.279
What study?

349
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:11.400
How? I never really grasped the technique studying. I did

350
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:17.640
more memory memorization type stuff. But I remember repetitively spoken

351
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:20.200
to me and I've written it down. So that's my

352
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.720
learning style. Read it, hear it, write it. So I

353
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:28.880
learned better that way. So that's moving forward. It's kind

354
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.599
of be more in tune of how you learn and

355
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.680
how you understand and how you better retain something. And

356
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:38.839
I remember remember stuff from years ago someone's told me

357
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:42.599
versus something that I've read. So that's the way it

358
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.240
kind of start and recognize how you what type of

359
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:45.960
learning you are.

360
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:50.640
I was just about this, I'm sorry, I was just

361
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:53.759
about to say that as far as basically to identify

362
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.519
what type of learning you are as how like how

363
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.119
to better like how can you better retain it? Know

364
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.079
whether you're touching it you see somebody else building, you're

365
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.440
able to build it. You listen to somebody, you're able

366
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.880
to buy. Listening to them, you can be able to

367
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.039
recite what they said in your own words and stuff

368
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.759
like that, or whatever case may be. That's how you

369
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:16.200
basically identify Thats basically going back off of the straight set.

370
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:22.599
There are four times learning learners visual, auditory, reading, and writing,

371
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:25.400
and kinesthetic. So go ahead, tray, you're gonna say something.

372
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:26.759
I'm gonna break these down a little bit.

373
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.039
When you were talking about the hands on so a

374
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.440
lot of times if I've ordered something that I need

375
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.559
to put together that requires the directions. Sometimes the directions

376
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:40.880
are very confusing. So typically I might grab a couple

377
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.799
down and say, okay, let me just look at the

378
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.799
picture and I can kind of see this goes there,

379
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.799
that that goes there, and rarely.

380
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.640
Do I use the direction.

381
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:51.880
I'm not telling you not to do that, but I

382
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.079
can kind of look at something, glance at the direction,

383
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.680
make sure I have the tools there, and kind of

384
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:01.000
piece together what goes where. So that's a different I

385
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.039
don't know what that type, but that's that's a different

386
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:05.480
type of learning style too. But you just have to

387
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.119
be more cognizant of how you learn stuff.

388
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:14.240
And how you read more information, how you you're learning now.

389
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:20.559
Visual is a seeing. These learners prefer maps, graphs, starts, diagrams, and,

390
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.119
to a lesser extent, photos or videos. They often use

391
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:29.480
color coding and have strong visual memories. Okay. Auditory is hearing.

392
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:35.400
Auditory learners process information best by hearing, discussing, and listening

393
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:39.759
to lectures. They may benefit from recording lectures, reading notes

394
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.200
out loud, and participating in group discussions. Then there's the

395
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:47.759
tech textual reading and writing. These learners connect best with

396
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:53.440
information through words. They thrive on taking detailed notes, reading textbooks,

397
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:58.519
and writing lists. Okay, and the kinesthetic is doing TecTile.

398
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.559
He's my tactile known as tax child or body smart

399
00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:07.319
learners they learn best through hands on experience, physical activities, simulations,

400
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.039
and role playing. And then up with the main definition

401
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.960
and said now, these styles represent how individuals prefer to take, in, process,

402
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:20.119
and retain information, while most people using a combination of

403
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:24.279
styles to enhance their learning experience. So between college and

404
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:29.079
grad school and and doctorate, I you know, I'm foremost

405
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.279
read write and second visual? There you go? You know,

406
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:38.039
I you know? Thank you tre see got gne you

407
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.279
you could combine them. Okay, you can combine them, and

408
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.880
you usually you're combining them. I am not a hands

409
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.920
I've got right The only right brain activity I can

410
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:51.240
do is martial arts and performing arts. But sitting down

411
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.559
to crochet something or to knit something, I don't have

412
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.160
the I don't have the patience. I just I know.

413
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:01.839
But I know people who could just crochet and go.

414
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.200
I know people who can build things, look at it

415
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:06.079
and say, oh, I know what to do and done.

