Show notes

Do you feel alone on your entrepreneurial journey? For first-generation entrepreneurs, the path to success is likely blind and lonely. Today on The TSP Show, Lamar speaks frankly about the obstacles he faced while building his 7 figure business.

Your ancestors laid the foundation for you to succeed, but it's still difficult to take a path without successful examples to guide you. You will make mistakes, and probably learn things the hard way.

#MondayNugget | Six Figures Is A Milestone, Not The Goal Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

Are you seeking financial freedom, but finding you are making less and working harder than you ever did at your 9-5? Today on The TSP Show, Lamar emphasizes the importance of growing and scaling your business. If your business has capped at 100k, you are just one major expense away from losing your business entirely!

To create the financial freedom you want as an entrepreneur, you must expand your vision and your company. If your business is only making 100k, that is not profit, and you might find yourself struggling more than you did in traditional employment. You need to have the foresight to take your game to the next level. Thinking small limits your capacity to truly exit the rat race.

If you want to get motivated to grow and scale your business, listen now!

Best of TSP | 6 Figure Business Success with Jennifer Jasper and Jamil Crews Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

Are you overwhelmed in your business? It is natural to want control of your operations, but in order to expand, you need a team, a strategy, and to keep your focus on the big picture. Today on The TSP Show, Jennifer Jasper and Jamil Crew discuss the moment they realized that they needed help. It's hard to let go, but micromanaging prevents you from reaching your full potential, and puts you at risk for burnout! A true leader understands the value of delegating responsibilities.

Jennifer Jasper, founder of God Aint Petty But I Am, a phrase she coined during her young adult Bible study. She now prints her iconic phrase and all things petty on T-shirts and apparel. Since 2020, Jennifer has expanded God Aint Petty, into a 6 figure business with 6 employees. When she was struggling to maintain her impressive sales, she joined the mastermind program, which gave her the community and support necessary to reach her sales goals

Burnout is a common problem facing entrepreneurs, and Jamil Crews was no exception. His company Crews Control Media provides event activation, public relations services, and podcast production. As the owner, Jamil wanted creative control in all aspects of his business, which was preventing his company from growing.

#MondayNugget | How to Overcome Self-Limiting Beliefs Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

Are you getting in your own way? Giving your goals a strict time limit can set you up for failure. Today on The TSP Show, Lamar teaches you how to balance realistic goal-setting with daily progress. Yes, it is essential to have goals, but if you are obsessed with accomplishing them by a certain date, that mindset could interfere with your ability to focus on the present situation.

You made that goal before you knew what it took to accomplish it, so it might take longer than you expected! If you are attached to a timeline, you become afraid of missing the deadline you imposed upon yourself. Fear disrupts your ability to make decisions, and becomes another obstacle to your ultimate goal. Your goals have their own timeline, so trust the process and know that you will feel satisfied no matter how long it takes!

If you want to learn how to shift your mindset for success, listen now!
