During those dark periods in your life you may feel lost, helpless, and want to throw in the towel.

But there is a light that will continue to guide you step by step if you are willing to trust it.

Storm is one of the most powerful X-men because she can control the weather however she desires. Unlike Storm, we can't control the weather. Literally and metaphorically. But we have the power to push through every season that passes through our lives and entrepreneurial journeys

"Flexing" on others should never be a priority. Even if they wronged you. You may not be a success yet in your eyes, but in the grand scheme of things you have achieved success already.

Despite racism, capitalism, trauma, and many other unseen evil forces in this world you're still here. If you are going to flex on anything, flex on that.

When you have goals to achieve you have to understand you will be uncomfortable for a long period of time. And no one knows how long that period may be. That's why you have to become comfortable during that uncomfortable period. If you can do that your endurance will be stronger and then before you know it your struggles TODAY will be far better than your best effort YESTERDAY.

Entrepreneurs and Dream chasers face many barriers to entry as we seek success. It can become extremely frustrating and discouraging. So much so that we begin to worship these barriers because we *think* the barriers will become our salvation. That line of thinking is very dangerous and far from the truth. That's why the "g" in god in today's episode is lowercased.

When we hear "generational wealth" we automatically think about tangible things such as currency, mansions, boats, cars, etc.

But generational wealth has many forms that are intangible like love, support, and inspiration. This is how Darrius Gates got to where he is today and why he's so focused on paying it forward.

This is a very traumatic world we live in. On all fronts. It's very discouraging especially if you have goals you're striving for.

Nevertheless, as long as we have air in our lungs we have the power to write our own scripts and give ourselves, and others, the happy ending we deserve.

Shawn Michelle's Homemade Ice cream is the brainchild of YahYa Muhammad. Like many entrepreneurs he was met with hurdle after hurdle, and even tragedy unfortunately, but it was his strong faith that knocked down every barrier.
