Three years ago, after 22 years of captivity, I began to build my personal brand in publishing, public speaking, criminal legal reform, spoken word performance art, photography, painting, film, and fashion. I had no access to any venture capital, Angel investors, bank loans, or debt financing to begin with. I had no handouts nor expectations that anyone owed me anything. All I had was decades of studying the @wsj @blackenterprise @theeconomist @forbes @bloombergbusiness @barrons and my dreams. Now I am entering a new phase of my entrepreneurship by aligning with the @outshinetalent family. To scale towards my aim of a multi billion dollar evaluation, it will take a village to go further instead of just going faster alone. With that, I look forward to evolving the culture of the billionaires pledge community......... #entrepreneurship #entrepreneur #business #entrepreneurlife #success #motivation #businessowner #marketing #startup #money #hustle #inspiration #smallbusiness #mindset #entrepreneurs #goals #motivationalquotes #lifestyle #love #entrepreneurmindset #leadership #digitalmarketing #bhfyp #successmindset #instagood #instagram #quotes #like #follow #successful
