Thank you for all you do inthe community. Hey, I appreciate it.
I love it here. I meanI made three years back in December
(01:26):
Decero eighteen eighty three years has beena very pleasure moment, a ride and
adventure. And we know that thestory has not done yet, and this
is another chapter for us all.And I thank you for the work that
you're doing consistent on basis of alltime. I see you on social media,
never drifting the left nor the right. You're focus on your goal and
(01:48):
you're focus on your assignment. Youfocus on your venture. And I thought
you actually was a Texas native.Then I realize you're from Minneapolis and you
transit. You're here to the dfdove back in twenty sixteen and there since
Ninka bit Renna since then. Sogive us a recap, give us,
give us all the good good stuffabout who is Nikki Jackson, the girl
(02:09):
from Minnesota now way down in thesouth in Texas, and and just really
make it a Mark here at dfDEB. Yes. So, my name
is Nikki. I'm originally from Illinois, but I grew up in Minnesota.
I'm a mother of five children,three boys and two girls, and three
(02:30):
grandchildren. I relocated to so beforethe prior to us moving to the DFW
area, I used to come visit, so I got I got a fun
of the South, and y'all wonme over. Obviously the hot weather Minnesota
is very cold, the people herewas friendlier. I did not know that
(02:54):
that we will be moving here.So twenty sixteen we moved here and the
transition wasn't easy at all because Ileft my grandchildren and my two oldest ones.
But I knew that I felt likeI wasn't growing as a person.
A lot of times we get caughtup in our comfort zone where we're from,
who we're familiar with, you know, family friends. I was just
(03:17):
too comfortable, and so I hadto get from uncomfortable. I didn't even
know I was going to be abusiness owner. I never thought about being
a business owner. I never thoughtabout being an entrepreneur period. And so
us relocating this is where the foundation, a stronger foundation was built for me
and my family and that's awesome stuffand also one of your big shot to
(03:42):
an open meal face Nancy c Outof Miami, Florida. Thank you Nance
for tuning in as well. Matterof fact, Nancy was me and her
used to coach. We used todo a show together called fight Club back
in the early two thousand, midtwo thousand. Thank her for tuning in
and watching as well. Much loveto you, Nancy all the way in
Miami. So I noticed that alot of people Nikki made a transition here.
(04:09):
I was one of those who madea transition here, like I said,
originally from Alabama, transition here intwenty twenty during the burning pandemic,
and a lot of people have madetheir way down here in Dallas Fort Worth
testionment. Pardon the area. Iknow you hear a lot of times people
used to say the cost of living, the cost of living me personally is
not that expensive here. They don'tpay those state tasks. Here in Alabama
(04:32):
you pay state and federal. Hereyou just pay federal, but you don't
pay there's no state tax here.You know, a lot of people had
transition from all over the region andreally set foot here. And I see
it's a lot of networking. It'sa lot of people who are go getters,
who are grinders. And somebody madea post about the DFW how it's
(04:55):
a booming economic system, and Iknow you are a part of that system.
How has it been for you justthe business that the network, in
the clientele, So how has allthat been going for you? That has
been very good for me. Iput myself out there just to get in
(05:15):
the right rooms. You know,you have to again, you got to
get out your conference zone. Youhave to meet different people. You have
to be open minded. And ifyou're a business owner, that's one of
the requirements for you to be ableto level up, you know, to
get to the next level. Isthat networking part? A lot of times
I like to say, the thingsthat we've been through, someone needs to
(05:36):
hear our story, you know,somebody needs to hear our story. We're
all here to empower each other.And so networking has got me in.
I've got it in many rooms.Within networking built relationships. I know me
and you have been you know,in a couple of years ago, we
was you know, in a ina in the same area you know that
(05:58):
aroundtown Dallas, and then Nick areWe're circling around now you know, so
it's just a circle. When youget to networking, is you get to
circle around with you know different equalYeah, And it's so much stuff here
that you just learn stuff edge go. You learn stuff every day and like
you mentioned, getting out that networkingand a lot of individual have to understand
(06:19):
that you just can't be stuck tothe computer twenty four seven. You have
to get out out. I mean, like you said, you got the
comfort zone. Always go on Google, Google stuff. Somebody always got something
going on somewhere. And like yousaid, it's presenting yourselfl for the right
people. Mean would you say knowinghow to say it? Your confidence has
(06:42):
got be on point, your actte got be on point, and having
all your dusts in a row.And as you being an entrepreneur yourself,
what are your pet PE's nikki whenit comes to interacting or individual who wants
to do business with you actually oneof a couple of my big pack Jesus,
I have to learn that everyone doesn'thave the same work ecthics on myself.
(07:08):
So again, like you just stated, you know, mean what you
say, and say what you mean, or you're gonna say you know what
I'm saying, if we're gonna dothis, we're gonna partner, We're gonna
do whatever you're gonna do this,then show up a lot of But I
found out a lot of people can'tshow up for themselves, So how can
I expect them to show up forme? And we have to you know
what I'm saying. So you haveto look at it like that too.
(07:29):
If somebody's not showing up for themselves, how can you expect them to show
up for you? Right, itmade sense when you're saying, here,
everything start with self first. Andlike you said, if they don't show
up for themselves, how can theyshow up for you? You know,
the individual always showing up late,always main excuses. That's what they're doing
their own life. They're always showingup like they're always making excuses. But
(07:53):
then the same time they want tobe taken seriously. And I had a
conversation on with with the individual ofmy job last year and we had to
come small conversation. I say,what it is now? I know it's
now. Back in the day,I mean, you still got go getters,
but now when the generation now whereyou get a lot of murmuring and
(08:16):
complaining a lot. Yeah, uh, it don't know work. And when
it comes to working, it's likethey want this, they want the success,
but then they want to come atthey want to become at the same
time. And when you getting outhere, it takes work and it gets
so called up in a glitzy glamorinstagrat location. But when it comes to
work, Nikki, I see alot of individuals see it here, a
(08:39):
lot of individual always murmuring and complaining. What is your opinion you want to
sell on? That opinion is youhave to be consistent in anything you do.
That's one of the reasons that Ihave become again, I'm not where
I want to be, but Ihave become successful in the networking game.
Is you know what I'm saying andwhere I am today in the business,
(09:01):
in my business, it is becauseI'm being consistent again showing up for myself,
branding, networking just again, atthe end of the day, is
showing up for myself. You know, you might have an event where ifty
I might not want to go,but being in them rooms is going to
get me where I need to beat. So being consistent, you know,
(09:24):
is just key. Being consistent andif you have a business, you
have to You definitely have to postevery day. You have to tell people
what you because somebody, everybody onour social media pages know what we you
know what we have going on,but other people might not, you know,
like you're saying, putting yourself onGoogle, going to networking events,
passing out your business cards, actuallybranding yourself. I have my brand's shirt
(09:48):
eye, you know, branding yourself. Just getting out there and putting yourself
out there, you know. Butit came easy to me because my work
ethnics working for somebody else in ninefive, I was one of them coworkers
that didn't employees that didn't call off. I picked up extra shits. I
remember a point a time where Ihad one hundred and twenty hours in one
(10:09):
week. That was the type ofemployee I was. So when I became
an entrepreneur, it was easy.You know, it was easy. My
work accent is what it is,right and making that transition because I'm gay.
Jed brought that up. I alsowant to be a big shot.
To delp Missus Foster miss false inthe bill. I had her in the
podcast by two years prior I hadon the podcast, so be shot there
(10:33):
watching also be shot to also latter, I have come on the show soon.
Her name is a Shanty Clifford outof my homes of Alabama. She's
watching said good evening, so beshot there. I never want to get
the individuals who are tuning in onthe regular basis and who watched every week.
I don't want to forget y'all.I'm the one I realized that,
(10:54):
Jeff, you're in the business world, always acknowledge your client, Always acknowledge
your your your public audit, yourvideo audi or if you're an audience.
But these are the ones who payyour bills at the end of the day,
so you don't want to forget aboutthem. Tying knowledge everyone who's tuning
in, and of course also peopleask a lot of questions too now on
the show. So if you haveany questions, any statements that you want
(11:15):
to share, feel free go ahead. That's what it's all about here on
the show. It's all about allof us, not just about one individual,
but about all of us. Ironshopping, iron growing together and stuff
like that. And you mentioned youknow when you work for the corporation,
when you work for someone else,and how you pay that work out there
a lot of individuals. I ain'ta lot of individual I would say,
(11:37):
well, you know, I try. I just ain't meant to work for
anybody. But you got to realizewhen you're working a nine to five or
twelve or twelve, it's a learningexperience. You learn about the rules,
you learn, you learn, youlearn about the barlows, you learn about
to scaredule, You'll learn about therequirements, how to go by hiring people,
(12:01):
having applications. All that stuff playsrole for an entrepreneurship of nick in
my opinion. So when you gothrough that that phase or work for someone,
you do that as a learning experience, and that also treats you how
you don't want to treat your employeesright. And then also the structure,
(12:22):
because yeah, well sometimes that's anotherbroadcast, but on a positive note,
structure, you know what I'm saying. And also you gotta realize too showing
up if you are a business ownedand you you was employees, ain'tbody you
was a ployee for he was abusiness business owner, y'all? Thinking about
Okay, when they posit you withthe scheduled, you made a commitment to
(12:45):
commit to that schedule. You knowwhat I'm saying. So it's like,
Okay, I don't want to Idon't want to buy calling out on me.