416
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:09.200
It's you know, I don't have that. I have the

417
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:13.000
and I'm not afraid to or scared to do public speaking.

418
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:15.400
I don't have a fear of that. Like I said,

419
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.480
I've done martial arts. I'm going back into preferently taekwonk

420
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.720
taekwondo and stuff. But so that's that's my jam man.

421
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.559
I love to make things. There you go, Missy. Yes,

422
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:28.720
So we've got people like like our crew here that

423
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.519
that loves to crochet and knit and things and make

424
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:35.519
beautiful things, you know, And and that's that's that's your

425
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:39.000
main gifting. But you also may be an auditory person,

426
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:41.079
maybe like some of you are listening to us on

427
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.839
radio so you made you're able to listen, You're able

428
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:46.720
to retain, and then of course you can go back

429
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.000
and view, you know, the show, you can pick it up,

430
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:53.240
you know, and take a look at it. So learning

431
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.319
your styles, but not only you learning your style, but

432
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.680
the people who are going to work for you and

433
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:04.400
you're volunteers and the clients. You're consumers. I am a

434
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:08.440
consumer that loves loyalty. I find that people with ADHD

435
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:13.200
have different I have often auditory learners. Yes, yes, creative

436
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:16.759
is good, very good, because you can express yourself in

437
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:20.400
so many ways. That's why journal journaling became a big thing,

438
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.279
you know, a big thing over the years. And now

439
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:29.480
we've got the word called mindfulness. That's a whole expressive arts,

440
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.000
that's a whole that's a whole class, that's a whole degree.

441
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:36.559
Now you could get a master's degree in expressive arts,

442
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:41.119
you can. And mindfulness and yoga, all of that goes

443
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:47.880
into that journaling, painting, doodling, all it's a whole thing. Now,

444
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:50.519
it's a whole place, it's a whole discipline, it's a

445
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.720
whole degree you could get now. So we moved on,

446
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.200
you know, we moved through. We just kept you know,

447
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.519
the wheel just kept turning and things just people are like, oh, hey,

448
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.640
that's some like you're being so mindful holding space. No,

449
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.160
just respecting somebody and being quite and let them talk.

450
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:12.039
But now it's called holding space. You know what's another one?

451
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:16.200
My truth? If that's your truth. So they've been a

452
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:20.240
liar before. Thank you. Journaling is fun and it really

453
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:23.480
is because to write it down, write down your thoughts

454
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:31.279
and everything you know is key. And sometimes then you go, oh, okay,

455
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:34.400
I'm sorry, okay, thank you, guys, I just had to

456
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:40.519
text something. But anyway, so you got to learn what

457
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.880
type of manager you are, what type of director you are.

458
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.759
It was hard for me to It wasn't hard, but

459
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.160
I transitioned from a case manager to a team leader.

460
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.440
Over my colleagues and the supervisors who I would work

461
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.279
under was concerned because I've got a great sense of humor.

462
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.680
I'm always laughing. And do you think your coworkers will

463
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.039
take you serious? And I said, well yeah, because all

464
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:09.599
of them are trying for the position and I'm trying

465
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:12.440
for it as well. So whoever's going to get the spot,

466
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:15.400
we're gonna respect the person because we know they've got

467
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.359
the skill. Set. We know that they were the better choice.

468
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.440
And I ended up getting the job, the position, and

469
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:24.599
I still kept my sense of humor. But I was organized,

470
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:28.079
I was I played attention to detail, and I told

471
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:31.000
my colleagues, you're going to have to you know, don't

472
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:33.319
try to move me out the way. You need to

473
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:35.599
be better than me. And I grew up with that,

474
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.799
and I believe the Lord just placed that on me

475
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.119
because I would say that same conversation, have that same

476
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.720
conversation with my younger sister. You know, my job is

477
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:47.759
to make you better than me. I would have that

478
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.720
conversation with my kids. My job is to make you

479
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.480
better than me. Don't meet me where I'm at, past me,

480
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:58.279
past me, you know, so anything else, guys, y'all want

481
00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:58.920
to add here?

