Wealth Is a Team Sport — Stop Building Alone

 



Let me say this loud for the folks in the back: wealth is a team sport.

A lot of us were trained to be “strong,” “independent,” and “self-made.” And while I respect resilience, I also know this: trying to build everything alone is one of the fastest ways to burn out, stay stuck, or keep repeating cycles you’re praying to break.

If your goal is stability, maybe you can muscle your way through it.
But if your goal is legacy? You need a team.

The truth about “self-made”

Most people who look self-made are actually:

  • supported by systems,

  • backed by relationships,

  • protected by paperwork,

  • guided by advisors,

  • and positioned by partnerships.

They may be the face, but they are not the foundation by themselves.

Why underrepresented communities feel this harder

In underrepresented communities, we often don’t have the same access to:

  • generational financial education,

  • business mentorship,

  • legal protection,

  • banking relationships,

  • or people who will “vouch” in rooms we’re not in.

So we overcompensate by working harder.
But hard work without structure becomes a trap.
And hustle without support becomes a cycle.

Your “wealth team” isn’t just one person

When I say team, I don’t mean 20 people. I mean the right people—aligned people.

Here are the core players every serious builder needs (even if you start small):

1) The Numbers Person (Bookkeeper/CPA)
Not just for taxes — for clarity. You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

2) The Protection Person (Attorney/Contract Support)
Because a lot of folks don’t lose money from lack of sales…
they lose money from lack of protection.

3) The Strategy Person (Coach/Advisor/Operations Brain)
Someone who can see your blind spots and help you build systems—not just ideas.

4) The Community Connector (Network/Ecosystem Partner)
Opportunities move through relationships. Period. Isolation is expensive.

5) The Accountability Circle (1–3 people)
Not cheerleaders. Builders. People who will tell you the truth and keep you focused.

“Team” can start at home too

If you’re a mompreneur or dadpreneur, your household matters.

Sometimes wealth starts with:

  • planning your week as a family,

  • setting boundaries around your time,

  • sharing responsibilities,

  • and making sure the home doesn’t collapse while the dream is being built.

A business that costs you your health, peace, or children is not success—it's a sacrifice with no strategy.

Here’s your assignment this week

Don’t just work harder. Work smarter.

Ask yourself:

  • Who do I need on my team right now?

  • What role am I missing—numbers, protection, strategy, or operations?

  • Where am I pretending I’m okay, but I actually need support?

  • What systems can I put in place to stop depending on “motivation”?

Because when you build with a team, you:

  • move faster,

  • make fewer mistakes,

  • protect your energy,

  • and multiply your results.

Closing

You weren’t created to carry everything alone.
And you don’t have to “prove” your strength by struggling in silence.

Wealth is a team sport.
Build your team. Build your systems. Build your legacy.

Peace, purpose, people.

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...