I don't want nobody quitting on me. So I gotta make sure I'm
swing no good seeds. That makessense. So if I'm so any good
seeds, I'm gonna reap that heartharvest in return because I sold them good
seasons someone else as well also,And I just look at that, Nikki.
(13:07):
It's all about being a student,your suitor of the game. And
we're constantly and evolving each and nevermoment because every time we do a product
or every time we make a sellwhat we do, we want to get
better. Okay, y'all need toget on this one, but I want
to take up another level because it'sall about challenging yourself on growing, involving,
like you said, getting out yourcomfort zone. And that's a great
(13:28):
thing about it as well. Also, and I know you got a lot
of great events coming up and swellin the DFDV elaborate on the upcoming events
you have going You got you gota quite amazing panel of individuals who I
know person that's going to be apart of it, So elaborate on the
upcoming events you have coming up it'sthis month, right you gotta yeah,
(13:50):
we have won this coming up Saturday. And so with our nonprofit organization,
Just the Queen Will Goals and parnWomen, we are located in the DFW
area, service the whole d FWarea. And what we do we bring
community events and educational workshops and sobring it, I say, like we
like to bring awareness, accountability andinter healing and so so for each month
(14:18):
our events are different. So likefor this past just coming up Saturday,
we're having a just Loving Meat Branchand what we're gonna do. What we're
doing is bringing awareness about self care, self love, and boundaries. You
know, because a lot of thatOkay, it's Valentine's Day, it's love,
you know, lovering ourselfs. Sowhat does that mean to you?
Because loving, self love, selfcare, and boundaries look different to everyone.
(14:41):
You know, some people don't evenknow about self love. Some people
don't love themselves, some people don'thave issues with boundaries. And so what
we do we bring the expert speakersin to pour into the community. Next
month, we'll be doing a motherson dance and a mother daughter dands and
so we put no age restriction becauseat the end of the day, you're
(15:03):
your mother's son forever, you knowwhat I'm saying, forever, And so
we did that last year. Sothis year would be our second annual.
March eighth is our Mother's Son Danceand again we'll have speakers, DJ's photos
and that's to create memories. SoI like to tell people my oldest are
twenty nine and thirty, and theydon't talk about the game systems I bought
(15:24):
them in the Jordan's They talk aboutthe quality time that we spend. March
twenty third would be our Mother DaughterDance and again just building relationships, how
the relationship looks like from mother anddaughter coart, you know, as priceless
memories. You're always going to beyour mother's first, you know what I'm
saying, your mother's daughter and viceversa. And what we found out last
(15:46):
year it was three generations. Sothe mother brought her daughter and then her
mother came okay, So that's youknow, that's three generations, and then
the mother's son. The mother broughther son, and then her husband brought
his mother okay, And that's againcreating those memories. We do education workshop
(16:10):
we also do educational workshop. Weare an advocate for mental health awareness.
Our children are telling us what theyneed in their own ways, and so
I'd like to tell parents or anyonethat has a youth in their you know,
anybody that has youth, let's putour cell phones down. Let's put
(16:30):
our have them put their down,and start having these uncomfortable conversations because a
lot of times when you at youryouth, how are you doing? They
got the head down, I'm okay, but we know that every day is
not an okay day for us,right right, So we need to put
the phones down and start having thoseuncomfortable conversations, you know, right most
(16:52):

he's in the conversation, my peepshop, Miss you, keep with

(17:36):
know where you're watching us from andwhen we big shut out and we get
back in. So we're gonna tunein to our first Mercier breaking. After
that, we'll be right back withour Q and a conversation. Terror County
just spend eighteen million on what girl? They just spent eighteen million dollars sending
(17:57):
inmates to Guards County because all fourof our jails are filled here and I
know it's because these courts are backedup. This is a problem. But
Mark, I know you can helpfix this. Okay, I know what
I need to do. I'm MarkClayton, Judicial candidate for Terran County Criminal
(18:48):
District Court. Too. I promiseto continue serving and protecting the citizens of
Tarrant County by following the law,upholding our constitution, ensuring fair and equitable
senency rually, firmly, but withcompassion. I need you to make your
mark in twenty twenty four. Runto the polls and vote for me,
because your life depends on it.Hey, it was up there. I
(19:17):
was back here on the Walking theWaves Impact Boy was podcast and I said,
we thank everybody for tuning in.Mister you said it, come in,
said but just love firm and Nikkilove y'all love you back. It's
well, my brother, great word. So we're back here. Yeah.
Probably interesting point, nik about thecomings having conversation, which is very important
because we in the world now wheresocial media has to I won't blame social
(19:45):
media, but how individuals handle socialmedia. We're we're so distracted by the
trund of devices where if you goout today, people don't even have come
and say and no more. They'reso busy glue into their phone and and
just annoying the person they're with.Compared to back then, with pre cell
(20:11):
phones and Facebook and Instagram, wedidn't have none of that stuff. You
just had good old fashioned conversation.So I'm glad you brought that up.
Getting back to the basis, goingback to that landmark of having conversations where
a lot of time individual are dealingwith a lot of things, question,
a lot of things on a regularbasis where that that I originated from is
(20:34):
have these conversations, have you healthyconversations, have you uncomfortable conversations, because
I'm going beautiful for a moment.The Bible said Adam and Eve were naked
and they was not a shame.In other words, they they didn't have
anything to hide even if it wasnaked. Fifthly, but if you look
at perspiracy, that's how God wantsto be. God wants us to be
(20:55):
naked and not a shame, notin badge to have these conversations where it's
all about having a breakthrough, Nikki, because I had a conversation with someone
on yesterday and I've never been toan AA meeting, but I know in
AA they teaches you to mint thatyou have a problem, right, and
(21:15):
that's how we gonna get our breakthroughonce we admit that we have an issue.
So we better talk about these issues. And a lot of time,
Nikki, people are feeling get thatjudgmental mindset where I'm going through this or
I may experience this, but Idon't want to be judged. How can
(21:37):
we get past that judgmental because it'sall about having a breakthrough. The strip
said whom the son said, freeis free indeed. So it's all about
having a breakthrough. So what youwant to say about that? So,
yeah, it's time to start havingthose creating safe places, you know,
just create those safe places where yourchildren being transparent. I know in my
(22:00):
household when I was younger, mymother was very transparent about what she went
through in her life, and sothat caused me to do the same because
a lot of times, when you'rea parent, your children are on your
journey too. So yet we're theparents have trauma, but then also the
kids they go through everything that we'regoing through, right, But a lot
(22:23):
of you know, in the backof the days, what went on in
the household, you don't talk about, you know, the crazy ain'ty that
crazy uncle, But they had theyhad issues that they never got resolved.
So that's why they became So itwas a label, you know, the
label was they're crazy, but actuallythey wasn't. They just hadn't been able
to heal from their traumas. Sowhat I had to do once I started
(22:45):
hit them from my traumas is Ihave to pull my kids back and listen
to their stuff, listen to theirstories because they have stories through that I
didn't even know. And that's howthe healing process. We can stop it
going from generation to generation. Isto have safe for our youth and adults.
When we do these workshops, whenwe do these events, it's to
(23:07):
bring awareness, to say, tolet your children know what you've been going
through. I went to last year, I went to any a conference,
a woman's conference, and I wassitting next to this eighty year old lady
eighty who had not had a chanceto heal from her traumas eighty and she
(23:30):
just so could you imagine not hill. I couldn't even imagine holding on from
trauma stuff or things that happened inmy path and not here. You can't
flourish to be who you called tobe because you have all that trauma.
And so we need to start creatingsafe places for our families to heal.
