Every teacher I had in school said I would be a loser.
I’m not mad at them for thinking that … it was just the time I grew up in. If you didn’t have good grades, you weren’t going to make it in life.
But I knew who I was. I knew that I was a businessman, so I decided to “punt” school and focus on doing what I loved.
In this video, I talk more about the advice I have for kids and teenagers going through the school environment today … check it out and let me know your thoughts below!

    Though this was motivating, I'm shocked to see that you didn't place God first. Your effort is useless if you don't remember God and give time to worship. Remember God, pray and work hard, God will help you through out.

    When i was like 8 9 10 years old I wasn't this perfect child. no good grades , no friends , always felt like I was useless and wanted to die , who thinks that at that age .my younger brother was this great kid , good grades and etc . I always got criticized by my mother and her sisters . But when I grew older I became thr opposite I infact became the best I could ever be.
