Allyson Byrd, referred to as ‘The Profit Accelerator’ by her clients is up and pouring huge chunks of knowledge in today’s podcast! Just as she said at the beginning of our chat: “Notetakers are money makers”. So I am telling upfront now, go grab your pen and paper, notebook, notepad, or anything that you can take notes on because I assure you, you’ll be burning with grit and inspiration after today’s episode!

Allyson grew up, on what she says the unfortunate ‘normal’ of the 80’s black woman life. She dropped out of high school at 15 years old, started working for hourly jobs, went back to high school at 19, and did not finish college afterwards. She was very smart growing up but was forced to drop out of high school because of financial restraints, she could not even afford to catch the bus. However, today, she’s in the top 1% of our society is earning and runs two multi seven-figure companies. How did she do it? Her turning moment was when she joined a three-day course called “Search for significance” which talks about why you are valuable. That is when she was able to start this conversation with herself and understanding that she is valuable, she is worthy and that she can do what her forefathers were not able to do. She understood the privilege there is to be black, to be a woman, and to being whose you are.

She did not have financial literacy growing up, but the groups she joined into, the seminars she attended, and the knowledge and information she constantly feeds her mind formed her strong mindset and willpower. After taking a three-day master class, she then stepped in on stage and for the first time made an offer of $7,800 of where eight out of ten said yes. That’s when she knew that the way we've been conversing with the general population about money is not right and that she’s going to be the one that changes the conversation. That’s what she’s actually doing today! Be sure to listen to this fire episode in full and to share this with everyone you know and care about!

Here’s What You Missed

• Understanding how you’re privileged

Knowledge Nuggets

[4:14] There's a privilege of being black. There's a privilege of being a woman. There's a privilege of knowing who you are and whose you are.

[6:06] So I am a messenger of truth, abundance, and overflow.

[7:50] “We're here. And nobody is removing us from the table. We're bringing our own chairs. We're bringing our own microphones. We're rewriting the narrative and we're unapologetically standing in the space, taking up space to do good, to be the light, and to transform the world".

[10:52] Get into group sessions that inspire you to think about what you think about and then identify, do those thoughts still work for me?

[12:48] you have a right to have a conversation to say, why am I here? Why am I necessary? Why did you assign me? That's your gifting? That's your purpose? And then out of that comes your contribution.

[18:11] Abundance is not only our birthright. What I got very clear about is that it's gotta be our focal point, our place of obsession to allow us to really step into the service-driven agents of change that we all are.

[22:16] I say if what you live in your life today is everything that you could ask for. Imagine or think then you have not yet stepped into the supernatural that's available to you.

[24:15] you have two accounts that help you thrive in life. Account #1 is the account called LOVE, and account #2 is the account called SUCCESS. There are people that can fuel you with love, and there are people that can fuel you with principles that shift your trajectory around success. So travel and find those people.

[26:45] If that's all you're seeing, that's all you're knowing. If that's all you're knowing. That's all you're curating. If that's all you're curating, that's all you're living.

[31:48] The teaching moments are never the ones that elevate you. The teaching moments are the ones that bring you to your knees, that humble you.

[32:48] 15% of our success is based on skill, knowledge, talent education. 85% is based on our own personal permission slip that we write to ourselves.

[36:47] Gardener mentality: you tend only to the territory that you have. Have the farmer mentality: I'm going to tend to my territory in such a way that it grows and can feed others. Move out of conformity and complacency that can really grab us

[42:37] The first thing is to get in a therapy group, in a space where you're seen, heard, and acknowledge. Second, shift your culture and your environment and expand it. Third: start a gratitude postcard.

[41:15] Diversify what you listen to.