Children, mother, father, eighties, uncles, everyone needs to heal,
(23:52):
you know. And it's it's awhole picture. So it's not just you
know, the mother heells and thenthe kids are here. Everyone needs to
heal. So we need to startcreating those safe places. Right you start
bringing board games, man, myfamily, we sit down, no phones,
we start playing board games, playboard games, you know, taking
walks, just creating again that safeplace, right, you know, having
(24:17):
dinner to get at the dinner tableinstead of going everybody go they they play
and everybody go to their room,send down, having these dinners, have
these dinners together. You know,we have got way where so when say
divide and conquer, you know it'slike the ever wants to us to be
divided and conquered so bad, andit does happen, but just really coming
(24:40):
together, have these conversations, brainfall, delivery, brainfaw, breakthrough and not
to be afraid. And you saidit make a safe place. Let's talk
about that. The trusts. Individualshaving a hard time trust the other individual
with their deep dark secrets that haveis the thing they're dealing with, is
(25:03):
okay, I'll open up to you. Could you hope for that? Or
if something go wrong and you noticewhat individuals are mad at other individuals,
they go and paster their personal businessall over social media. So now it's
like people are having a hard timetrusted individuals because if we don't, if
we have a fallen out or wemay go out some ways, what to
(25:25):
stay between us or we just gobecause people did that on time, that
go and blast other people for someI don't know why, but you just
can't do that. Yeah, Iguess that's just that individual's character. You
know, you could show me onetime that I can't trust you when I
fall back. You know, that'sjust that's just how I am. I
(25:48):
have. We all all grow individuals. So what you've done, what you've
told me shouldn't go anywhere. Idon't. I don't have it. You
know, I wish you the best, but you know that's just some people
racles, you know, right.Yeah, So that and that's what and
that's what it's all about. ButI'm glad that we are talking about I
say that, I say we arenow addressing the elephant in the room.
When I said dress the elephant inthe room. We're gonna talking about a
(26:10):
lot of things now. And Iremember I had a coup on the show
like about a year ago, ayear and a half ago, and before
they got together, they had theyput everything out on the table. They
had like that uncomfortable conversations before gettingtogether. And that's another thing too.
Before we get with anybody, wedon't we don't have these conversations. We
(26:32):
had a man son, we'll saythe right things, we do the right
thing, walk this sway walk andthen when we get into it with it,
well, once we make that commitmentto the individual, that's when the
real them come out. And thenthe other thing, person, why you
signed off all that? Why youdidn't tim all this and all this other
stuff Because of not having these conversationwe did get colored. Oh the physical
(26:56):
aspect of the individual, but knowingthey are dealing with something behind the scenes
and being at Drecy's things. Talkabout these things, you know, because
this stuff is real. You know, ladies and gentlemen, we can't play.
It's a lot of serious stuff goingon out here in this world.
It's people who are exposed to alot of things. Yeah. So it's
(27:22):
like we are in especially word ofsocial media, because the ain't a boy
with our children. They are supposedto a lot of things when are doing
our children are dealing with things thatwe didn't have to deal with, you
know, they're dealing with a lot. Yeah, and it's some real stuff
about the nikki when it comes likeLETTRN, like video games, you know
(27:45):
you have pedophiles or that just bereal. You have pedophiles out there who
will disguise itself as children just toget your son and your daughter. Yeah,
if our household, we experience thaton roadblocks. So parents, grandparents,
(28:06):
uncles, ain't ties, y'all needto watch our youth on these game
systems because it's it's just real.We had an incident where someone was talking
to my child on roadblocks, andyou know, she thought it was some
youth and when I did my investigation, it was a thrown person. So
they're getting our children in each andevery way, and so we have to
(28:26):
really be careful and watch and monitorthem phones, them games and things like
that. Yeah, because it's someweird stuff going out here, and you
gotta be careful. You got tobe careful because you have people disguising themselves
as youth to get your child,So be careful out there. Also,
(28:48):
you know what I'm saying, eventhough your child living at home with you
closing the door, you know,a child shouldn't close their door in away.
That's your house. You know,they get older, they do it,
they want to do it at theirhouse, but when they're your establishment,
it's all by buying by your rulesand stuff like that, and other.
The thing that also, Nikki isour children want to be to come
(29:10):
talk their parents like anything, youknow, stuff just fussing at them because
we have parents who just hoopinghigher attheir kids. Just put that question so
that shuts them down where they're goget their own device from outside of what
you want to say about that.That is absolutely correct. Running a youth
program, we hear that a lot. We hear that a lot, so
(29:32):
as adults, we do have tokind of you know, we're telling our
youth that they can come talk tous anytime, you know, let us
know, but we're always you know, nah, that ain't happen or that
ain't you know, we all sometimeswe have to just listen, listen,
listen to what they're saying, andthen you come back and you can say
(29:55):
something. But we have to startlistening because a lot of times again they
don't want to talk to is becausewe're doing all that framing and yelling,
or even sometimes we might be onour cell phones, we might not be
available. So we have to startbeing available so that they can talk to
us. Have that open door policy. One of my kids, she doesn't
like to verbally say something, sowe have a cold so when she does
(30:18):
that, I know what time itis, you know, have a cold,
have a system for your child,just creating that safe face if they
have to write it down to giveyou. You know, it is very
important that we create safe places forour youth. It it really is they're
dealing with. We have suicidal youknow, we found out through our youth
(30:41):
program that one of our girls wassuicidal. You know the pressure of you
know, mom always being at work, and I was one of them moms
that was always at work, youknow, putting pressure. Sometimes we put
too much pressure on our youth andwe're not thinking you're not We're not realizing
that, you know, and sowe just we our youth again are really
you know, so pay ar yourattention, take those take that take that
(31:03):
time off to get off the phones, get off work earlier if you can,
you know, great time for them. So on how our whole So
what we do is we have familyday, but and then we also then
I also take each individual day form, you know, for that one child
to spend their quality time right causeyou know it's not going on when it
comes to sick. Let's just beout there when it comes to six,
(31:26):
you know, that stuff goes on. You know, they get these habits
from outside individuals where having these conversations, like you said, have these conversations
where they say back in the day, the birds and the bees, you
know, but they have these conversationswith your ti. Good parents, you
are repaying your children for life.It's not the school they think. It's
(31:49):
No, it's not the school job. It's cool without education, But when
it comes to life, the parentshave to prepare them for life. Prepare
them it comes to making decisions,prepare them on what to do, when
not to do, how to addressthen how to apply things on on and
on a regular basis. And that'swhat it's all about. So I'm glad

and walking this way. Impact waspodcast bit shots to Gabri Willer outside of
Atlanta, Hot Atlanta. They saybig like I said, great guy,
great individual, add on the showbefore and great friend. I want to
(35:28):
say he hits submitted that videos acouple months ago. So it's all about
working with them, right, It'sall about changing that mindset, and that's
what we have to do. Wehave to change the mindset, ladies and
gentlemen. It's not about the outof hearing. You can buy the new
clothes, about the this and that, the outer and stuff, but if
then, if the inner man orthat inner woman has not changed, you're
(35:52):
just gonna get the same results justin new clothes. You know, you
just said you can't put old winein new wines and can't put old wine
new wine skin. It's gonna work. You gotta realized that old mindset and
new can it cannot cause this.No, So it's all about growing,
developing and like you mentioned earlier ofNikki getting out that comes out. Let
(36:15):
me ask you what are your whatphilosophies do you apply on a regular basis
when it comes to maintaining success,when it comes to closing deals and just
being a woman of excellence and beinga woman of activity. I would say
(36:37):
number one is just being myself,being transparent, being transparent, being myself,
showing up. I'm just being obedientto what God called me to be
to be, and so I'm walkingand I'm walking in purpose, you know.
And I just always believe that it'sall about having a life that you
(37:00):
want to live. We are createdbeings, you know. The Bible said
that God created the heavis and earth, he created. Put everything in perspective.
We are created being. We can'tcreate. We create with our thoughts.
We create with our words, youknow. Deafinite life is the power
of the tongue. Say you speakspeaking of eat the fruit the So it's
all by speaking life. Having visionsstripped to say without a vision. The
(37:23):
people Paris and I hear a lotof time, Nikki. People all have
a vision. I have a visionfor a ministry, I have a vision
for a business. But what abouthaving a vision for the family, you
know, charity to start at homethen spread abroad. Getting that vision for
family, like you mentioned you have, you have family to get together,
but day set aside for family toget together. That's a vision of our
(37:46):
vision. Having it so my familycould be close knit, that we could
be a strong unit, that wecould be able to have each other back.
Now to that have each other's back, but hold each other accountable.
Inspire each other, motivate each other, and all the great stuff. Now
we've got time now where parents areteaching their children about entrepreneurship, teaching them
(38:10):
how to get out there and maketheir own money. Because I know back
in the day you wanted to makesome money. What you did, you
had a guy there that you're gonnaget a pick up a job, or
you got there with the guys whatthe voice to do got them cut grass.
That's the entrepreneurship because you're creating yourown income, you know. So
what about so part of their programwhile y'all teaching the children's will about entrepreneurship,
(38:35):
teaching them how to create job forthis said at a young age.
Yes, and so one of theprograms that will be launching it in their
future is and you just spoke onit. So you might have a father
and son cutting grass right already,they're cutting grass with a house, so
why not make that a business buildinggenerational wealth. So you might have a
(38:55):
mother and daughter already doing hair outsidethe home, right, so let's make
that a business. You know,if the daughter the sister already doing makeup,
let's make that a business. Sowe're all for teaching our children the
entrepreneur side, and we spoke aboutthe children already being on their cell phones
and you know, doing videos andjust being on the phones now, and
(39:22):
so why not teaching them how topodcast, teaching a real video poreographer or
you know what I'm saying, totake pictures and stuff like that and videos.
