Speaker 1: 0:00

Focusing on the goals that you have set, focusing on the things that you do best, focusing on your clientele. If you mind your business, your business will mind you. Hey, what's good, y'all? So, leading up to next Monday, the 9th, for my challenge, I plan on going live once a day, at least. Chances are, you know, just with whatever, or live or live-ish, you know there ways around going live and all that type of stuff. But today I wanted to talk about minding your business right and not in the way people think. You know what I'm saying. Some people are like, oh car, you're trying to talk about it all. No, so first of all I'm going to give y'all the whole, especially in business. Let me give y'all the whole rundown, just kind of how I live my life right.

Speaker 1: 0:55

So most people know and they think it's real odd about me that I don't really be knowing stuff like this is going on in the world. You know I used to pay heavy attention to politics because, duh, I was in politics and all that stuff. But you know, so I'll pay heavy attention to that and it would kind of, you know, I would get involved in all these debates and, you know, back and forth polemical and people getting all mad and upset and all that, and I'd look and be like, why am I doing this, why am I worried about it? And then you know like I was thinking about you know how, when it. You know like now there's a huge and it's been like about a decade or whatever a huge like desire or just the trend of being involved in, like celebrity socialize. And I don't even know about that Like. For instance, I don't know if y'all saw what's that joint call? What's the matter with that? I mean, I was in the stallion and Tory Lane so I heard about it one time on the podcast. I was asked a question about it and my response was a I don't believe nobody. Until I see all the facts, I say I'll let it play out in court because I don't need one of them. And so you know it came back. The verdict was guilty. That's what man guilty. He go to jail, he get a pill. All of this stuff. I really wasn't about to pay enough attention to the case To for it to really affect me or for me to have a huge opinion about it. Even like with people that I know, when stuff go down, gossip and all that I don't really get involved in it because I be focused on what I'm focused on, and so you know that's kind of how I, how I live my life from a personal level.

Speaker 1: 2:38

Now I'm gonna talk about business, and when I say you know the benefits of minding your business, I'm not saying the benefits of you know, you know avoiding gossip we all know that there's a bit, there's a benefit to that or the benefits of you know Not being snoopy or nosy, your back bite and all that kind of stuff. We know the benefits of those things. That goes beyond that, but I'm gonna talk about, like, minding your business. Business right, meaning that don't let what others are doing in business Drive what you do. It's good to know what's going on in the industry, but you know, don't be jealous of like. You know I could easily be jealous of my like Jeff Bezos. Or you know even people who are in my, in my realm, like you know, the the mark humans in the world. You know my goal is to be dark Cuban, right, but I'm okay whatever. But you know like I want to be like. You know you know one of the one of the sharks. You know, like Marcus Lamonis, you know who goes around and helps build businesses, but I can't even focus on what they do all the time Because for my business, you know, I have to focus on my clientele. We have a whole different clientele, whole different presentation. Those are all the white guys. I'm a halfway old black dude with locks. So I have to mind my business and you know, of course, there's a shameless plug involved in this.

Speaker 1: 3:57

One of the ways to mind your business is to plan for it right. And thank you to everybody who purchased my book, this seven day business plan bestseller on Amazon, available on Amazoncom. Go to seven day business plancom, pick up your old copy. But thank you to everybody who got it. But all that being said, shameless plug. But all that being said, when you have a plan for your own business, it's a lot easier to mind it right.

Speaker 1: 4:22

Otherwise, we become reactive or, you know, we can get discouraged when things don't work. We discourage when things don't go our way and all that type of stuff. Um so, and that's why I say you know, mind your business not in a negative way, not in a judgmental way, not in a, you know, saying you don't need to be all up in a few stuff like that's neither here nor there. There, the primary focus of me saying mind your business is really pay attention to your business and what's going on around it, what's going on in your industry, what's going on in what you do and I see my the internet, so I can a little wonky, so I'm gonna say that again. When I say mind your business, I'm primarily speaking about focusing on the goals that you have set, focusing on the things that you do best, focusing on your clientele. Mind your business.

Speaker 1: 5:12

I was on a podcast yesterday with my man, rod Rodney Hughes you know, thanks for having me on and one of he did a wonderful analogy, you know, so if I'm using it, I got to give him the credit. He said you walk down the bread aisle and you see 20 different you know loads of bread, at least 20 different loads of bread that you get to choose from. Do you think any one of them said that because these other brands are in business, that I can't be in business? No, they minded their own business. They set their own goals, they got their own marketing. You know, their own pricing, their own sources, all of those things.

Speaker 1: 5:49

And so when I say mind your business is, keep your mind on your business and how you can be successful in it, because otherwise we can easily get discouraged. You know, I mean, I remember there was a time when I was doing this and I was going through and you know, all of a sudden the people popping up all the time doing what I like, dang man. You know like, ah, do I need to do it like this, do I need to do like that? Do I need to switch it up? No, do what works for you, do what works for your clientele, because that's who really matters. You know, I'm not doing what I do to impress other people who are in my field. I'm doing it in order to impress my clients so that they'll be happy with the results that they get. I'm doing it to impress you. Who's watching me? Who may want to start their business, who may want to be a part of my free New Year Challenge? That's what I mean by.

Speaker 1: 6:39

I mind my business and I would encourage everybody. Do yourself a favor, especially those of you who are entrepreneurs, and don't let what other people do or how their businesses are going affect your business. You know you can look at it like they're your competition. You do want to know your competition, don't get me wrong, but don't let what other people do drive you. The great John Wooten, you know and everybody knows he was a coach at UCLA. He told his team and not every coach does this but his team went undefeated. They never prepared for the other team, they just played their game. And that's what you have to do Just play your game, do your thing. Of course, you always want to be improving. You want to be aware of different things, like you know, do a SWAT analysis, all that, but most of it is about you and your business. So I just encourage everybody mind your business, mind the business that Some people I just wanted to come out Mind the business that pays you. That's especially true for us entrepreneurs. Mind the business that pays us.
