So came to Trinidad 🇹🇹🫠 but 😩...the slowest moment of the ultimate action-packed live event was when the trini YouTube went up to ...

And asked him to repeat to his viewers, that:
"Education is the key to success".

This, is an example of the failure of the global education.
Where people continue to merely regurgitate something they heard or read, without actually thinking, if it makes sense or not.

When the term was originally coined, "education" meant formal schooling.
The process of enrolling into an institution, to learn subjects to get a certificate, in order to qualify for a job.
This specific form of academic education can indeed, help you with alot of things.
It can help you source a job.
But merely having a job is definitely not the definition of "success."
Even in 2026, we are failing to grasp that you CAN be successful without SEA, CXC passes or university degrees.
Yet we continue to repeat outdated info without really paying attention.

👉 did not want to finish high school.
He did not further his formal education at all.
Yet at 21, he makes more money than all of us with degrees and masters combined 📌📌📌

You know why?
It's because academic education is NOT the "key" to success.
Creativity and Innovation is 👌💯🤏🌟

This one is for the WOMEN 💯
There is something that we don't talk about enough 🤫

Did you know that if you want to be a successful female entrepreneur, with some peace of mind, that there are two types of people you need to stay far away from:

⚠️1.The threatened man.

Not the one who is building.
But one who is obsessed with appearing like he is.
He wants success, but refuses self awareness.
He wants wealth, but lacks integrity.
He always thinks that he’s the brightest person in the room, so he is never truly willing to learn.
He demands respect but cuts corners, and then wonders why doors don’t open.
And when he sees a woman winning in a so called "man's world" that he believes was built for him?
He doesn’t reflect. He gets angry and develops resentment.
Stay far away from this type of man.
Professionally and also personally.
His broken ego will punish you for your ability to accomplish things that he wishes he could.

⚠️ 2. The conditioned woman.

The one who traded authenticity for acceptance.
She wants to be bold, but chooses comfort.
She wants to be seen, but hides who she is.
She is terrified of judgment and confrontation.
So she lives her life shrinking herself.
She conforms and performs, in order to be more likeable to her peers, colleagues and partners.
She may have a career, but she "wins" through charm, her looks or kissing 🍑
Never by being true to herself.
When this type of woman sees another woman who is free…
One who speaks bravely, one who is not afraid to lead or live unapologetically...
She doesn’t get inspired. She gets very triggered.
Because your courage exposes her fears.
Also stay far away from a woman like that.
Her insecurity will try to find ways to demean and discredit your personality.

Because the truth is...
Powerful women are not accidents.
They are bold.
Self assured. Intentional.
And fearless about being misunderstood.
They don’t wait to be accepted.
They decide who they are and move accordingly.

That creates discomfort in so many because we have been wrongly conditioned to believe that feminine energy is passive, unsure, indecisive, incapable therefore always in need of "help".

Don't keep individuals like that close.
People who seek to put you in a box.
Learn to protect your energy, vision and your uniqueness.
Because you don't need to have the biggest circle to win or be happy.
You just need the right ones 💯

DO YOU KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE? 😩😩😩

Last weekend, I met a Billionaire from The Netherlands 💸🔥👽✨💥🙊💸🔥👽✨🙊💥
For a long while, I've been manifesting the expansion of my network.
For both personal and professional growth.
It's a strategy.
I strongly believe that you should never spend all your time with people who are in the same class or income bracket as yourself.
You won't grow. Or be great.
Because 99% of people just want to be comfortable.
That's all.
If you want to really prosper, you NEED to position yourself in rooms and places with people who are doing SIGNIFICANTLY better in life, than you.
So as part of my 2026, networking hack, I've been meeting and learning from the top guns.
The ballers.
Not shot callers 😆😩
Just million and billionaires.
This particular individual I mentioned, got their wealth selling ships. And make a billion, sometimes in just one day. That surprised me. Because here I was thinking that I was a G, doing well in real estate.
But he showed me that while real estate is a great industry, there are other industries that I could make three times as much using the same energy and skills in sales.

