My kids see me leave for work each day, but they don’t always understand why I’m going. When Theo asked me why I was “always working”. I realized I needed to tell my children about our streams of income and how they fit into the family business. As of now, none of our income streams are passive. We work day in and day out to keep this business moving, but when we do figure out how to generate a passive income I’ll let y’all know LOL. Till then, I’ll be teaching my children how to work hard, remain grateful, and get those INCOME STREAMS! Enjoy this episode and make sure to meet me in the community page comments to talk after the vlog!

00:14
is
00:25
last year we decided that we wanted to
00:27
do merch and with the help from our
00:29
friends at walk in love we were able to
00:31
build an infrastructure
00:33
and a system that supports you guys in
00:36
supporting us
00:37
so we’ve sold about 9 000 pieces
00:41
of inventory and we are so grateful that
00:43
some of you have purchased
00:45
now we only do this about four or five
00:47
times a year and i think that is the
00:48
perfect opportunity to show the kids
00:51
the value in income streams
00:54
and how scared money don’t make money
00:57
our shop is now
00:58
closed and it’ll open again in august
01:01
but during this past launch we got to
01:03
see our kids
01:04
help out with the family business go
01:12
sit in here
01:16
well some of our kids
01:27
our kids always offer to help when we’re
01:30
doing something
01:31
they just want to feel a part of what
01:33
we’re doing they want to be next to us
01:35
they want to be around
01:36
us and they’re at the age now where
01:39
working is not a bad thing
01:41
they actually feel more grown up in a
01:43
part of the family
01:45
years ago theo was on a billboard when
01:47
he was five years old
01:49
i snapped this picture and it ended up
01:50
all around the world and we went to go
01:52
see that billboard
01:53
now theo didn’t understand the
01:54
significance of a billboard he thought
01:56
it was just a picture of himself
01:58
and that’s great but when that happened
02:00
people started walking up to theo and
02:02
our other kids saying
02:04
you’re famous and that is weird
02:08
because we had to explain to theo what
02:10
fame is and why people know who he is
02:13
and what’s the purpose of all this so i
02:15
had to explain to him
02:17
why we make videos the fact that there
02:19
is not a lot of proof
02:21
of black love black family black
02:23
fatherhood
02:24
and black life and so we want to promote
02:27
that
02:27
and that’s what we’re doing then he
02:29
started asking questions about the
02:31
business
02:32
why i work so much why i’m always
02:33
shooting videos what does that all mean
02:36
and so i could have got defensive and
02:38
said i’m working because we need to pay
02:40
the bills and that’s it
02:42
but i really wanted him to understand
02:44
and the rest of the children
02:46
to understand how they are a part of the
02:49
big picture
02:50
so we started telling them about the
02:52
different streams of income we have
02:54
so now as they’re helping i’m trying to
02:57
make sure they understand the overall
02:58
value
02:59
of the bottom line and the fact that we
03:01
are working for the farm
03:03
and for the family name and it makes me
03:05
so excited
03:06
that the kids want to help and we give
03:09
them small tasks that they can do
03:10
to support the family as a whole
03:28
hang it back on the side of the house
03:32
on the other side yes
03:36

04:12

04:14
too so thank you guys so much for your
04:15

04:18
in that purpose
04:19
collection gear it’s it’s it’s fiery
04:21
that had all the intel you you guys know
04:23
okay i’m not gonna
04:25
but anyway uh we’ve been trying to
04:27
express the importance
04:28
of income streams to our children myself
04:31
i don’t know if this is like a scarcity
04:33
thing or whatever but i
04:35
have been taught to have multiple
04:37
streams of income
04:38
because i can’t rely on one certain
04:42
thing
04:42
you know what i’m saying like so you can
04:44
do that you know what i mean you can put
04:45
all your eggs in one basket
04:47
but because i’m so multifaceted and i
04:49
have so many different types of things
04:50
that i’m
04:51
decent at um you know having multiple
04:54
streams of income has been a strength
04:55
that i’ve been learning
04:57
learning to operate in and so um
05:00
you know making shirts and making
05:03
apparel
05:04
that is a form of income when we have a
05:06
brand deal with another company
05:07
that is another stream of income um and
05:10
adsense is another stream of income and
05:12
music right so
05:13
we have all these different ways to make
05:15
money but i wanted to teach the kids
05:17
uh you know what that actually means for
05:19
them you know what i’m saying they
05:20
contribute to the household
05:22
and i have this like this beautiful like
05:25
imagery in my mind of like we all work
05:27
on a farm and we all do our part
05:29
to uh support the overall needs of the
05:32
family
05:32
and that is what uh you know i’ve kind
05:36
of been seeing
05:37
lately you know when i asked the kids
05:38
okay like they sometimes
05:40
even ask like man what are we doing are
05:41
we having fun or is this about income
05:43
streams you know what i’m saying and
05:44
sometimes i tell them like no we’re just
05:45
having fun
05:46
and other times it’s like yo we’re
05:47
actually working today and so
05:49
um you know paying them and them you
05:51
know watching their
05:52
bank accounts grow and stuff like that
05:54
has been amazing to to
05:55
to watch and see so man i’m just
05:58
very grateful um have you talked to your
06:01
children about ways to make income
06:03
entrepreneurship or anything like that
06:05
and that’s not something that everybody
06:06
has in them
06:07
i do feel like uh theo might be more of
06:09
an entrepreneur mind
06:11
actually i think all my kids probably
06:13
will but that’s just because i am and
06:15
that’s what i hope
06:16
but if they decide to be someone’s
06:17
employee or work for me or whatever they
06:19
want to do i support
06:20
that too but i’m curious to know have
06:21
you talked to your children about income
06:23
streams let me know
06:24
