The Double Shift: Building Wealth While Working Full-Time

Let’s keep it real—just because you have a full-time job doesn’t mean you can’t start your own business. In fact, having that steady income might just be the best foundation to start from. But here's the catch: you’ve got to plan accordingly and be willing to hustle. That might mean picking up that night shift a few days out of the week to make it happen. Yes, it’s going to be challenging, but wealth-building never came easy, right?

Mind Your Own Business—Literally

One of the biggest traps you can fall into is comparing your journey to someone else’s. We’ve all been guilty of it, scrolling through social media and wondering why someone else seems to be further ahead. But here’s the truth: their grind is not your grind. You have to mind the business that pays you, while also creating the business that will outlive you. The energy you spend watching others could be the energy you use to build your empire.


Create the Legacy

Starting a business while working full-time is not just about making extra money; it’s about creating something that will stand the test of time—something that can be passed down, something that reflects your passion and purpose. The grind isn’t just about now; it’s about the future. So, while you’re clocking in at your 9-to-5, keep that bigger picture in mind. Your day job is funding your dream, and your dream is laying the groundwork for your legacy.


Final Thoughts: Keep Pushing

So as you head into the weekend, remember this: You’ve got what it takes to do both. You can work that full-time job and still build your own business. Just make sure you’re focusing on what matters, putting in the work, and never losing sight of your ultimate goal. 

We’re all on different journeys, but the destination is the same—success, wealth, and a legacy that outlives us.

Stay Focused—Not Everyone Will Understand Your Journey

Image
In life and in your career, you’re going to run into people—friends, colleagues, onlookers—who are oddly committed to misunderstanding you. And let’s be clear: it’s not always because you don’t make sense. Most of the time, it’s because they lack the capacity to see beyond themselves, their own limitations, or what they’ve been programmed to believe or do... Some people have only ever known one way of thinking, one way of moving, one way of existing. When you come through breaking molds, thinking differently, striving for something bigger than what they’ve ever envisioned for themselves, it shakes them. And instead of opening their minds, they reject what they don’t understand. That’s not your burden to carry. Stay Focused, Stay Vigilant This next level of success you’re stepping into? It’s not like ANYTHING you’ve ever experienced before. It’s going to require a different level of discipline, a new level of self-belief, and an unshakable commitment to your vision. You don’t have time...

The Shift: Mid-Year. My Birth Month. My Power. My Assignment.

Image
I had to shake the olive branch. And not gently either—this shake came with the full force of a woman who finally realized that she’s not just called… she’s chosen . Between the last time I sat here to pour out my truth and now, something shifted in me—no, everything shifted in me. My power has stepped to the front of the stage. My fear? It’s been escorted off the premises, and I’m confident I’ll never see it in that same form again. And for that , I’m proud. For that, I am firmly rooted in my assignment . I am no longer bending to the will of people who didn’t create me. I am no longer subscribing to the projections of what others think I should be doing with my life, my talents, or my time. I’m not here to check off man-made boxes or meet fabricated deadlines of so-called success. I'm here on assignment—from the Most High. And I’m no longer afraid to edify that. I’ll shout it from the rooftops if I have to. This is June 2025 . Half the year is behind us—and for me, the othe...