When I think about that, there was a lesson in there for all of us:

Here is the truth 📌
We each have the same 24 hours in the day.
All of us.
But some of us make $400TT at the end of the day.
While some make $400,000 USD.
Because it is always about choices.
The quality of life that you live is directly dependent on the day to day decisions WE make.
Some of us choose to stay in crappy jobs, making crappy money.
And then the years past, and we are in the exact same financial position that we were 5 years ago.
Only because we don't know when to LEAVE or walk away.
Quitting is not always a bad thing.
Staying is not always good.
When you view "staying" as some noble feat, you end up stuck in situations, unable to take chances that could improve your life.
Learn to LEAVE.
Learn to try new things.
Learn to take risks.
Leave dead end jobs.
Leave careers that do not fulfill you.
Leave businesses that hardly make any profits for you.
Because sometimes, just sometimes.....the grass IS greener on the other side 💸💚💸💚💸

I remember when my father passed away 🫶🙏♥️

One of my relatives on his side of the family, made a snide remark implying that my dad worked all his life for nothing because he “died and left it behind.”

This phrase is so common in T&T.
"Doh fight up"....they say.
"Yuh will dead and leave it" 😄😄

It sorta discourages ambition, as if building something in this life is pointless.

At the time I didn’t respond to the individual.
Because yes, my had father died.
But I also knew that he left his huge estate for his wife and children.
And that changes everything.

When my father passed, his death was never in vain. Because dying and leaving assets that would improve the quality of life of the people you leave behind is EXACTLY how you are supposed to live 📌

That's called good, responsible parenting.

Meanwhile sometime later, the same relative lost her mother. She died as well.
Instead of leaving something, she left behind funeral bills and debt. Instead of leaving betterment, her children had to use their already limited money, to cover medical bills and burial expenses.

Both parents died.
But the outcomes their children faced were completely different.

Never let anyone shame you for working hard or spending your life building wealth or assets......ESPECIALLY if you have children.

Yes, you may die.
Yes, you won't be buried with your land or material possessions.
But guess what?
That's Exactly what you want!
As a loving parent, your goal is to intentionally leave behind things that would improve the quality of your children's life in your passing.

Good parents leave inheritances.
Good parents focus on building legacy.

Because unfortunately we are ALL going to die.

But everyday I focus, not just on merely "enjoying life"..... but working to ensure that I accumulate even more financial and material possessions than my dad did, for my boys.....so that whenever I am called to leave this earth, I can go in PEACE knowing that their life, their children's and their children's life, will be not just be good, but great.

That’s not greed.
That's not "missing out".
That’s just love in its most practical and sensible form ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

When I was younger, I would meet a lot of rich, successful entrepreneurs from the network. And almost all of them would say the same thing:

👉That they can tell who’s going to make it in life....
👉And they can also tell who will not.

Sometimes I felt like it was a bit arrogant.
But the more I achieved, the more I realized that success requires certain qualities to be present in your life…and certain qualities to be completely absent.

It’s not luck.
Not only hard work.
It’s also patterns and personality.

‼️ Traits That Must Be Present

⭐Consistency
If you say you’re going to do something, always do it. Even the little things. People who make it are the ones that show up when they say they are going to. If you want to win in this world, your word has to mean something.

⭐Execution
Everybody has ideas. People always have a dream. The difference? Some people actually move and build and finish. Just because you desire something, does not mean you are going to get it. Because talk does not create results, only action does.

⭐Problem Solver Mentality
Life is hard for everybody. The ones who make it don't have fewer problems. They simply never feel sorry for themselves or look for sympathy from others. Instead they use their energies to hyper focus on how they can fix and move on from their problems.

❌ Traits That Must Be Absent

🚩Stubbornness
Have you ever met a person who consistently rejects and refutes good advice. Even when they are prone to making mistakes? People who refuse to watch, listen and learn, seldom reach where they want to be in life. If you want to make it, you need to be humble enough to take counsel from people who are doing better than you.

🚩Unrealistic
There are alot of people with potential but potential means nothing without results. Being intelligent or having knowledge is useless without ex*****on. If the person you think you are in your head doesn’t match what you’re producing in real life, that’s not confidence, that’s delusion.