Let's make it a job, right, housekeeping, you know, that's
now, that's yeah, whatever yourgift is. If you like to cook,
if you're in there baking, cookingfor the family, let's make that
(39:44):
a business. I'm all for it. Yeah, cause I remember when I
was in school, they were teachingus how to do it like okay,
like trade school. You know theywere teaching wasn't trade. It's good about
plumbing mechanics. Yeah, you don'tunderstand man essentially for the fellas guys you
know, get a trade, butI just get a trade. When you
get a trade, you going businessfor yourself. Yeah, because I remember
(40:08):
this guy back at home. Hewas a mechanic. He worked for mechanics
job, but he also had thebusiness on the drive too. Do you
made great money in mechanics. Wehad a matter for we had a mechanic,
We had a big shot to Herbert, he was a mechanic, young
man. He's he was a moldmechanic and he would go and work on
people cars. Now that this youngman not just working in the DFW,
(40:32):
but he had this young man hadclients in LA and they just fly this
young man out just to work ontheir vehicle, even though they were just
clients here. He did a goodjob that they'll fly him out. And
this is the true door. Theywill fly him out to California just to
work on their vehicle and get paidgood and took care of the room and
(40:52):
board and everything. You gotta becreating, ladies and gentleman. Don't.
I'm gonna tell y'all there that's listening, night don't don't. Don't kill your
dreaming just because you may be experiencedin a setback or hang up. Don't
kill your dream. All one canstop your dream is you, Nobody is
not nobody else. Don't blame thisperson, this individual. Don't kill your
(41:17):
dream. All things are possible.The Bible says that with God, all
things are possible. So I justwant to tell those on here that's listen
to us to night, Nikki,don't kill your dream. Don't give up
before you get you right at thatpoint. Don't give up just because it
seemed like nobody may not be responding, or they may not be sharing anything
(41:38):
or THEMN don't give up. Rememberthat is that does not just just because
you may not get that selle oryou may not get that promotion, whatever
you want to call it. That'sanother that I find you that just a
that's just an I do. It'snot how I am. You gotta tell
yourself. I am, I amwealthy, I am a genius, I
(42:02):
am smart. Jay Z said theGrammys. Just keep showing up. That's
all. That's all you gotta do, is keep showing up. And on
the entrepreneur side and just on theprofessional side personal side, we have to
start getting into them with personal andpersonal and professional development. Start you know,
(42:23):
doing workshops, Start being in thoseconferences again, being in a room
with the right people. That isgoing to also help, right, you
know, and also the little thingstoo, ladies and gentlemen, homewise nigga
people to get about that too.If you if you never made your bed
of start somewhere, let's start getup, make your bed up. I'm
(42:45):
gonna get up and going. I'mjust throwing some about that, nigga.
A little simple things like preparing yourself, being organized, being structured. I
remember back when I was in school, my mom what you teach Well,
we got to do your own uniforms, but she would teach us how to
do it on this vision on Sunday, iron I closed for the week.
(43:07):
That preparing us before to see thatwas teaching us how to meet everything before
the day night structure. You knowwhat I'm saying, start somewhere, look
at you know you'd be working onbeing more organized. Go ahead, I
tell people to I challenge you todo something for ninety straight days and then
(43:27):
you get it. It becomes vyif you yeah, yeah, like you're
said, showing up, training yourself, being consistent for ninety days, whatever
that is, whatever that ninety dayslook like to you. So it might
not be every day for ninety days, but it might be once a week
for ninety days. This is whatI'm going to do. And if you
do it, you are already You'rethere. You got it right, and
(43:49):
also doing the follow up. Youknow, if you being being a men,
a man woman, your word,what I apply is what I do
now, Nikki, I put theschedule together on how I want my day.
The barble tells us to do bya day with wisdom. It's okay
to know your days. So I'llplay my day. I got the Google
(44:10):
candar. If you got a mentalcalendar, use your mental calender something.
You have to write this stuff thatI ain't gona like to write my stuff
down, but it's but it's it'sit's training me. Because I'm training myself.
I'm being in control so I won'tget control because you a lot other
things. You're a lot outside thingsto control you. Yeah, so you
(44:30):
want to be able to control yourselfbecause you got a thing about you have
to destroy your ego. Your egogonna tell you, Oh we could do
it tomorrow, Oh we could doit later. Oh I'm tired. You
know. That's the ego talk thinkingabout it. The flesh cries out when
it's hungry. The fletch cries outwhen it's when it's tied. The tripper
(44:51):
tells us that the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. So
you have to get out your comfortzone. Like you mentioned, it's the
time where I don't feel like puttingtogether at the show. Any times when
I don't when I don't feel likedesign a flyer or booking a client to
come onto the show. That's gettingout my way. That's I don't base
(45:14):
stuff off your emotions, Joe don'twant to say, cause we based stuff
off emotions, we'll never get anythingdone. Or I'm feeling the day,
so I'm gonna do it today,but then tomorrow I ain't feeling it.
I ain't doing it. I'm notfeeling today. Get done. I say,
no excuses, you know, butit's okay to take us take a
self care and mental day off.But it's no excuses. There are no
(45:36):
excuses why you can't get it down. You just don't want to get it
down well because yeah, at theend of the day, Nikki, because
when you're working for yourself, yougotta realize you have to cut your own
income. If you don't understand that, you know, because you have to
care out, they cret your ownincome. It's not like you work for
(45:57):
somebody else where you're guaranteed to geta face from the word. But now
you have to create your own check. What if ice think we give to
someone who's starting out where they feellike they realized it was just too on
what advice will you give them onhow to be better prepare because the trip
details of my people to struggle lackof knowledge that they rejected. Find your
(46:22):
find your niche, find your zonne, find your lane and stay in it
and just keep going. Don't youknow what I'm saying. If you go
to the bread owl, I'd liketo use that excuse on the bread out.
You know, don't get discouraged frombecause somebody else is doing the same
thing, or they might be furtherin the entrepreneurship journey. But how many
(46:42):
breads do they have on a breadout? And everyone doesn't like the same
bread, So they're gonna just keepgoing, you know, find your niche
and just keep going. If yourspiritual pray over it, is it that,
if that's what God is calling youto do, it's gonna happen.
Yeah, it is. You know, Jeffica. We have like burger places.
We have a lot of different burgerplaces. You have McDonald's, you
(47:05):
got bird King, you got waterin and out. But everybody has different
tastes even though they do the samething. But everybody does don't like the
same. But no, everybody don'tlike the same that you got Some people
who don't like them McDonald's, butthey prefer bird King. You know what
I'm saying. Do that? Dothat put McDonalds out of bed in his
not you get because you got somepeople who like McDonalds. Use this analogy.
(47:30):
You know, like people have differenttastes, so it's good that we
have a different variety of everything thatpeople can pick from. It doesn't say
that you're a bad person or youfeel less of indivision now because everybody has
different tastes because they like Matt,they like bird King. You got this
(47:52):
group like McDonald's. So that's notshutting macdona's town. But McDonald's still open
bird King still. Oh well,I'm just using these analogies, but all
these things are still going on.The dead. Everybody had different tastes for
something, so that's good. Wegot these different we have these different variety
(48:16):
of things to better choose from it. They just don't shut nobody down.
And that's a good deal about it. So I know, he prays for
time, son, Where are yourgoal for the rest of twenty twenty four?
Just keep making an impact in ourcommunity, keep bringing awareness again,
just impacting the BFW area. Andthat's what it's all right there. So
(48:40):
do you have any final marks.I don't want to hold you your very
but deptive woman. And they gotsome things got done at the time.
The game, don't stop the business, don't stop that part. So what
words of advice, what sounds ofwisdom? They will leave here with the
listening audience that's listened to us rightnow. That's what live streaming and also
(49:00):
go back lists to us in thenear future. I would say, being
a founder of a nonprofit organization,I would challenge you to connect with a
nonprofit in your area and ask howyou can make an impact. Being a
founder of an executive director, it'sa lot of work. We need the
(49:21):
community's help. So find I'll justchallenge you. I challenge you to connect
with a nonprofit. And a lotof times it might not just beat you
know, money, you could volunteer, you can, you can do fundraising
for them, you can. It'sa lot of things that a nonprofit organization
can use support. And so Ijust challenge all the listeners, all the
(49:42):
rogers, to get connected to anonprofit organization and ask how you can help.

Valentine's Day? What what? Whatwords of encouragement can you give an individual
who may be gonna, may befeeling down because they don't have a significant
other to share Valentine's with. Imean, you don't even love yourself,
because you know I love you.I definitely love yourself. If you're a

how are you doing it? I'mdoing pretty good. I want to thank
you for sharing your platform, thankyou for having me on your platform.
Thank you for all you do inthe community. Hey, I appreciate it.