482
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.559
I want to say when it comes to starting a business,

483
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:06.720
you want to think about how can you solve a problem.

484
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:12.960
And that's key in like foundation to selling period, like

485
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:16.079
going into like selling field, like the sales field. You

486
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:20.519
want to identify that first and then create your solution

487
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.359
of how you get help these people and stuff like that,

488
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.119
because people are going to want to know, Okay, why

489
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:28.720
are you what makes you different? I mean you also

490
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.400
have to identify what sets you apart as well. So

491
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:35.240
I think that's very important to consider when wanting to

492
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:36.319
start a business.

493
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:42.160
Yeah, yeah, and don't and don't be fearful now because

494
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:44.599
if I'm working with any problem or problem with starting

495
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.279
the company, hang on the end stage. I'm gonna get

496
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:52.200
with that. Uh. I'm going if you if I was

497
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.319
mentoring you and starting your business, right, I'm gonna already

498
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:57.480
told you got to get a notebook, a three to

499
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.720
five subject notebook, and happen that has pockets in it.

500
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:02.960
And I need a mission statement, I need a vision,

501
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:04.559
and I need your goals. How are you gonna do

502
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.079
what you say you want to do? And I'm also

503
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:09.599
going to ask you to do some homework. I want

504
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:11.480
you to take a look at your community and see

505
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.279
how many businesses do the same thing you're proposing. Not

506
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.279
to scare you, because there's plenty of money for everybody,

507
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.240
plenty of customers for everybody. We how look at your competition.

508
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:25.559
I'm a therapist, I was a therapist. I've got I've

509
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:29.720
got not only the National Data Data Bank data base

510
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.119
for social workers for the state of Florida. I got

511
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.599
here in Orlando where I'm at you know, I got

512
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.880
a county where I came from, So you know, if

513
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:41.680
I was gonna be scared of timid, oh my god,

514
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:43.480
there's so many of us out there doing that. There's

515
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:45.440
so many therapists out there. And then they're not only

516
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.119
social workers are are therapist. There there are people who

517
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:53.160
have a master's in mental health, uh and psychotherapy.

518
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:52.799
And all like that.

519
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:54.960
And then you got the psychiatrist that's a whole different thing.

520
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:56.759
And then we got the psychologists. You know, we all

521
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:59.440
do the same thing. So I'm gonna ask you take

522
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:01.759
a look at who what you said you want to do.

523
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:06.839
That's really gonna be beneficial because as somebody who I

524
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.079
sell soul food, you know what I'm saying. So it's

525
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:12.079
you know, anybody can necessarily do that, you know what

526
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.920
I'm saying. But I've looked at my competition to see,

527
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:17.960
you know what I'm saying, like, okay, what are they doing?

528
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:20.759
And you know you need to identify what you could

529
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:24.680
do better than that, because everybody has their faults and

530
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:28.599
their red flags and their businesses. Right, sometimes people aren't

531
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:32.279
consistent with their food. Me personally, I don't play so

532
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:34.279
like my food has to be hot and ready like

533
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:38.680
little Caesars. A lot of people that's cold. I'm not

534
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.079
delivering no food that's cold. If I'm frying fish or

535
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:43.839
frying chicken, you coming to my house or you better

536
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:45.960
make sure you close enough for me to get to you.

537
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:48.279
Because I wanted to be hot. I wanted to be

538
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.400
fresh out. Like I tell my customers all the time,

539
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:51.920
let me know when you ten minutes away, I'm gonna

540
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.039
drop your fish. I'm gonna drop your chicken. That's what

541
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:57.519
sets me apart. And even when I go to events

542
00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.759
to sell and stuff like that, mainly my deserts. I

543
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:03.160
don't cook my food food there because again that's just

544
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:04.119
a lot of work.

545
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:08.160
But just seeing other people's tables and stuff like that.

546
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.279
Being in that you know room where it's just like, okay,

547
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.519
there's a lot of people selling desserts in here, right.

