“Greatness is achieved in the trenches, when nothing but the will to be an icon is your creative fuel. The greats are all the same-Beyoncé, Serena Williams, LeBron, and the like: they’re never satisfied with where they are now. They’re always looking ahead, always looking to improve, always looking to break new ground. The will to transcend never leaves.”

— Marcus J. Moore, author of The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America

I have been in the trenches all 2020, working my butt off in every aspect of life to get better and reach my full potential. I’ve spent the bulk of December going through my finances, updating my budget, creating revenue strategies, defining timelines for debt repayment, and revising estate planning documents. It has taken a lot of effort to get all of this together, but financial health is critical, so all this had to be done. Yesterday, I sat down and started working on my big picture goals for 2021. I’m thankful that my partner, Dr. Lakisha Simmons, is skilled in these aspects of life and created tools to help me figure this out. Check out the list below and links to each resource.
