Speaker 1:
Yes, Lord.
Speaker 2:
We've been killing the game.
Speaker 1:
Yes, Lord.
Speaker 2:
Since 2024, came in with a bang.
Speaker 1:
Every.
Speaker 2:
Friday I hit you up.
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
And I say, here go my three wins for the week.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2:
I hit you up.
Speaker 1:
I say Big.
Speaker 2:
Charles, here go my three wins.
Speaker 1:
So the first time you did that, though, the first time you just hit me about the blue and was like three wins for the week and you just labeled them. I was like it just shocked my brain, but it was a great high. I got from that, though. It was an instant spike of dopamine.
Speaker 2:
Right, right.
Speaker 1:
Because at the end of the day, monday through Friday, we grind Woo Matter of fact, we grind seven days a week. We just loosen up a little, fall back a little bit on Saturday and Sunday. That part, you know that part. But when you sent that to me I was like what a brilliant idea, why? Thank you what a brilliant idea and what a way to start 2024. Every Friday we check in with our goddamn wins.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, every Friday we do a check in with our goddamn wins. Yep, every Friday we do a check-in, and so what I love about it is that I usually initiate it because it's on my calendar, you know. So we can keep it as part of our weekly routine to celebrate because, at the end of the day, you know what I'm working on, I know what you're working on, but, like this past week, life gone live.
Speaker 1:
Wait, though. Remember that life is gone, live, live. But I want to share With them what we're Working on, though A little bit Okay, because it needs to be known I went too fast. It needs to be known that, how you are, you are already A successful entrepreneur.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
In my mind you are already Like woman in both goals. Appreciate you. You know what I mean. But for you to be, can I say your age?
Speaker 2:
you better say the right age, because you've been acting up, say it for you to be 44 years young thank you right, a successful entrepreneur.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, you're in a good space. You have a husband I love you, have children I love you. Every. You know what I mean. You're in a good space, but you decided to stretch yourself in 2024 and go back to school. Oh god. So not only do you go to school, you, you run your business for 12 hours a day. Yeah, as soon as you get off work. We got to paint the picture for y'all because they think we just be talking that talk, you understand me? This right here is earned. Yeah, you go, you work, you're a boss for 12 hours out the day. You go, you work, you're a boss for 12 hours out the day. Straight after work, you go to school, open up the computer, online school for a few hours Straight. After that, you go to the kitchen. It's time to be a mom and a wife making dinner, have our place ready, serve your entire family. About time you get to the bedroom, it's time to take a shower. Quick talk, check in and go to sleep and do it all over again.
Speaker 2:
Here's the thing though.
Speaker 1:
Big dog, energy, god, energy, baby.
Speaker 2:
The part that you don't see because you're at work is that I've given up my lunch break, so I don't get a lunch break. I actually, I actually start school at 12 o'clock each day.
Speaker 2:
That's my first session from 12 to 2. And then I go back to work and I get my kids from school, do all the things and then I tap back into school at 5 o'clock and I'm so strategic and so disciplined and so into the details that once I got a rhythm with the three classes that I'm taking, I make sure I do all of my assignments. I don't care how much I got to stretch myself. Monday through Friday, that's when I'm doing my assignments, because I know who I am, I know the person that I am and I need balance. I need Saturday and Sundays to belong to me and so if I gotta put in that extra grind throughout the week to get my assignments done, my reading, studying, all of that, then that's just what Monday through Friday just gonna have to look like right now, because I need Saturday and Sunday to be time to recharge, you know, spend time with my family, be fully present and not have to do the extra stuff.
Speaker 2:
And so, backtracking, what I love about the Friday check-ins is that I tell you my three wins and they vary each week depending on the week and you know what's going on in the week but you always celebrate and congratulate me. You know you say good job, and sometimes we throw in a little bonus. You know what I mean and then you know, when time permits with you, what you have going on. You'll circle back and you'll say what your three wins are for the week and I think, like just that weekly check in helps us both. It holds us both accountable to making sure that we have something to celebrate at least three things out of any bucket in your life. It don't have to be work, it don't have to be work, it don't have to be school, it don't out of any bucket in your life that you want to celebrate and call it a win. You get the autonomy to do that yes, lord it's up to you listen, monday through we.
Speaker 1:
We said last year in 2023. We said fourth quarter mentality, did we not? Yeah, yeah, we did, we did 2024 hit, everything came matters and we still been trucking, we still going, holding each other accountable. I get up every morning at 3 30 in the morning, go to bed around 8 30 in the in at night. You do it all over again. Yeah, every single day going to work, working on the, on the business, working on my. Working on me, yeah, reading, studying, meditating, making sure I have a word for my community, for our community.
Speaker 1:
Hitting that gym at five, hitting that gym at five in the morning before work. Yeah man, this, this man, I'm so grateful for it and I'm doing it. I'm doing it without complaining, yeah, because when it's your passion, when it's your purpose, you don't have to feel like doing it.
Speaker 2:
Right.
Speaker 1:
When you are called to serve the community and do what you're doing a childcare service you getting your ass whooped daily, and you get up every single day, every day, to make this podcast. I have to work daily. I get up. My Sun up, sun up to sundown. I have to get up and study. I have to meditate, go to the gym, work on me on my way to work. I work with children that are special needs, artistic. I have to work while I'm on my way to work. When I get on my 15-minute break, I'm working on the podcast. When I get on my lunch break, I'm working on the podcast. When I get off work, I'm working on the podcast. And when I get home, I have like an hour or two to work on the podcast, because you're still working. Yep, you know. This is the thing, though, about passion. Though you don't always have to feel good, because you're not going to always feel good, majority of the time, you feel like you're getting your ass whooped the majority of the time.
Speaker 1:
Yes, amen but you get up and you do it over and over, and over and over. Why? Because this is what we would do if this is, this is what God has called us to do, and Absolutely. And those three wins beloved make us like really recap, because I really be down when it come on Friday, wednesday, I'm like, oh my God, yep, but I'm going to keep going. Yeah, but when Friday hit and it's time to hit those wins for the week, it just give me a burst of energy like we did it again.
Speaker 2:
Yep, yep. And it's funny because, like you know, a couple of weeks ago I was struggling. I was like a win, like I had to really dig deep. You know what I mean. I had to dig deep and really-.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I can tell by your text that you were sending me.
Speaker 2:
Figure out like nah, there's, there's three wins from this week. I don't really care what happened, what it looked like, how I feel there were three wins that happened. And so I dug deep and that's what it makes you do too, on those weeks that are tougher than others Cause some weeks it's easy I'm like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is what I'm proud about. But on that particular week I was kind of like yo, it's a struggle. So I really had to sit with myself and say, girl, find you three wins. And I did.
