You know if you not going hard enough to achieve your goals. No time to waste. You either want it or not! No in between.

Everyday God gives you a chance and a choice. You do with it what you must but you get an opportunity everyday you wake up a chance to be better and a choice to do better. Take the chance and make the right choice.

I know you ready to get back to normal life but take this time to reset. Come out of this “stay at home” with a new found purpose and direction. Don’t come out of it the same way you went into it. Make your next move your best move #TAJsaidit

COVID-19 should be a lesson for all of us. Life happens and if you don’t have your family ready for the rainy day then you playing. Get on your A game because your B game won’t work in thing called life. #TAJsaidit

A man once said “it’s better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one, then have an opportunity and not be prepared for it” it’s almost 2020 GET PREPARED GET READY! Your blessings are around the corner! Get ready to receive them #TAJsaidit

Instagram recently reported that “likes” will be removed starting this week. This will impact so many in a good and bad way. Now content will speak instead of likes. So many based their influence on likes. You got to know before Instagram was created you were dope. The day you were born you were dope. Likes didn’t matter. Likes don’t matter. Create dope content and be confident in who are and inspire others and that means more then how many likes you get. #TAJsaidit

We’ve become a cold society. I challenge you this week to call a friend or a love one you haven’t spoke to lately and check on them. Tell them you love them.

Let’s get it back to what made our country great. #TAJsaidit

Lonzo Ball 8,5 and 5 and is benched for what reason we do not know. Lonzo has been through a lot and all the kid wants to do is play basketball. Season opener comes out only has one turnover and at the tone early before being pulled in the 3rd and benched until the end of regulation. This is a bad sign for Lonzo and the Pelicans. Hopefully the issue gets cleared up and fast before the problem gets out of control.

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers put on a defensive display last night against Lebron James and the Lakers. Lebron has no answer for Leonard’s 30 points and appeared uninterested at times. This was must see tv and they didn’t disappoint. Danny Green lit up the 3rd quarter with a host of 3 pointers to keep the Lakers in the game. But in the end Patrick Beverley defense and energy pushed the Clippers to their first win of the 2019-20 nba season. This will be interesting.

In order to receive compensation for your product and/or service you must first be educated in that field. If you don’t have the understanding of what you’re doing then how will you know what you’re suppose to get paid? In order to know the value you must first know the landscape of your hustle. Can’t have one without the other. You will be cheating yourself. Get the education first then you will have a concise understanding on how you suppose to be paid. #TAJsaidit

Don’t do what you do looking for supporters. Do what you do because you believe in you. When people see you have a high quality product or service and you believe in you they will believe! Never look for something that will come naturally when you believe in you and have something of quality to provide.

We all want success but in order for that to happen we must first make the decision to be successful. Make the decision and then spend the rest of your life living out that decision. #TAJsaidit

In order to live out your purpose you must first answer the question, what’s your WHY? Once you have answered that question then you can start to plot plan and strategize on how you’re going to carry out your purpose for the rest of your life. If you’re just chasing anything then it’s going to be difficult to achieve your goal. Figure out your why so you know why you’re going through all the blood sweat and tears for.

In order to kill the old you and birth a new one it will take extreme discipline and sacrifice. In order to achieve this goal you will need to stay in the gym. The mental gym, physical gym, spiritual gym and the financial gym. Can’t get to where you want to be if you don’t go where you need to go to get there. #TAJsaidit

People we always say “how bad” they want something but how bad they want it? If you really want something then you will do ANYTHING to get it. People make time for things they want. Make time to get better!

Make sure the people around you are uplifting you, enhancing you or upgrading you in some way. If your circle isn’t fighting for financial independence, better health, freedom, spiritual enlightenment then you in the wrong circle. Surround yourself with winners and you will win. Surround yourself with losers and you will lose #TAJsaidit

So many of us try to be someone other than ourselves. We think that people don’t like us the way we are but that’s not true. Someone out there loves you for you. You don’t have to impress or do anything other than be YOU. Be happy with who you are. If there is something you want to change about yourself then change it. But change it for YOU and only YOU. Your life will be so much better when you ACCEPT who YOU ARE! Once you can do that and be the BEST version of YOU that you can then you will see just how wonderful life can be. Be yourself #TAJsaidit

LeBron James is one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA. but to say that he is the greatest just because he went to Cleveland and want to championship to me does not give you the stamp of the goat just because he went home and won a championship.
