WEBVTT 00:00.031 --> 00:04.157 [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to another episode of the Girl's Stop Plan podcast. 00:04.177 --> 00:05.980 [SPEAKER_00]: It's your favorite home girl choreo. 00:06.420 --> 00:12.529 [SPEAKER_00]: Here to encourage you to stop playing with your potential and start working for what you want in life and in love. 00:13.050 --> 00:19.780 [SPEAKER_00]: You already know that I'm bringing you the information and the conversations to help you make the money and get the money. 00:20.341 --> 00:23.946 [SPEAKER_00]: You can have it all as long as you are willing to work. 00:23.926 --> 00:34.121 [SPEAKER_00]: And if you are not keeping up with your girl on the gram, then you probably didn't know that I have been doing my big one over on YouTube. 00:34.842 --> 00:44.136 [SPEAKER_00]: I challenge myself to get back in the game, and I have completely dropped the ball when it comes to building up my channel on YouTube. 00:44.196 --> 00:46.339 [SPEAKER_00]: So every day for the month of December, 00:46.673 --> 00:54.602 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm uploading new content to my channel, specifically centered around motherhood, mindset, and money. 00:54.683 --> 01:04.775 [SPEAKER_00]: So if those topics of conversation are of interest to you, definitely make sure you subscribe at courier and share the channel with a friend. 01:05.515 --> 01:13.525 [SPEAKER_00]: Me posting consistently on YouTube is one of the things that has been on my imaginary to do list for some time, but I decided 01:13.893 --> 01:23.063 [SPEAKER_00]: to get serious about it and really put in consistent effort so that I can start seeing consistent growth and consistent results. 01:23.724 --> 01:39.141 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is just one of a few small daily tasks or goals that I've given myself because I realize instead of me thinking that I can wake up and be a totally different person tomorrow, it really takes 01:39.914 --> 01:52.325 [SPEAKER_00]: strategic, actionable steps, consistently, like on a daily basis, small consistent changes on a daily basis will help get me closer to my goal. 01:52.745 --> 02:09.600 [SPEAKER_00]: So if you're like me and you are not trying to wait until the new year to become a newer version of yourself, then hopefully this episode will be an inspiration for you to start getting serious about what you see for yourself 02:09.580 --> 02:11.662 [SPEAKER_00]: season in this new season. 02:12.624 --> 02:15.527 [SPEAKER_00]: So that we can make our next move, our best move. 02:16.048 --> 02:25.078 [SPEAKER_00]: So y'all know, and this is not saying like a random segue, but y'all know everybody on the streets is talking about the Ditty documentary that 50 cent produced. 02:25.098 --> 02:33.428 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, a big part of the conversation or a part of the conversation, maybe not a big part, but is what Ditty had to do with Tupac's death. 02:34.289 --> 02:39.115 [SPEAKER_00]: And when I went down this Tupac rabbit hole, I saw this post that said, 02:39.095 --> 03:04.782 [SPEAKER_00]: The impact that Tupac has on us right now in 2025 was all coming from a five-year career, like all that, not all that we know of Tupac, but the impact that he made on the music industry and on really just the black community as a whole was five years worth of work. 03:05.420 --> 03:12.255 [SPEAKER_00]: And that just blew my mind to think that we are literally still, he died when I was in sixth grade, okay, in 1996. 03:13.318 --> 03:18.129 [SPEAKER_00]: For us to still be talking about him and he's so relevant, he's still recognizable. 03:18.850 --> 03:23.260 [SPEAKER_00]: All of these years later, that is already amazing. 03:23.240 --> 03:42.782 [SPEAKER_00]: But to think about the fact that his career was only five years and he literally passed away when he was 25 years old is just mind-boggling that he could do so much, produce so much, make such an impact in just five years that he literally established a unforgettable legacy. 03:43.804 --> 03:49.450 [SPEAKER_00]: And then I started thinking about my last five years, just like focusing in on this number five. 03:49.767 --> 03:55.257 [SPEAKER_00]: I literally have birthed three children in five years. 03:55.317 --> 03:58.183 [SPEAKER_00]: Like that is crazy to think that in 2020. 04:00.086 --> 04:02.691 [SPEAKER_00]: Pre-COVID Me was kid-free. 04:03.493 --> 04:06.478 [SPEAKER_00]: And just five years later, I have three children. 04:06.658 --> 04:09.143 [SPEAKER_00]: One of which is obviously about to turn five years old. 04:10.405 --> 04:19.963 [SPEAKER_00]: And if I could create three lives in five years, what could I possibly do for my life in the next five years? 04:20.344 --> 04:28.600 [SPEAKER_00]: Like if I'm just focusing on my life, my dreams, my goals, my impact, my priorities over these next five years, 04:28.580 --> 04:30.282 [SPEAKER_00]: What do I want that to look like? 04:30.722 --> 04:36.048 [SPEAKER_00]: So I got out my little post-it-no, and I wrote down a couple questions, and I want to share those questions with you. 04:36.649 --> 04:38.991 [SPEAKER_00]: It was a helpful exercise for me. 04:39.131 --> 04:45.778 [SPEAKER_00]: It helped me to put some things in perspective and helped me to really realize where my focus needed to be. 04:46.299 --> 04:52.806 [SPEAKER_00]: How I could keep my attention on my intention, which is this end goal in five years. 