548
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:14.880
I'm also with them.

549
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:17.200
You know, I've thought about it before, like dang, like

550
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:19.480
you know, everybody's selling desserts, Like, ain't nobody different.

551
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:21.400
They probably gonna go to them whatever the case may be.

552
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:24.920
But nah, I'm usually always sold out, you know, due

553
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:27.200
to my support system and everything like that, and people

554
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:31.279
that just know meat period but it's just also I

555
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:33.599
feel like it's important to know if it's for you

556
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:35.319
or not. So that's why you want to start something

557
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.119
small before you go into you know, getting the LLC

558
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.200
dot da boom. Go to events. There's events in every state.

559
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:43.319
I feel like pop up shops and stuff like that

560
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:45.599
where people go to the flea markets and sell yourself.

561
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.039
Everybody got flea market. Go go there.

562
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:50.720
And see how it works for you. Because you're gonna

563
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.119
deal with a lot. And if you can't deal with

564
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.240
people maybe even trying to tarnish your business whatever it

565
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:59.759
cas for whatever reason, for whatever reason, if you cannot

566
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:03.400
do with that, again, negotiate and be able to negotiate

567
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:07.200
with people, being able to communicate. You know what I'm saying,

568
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.920
you know, not reacting negatively, negatively when somebody comes at

569
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:11.680
you negatively.

570
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:14.400
You know, like you saw a lot that place, I

571
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:15.119
look at you.

572
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.960
But they need to be filled every year, is that correct?

573
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:21.079
I looked into articles that articles of corporation. Yeah no,

574
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.200
well no you don't have to do you don't have

575
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:27.079
to want that articles of incorp are developed in your

576
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.079
by laws that I think that's what you're talking about. No,

577
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:33.720
that's that's that's foundational. Unless you change things. You have

578
00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:37.880
to change them something in your your bylaws. Then you

579
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:41.240
have to filed. Oh, annually, Yeah, you have to do

580
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:44.359
an annual report, yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am. I didn't know.

581
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.559
And my daughter, she was like, she's you know, she

582
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.160
we turned her, you know, into an LLC, and she's like, man,

583
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:52.920
this came, this is coming through. But it was a

584
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.480
miscellaneous advertisement, so we had to block those people.

585
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:56.400
I had no choice in that.

586
00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:57.119
Uh.

587
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.599
Well, I had no choice but to go LLC, right.

588
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.680
Right, that's true. But uh and then I was able

589
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:06.640
to teach her. I said, yeah, every year you have

590
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.400
to report, you know, for us, it's some biz down

591
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.799
here in Florida to the to them, and you don't.

592
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:14.920
She's like, well, do I have to write something or that. No,

593
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:16.880
you just have to pay your fee, you know. And

594
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:18.039
that is an LLC.

595
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:20.839
So see, that's a lot to work. So you want

596
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.400
to test it out to see if it's for you. First,

597
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:25.160
you have to see if it's for you.

598
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.759
I'm telling you right now, I didn't have any I

599
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:31.960
don't believe negative, thank god, too many of a negative.

600
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.319
Like I probably only had like one and that was just.

601
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:37.000
Because you know, people get money hungry and they'd be

602
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:38.960
wanting their money back for no reason. Fool be good,

603
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.359
they demolish it. Oh, I just want my money back.

604
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:43.720
You know, people would do that because people are not

605
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.960
okay here, you know sometimes so they just do stuff.

606
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:50.119
So that's the power of prayer too, because we know

607
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:52.720
who these why no choice could you do it?

608
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:54.839
So basically the.

609
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.279
Being a licensed barber and a natural hair specialist. The

610
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.039
building I'm in, we I have to have an LLC

611
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:05.960
like put my hair business under that to be in there, basically.

612
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:08.440
So yeah, and I didn't want to go space with

613
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:10.880
the other sweet people because that's too many people back

614
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:12.000
to back, Like I'm my own space.

615
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:13.679
I don't got to deal with nobody but the elderly.

