Money is a big challenge for many in black Caribbean communities. A common reason is our poor money practices. In this episode, I share my personal experiences that ran me into challenges with money and four things I had to do to correct my course. Change | Create | Difference | Achieve

All talk no action...Many of us do that a lot, talk, talk, talk. We tell ourselves and others about how good we are, what we are going to do, what to expect with and then have nothing to show for it. All of that does one thing, makes us feel good about ourselves at that moment, but do we have anything to show for it? Nope! That's what we call verbal masturbation and I'll share why not a very good thing...you might just go blind.

It's hard for us to accept that most of our challenges stem from our own poor decisions, however, it's a start but painful truth. The thing with this however is that we can learn from these hard truths to help us move forward.

It's very easy for us to believe in the potential of others, however, it's hard for us sometimes to see that same potential within ourselves. Based on our own past mistakes we are overly critical of ourselves to the point where we condemn ourselves to a life of punishment, despair, depression, etc. I'm here to tell you that you don't need to be. Yes, we will mess up sometimes, however, mistakes and failure is part of life and helps build our character.

How we treat each other as friends say a lot about our character. I normally think that if how we treat our friends represented our business, then how many of us would be out of business? Friendship is a service and for me, I had a hard time accepting that I was not being a good friend to others.