I love it here. I meanI made three years back in December
(01:26):
Decero eighteen eighty three years has beena very pleasure moment, a ride and
adventure. And we know that thestory has not done yet, and this
is another chapter for us all.And I thank you for the work that
you're doing consistent on basis of alltime. I see you on social media,
never drifting the left nor the right. You're focus on your goal and
(01:48):
you're focus on your assignment. Youfocus on your venture. And I thought
you actually was a Texas native.Then I realize you're from Minneapolis and you
transit. You're here to the dfdove back in twenty sixteen and there since
Ninka bit Renna since then. Sogive us a recap, give us,
give us all the good good stuffabout who is Nikki Jackson, the girl
(02:09):
from Minnesota now way down in thesouth in Texas, and and just really
make it a Mark here at dfDEB. Yes. So, my name
is Nikki. I'm originally from Illinois, but I grew up in Minnesota.
I'm a mother of five children,three boys and two girls, and three
(02:30):
grandchildren. I relocated to so beforethe prior to us moving to the DFW
area, I used to come visit, so I got I got a fun
of the South, and y'all wonme over. Obviously the hot weather Minnesota
is very cold, the people herewas friendlier. I did not know that
(02:54):
that we will be moving here.So twenty sixteen we moved here and the
transition wasn't easy at all because Ileft my grandchildren and my two oldest ones.
But I knew that I felt likeI wasn't growing as a person.
A lot of times we get caughtup in our comfort zone where we're from,
who we're familiar with, you know, family friends. I was just
(03:17):
too comfortable, and so I hadto get from uncomfortable. I didn't even
know I was going to be abusiness owner. I never thought about being
a business owner. I never thoughtabout being an entrepreneur period. And so
us relocating this is where the foundation, a stronger foundation was built for me
and my family and that's awesome stuffand also one of your big shot to
(03:42):
an open meal face Nancy c Outof Miami, Florida. Thank you Nance
for tuning in as well. Matterof fact, Nancy was me and her
used to coach. We used todo a show together called fight Club back
in the early two thousand, midtwo thousand. Thank her for tuning in
and watching as well. Much loveto you, Nancy all the way in
Miami. So I noticed that alot of people Nikki made a transition here.
(04:09):
I was one of those who madea transition here, like I said,
originally from Alabama, transition here intwenty twenty during the burning pandemic,
and a lot of people have madetheir way down here in Dallas Fort Worth
testionment. Pardon the area. Iknow you hear a lot of times people
used to say the cost of living, the cost of living me personally is
not that expensive here. They don'tpay those state tasks. Here in Alabama
(04:32):
you pay state and federal. Hereyou just pay federal, but you don't
pay there's no state tax here.You know, a lot of people had
transition from all over the region andreally set foot here. And I see
it's a lot of networking. It'sa lot of people who are go getters,
who are grinders. And somebody madea post about the DFW how it's
(04:55):
a booming economic system, and Iknow you are a part of that system.
How has it been for you justthe business that the network, in
the clientele, So how has allthat been going for you? That has
been very good for me. Iput myself out there just to get in
(05:15):
the right rooms. You know,you have to again, you got to
get out your conference zone. Youhave to meet different people. You have
to be open minded. And ifyou're a business owner, that's one of
the requirements for you to be ableto level up, you know, to
get to the next level. Isthat networking part? A lot of times
I like to say, the thingsthat we've been through, someone needs to
(05:36):
hear our story, you know,somebody needs to hear our story. We're
all here to empower each other.And so networking has got me in.
I've got it in many rooms.Within networking built relationships. I know me
and you have been you know,in a couple of years ago, we
was you know, in a ina in the same area you know that
(05:58):
aroundtown Dallas, and then Nick areWe're circling around now you know, so
it's just a circle. When youget to networking, is you get to
circle around with you know different equalYeah, And it's so much stuff here
that you just learn stuff edge go. You learn stuff every day and like
you mentioned, getting out that networkingand a lot of individual have to understand
(06:19):
that you just can't be stuck tothe computer twenty four seven. You have
to get out out. I mean, like you said, you got the
comfort zone. Always go on Google, Google stuff. Somebody always got something
going on somewhere. And like yousaid, it's presenting yourselfl for the right
people. Mean would you say knowinghow to say it? Your confidence has
(06:42):
got be on point, your actte got be on point, and having
all your dusts in a row.And as you being an entrepreneur yourself,
what are your pet PE's nikki whenit comes to interacting or individual who wants
to do business with you actually oneof a couple of my big pack Jesus,
I have to learn that everyone doesn'thave the same work ecthics on myself.
(07:08):
So again, like you just stated, you know, mean what you
say, and say what you mean, or you're gonna say you know what
I'm saying, if we're gonna dothis, we're gonna partner, We're gonna
do whatever you're gonna do this,then show up a lot of But I
found out a lot of people can'tshow up for themselves, So how can
I expect them to show up forme? And we have to you know
what I'm saying. So you haveto look at it like that too.
(07:29):
If somebody's not showing up for themselves, how can you expect them to show
up for you? Right, itmade sense when you're saying, here,
everything start with self first. Andlike you said, if they don't show
up for themselves, how can theyshow up for you? You know,
the individual always showing up late,always main excuses. That's what they're doing
their own life. They're always showingup like they're always making excuses. But
(07:53):
then the same time they want tobe taken seriously. And I had a
conversation on with with the individual ofmy job last year and we had to
come small conversation. I say,what it is now? I know it's
now. Back in the day,I mean, you still got go getters,
but now when the generation now whereyou get a lot of murmuring and
(08:16):
complaining a lot. Yeah, uh, it don't know work. And when
it comes to working, it's likethey want this, they want the success,
but then they want to come atthey want to become at the same
time. And when you getting outhere, it takes work and it gets
so called up in a glitzy glamorinstagrat location. But when it comes to
work, Nikki, I see alot of individuals see it here, a
(08:39):
lot of individual always murmuring and complaining. What is your opinion you want to
sell on? That opinion is youhave to be consistent in anything you do.
That's one of the reasons that Ihave become again, I'm not where
I want to be, but Ihave become successful in the networking game.
Is you know what I'm saying andwhere I am today in the business,
(09:01):
in my business, it is becauseI'm being consistent again showing up for myself,
branding, networking just again, atthe end of the day, is
showing up for myself. You know, you might have an event where ifty
I might not want to go,but being in them rooms is going to
get me where I need to beat. So being consistent, you know,
(09:24):
is just key. Being consistent andif you have a business, you
have to You definitely have to postevery day. You have to tell people
what you because somebody, everybody onour social media pages know what we you
know what we have going on,but other people might not, you know,
like you're saying, putting yourself onGoogle, going to networking events,
passing out your business cards, actuallybranding yourself. I have my brand's shirt
(09:48):
eye, you know, branding yourself. Just getting out there and putting yourself
out there, you know. Butit came easy to me because my work
ethnics working for somebody else in ninefive, I was one of them coworkers
that didn't employees that didn't call off. I picked up extra shits. I
remember a point a time where Ihad one hundred and twenty hours in one
(10:09):
week. That was the type ofemployee I was. So when I became
an entrepreneur, it was easy.You know, it was easy. My
work accent is what it is,right and making that transition because I'm gay.
Jed brought that up. I alsowant to be a big shot.
To delp Missus Foster miss false inthe bill. I had her in the
podcast by two years prior I hadon the podcast, so be shot there
(10:33):
watching also be shot to also latter, I have come on the show soon.
Her name is a Shanty Clifford outof my homes of Alabama. She's
watching said good evening, so beshot there. I never want to get
the individuals who are tuning in onthe regular basis and who watched every week.
I don't want to forget y'all.I'm the one I realized that,
(10:54):
Jeff, you're in the business world, always acknowledge your client, Always acknowledge
your your your public audit, yourvideo audi or if you're an audience.
But these are the ones who payyour bills at the end of the day,
so you don't want to forget aboutthem. Tying knowledge everyone who's tuning
in, and of course also peopleask a lot of questions too now on
the show. So if you haveany questions, any statements that you want
(11:15):
to share, feel free go ahead. That's what it's all about here on
the show. It's all about allof us, not just about one individual,
but about all of us. Ironshopping, iron growing together and stuff
like that. And you mentioned youknow when you work for the corporation,
when you work for someone else,and how you pay that work out there
a lot of individuals. I ain'ta lot of individual I would say,
(11:37):
well, you know, I try. I just ain't meant to work for
anybody. But you got to realizewhen you're working a nine to five or
twelve or twelve, it's a learningexperience. You learn about the rules,
you learn, you learn, youlearn about the barlows, you learn about
to scaredule, You'll learn about therequirements, how to go by hiring people,
(12:01):
having applications. All that stuff playsrole for an entrepreneurship of nick in
my opinion. So when you gothrough that that phase or work for someone,
you do that as a learning experience, and that also treats you how
you don't want to treat your employeesright. And then also the structure,
(12:22):
because yeah, well sometimes that's anotherbroadcast, but on a positive note,
structure, you know what I'm saying. And also you gotta realize too showing
up if you are a business ownedand you you was employees, ain'tbody you
was a ployee for he was abusiness business owner, y'all? Thinking about
Okay, when they posit you withthe scheduled, you made a commitment to
(12:45):
commit to that schedule. You knowwhat I'm saying. So it's like,
Okay, I don't want to Idon't want to buy calling out on me.
