He is a Pastor, real estate entrepreneur, financial strategist, and host of Let’s Talk Real Estate. He is also the author of the newly published The Real Estate Wealth Creator Blueprint: Keys to Overcoming Fear, lack of Money, and Inexperience to Possess the Land. “The Real Estate Wealth Creator Blueprint by Dexter B. Jenkins isn’t your typical feel-good faith and finance book. It’s a wake-up call, plain and simple. For far too long, many believers have been trapped by misguided notions that faith and wealth don’t mix, or worse, that seeking financial success is somehow ‘unholy.’ Dexter blows that myth out of the water. As a pastor and financial mentor, he challenges you to stop limiting God’s abundance with a middle-class mindset. Real estate is the tool, but your faith is the engine that drives wealth creation. This book forces you to confront your beliefs about money, faith, and God's will—and if you’re not ready for that, this book isn't for you.

The Power of Faith and Resilience in Transforming Your Business Journey Building a successful business while maintaining a strong sense of personal grounding can be challenging. However, the power of faith and resilience in shaping one's dream life and business is truly astounding. Prioritizing time to pray helps guide your days to accomplish your goals and stay strong in faith in Christ. The Power of Faith in Staying Grounded Prioritizing faith as the center of life and business helps keep you grounded, particularly in overwhelming moments. Starting each day focused on His word through Bible study and time to pray, clarifies the day ahead and reminds you of what is most important. When we begin our day with the peace of God, that is something we can hold onto and look to as the chaos of what the day might bring tries to take over. Redefining Success Through God When we begin our day in prayer and with God, we look at our business and how we define success through a different lens. We all have God-given gifts, and if you have been called to help serve others through coaching, you must remember why. Remembering your calling and measuring success by your impact rather than the number of dollar signs you make brings immense peace to your day and helps keep you focused on serving your clients. Is there a Right Way to Pray? Prayer is a conversation with God. It is an opportunity to share with Him as a father and a brother, a place to find comfort. As long as you are conversing, there is no right or wrong way to pray. When you get more specific about what you seek guidance with and fully share what is going on in your life, God will answer that prayer. The power of faith is in knowing God will answer in his time and finding gratitude in his answers. Navigating Social Media and Business Growth Entrepreneurs are under enormous pressure to maintain a social media presence. This pressure leads to comparing yourself to others and imposter syndrome, which is the idea that if you are not doing precisely what someone else is doing, you may not be an expert who can help others. Rather than putting your efforts solely into social media, building a solid foundation for your business is essential. This can be done through search engine optimization to help your soulmate clients find you. Building a website that speaks to who you are, sharing information through meaningful blog posts and podcast interviews, and building relationships through networking and collaborations are all ways to connect with your soulmate clients without falling into the social comparisons so often associated with social media.

In this episode of the Marketing Secrets podcast, I continue my in-depth conversation with Josh Forti, exploring the ideas in Atlas Shrugged and diving into the intersection of personal beliefs, entrepreneurship, and family values. Throughout this series, we've tackled sensitive subjects like religion, politics, and the evolving role of family, all framed within the philosophy of Ayn Rand's classic. In this fourth installment, Josh and I examine the driving forces behind entrepreneurship, the challenges of staying true to core values, and how these principles influence both business and personal life. Josh and I discuss how our upbringings and relationships with our parents shaped our outlooks and entrepreneurial spirits. We reflect on how pivotal those early family values were to our development, particularly the roles of our fathers as hardworking role models and our mothers as sources of unconditional support. We also talk about the significant impact of maintaining a balance between masculine and feminine energy in relationships, a concept I first explored with Tony Robbins. Key Highlights: Parental Influence: How family dynamics and values shape entrepreneurial drive and personal development. Masculine and Feminine Energy: Insights from Tony Robbins on balancing energies in relationships and their importance in family stability. Entrepreneurship and Influence: The role of communication in making complex ideas accessible and influential to a broad audience. Philosophical Conflicts: Navigating the concepts of charity and self-interest in Atlas Shrugged and reconciling these with our faith and moral values. This episode is packed with personal insights on navigating life as an entrepreneur while remaining grounded in one's values. Join us as we reflect on the intersection of philosophy, family, and business and how they shape our path forward.

Send us a textAfter years of picturing myself in the pulpit, I discovered my true calling wasn't confined to a church, but rather in the bustling world of business. What happens when faith meets the marketplace? This episode of "The Success Edge" reveals how embracing your God-given talents without apology can lead to a life of purpose and professional growth. Inspired by Proverbs 22:29, I share how integrating spirituality with work has transformed my journey from aspiring preacher to a marketplace leader, even amidst the challenges of election day anxiety.The road to understanding one's purpose is rarely straightforward. My college years were marked by unexpected challenges, like a fractured arm that abruptly changed my athletic path. These setbacks guided me toward a newfound passion in business, sparked by a marketing class and the influence of a dedicated coach. From decathlon athlete to hammer thrower, my evolution wasn't just physical. It was in these moments of transformation and a mission trip to Europe that I met my future wife, Amy J Ellis, underscoring the serendipitous beauty of life's journey.Mentorship played a vital role during times of personal struggle, offering guidance when I needed it most. Navigating relationships and maintaining purity were significant challenges, but a chance encounter at church led to transformative growth. With gratitude, I reflect on the profound impact my mentor had on shaping my path. Join me as I recount these pivotal experiences and affirm the belief that we are indeed blessed, highly favored, and empowered to prosper in our endeavors.Rumi.aiAll-in-one meeting tool with real-time transcription & searchable Meeting Memory™Support the show
