The Bible isn’t silent about money. Day 19 of 30 Days of Financial Truth for Financial Literacy Month. Somehow we’ve decided it’s more holy to be broke than to be a steward. That’s not the Bible. That’s tradition. Scripture talks about money in over 2,000 verses. Jesus Himself talked about money more than He talked about heaven and hell combined. Number 9 is the one that should stop every Christian scrolling today. Stewardship isn’t optional. It’s obedience. Comment AMEN if more believers need to stop treating money like a dirty word or feeling guilty about it I’m reading every single one.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 If all the no-end-in-financial-sight-chaos is frustrating you, you might want to read this caption.  In Dec 2014, a “business” I had built for 4 years was stripped away from me.  Sheena was devastated. I had to swallow a tough pill while having ZERO financially to show for it. No stock, no cash, no residual value.  Worse, people I had mentored were being manipulated by insurance execs to take over what I had built.  Through my anger, I didn’t realize it then but God had something GREATER in store.  Things don’t happen TO you, they happen FOR you.  I had just got engaged to Sheena, raising a family of four and in my other hand, battling out a brutal family court case as the residential parent.  For a week I reached out to my former contacts in the insurance industry to go back as an individual producing agent again. “Babe, none of those are us. None of those are you!”, she’d say. Only thing Sheena and I knew how to do, was to FAITH it through.  A couple weeks later I reached out to Patrick Bet-David, who was introduced to me by Pastor Dudley Rutherford, whom I gotten introduced to by my sister, Jocelyn.  Then in Jan 2015, we officially began the MoneySmartMovement with PHP Agency. We had 27 agents during a time where everyone else was focused on real estate/crypto to make their big money. Fast forward today, we have over 6,000 agents nationwide with over 30 offices.  I served a brief time as Chief Distribution Officer. I was part of key meetings, rehearsals, data analysis to help @patrickbetdavid find a key strategic partner for @phpagency ‘s next level.  That became a reality in June 2022, while we were on a company trip to Paris/Monaco where Patrick officially partnered with Bryan Adams of Integrity Marketing Group Today we’re extremely proud to announce…we’re official partners of Integrity Marketing Group. Thank you Patrick and Jennifer Bet-David. Thank you Bryan Adams. Thank you for giving this Marine, a shot at something very special!  We’re proof that if you stick around, compete, be a flag carrier and do the work…you’re next!  Our BEST is yet to come 🤝🏽

A torn meniscus cut his freshman year FB season short. December knee surgery. What came next doesn’t get the bright lights. The therapist’s hands. The slow reps. The mornings he didn’t feel like it. His mom played D1 softball at Pitt. I served as a US Marine. In our house, excuses get zero traction. He’s chasing a D1 scholarship. I can’t hand it to him. Neither can his mom. But we can show him what the work looks like … every single day. Because the best thing a father can give his son isn’t a speech about the work. It’s the work itself. There’s always a probability someone out there is more talented than you. Just never let them outwork you.

Quick question. How much longer are you going to try to build this thing by yourself? August 20th, I'm teaching the one thing nobody covers at the conferences "Solo Doesn't Scale." The real mechanics of strategic partnership. What to look for. What to walk from. What it's actually costing you to keep going alone. Same night, we have a big announcement that only those whose get in the room will get to experience. This isn't a networking event. It's a room of people who decided they're done doing it alone. 50 seats. That's it. Comment "CWW" for the link.

👇 Want the full music video? Comment "SORRY" below and I'll DM it to you. ⬇️ They all said sorry. But only one man showed up. 100 million Americans are underinsured right now. Most of them think they're fine — until they're not. So we made something that's never been made before. The first music video. About life insurance. Not a commercial. Not a jingle. A movement set to music. "SORRY" by @milyon.ai 🎵 Comment "SORRY" and I'll send it straight to your DMs. (Make sure you're following @moneysmartguy first — IG blocks DMs from non-followers.)

@jourdanjd_ doesn't have a story that was supposed to work out this way. Detroit kid. No shortcuts. A false accusation at 21 that hit right before the NFL combine. Everything on the line before his career even started. He fought it. Stood on his innocence. Earned his way to the league anyway. Eight years with the Dallas Cowboys. Team captain year one with his next squad. Largest contract in history for his position at 30 years old. And somehow the money conversation is the part most people never heard. Full episode dropping soon on the Just Earn It podcast. You don't want to miss this one.