I don't want nobody quitting on me. So I gotta make sure I'm
swing no good seeds. That makessense. So if I'm so any good
seeds, I'm gonna reap that heartharvest in return because I sold them good
seasons someone else as well also,And I just look at that, Nikki.
(13:07):
It's all about being a student,your suitor of the game. And
we're constantly and evolving each and nevermoment because every time we do a product
or every time we make a sellwhat we do, we want to get
better. Okay, y'all need toget on this one, but I want
to take up another level because it'sall about challenging yourself on growing, involving,
like you said, getting out yourcomfort zone. And that's a great
(13:28):
thing about it as well. Also, and I know you got a lot
of great events coming up and swellin the DFDV elaborate on the upcoming events
you have going You got you gota quite amazing panel of individuals who I
know person that's going to be apart of it, So elaborate on the
upcoming events you have coming up it'sthis month, right you gotta yeah,
(13:50):
we have won this coming up Saturday. And so with our nonprofit organization,
Just the Queen Will Goals and parnWomen, we are located in the DFW
area, service the whole d FWarea. And what we do we bring
community events and educational workshops and sobring it, I say, like we
like to bring awareness, accountability andinter healing and so so for each month
(14:18):
our events are different. So likefor this past just coming up Saturday,
we're having a just Loving Meat Branchand what we're gonna do. What we're
doing is bringing awareness about self care, self love, and boundaries. You
know, because a lot of thatOkay, it's Valentine's Day, it's love,
you know, lovering ourselfs. Sowhat does that mean to you?
Because loving, self love, selfcare, and boundaries look different to everyone.
(14:41):
You know, some people don't evenknow about self love. Some people
don't love themselves, some people don'thave issues with boundaries. And so what
we do we bring the expert speakersin to pour into the community. Next
month, we'll be doing a motherson dance and a mother daughter dands and
so we put no age restriction becauseat the end of the day, you're
(15:03):
your mother's son forever, you knowwhat I'm saying, forever, And so
we did that last year. Sothis year would be our second annual.
March eighth is our Mother's Son Danceand again we'll have speakers, DJ's photos
and that's to create memories. SoI like to tell people my oldest are
twenty nine and thirty, and theydon't talk about the game systems I bought
(15:24):
them in the Jordan's They talk aboutthe quality time that we spend. March
twenty third would be our Mother DaughterDance and again just building relationships, how
the relationship looks like from mother anddaughter coart, you know, as priceless
memories. You're always going to beyour mother's first, you know what I'm
saying, your mother's daughter and viceversa. And what we found out last
(15:46):
year it was three generations. Sothe mother brought her daughter and then her
mother came okay, So that's youknow, that's three generations, and then
the mother's son. The mother broughther son, and then her husband brought
his mother okay, And that's againcreating those memories. We do education workshop
(16:10):
we also do educational workshop. Weare an advocate for mental health awareness.
Our children are telling us what theyneed in their own ways, and so
I'd like to tell parents or anyonethat has a youth in their you know,
anybody that has youth, let's putour cell phones down. Let's put
(16:30):
our have them put their down,and start having these uncomfortable conversations because a
lot of times when you at youryouth, how are you doing? They
got the head down, I'm okay, but we know that every day is
not an okay day for us,right right, So we need to put
the phones down and start having thoseuncomfortable conversations, you know, right most
(16:52):
definitely aren't gonna get big shots tomister you to come in session and sway,
he's in the conversation, my peepshop, Miss you, keep with
the great work. A little muchlove to you. My brother keep striving
each and ever they keep so fishout to missing you because he is making
Noah here in dl W himself,and I know he's part of the being
(17:14):
that you got going on as well. Also I know he's very excited about
that. So miss you just watchit. So we're gonna take out We're
gonna go into our first commercial breakand we're gonna jump right back into our
conversation just a Queen Will Goals featuredNikki Jackson. So where we may be
washing that ladies and John Putt hashtagjust a Queen will Goals and let us
(17:36):
know where you're watching us from andwhen we big shut out and we get
back in. So we're gonna tunein to our first Mercier breaking. After
that, we'll be right back withour Q and a conversation. Terror County
just spend eighteen million on what girl? They just spent eighteen million dollars sending
(17:57):
inmates to Guards County because all fourof our jails are filled here and I
know it's because these courts are backedup. This is a problem. But
Mark, I know you can helpfix this. Okay, I know what
I need to do. I'm MarkClayton, Judicial candidate for Terran County Criminal
(18:48):
District Court. Too. I promiseto continue serving and protecting the citizens of
Tarrant County by following the law,upholding our constitution, ensuring fair and equitable
senency rually, firmly, but withcompassion. I need you to make your
mark in twenty twenty four. Runto the polls and vote for me,
because your life depends on it.Hey, it was up there. I
(19:17):
was back here on the Walking theWaves Impact Boy was podcast and I said,
we thank everybody for tuning in.Mister you said it, come in,
said but just love firm and Nikkilove y'all love you back. It's
well, my brother, great word. So we're back here. Yeah.
Probably interesting point, nik about thecomings having conversation, which is very important
because we in the world now wheresocial media has to I won't blame social
(19:45):
media, but how individuals handle socialmedia. We're we're so distracted by the
trund of devices where if you goout today, people don't even have come
and say and no more. They'reso busy glue into their phone and and
just annoying the person they're with.Compared to back then, with pre cell
(20:11):
phones and Facebook and Instagram, wedidn't have none of that stuff. You
just had good old fashioned conversation.So I'm glad you brought that up.
Getting back to the basis, goingback to that landmark of having conversations where
a lot of time individual are dealingwith a lot of things, question,
a lot of things on a regularbasis where that that I originated from is
(20:34):
have these conversations, have you healthyconversations, have you uncomfortable conversations, because
I'm going beautiful for a moment.The Bible said Adam and Eve were naked
and they was not a shame.In other words, they they didn't have
anything to hide even if it wasnaked. Fifthly, but if you look
at perspiracy, that's how God wantsto be. God wants us to be
(20:55):
naked and not a shame, notin badge to have these conversations where it's
all about having a breakthrough, Nikki, because I had a conversation with someone
on yesterday and I've never been toan AA meeting, but I know in
AA they teaches you to mint thatyou have a problem, right, and
(21:15):
that's how we gonna get our breakthroughonce we admit that we have an issue.
So we better talk about these issues. And a lot of time,
Nikki, people are feeling get thatjudgmental mindset where I'm going through this or
I may experience this, but Idon't want to be judged. How can
(21:37):
we get past that judgmental because it'sall about having a breakthrough. The strip
said whom the son said, freeis free indeed. So it's all about
having a breakthrough. So what youwant to say about that? So,
yeah, it's time to start havingthose creating safe places, you know,
just create those safe places where yourchildren being transparent. I know in my
(22:00):
household when I was younger, mymother was very transparent about what she went
through in her life, and sothat caused me to do the same because
a lot of times, when you'rea parent, your children are on your
journey too. So yet we're theparents have trauma, but then also the
kids they go through everything that we'regoing through, right, But a lot
(22:23):
of you know, in the backof the days, what went on in
the household, you don't talk about, you know, the crazy ain'ty that
crazy uncle, But they had theyhad issues that they never got resolved.
So that's why they became So itwas a label, you know, the
label was they're crazy, but actuallythey wasn't. They just hadn't been able
to heal from their traumas. Sowhat I had to do once I started
(22:45):
hit them from my traumas is Ihave to pull my kids back and listen
to their stuff, listen to theirstories because they have stories through that I
didn't even know. And that's howthe healing process. We can stop it
going from generation to generation. Isto have safe for our youth and adults.
When we do these workshops, whenwe do these events, it's to
(23:07):
bring awareness, to say, tolet your children know what you've been going
through. I went to last year, I went to any a conference,
a woman's conference, and I wassitting next to this eighty year old lady
eighty who had not had a chanceto heal from her traumas eighty and she
(23:30):
just so could you imagine not hill. I couldn't even imagine holding on from
trauma stuff or things that happened inmy path and not here. You can't
flourish to be who you called tobe because you have all that trauma.
And so we need to start creatingsafe places for our families to heal.