616
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:18.920
But her customers don't want but they do allow her

617
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:20.239
customers to come in as well.

618
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:22.280
Yeah yeah, yeah, which is cool.

619
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:27.400
But yeah, so just knowing, just test it out first

620
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.199
if you are thinking about starting a business, because it's

621
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:34.039
a lot, Like it's a lot, and it may not

622
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:36.480
be for you because if things get overwhelming really quick

623
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:37.320
for you, it's.

624
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:37.800
Not going to be.

625
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:40.760
Yeah, if you if you're not able to do your

626
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:44.840
breathing exercises and and calm down. And also now you've

627
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.519
got us, you can you've got resources here that you know,

628
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:48.920
you can pick up the phone and say, hey, I'm

629
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:50.960
thinking about this. What do you think or what do

630
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.719
I have to do? And we can give you that

631
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.079
does that and your report need articles or just the

632
00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:58.800
first filing, just the filing every every every year, just

633
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:01.519
the filing. And you usually you're paying a fee. You

634
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:03.360
don't have to write anything or anything. You just go

635
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:06.639
on electronic clean and fill it out and pay your fee.

636
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.039
That's all you have to fill anything out. Yeah, and

637
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:10.920
a great question.

638
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:11.480
Boom.

639
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.039
And again, when you do start a business, you're not

640
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.239
gonna be making money for real until your second or

641
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:19.039
third year, so be mindful of that.

642
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:20.400
You're gonna be doing.

643
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:23.559
Nothing but investing, investing, investing, like putting back into your business.

644
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:24.000
Put it back.

645
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:26.320
All that money you made here, put it right back

646
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:28.440
into it to get more materials and stuff that you need.

647
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.400
Like you could start off with basics. By all means,

648
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.400
you could start off a basis.

649
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:34.920
I started off with like Mason Jar cheesecakes and stuff.

650
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:35.679
Like that, very good.

651
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:40.480
I upgraded to upgraded to starting cupcakes. You know, when

652
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:44.239
I was able to afford that, and then I upgraded

653
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.760
that to cookies and then started doing cakes and stuff

654
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:49.599
like that. So therefore, like take it little by little.

655
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:51.800
You don't have to have everything when you first start,

656
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:54.920
you know what I'm saying. Just ensure that you're continuing

657
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:57.039
to invest it to It's like, okay, shoot, I'm making

658
00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:59.960
enough to where I could pay myself, et cetera, et cetera.

659
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:03.679
You know, and I'm an author of four books. Now

660
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:06.639
I've not made it to the New York best selling list.

661
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:14.559
My baby brother just came into town last week. Thank you, Yes,

662
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:17.840
come to Orlando. Let me know you're coming. When does

663
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.960
the bylaws come into being needed. Well, when you're starting

664
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.559
a business, you need to that's just that's just a

665
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:26.400
piece of it. And if you're going to do a nonprofit,

666
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:29.679
definitely that you've got to have bylaws in place. If

667
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:32.199
you're going to go to a bank to ask for funds,

668
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:35.159
to ask for a loan, they ask for your bylaws.

669
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:37.039
They want to see your mission statement, they want to

670
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:39.920
see your business plan. Sometimes. Now I haven't done that.

671
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:41.960
I've never had to do that, so I don't know

672
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.239
what's what they're asking for. Now because things that so

673
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:48.000
many things have changed. So that's another thing you need to,

674
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:50.440
you know, kind of learn the rules of your state.

675
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:52.800
So you need to see who's doing what. Who are

676
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.760
the business entrepreneurs and state that are posting or whatever,

677
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.639
and seeing what they're saying. You know, just a couple

678
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:02.079
of them. You don't have to do a whole lot.

