How To Start a 5 Year Plan [Video]

okay okay welcome black i don’t know who

this is for but it’s going to help

somebody do hit me up and ask me a

question i was like dang man this is a

really good question and i need to

respond to this a lot with y’all you

know what i’m saying so i’m going to

read this question but first i want to

commend this dude for even asking this

question because a lot of y’all have

problems but you don’t know the

solutions to your problems now that’s

normal but some people don’t even know

the questions to ask and this gentleman

right here at least knows the question

to ask okay so we’re gonna go ahead and

get into this real quick he said long

shots you’ll see this but with regards

to your post about your wife mentioning

she wouldn’t follow you without you

having a plan there’s a video going

around about how my wife wouldn’t submit

to me unless i had a five year plan

that’s not what happened but that is the

narrative that people are putting out

there so he’s asking me basically from a

man looking to do the same what steps

did you take to start moving toward

direction of having a plan and without

telling too much what did that plan look

like now i think what the plan looked

like i feel like that’s a very elaborate

answer so i’m just gonna stick to the

steps okay first thing i needed to do

was recognize what my wife was asking me

i had to put my ego to the side and say

okay she’s saying what’s your five year

plan i said i don’t know she said okay i

trust you with my family and my future

and you don’t got five years planned out

old me that would have crushed me right

average man that crushes an average man

they can’t take that type of

assertiveness right um but for me i was

understanding that my wife heard me

complaining about my jobs in the past

heard me saying i’m not really excited

about rapping at this point heard me

saying all this other stuff and she was

like okay bro what’s the plan right and

i’m like oh my goodness right that

triggered me into knowing

oh she’s saying that she wants to follow

me

she just needs to know that i know where

where i’m taking us right and so that

was the first step was moving my ego

aside and saying okay this is what my

wife is asking me the second thing i did

was i sought accountability now this is

super important if you don’t got anybody

in your life that can ask you tough

questions you need to get those people

in your life asap because it will change

everything about what’s happening in

your life uh this person on my homie

scotty who has a church down in san

diego asked me tough questions now he

said uh uh what’s your five-year plan i

said i don’t know he said what was your

10-year plan i said i don’t know he said

what’s your 15-year plan i said well i

know i don’t want to be rapping anymore

right and so he helped me figure it out

help me visualize where i wanted to be

which is super important so we did some

things right we said okay what do you

want to be doing how do you want to be

doing it who do you know that exists or

who has ever existed is in that position

that you want to be in right like

potential mentors he had me like

visualizing where i wanted to be that

was step two step three is strategize

now i happen to have one of the greatest

people right scotty james the homie is

the one that’s telling me like asking me

the tough questions and he’s helping me

strategize he said okay now look that’s

where you want to be now where do you

want how do you want to be reaching

these people what formatted and platform

are you going to use to reach these

people and tell people how great it is

to be a father and i had to really think

about that and so we developed developed

a plan right a strategy right that was

step three step four was going back and

telling my wife hey here’s the plan

here’s the strategy

and instead of her going yay

i’m so proud of you uh i knew you could

do it uh

i’m so excited that you even took the

step to do that my wife was just like

okay

because i’m glad she did that because

yeah she had her question answered but

me having a plan isn’t necessarily the

goal altogether the goal is to get to

where i want to be right and so she just

said okay she accepted the plan she

didn’t agree to it all but she was like

all right cool well do go ahead and do

your thing so step four was inform my

wife step five is i had to set goals my

first goal was like dang i wanna hit a

thou of five thousand subscribers on

youtube by january and it was a big goal

because i only had like 900 at the time

and i was like i’m gonna just put out

videos every week i’m gonna do a little

and that was like my goal right so i had

to set the goals and just keep my head

down right number six is keep your head

down and execute the plan all right that

doesn’t mean you’re getting distracted

by other people that doesn’t mean you’re

comparing yourself to

others you don’t mean you’re you’re in

the comments section um really trying to

get people to cast you down with their

negative comments and their words like

you’re just so focused on what you need

to be doing that

you

you’re relentless about the plan right

so that is step number six

step number seven is find a mentor

eventually you’re gonna look up and

you’re at your goals and you’re gonna

realize oh my goodness i don’t have any

more goals after this so you’re gonna

need a mentor to kind of show you these

are some of the blocks and the things

coming up you might not be able to see

but these are coming so i would do this

to prepare for that now a lot of you

guys want mentors with no plan

that’s not what we’re talking about here

if you if you don’t have no business

going up to someone and say hey can you

mentor me and they looking at you like

to where

where are we going where are you trying

to go and then they can decide i think i

can help you get there or they can

decide bro this ain’t you you don’t want

this trust me you know what i mean and

so um yeah just i hope that helps you

know i mean let me know if you guys want

to know the exact plan that we came up

with for my my stuff uh in the comments

section below but i hope this was

valuable to you i hope this helps

somebody out there move forward right

welcome black thank you guys so much for

watching patek your life keeping network

popping see y’all see you see you next

time peace