Children, mother, father, eighties, uncles, everyone needs to heal,
(23:52):
you know. And it's it's awhole picture. So it's not just you
know, the mother heells and thenthe kids are here. Everyone needs to
heal. So we need to startcreating those safe places. Right you start
bringing board games, man, myfamily, we sit down, no phones,
we start playing board games, playboard games, you know, taking
walks, just creating again that safeplace, right, you know, having
(24:17):
dinner to get at the dinner tableinstead of going everybody go they they play
and everybody go to their room,send down, having these dinners, have
these dinners together. You know,we have got way where so when say
divide and conquer, you know it'slike the ever wants to us to be
divided and conquered so bad, andit does happen, but just really coming
(24:40):
together, have these conversations, brainfall, delivery, brainfaw, breakthrough and not
to be afraid. And you saidit make a safe place. Let's talk
about that. The trusts. Individualshaving a hard time trust the other individual
with their deep dark secrets that haveis the thing they're dealing with, is
(25:03):
okay, I'll open up to you. Could you hope for that? Or
if something go wrong and you noticewhat individuals are mad at other individuals,
they go and paster their personal businessall over social media. So now it's
like people are having a hard timetrusted individuals because if we don't, if
we have a fallen out or wemay go out some ways, what to
(25:25):
stay between us or we just gobecause people did that on time, that
go and blast other people for someI don't know why, but you just
can't do that. Yeah, Iguess that's just that individual's character. You
know, you could show me onetime that I can't trust you when I
fall back. You know, that'sjust that's just how I am. I
(25:48):
have. We all all grow individuals. So what you've done, what you've
told me shouldn't go anywhere. Idon't. I don't have it. You
know, I wish you the best, but you know that's just some people
racles, you know, right.Yeah, So that and that's what and
that's what it's all about. ButI'm glad that we are talking about I
say that, I say we arenow addressing the elephant in the room.
When I said dress the elephant inthe room. We're gonna talking about a
(26:10):
lot of things now. And Iremember I had a coup on the show
like about a year ago, ayear and a half ago, and before
they got together, they had theyput everything out on the table. They
had like that uncomfortable conversations before gettingtogether. And that's another thing too.
Before we get with anybody, wedon't we don't have these conversations. We
(26:32):
had a man son, we'll saythe right things, we do the right
thing, walk this sway walk andthen when we get into it with it,
well, once we make that commitmentto the individual, that's when the
real them come out. And thenthe other thing, person, why you
signed off all that? Why youdidn't tim all this and all this other
stuff Because of not having these conversationwe did get colored. Oh the physical
(26:56):
aspect of the individual, but knowingthey are dealing with something behind the scenes
and being at Drecy's things. Talkabout these things, you know, because
this stuff is real. You know, ladies and gentlemen, we can't play.
It's a lot of serious stuff goingon out here in this world.
It's people who are exposed to alot of things. Yeah. So it's
(27:22):
like we are in especially word ofsocial media, because the ain't a boy
with our children. They are supposedto a lot of things when are doing
our children are dealing with things thatwe didn't have to deal with, you
know, they're dealing with a lot. Yeah, and it's some real stuff
about the nikki when it comes likeLETTRN, like video games, you know
(27:45):
you have pedophiles or that just bereal. You have pedophiles out there who
will disguise itself as children just toget your son and your daughter. Yeah,
if our household, we experience thaton roadblocks. So parents, grandparents,
(28:06):
uncles, ain't ties, y'all needto watch our youth on these game
systems because it's it's just real.We had an incident where someone was talking
to my child on roadblocks, andyou know, she thought it was some
youth and when I did my investigation, it was a thrown person. So
they're getting our children in each andevery way, and so we have to
(28:26):
really be careful and watch and monitorthem phones, them games and things like
that. Yeah, because it's someweird stuff going out here, and you
gotta be careful. You got tobe careful because you have people disguising themselves
as youth to get your child,So be careful out there. Also,
(28:48):
you know what I'm saying, eventhough your child living at home with you
closing the door, you know,a child shouldn't close their door in away.
That's your house. You know,they get older, they do it,
they want to do it at theirhouse, but when they're your establishment,
it's all by buying by your rulesand stuff like that, and other.
The thing that also, Nikki isour children want to be to come
(29:10):
talk their parents like anything, youknow, stuff just fussing at them because
we have parents who just hoopinghigher attheir kids. Just put that question so
that shuts them down where they're goget their own device from outside of what
you want to say about that.That is absolutely correct. Running a youth
program, we hear that a lot. We hear that a lot, so
(29:32):
as adults, we do have tokind of you know, we're telling our
youth that they can come talk tous anytime, you know, let us
know, but we're always you know, nah, that ain't happen or that
ain't you know, we all sometimeswe have to just listen, listen,
listen to what they're saying, andthen you come back and you can say
(29:55):
something. But we have to startlistening because a lot of times again they
don't want to talk to is becausewe're doing all that framing and yelling,
or even sometimes we might be onour cell phones, we might not be
available. So we have to startbeing available so that they can talk to
us. Have that open door policy. One of my kids, she doesn't
like to verbally say something, sowe have a cold so when she does
(30:18):
that, I know what time itis, you know, have a cold,
have a system for your child,just creating that safe face if they
have to write it down to giveyou. You know, it is very
important that we create safe places forour youth. It it really is they're
dealing with. We have suicidal youknow, we found out through our youth
(30:41):
program that one of our girls wassuicidal. You know the pressure of you
know, mom always being at work, and I was one of them moms
that was always at work, youknow, putting pressure. Sometimes we put
too much pressure on our youth andwe're not thinking you're not We're not realizing
that, you know, and sowe just we our youth again are really
you know, so pay ar yourattention, take those take that take that
(31:03):
time off to get off the phones, get off work earlier if you can,
you know, great time for them. So on how our whole So
what we do is we have familyday, but and then we also then
I also take each individual day form, you know, for that one child
to spend their quality time right causeyou know it's not going on when it
comes to sick. Let's just beout there when it comes to six,
(31:26):
you know, that stuff goes on. You know, they get these habits
from outside individuals where having these conversations, like you said, have these conversations
where they say back in the day, the birds and the bees, you
know, but they have these conversationswith your ti. Good parents, you
are repaying your children for life.It's not the school they think. It's
(31:49):
No, it's not the school job. It's cool without education, But when
it comes to life, the parentshave to prepare them for life. Prepare
them it comes to making decisions,prepare them on what to do, when
not to do, how to addressthen how to apply things on on and
on a regular basis. And that'swhat it's all about. So I'm glad
(32:13):
now that we are having these conversationswhere it causes us to room to grow.
It's caused us room to evolve andto get better as individuals, get
better as a community. And that'swhat it's all about. So they I'm
gonna fend up a conversation. Wewant to jump into another commercial that won't
jump right back into our Q anda conversation. Just live in the best

and walking this way. Impact waspodcast bit shots to Gabri Willer outside of
Atlanta, Hot Atlanta. They saybig like I said, great guy,
great individual, add on the showbefore and great friend. I want to
(35:28):
say he hits submitted that videos acouple months ago. So it's all about
working with them, right, It'sall about changing that mindset, and that's
what we have to do. Wehave to change the mindset, ladies and
gentlemen. It's not about the outof hearing. You can buy the new
clothes, about the this and that, the outer and stuff, but if
then, if the inner man orthat inner woman has not changed, you're
(35:52):
just gonna get the same results justin new clothes. You know, you
just said you can't put old winein new wines and can't put old wine
new wine skin. It's gonna work. You gotta realized that old mindset and
new can it cannot cause this.No, So it's all about growing,
developing and like you mentioned earlier ofNikki getting out that comes out. Let
(36:15):
me ask you what are your whatphilosophies do you apply on a regular basis
when it comes to maintaining success,when it comes to closing deals and just
being a woman of excellence and beinga woman of activity. I would say
(36:37):
number one is just being myself,being transparent, being transparent, being myself,
showing up. I'm just being obedientto what God called me to be
to be, and so I'm walkingand I'm walking in purpose, you know.
And I just always believe that it'sall about having a life that you
(37:00):
want to live. We are createdbeings, you know. The Bible said
that God created the heavis and earth, he created. Put everything in perspective.
We are created being. We can'tcreate. We create with our thoughts.
We create with our words, youknow. Deafinite life is the power
of the tongue. Say you speakspeaking of eat the fruit the So it's
all by speaking life. Having visionsstripped to say without a vision. The
(37:23):
people Paris and I hear a lotof time, Nikki. People all have
a vision. I have a visionfor a ministry, I have a vision
for a business. But what abouthaving a vision for the family, you
know, charity to start at homethen spread abroad. Getting that vision for
family, like you mentioned you have, you have family to get together,
but day set aside for family toget together. That's a vision of our
(37:46):
vision. Having it so my familycould be close knit, that we could
be a strong unit, that wecould be able to have each other back.
Now to that have each other's back, but hold each other accountable.
Inspire each other, motivate each other, and all the great stuff. Now
we've got time now where parents areteaching their children about entrepreneurship, teaching them
(38:10):
how to get out there and maketheir own money. Because I know back
in the day you wanted to makesome money. What you did, you
had a guy there that you're gonnaget a pick up a job, or
you got there with the guys whatthe voice to do got them cut grass.
