Creating A Sturdy Empire

We all aspire the most fruitful things that comes with life. The most money, the perfect family, successful business, kid prodigies, lots of assets, and an abundantly happy lifestyle. What if I told you that you could have all those exact things? Even in ancient societies there were Empires built around these exact life blessings. My name is Jerald, I'm a 21 year old entrepreneur from Atlanta, GA.

Derrick Grace II, African American entrepreneur from Tampa, FL. He is the inventor of the Unlearn - Relearn education platform, Best-Selling author who sold over 50,000 copies independently, and he also created the, "In Home Banking" board game. All of his inventions are designed to create a more modern system of education that teaches adults and the youth the importance of financial literacy, self-love, self-education, self-preservation, and self-awareness.

Derrick's influence has made me reevaluate a lot of the systems I had been accustomed to by just learning in school. Looking into his teachings I began to understand the importance of educating myself on the rich which he calls the "Wolves" ; and those who don't study them are considered the sheep. The reason is because school systems only teach us the minimum of what we need to know so they mold people into becoming working-class citizens. Studying the rich people like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and more opens your mind up to the greatness inside of yourself.

He influences my life in 3 major areas; first being family oriented and how he teaches us to progress in ways that we can actually spread this value to our family in the current generation and future. Next he inspires me to create opportunity for myself in ways that would allow me to live life financially free. Lastly to not make excuses and to always be prepared to save my self. Just acknowledging these three have an immaculate impact in how I cherish the 24 hours I have in each day. I'm now bonding more with my family with an activity I call, "Meet Me Half Way". Meeting my parents, siblings, cousins, and others halfway allows me to one be more present in the moment and cherishing time spent. Often we focus to much on the future or get caught up in the past and this blocks us from showing the gratitude for the things we have and the time we spend with family now. Also with Derrick's teachings of financial literacy and enhancing your portfolio, you are now creating freedom to where you don't have to work a job nor rely on government's assistance. When you hedge your portfolio and continue to invest and progress your also setting up your offspring and further generations after you to receive not only the wealth but the knowledge to continue to do the same. Finally, not being the one to create excuses. Excuses are like butts; everyone has them. But how will excuses bring you the things you desire? Derrick says many times you prioritize what you want so to cut excuses and start making sacrifices for the things that matter.

All together, Derrick's lessons and influence is stunningly changing the game. His service is provided for all and especially people of melanin. Tuning into to the value he gives will put you in a mindset of conquering and hunger which ultimately will create the desired lifestyle you wish to live! This is the black innovator that inspires me the most.