04:53.887 --> 04:56.950 [SPEAKER_00]: So the first thing that I want you to just think about is 04:57.487 --> 04:59.991 [SPEAKER_00]: What year will it be five years from now? 05:00.632 --> 05:03.176 [SPEAKER_00]: So if you're listening to this in 2025, it's gonna be 2030. 05:03.296 --> 05:06.982 [SPEAKER_00]: If you're listening to this in 2026, it's gonna be 2031. 05:07.603 --> 05:11.149 [SPEAKER_00]: But just right down the year, that it will be five years from now. 05:12.511 --> 05:16.117 [SPEAKER_00]: Then right down your age, how old will you be five years from now? 05:16.137 --> 05:24.270 [SPEAKER_00]: So I just celebrated my 40th birthday, five years from now, I'm gonna be celebrating my 45th birthday, which brings me to my next question. 05:26.005 --> 05:32.214 [SPEAKER_00]: As I am celebrating my 45th birthday, what are some things that I want to be thinking God for? 05:32.314 --> 05:35.258 [SPEAKER_00]: What are some things that I want to be celebrating myself for? 05:35.358 --> 05:42.428 [SPEAKER_00]: What are some things that I want to be proud that I've been able to accomplish on my 45th birthday? 05:42.869 --> 05:47.535 [SPEAKER_00]: So whatever age you are five years from now, what do you want to be celebrating? 05:47.996 --> 05:51.000 [SPEAKER_00]: What accomplishments do you want to be most proud of? 05:51.554 --> 05:53.697 [SPEAKER_00]: on your birthday, five years from now. 05:53.737 --> 06:04.894 [SPEAKER_00]: Like you are gonna be so grateful, you're gonna be thinking God for blessing you, for guiding you, for assisting you in aligning with this, this, and this. 06:04.954 --> 06:07.778 [SPEAKER_00]: What are those three things that you wanna be so grateful for? 06:09.421 --> 06:12.305 [SPEAKER_00]: And then we can reverse engineer that thing. 06:12.365 --> 06:15.790 [SPEAKER_00]: You can look at those five year goals. 06:16.208 --> 06:24.103 [SPEAKER_00]: and start to figure out if this is what I want to have accomplished five years from now, what actions do I need to start taking today? 06:24.523 --> 06:26.928 [SPEAKER_00]: What steps do I need to start putting in place today? 06:27.309 --> 06:34.422 [SPEAKER_00]: What strategies do I need to start implementing to support the version that I see of myself five years from now? 06:34.983 --> 06:37.187 [SPEAKER_00]: So if she is going to be debt-free, 06:37.403 --> 06:39.749 [SPEAKER_00]: What type of decisions do I need to start making today? 06:39.930 --> 06:43.760 [SPEAKER_00]: On a daily basis to get to that debt-free version of myself. 06:44.381 --> 06:52.442 [SPEAKER_00]: If she is going to be a successful business owner, five years from now, what decisions do I need to start making today that will support? 06:52.422 --> 07:08.946 [SPEAKER_00]: me becoming a successful business owner and you can define success however you want, whether you want to be world renowned, you want to be award-winning, you want to have x amount of money in the bank, whatever type of success you want to experience five years from now. 07:09.567 --> 07:12.391 [SPEAKER_00]: What type of strategies do we need to start implementing? 07:12.411 --> 07:21.484 [SPEAKER_00]: What type of habits do we need to start adopting that will get us closer to that goal five years from now because you can't wake up 07:21.464 --> 07:36.140 [SPEAKER_00]: four years from now and decide who you want to, I mean you can, let me not say you can't, but it'll be a much higher mountain to climb, a much harder battle to fight, if you wait four years and decide how you want to get to life together in the next year. 07:36.921 --> 07:46.392 [SPEAKER_00]: Let's start now working with five years in mind at the end of five years, knowing what we know about two 07:47.182 --> 07:52.349 [SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that he was able to create this amazing legacy for himself. 07:54.251 --> 07:57.015 [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone still recognizes his names in rooms. 07:57.856 --> 08:01.340 [SPEAKER_00]: However many years later, what is it? 08:01.360 --> 08:04.204 [SPEAKER_00]: 29 years later, if my math is correct. 08:04.885 --> 08:07.708 [SPEAKER_00]: Almost 30 years later, his name is still recognizable. 08:07.728 --> 08:09.050 [SPEAKER_00]: His music is still being played. 08:09.431 --> 08:12.675 [SPEAKER_00]: His songs are still being used in TikTok challenges. 08:12.695 --> 08:16.800 [SPEAKER_00]: 30 years later, these new kids were not even alive yet. 08:17.776 --> 08:21.100 [SPEAKER_00]: and their familiar with who Tupac is and what his legacy is. 08:21.120 --> 08:23.863 [SPEAKER_00]: And he literally did that thing in five years. 08:24.404 --> 08:30.652 [SPEAKER_00]: So if we just looked at the impact that he was able to make in five years, imagine what you can do in the next five. 08:32.534 --> 08:37.580 [SPEAKER_00]: And so I decided to take a just a step further and I went to chat you could see me and chat go to go to RealBad. 08:38.061 --> 08:40.864 [SPEAKER_00]: And I said, let's chat, that's what I call my chat. 08:41.030 --> 08:48.961 [SPEAKER_00]: I said, let's chat, what are 21 questions because 50 cent popped in my head since I was all on this ditty documentary, rabbit hole, anyway. 08:48.981 --> 09:03.402 [SPEAKER_00]: I said, what are 21 questions that I can ask myself that will get me closer to becoming financially free to get me closer to having my most prosperous year yet in 2026?