🚩Excuse Making
Some people love the victim position. Nothing is ever their fault. But successful people take responsibility for everything in their life. Accountability is personal power. The moment you say “this is on me,” you can take control back and change your circumstances.

Sell to the Rich 📌

Last year, we listed three villas on legit, freehold land in Tobago for $200k ttd each.
It was an exceptional value.

We intentionally kept the price low, because we wanted to help people, by creating affordable real estate opportunities.
Instead, we got hesitation and the typical “this sounds like a scam” energy.

Annoyed, we changed the strategy.
We reposted the same properties at $500k each.
It was still a good deal.
This time, our inbox exploded.
And less than 30 days all were sold.
Three lucky individuals walked away with ocean view, income generating assets.
It was the same product.
Different price.
Different perception.

Because here’s the uncomfortable truth most entrepreneurs avoid:

People do not want CHEAP.
What they desire more than saving money is:
Exclusivity.
Status.
Luxury.

This is why the most expensive events in Trinidad sell out first, fetes like CIC, Pinknic, Hyatt Lime.
Versus the cheaper ones, even if they have more artistes or a better lineup.

It’s why iPhones exist and continue to dominate the market. And why people go into lifelong debt to live in certain communities or buy certain vehicles.

Pricing your product is not just about affordability.
It’s about identity. If your business model is built purely on being “affordable,” you’ll work harder, earn less, and struggle longer.

The proof in this story.

This was a real event, that really happened in 2025.
In February 2026, we will have more villas available for sale in a different area. Walking distance to the beach.
We are contemplating starting at around $350kttd.
Still very affordable.
Because this time we will be documenting the process, to share receipts with our real estate students so that they can understand human nature.

Trump: "We are going to run Venezuela to make sure that it is running properly."
👇THE COUNTRY HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING

Welcome to the United States of America. Where:

- Homelessness is now an epidemic
- Mass Drug addiction has swamped the country causing zombie like figures that walk the streets
- Thousands of citizens are living in their cars and storage units because they can no longer afford rent or housing.
- Mass migration out of the US, with large American expat communities forming in countries like Ghana, Belize, Thailand and Bali.

Charity is not only financial.
You can also help others by sharing the knowledge that you have.

Here are 3 business ideas I would definitely implement if I had more time. These would earn big bucks because you would be operating in a "blue ocean" monopoly, rather than competing with other entrepreneurs.

#1📍 Rideshare for Tobago

Transportation is very costly on the island, especially hired taxis. Yet there are no uber type options, only in Trinidad. This one is a no brainer.

#2📍Vacation Nanny (Tobago)

A service that provides trained, background-checked babysitters for folks on holiday. Even on planned family vacations, most couple will still enjoy a little quality time. This service would allow tourists to explore while their kids are safely supervised.

#3📍Turkey Farming (Trinidad and Tobago)

If you are into farming and agriculture, this one is for you. Every year we all buy turkeys for Christmas.
However the vast majority of the ones that we buy are imported. Turkeys can live and be bred in Trinidad and Tobago. This is a low competition but high demand market waiting to be explored.

Long ago, we had warrior kings
The leaders that started or supported conflict, had the fortitude to stand right there beside their people and fight.
That we could respect.
Nowadays, these Presidents and Prime Ministers are very hasty to bring war onto their people, while they sit safely outside of harm's way.
It is my strong opinion, that if the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago is supporting the US and their military aggression in the Caribbean region, that we petition to ensure that her sons, nephews and members of her family, be the first on the battle field.
Lead from example Mrs Bissessar.

This week the police busted and charged men who were hunting iguanas outside of hunting season. The iguanas were released into the wild, which was great news. What's interesting is, just yesterday we had a conversation with a hunter. We asked him, why go through the trouble of hunting, when you can simply invest the same time and energy into breeding?
Globally as a society, we do not hunt for cows, or goat or even chickens. We domesticate and breed them for easy access and ease of business. Wild meat, on the other hand, is only called "wild" because no-one had the initiative to change how we source it. The iguana produces scores of young ones when they reproduce. Instead of hunting and killing hundreds of iguanas in the wild that already help support our natural eco system, an alternative would be to simply capture a male and female and turn it into "livestock" by creating a legitimate animal husbandry business.
