They are simply reallocating their resources, making intentional decisions, figuring out what matters, and then strategically aligning their actions to make it happen. Most multi-six figure income entrepreneurs are regular folk like you and me. They work hard, possess good intelligence, are gifted in their trade, and desire to do good by everyone around them. The difference between the multi-six figure income entrepreneurs and others is that these successful entrepreneurs have the courage, strategy, and proximity necessary to reach futures that most will only watch in a Hollywood movie.

I work with a diverse base of clients. One thing that I have noticed is that there is an overall difference in the financial performance experienced by non-minority clientele in comparison to minority owned businesses. Although statistics speak of economic and opportunistic disparities, these statistics have always puzzled me. You see, I have seen substantial success in my minority clients that have implemented the Profit First System.

Now don’t get me wrong. I, as well as, my minority clients, have experienced challenges. In my career I have been in many rooms where I have been the only person of color. I have looked around to find that the only people who resembled me were the wait and janitorial staff.

Growing up my father told me I would have to work one and a half times harder than everyone else and be twice as good just to be invited to sit at the table. However, the reality that I have found is that when you work twice as hard and are twice as good, you are not only invited to sit at the table, but you get to create your own.

It’s time to rise.
