Rules To Be A King
Where I’m at right now
Everybody claims or wants to be King but few can wear the crown.
Where I'm at right now and what I've learned about myself in the past 3 months. I took a hiatus from social media, real estate, and pretty much everything that caused me stress. So here is what I've been working on:
Data science
Analysis
Machine learning
AI
All this demands putting in some serious hustle.
Guess what?
Most times I don't want any of it lol . I have faced a multitude of obstacles this year.
CHASING the real estate buzz more on that and why you should never chase things.
The entrepreneurial path, being a father, and leader. You have to know who you are.
This isn’t anything new but it reminds me of Snowfall.
(Mr. Mental Muscle you can check out a break down about it here )
A month ago , I remember at the end of that series, it was revealed that he was addicted to money the whole time. If you're honest with yourself you have or are now .
But that’s why understanding who you are and how to make money work for you is vital.
Now back to snow fall. It turned Franklin into addict like his father, and a drunk. Losing sight of what’s important to you will have you going on a merry go round that you can never get off.
Normalise taking time away from Twitter without feeling guilty.
Memorable life experiences are greater than pixels on a screen.

Unplug guilt-free! Life's best moments happen outside the screen. Normalize taking a break from Twitter or anything that may be consuming you and savor the unforgettable experiences that truly matter. #DigitalDetox #LifeBeyondTheScreen
Chew the meat spit out the bone
As time goes along you hear lots of advice . The key is to take what you need and leave the rest where it lies.
Early in my parental journey the best advice I ever received was: Don’t take anyone's advice. I know it may sound crazy but it makes sense.
You're better off following your instincts.
Read, gain information, communicate, consume knowledge , perspective and insight. But always do what feels right. (Intuition) -
Give your time to genuine people
Let your intuition say yes or no
Don’t just agree to everything
Agree to only the things that are for you
And learn from refusing things that should have been from you.

It can be very hard to follow your intuition. But that’s exactly why you must do it.
If it's hard for you that means you have work to do.
Here are seven Weaknesses you have and 7 strengths to develop to destroy those weaknesses.
7 Weakness and & 7 Ways To Become Stronger
Weaknesses:
Tech Trap:
Phones, tablets – our Achilles' heel. Trying to break free from the screens to vibe with the fam? That's some real King ish.
Balancing Act:
Juggling jobs? Try three. It's a tightrope walk, avoiding the chaos pit while balancing work and family. We're daring the fire, kings!
Society's Side-eye:
Society wants us in a neat little box – breadwinner, tough guy, and the occasional DIY hero. But piff...? We're breaking out, rewriting the script, being the fathers we damn well please – for ourselves and those who never had one.
Guilt Trip:
Perfect parent? Nah. Steering this parenting wide load, ditching the guilt trip with all we've got.
Mental Gymnastics:
Mental health talk? Hell yeah. Breaking down stigma, because being strong doesn't mean keeping it all inside.
Money Madness:
Financial stress – the villain we hate. Bills, college funds, weekly getaways – we're wrestling numbers for the knockout.
Parenting Odyssey:
Parenting guide? Nonexistent. Navigating this maze with Google searches and a wing-it attitude. No manual, just the dad gut feeling.
Strengths:
Patience:
Life tests, but stay cool when the fam tries to be your kryptonite.
Empathy:
Tune into the tiny human wavelength – it's the decoder for toddler tantrums and teen eye rolls.
Adaptability:
Parenting Twister – flexibility is the game. Roll with it, King!
Consistency:
Keys lost, but routine found – predictability goes a long way. Core responsibilities intact.
Resilience:
Fatherhood Is a rollercoaster, bouncing back from scraped knees and broken windows.
Leadership:
Captain of the family ship – chart the course, be the guy with the map, even if it's Google Maps half the time.
Communication:
It's more than veggie reminders – really talk and listen. They've got gems if we bother to tune in.
On this merry go round , being a Father is a bold journey. So, strap on that Crown, punch self-doubt in the face, and let's kick it up a notch. Dad life should be legendary, for the legends we are.
Now that we have strengths out the way we need a strategy to fortify our development
A strategy to fortify our development
Here is what I’m doing in a few key aspects of my life to wear the crown.
Lifting weights 4 days a week

Praying everyday
Self education
Working on my intellectual property ( Courses Books Manuals and systems to pass down to my generations.