679
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:04.639
I don't want you to get swamped under this. But

680
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:07.480
I was saying that, you know, when my baby brother came,

681
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:10.280
the Lord told me to make gift bags because he's

682
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.119
got some friend girls. I don't know why my phone

683
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:17.280
put the gs okay INNA station, but the Lord told

684
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:19.000
me to make little gift bags for them, even though

685
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.760
they've been to Orlando forever. But and two of them

686
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:24.280
are from well three of them are from Florida, but

687
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:27.679
one lives in Atlanta. So she flew flew down and

688
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.079
the other two came up from Palm Beach County. And

689
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.519
so I made little gift bags. And instead of putting

690
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:34.480
my books in it, I put the bookmarks in it.

691
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:36.920
And I pay per clip. I have this long paper clip.

692
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:41.119
It's so cool, but they're very long. And I used

693
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:45.920
that and so and so, I said, you can't. Y'all

694
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:48.559
can't look in until everybody gets here, and then y'all

695
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:51.519
look in the bag. And so he calls me from

696
00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:53.920
his hotel. He said, least listen to this. And they're like, oh,

697
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:55.800
thank you, thank you, thank you. No one's ever done

698
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:58.639
this before. I've never gotten a gift. I said, well,

699
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:01.599
I'm just appreciating you. A friend of my brothers forever,

700
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:04.800
and you're loyal. Whenever he's in town, You're coming no

701
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.400
matter what. And even though this is a shorter time

702
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.239
he's gonna be in town, y'all made away here and

703
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:12.440
you're making a sacrifice. So the Lord wants me to

704
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.280
just say thank you, and they're like, okay, so now

705
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:18.920
I want We've been worried one and two. No, I

706
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:22.199
won't weep and worried one and two. And I'm like, oh, okay,

707
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:26.000
I'll come by tomorrow. Okay, no problem. And then I

708
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.920
get here. Before I was leaving on Saturday to go

709
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:32.360
to his hotel, the Lord said, go pack pack the

710
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.239
other book, The Weeping Warrior, number two. And because I've

711
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.039
got a grip in my car, I believe in leaving

712
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:42.599
out the middle man, because I don't I don't get Kinneys.

713
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:46.079
If my publisher sells the book or any other book

714
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:50.239
you know, printing company, bookstore sells the book, I'm only

715
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.760
getting a couple of dollars. But if I'm selling the book,

716
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:56.639
I'm getting the full monty so and so I ran

717
00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:58.000
back in the house and I put some in the

718
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.280
book in the bag and stuff. So when I get there,

719
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:03.320
the third person who did not order a book that's

720
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:06.199
from Atlanta, she said, I want the prophets one. I say,

721
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:11.400
oh God, look, and they just had nobody else. So

722
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:16.360
I made seventy some dollars that just you know, being obedient,

723
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.320
being obedient to the Lord. And that's what I want

724
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.320
to talk about these last next few minutes. I really

725
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.159
need you all. I really need it's it's the sky

726
00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:30.320
is falling. The sky has fallen its and it's on everything,

727
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:34.840
It's on every foundation. I need you, really please to

728
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:38.239
consider your relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ and the

729
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:43.159
Holy Spirit, because that's the if we go dark and

730
00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:46.920
we cannot electronically get in touch with anybody. I need

731
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.800
to know that you know how to pray. I need

732
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:51.840
to know that you know that you won't give up

733
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:54.719
on God and you will still listen for him to

734
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:57.280
give you direction on what you need to do. I

735
00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:59.960
need you to do that because I'm here, I'm you know,

736
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.960
all the prophets, we're all saying the same thing, and

737
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:07.199
we're using the same words. And now the chaos is

738
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.360
here and we don't and it's on every side, whether

739
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:14.159
it's students protesting at the college, or we've got now

740
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.400
cartel people, you know, taking out it on people. Now,

741
00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:19.280
you can't go to this country, now, you can't go

742
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:24.159
to this almost this state. You know, it's everywhere, it's everywhere.

743
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:26.800
Then we got people just not feeling good. They get

744
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:28.719
fired or get laid off and then go back and

745
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:33.559
then want to shoot up the place. I mean, just please, please, please,

746
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:39.320
please work on your relationship with God unlike ever before,

747
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.320
because he'll give you a peace that passes all understanding.