That's the entrepreneurship because you're creating yourown income, you know. So
what about so part of their programwhile y'all teaching the children's will about entrepreneurship,
(38:35):
teaching them how to create job forthis said at a young age.
Yes, and so one of theprograms that will be launching it in their
future is and you just spoke onit. So you might have a father
and son cutting grass right already,they're cutting grass with a house, so
why not make that a business buildinggenerational wealth. So you might have a
(38:55):
mother and daughter already doing hair outsidethe home, right, so let's make
that a business. You know,if the daughter the sister already doing makeup,
let's make that a business. Sowe're all for teaching our children the
entrepreneur side, and we spoke aboutthe children already being on their cell phones
and you know, doing videos andjust being on the phones now, and
(39:22):
so why not teaching them how topodcast, teaching a real video poreographer or
you know what I'm saying, totake pictures and stuff like that and videos.
Let's make it a job, right, housekeeping, you know, that's
now, that's yeah, whatever yourgift is. If you like to cook,
if you're in there baking, cookingfor the family, let's make that
(39:44):
a business. I'm all for it. Yeah, cause I remember when I
was in school, they were teachingus how to do it like okay,
like trade school. You know theywere teaching wasn't trade. It's good about
plumbing mechanics. Yeah, you don'tunderstand man essentially for the fellas guys you
know, get a trade, butI just get a trade. When you
get a trade, you going businessfor yourself. Yeah, because I remember
(40:08):
this guy back at home. Hewas a mechanic. He worked for mechanics
job, but he also had thebusiness on the drive too. Do you
made great money in mechanics. Wehad a matter for we had a mechanic,
We had a big shot to Herbert, he was a mechanic, young
man. He's he was a moldmechanic and he would go and work on
people cars. Now that this youngman not just working in the DFW,
(40:32):
but he had this young man hadclients in LA and they just fly this
young man out just to work ontheir vehicle, even though they were just
clients here. He did a goodjob that they'll fly him out. And
this is the true door. Theywill fly him out to California just to
work on their vehicle and get paidgood and took care of the room and
(40:52):
board and everything. You gotta becreating, ladies and gentleman. Don't.
I'm gonna tell y'all there that's listening, night don't don't. Don't kill your
dreaming just because you may be experiencedin a setback or hang up. Don't
kill your dream. All one canstop your dream is you, Nobody is
not nobody else. Don't blame thisperson, this individual. Don't kill your
(41:17):
dream. All things are possible.The Bible says that with God, all
things are possible. So I justwant to tell those on here that's listen
to us to night, Nikki,don't kill your dream. Don't give up
before you get you right at thatpoint. Don't give up just because it
seemed like nobody may not be responding, or they may not be sharing anything
(41:38):
or THEMN don't give up. Rememberthat is that does not just just because
you may not get that selle oryou may not get that promotion, whatever
you want to call it. That'sanother that I find you that just a
that's just an I do. It'snot how I am. You gotta tell
yourself. I am, I amwealthy, I am a genius, I
(42:02):
am smart. Jay Z said theGrammys. Just keep showing up. That's
all. That's all you gotta do, is keep showing up. And on
the entrepreneur side and just on theprofessional side personal side, we have to
start getting into them with personal andpersonal and professional development. Start you know,
(42:23):
doing workshops, Start being in thoseconferences again, being in a room
with the right people. That isgoing to also help, right, you
know, and also the little thingstoo, ladies and gentlemen, homewise nigga
people to get about that too.If you if you never made your bed
of start somewhere, let's start getup, make your bed up. I'm
(42:45):
gonna get up and going. I'mjust throwing some about that, nigga.
A little simple things like preparing yourself, being organized, being structured. I
remember back when I was in school, my mom what you teach Well,
we got to do your own uniforms, but she would teach us how to
do it on this vision on Sunday, iron I closed for the week.
(43:07):
That preparing us before to see thatwas teaching us how to meet everything before
the day night structure. You knowwhat I'm saying, start somewhere, look
at you know you'd be working onbeing more organized. Go ahead, I
tell people to I challenge you todo something for ninety straight days and then
(43:27):
you get it. It becomes vyif you yeah, yeah, like you're
said, showing up, training yourself, being consistent for ninety days, whatever
that is, whatever that ninety dayslook like to you. So it might
not be every day for ninety days, but it might be once a week
for ninety days. This is whatI'm going to do. And if you
do it, you are already You'rethere. You got it right, and
(43:49):
also doing the follow up. Youknow, if you being being a men,
a man woman, your word,what I apply is what I do
now, Nikki, I put theschedule together on how I want my day.
The barble tells us to do bya day with wisdom. It's okay
to know your days. So I'llplay my day. I got the Google
(44:10):
candar. If you got a mentalcalendar, use your mental calender something.
You have to write this stuff thatI ain't gona like to write my stuff
down, but it's but it's it'sit's training me. Because I'm training myself.
I'm being in control so I won'tget control because you a lot other
things. You're a lot outside thingsto control you. Yeah, so you
(44:30):
want to be able to control yourselfbecause you got a thing about you have
to destroy your ego. Your egogonna tell you, Oh we could do
it tomorrow, Oh we could doit later. Oh I'm tired. You
know. That's the ego talk thinkingabout it. The flesh cries out when
it's hungry. The fletch cries outwhen it's when it's tied. The tripper
(44:51):
tells us that the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. So
you have to get out your comfortzone. Like you mentioned, it's the
time where I don't feel like puttingtogether at the show. Any times when
I don't when I don't feel likedesign a flyer or booking a client to
come onto the show. That's gettingout my way. That's I don't base
(45:14):
stuff off your emotions, Joe don'twant to say, cause we based stuff
off emotions, we'll never get anythingdone. Or I'm feeling the day,
so I'm gonna do it today,but then tomorrow I ain't feeling it.
I ain't doing it. I'm notfeeling today. Get done. I say,
no excuses, you know, butit's okay to take us take a
self care and mental day off.But it's no excuses. There are no
(45:36):
excuses why you can't get it down. You just don't want to get it
down well because yeah, at theend of the day, Nikki, because
when you're working for yourself, yougotta realize you have to cut your own
income. If you don't understand that, you know, because you have to
care out, they cret your ownincome. It's not like you work for
(45:57):
somebody else where you're guaranteed to geta face from the word. But now
you have to create your own check. What if ice think we give to
someone who's starting out where they feellike they realized it was just too on
what advice will you give them onhow to be better prepare because the trip
details of my people to struggle lackof knowledge that they rejected. Find your
(46:22):
find your niche, find your zonne, find your lane and stay in it
and just keep going. Don't youknow what I'm saying. If you go
to the bread owl, I'd liketo use that excuse on the bread out.
You know, don't get discouraged frombecause somebody else is doing the same
thing, or they might be furtherin the entrepreneurship journey. But how many
(46:42):
breads do they have on a breadout? And everyone doesn't like the same
bread, So they're gonna just keepgoing, you know, find your niche
and just keep going. If yourspiritual pray over it, is it that,
if that's what God is calling youto do, it's gonna happen.
Yeah, it is. You know, Jeffica. We have like burger places.
We have a lot of different burgerplaces. You have McDonald's, you
(47:05):
got bird King, you got waterin and out. But everybody has different
tastes even though they do the samething. But everybody does don't like the
same. But no, everybody don'tlike the same that you got Some people
who don't like them McDonald's, butthey prefer bird King. You know what
I'm saying. Do that? Dothat put McDonalds out of bed in his
not you get because you got somepeople who like McDonalds. Use this analogy.
(47:30):
You know, like people have differenttastes, so it's good that we
have a different variety of everything thatpeople can pick from. It doesn't say
that you're a bad person or youfeel less of indivision now because everybody has
different tastes because they like Matt,they like bird King. You got this
(47:52):
group like McDonald's. So that's notshutting macdona's town. But McDonald's still open
bird King still. Oh well,I'm just using these analogies, but all
these things are still going on.The dead. Everybody had different tastes for
something, so that's good. Wegot these different we have these different variety
(48:16):
of things to better choose from it. They just don't shut nobody down.
And that's a good deal about it. So I know, he prays for
time, son, Where are yourgoal for the rest of twenty twenty four?
Just keep making an impact in ourcommunity, keep bringing awareness again,
just impacting the BFW area. Andthat's what it's all right there. So
(48:40):
do you have any final marks.I don't want to hold you your very
but deptive woman. And they gotsome things got done at the time.
The game, don't stop the business, don't stop that part. So what
words of advice, what sounds ofwisdom? They will leave here with the
listening audience that's listened to us rightnow. That's what live streaming and also
(49:00):
go back lists to us in thenear future. I would say, being
a founder of a nonprofit organization,I would challenge you to connect with a
nonprofit in your area and ask howyou can make an impact. Being a
founder of an executive director, it'sa lot of work. We need the
(49:21):
community's help. So find I'll justchallenge you. I challenge you to connect
with a nonprofit. And a lotof times it might not just beat you