Your lifestyle already made the decision for you. The restaurants. The trips. The fits. The weekends. The stuff that makes the week bearable enough to survive until Friday. None of it is wrong. All of it has a price tag. And most people are paying that price tag on an income that was never built to support the life they're actually living. That's not a spending problem. That's a gap problem. The gap between the income you have and the life you're already committed to. The calendar tells the truth before the bank account does. Taco Tuesday. Thirsty Thursday. TGI Friday. Tailgate Saturday. Tailgate Sunday. Then back to a job you need just enough not to quit. That loop isn't a lifestyle. That's a sentence. The question isn't whether you deserve the life you want. You do. The question is whether you're building the income to actually own it. Or just charging it to a future you haven't funded yet. Your lifestyle is already writing the checks. The only thing left to decide is whether your income is going to learn how to cash them.

Moving Cigars Wealth and Whiskey quarterly event to August 20, 2026 Same venue. Same room. Same standard. Bigger moment than I originally planned! Two reveals up in my Stories today …. one I’ve been holding for months.

Why do people with the SAME opportunity, SAME playbook…SAME mentors, SAME powerful proximity and SAME ways to develop… Have WILDLY different results? I’ve been in these trenches for 26 years. The answer has NOTHING to do with the opportunity. It has EVERYTHING to do with the person holding it. Same playbook. One built millions. One quit and blamed the company. The variable was never the opportunity. It was always the stewardship of it. Follow @official7figuresquad and YT channel!

Read Caption ⬇️ I used to think my problem was that I wasn't talented enough. Wrong. I survived the Persian Gulf. Somalia. I was trained by the most elite fighting force on the planet. I wasn't lacking grit or discipline. My problem was simpler and way more painful than that. I believed the version of me that existed at my lowest was the permanent version. $250 in my account. Bankruptcy filed. Marriage gone. Three kids watching their dad figure out how to hold it together. Every time my debit card got swiped, I held my breath waiting for the decline. That's not a motivation story. That was my life. And the thing nobody tells you when you're in that place is that the real prison isn't the debt or the credit score. It's the story you start telling yourself about what you're capable of from here. Fixed mindset doesn't announce itself. It just quietly convinces you that where you are is where you belong. It took me years to see that the gap between who I was and who I could become wasn't a talent gap. It was a belief gap. The moment I stopped asking "why is this happening to me" and started asking "what do I need to learn"... everything shifted. Not overnight. Not cleanly. But it shifted. I'm not writing this to inspire you. I'm writing this because if you're somewhere I've been, holding your breath, wondering if this is just who you are now... I need you to know that the story you're telling yourself right now is not the final one. Your ceiling isn't fixed. But your mindset might be. And that's the only thing worth fixing first. #Mindset #Leadership #MoneySmartGuy #FaithMadeMillionaire #7FigureSquad

I grew up watching people pray for a better life. Good people. Faithful people. People who believed God would provide. And He wanted to. But the ground was never prepared. No plan. No protection. No foundation. Just faith and hope that something would show up. I know because I was one of them. Marine Corps sergeant. Faithful in church. Broke in real life. Praying for provision while ignoring the preparation God was waiting on me to do. It wasn't until I understood stewardship that everything changed. Not tithing. Not giving more. Stewardship. What you do with what God already placed in your hands. The income you haven't organized. The family you haven't protected. The plan you keep telling yourself you'll build someday. Noah didn't wait for the flood to build the ark. Joseph didn't wait for the famine to store the grain. They moved before the moment demanded it. That's not hustle culture. That's biblical obedience. James 2:17 didn't stutter. Faith without works is dead. The breakthrough you've been praying for isn't waiting on God. It's waiting on you. Comment MOVEMENT if you're ready to put your faith in action.

Real question. Are you the smartest, most successful person in every room you walk into? Because that might be the problem. Not the flex you think it is. Burnout behind closed doors. Bottlenecks that start and stop with you. A growth ceiling built on control instead of trust. I learned the expensive way that self-made sounds good on the internet. But solo doesn't scale. Every level I've hit came through proximity. Someone who already had access to the room I was trying to get into. Wealth moves at the speed of trust, not hustle. Not hours. Solo made you survive. The right partnerships are how you skip. We built a room for 50 people who are ready for that conversation. Comment CWW