748
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.719
He will give you a peace you can look at

749
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:49.199
and see what's happening, and you can see God. Really

750
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.199
it's really getting It's really right outside my door, but

751
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.599
it won't come through the door. You need to know

752
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:56.599
that you all are working on this. And I thank

753
00:40:56.639 --> 00:40:59.000
god somebody was. I heard on the news today and

754
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.039
one of my talks your favorite talk shows they were

755
00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:07.840
talking about is a farm farm farm is a farm thing. Basically,

756
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:14.559
people are renting houses and using it and putting technology

757
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:18.159
in there so that they can and thank your other, Kay,

758
00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:22.480
they can. You could purchase, you can make a purchase

759
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.039
like ten thousand dollars for them to get influencers, to

760
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:28.360
increase your shares, to increase your viewers. And it's all

761
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:32.320
fake things, it's all AI. But they're setting up computers,

762
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:37.719
iPads and phones in these houses and your farm views,

763
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.000
farming farming viewers, there's something like farming viewers is something

764
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:44.159
like that, and it's somewhere in Google. I mean, we

765
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:46.960
got we could google it. And that's how some people

766
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:49.519
I'm not saying everybody, and I don't even know who

767
00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:52.679
the people are, but if they you've got five thousand dollars,

768
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:56.599
ten thousand dollars, you could farming views. Contact these people

769
00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:58.639
and say I get what can you get me? And

770
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:00.239
they can tell you, oh, I could get you ten

771
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:03.559
thousand viewers and it's ten thousand dollars. And and you know,

772
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:06.840
so people, you know I've got a million dollar million followers,

773
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:08.519
I got one hundred thousand. You know, you don't know

774
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:10.679
what I mean. I would hope that that was all

775
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:14.000
honest and everything. But right now, you know, this is

776
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:17.800
just getting crazier and crazier because people were rather lie.

777
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:20.639
So I was listening. I was thinking about our faithful

778
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:25.719
viewers who have come through who but more importantly, they're faithful,

779
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:30.519
and more important than that, they're praying, they're listening, they're

780
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:33.639
taking back the information, and they're reflecting on it, and

781
00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:36.960
their lives are changing. So I'll take you twelve who've

782
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:39.440
been loyal this is our fourth year. I'll take you

783
00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:42.360
twelve and the new ones too, the newbies too, and

784
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:45.880
we will conquer this world. We will conquer this world.

785
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:48.719
I don't need no more shape. I mean, please be

786
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:52.000
doing good with shares. I did finally get a little number,

787
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:55.480
and we've had five thousand, over five thousand shares in

788
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:59.119
the month of February. Only y'all did that. Only y'all

789
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:02.159

790
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:04.000
then I'm gonna let everybody else talk before we end

791
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:07.400
up tonight. I just need to know that y'all doing

792
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:10.079
your best to work on your relationship with God. You'll

793
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:14.079
have your own testimonies, you're doing your own reflection, You're

794
00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.800
doing your own. You're taking your critiquing things, you're you're

795
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:20.960
taking it in, you're bouncing back, you're pivoting like, Okay,

796
00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:23.880
that doesn't work. I gotta go over here. Anything you

797
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:28.840
guys want to add I think she was gonna say something.

798
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:31.760
Learning from listening, and we're telling more and more people

799
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:34.440
to listen to the to the show. Thank you, Charles,

800
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:37.599
thank you, anybody.

801
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:46.239
I guess minutes, please talk, you know, I think you know,

802
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:50.320
trusting learn God really, you know, just just getting closer

803
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:53.280
to him. Just start where you are. You know, it's

804
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:56.559
no particular you don't have to measure where you are.

805
00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:59.800
I guess where someone else is. Just make us start

806
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:05.639
and just listening to you know, things that are motivational

807
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:08.480
if you follow. I follow a few people that are

808
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:14.119
really motivational for me and encouraging and so just trusting God. Really,

809
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:17.840
that's the motive I'm in. I'm stepping out of the

810
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:20.920
way because before I could just try to do it

811
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:25.199
without consulting God first. But you know, put him first,
