let's go to government next week what are kids doing they out of school take them with us it feels good to do that but if I don't evaluate where I'm in I am in life and with my finances if I don't arrange the vision of where I see myself and my family going and if I don't render a strategy and I think that's key you gotta find a strategy that works because if you don't find the strategy you're going to be stressed continue stress about the situation that you're in

That's a good question. He's asking the money guy. Within the last year, money mistake. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. How do I say this the right way, Lewis? I wanted a I've been saving up to if you know anything about me, man, I'm very big on landscaping. Yeah, I see you put up the pool and the whole thing. Yeah. Social media. Yeah. So I'm very big on landscaping.

So I'm very big on landscaping.

So I saved for a couple of years to do the pool and to do a golf. I think the biggest mistake that I made is I had the opportunity to do a golf thing. I interviewed a particular person who quoted me, I would say about 15,000 to do the pool. And to be honest, he was a white guy. Black guy comes in and quotes me 7,500. Says that he's never done it before, but he says he can do it.

Louis, I chose him. because I wanted to support a minority owned company. And it was half the price. But he's never done it before.

So I'm like in my head, oh, it's a black guy. I'm going to support a black-owned company. And to the day I die, I'm always going to figure out how can I support and support my community right where I can. You're thinking also, I'm going to be swimming in six days.

I'm not going to be waiting a month. Exactly. So I'm like, okay, cool. I do it. Man, I could send you pictures. And I was so hurt because the money mistake, it wasn't selecting an African-American company. It was selecting a company that doesn't know what to do. And because I went with that route, I had to call the guy back. The other guy called the other guy back. He wouldn't touch it. Really?

No, because he said, man, you are has someone else in costume, even warmer. So I had to find another company that could come in and do it right. And thankfully, because they were fans and they knew of me, they came in. And so to do my whole situation cost me about $22,000. When it could have been only about 14. And it took more time, more energy, more stress. Man, listen.

And it was just, it was a, I felt real bad at myself because facts on table was you've never done it before. You told me that. He was a contractor, he did landscaping, but he's never done that particular thing before. And I was like, okay, I'm gonna give you a shot.

And the biggest money lesson that I've learned is yes, support minority-owned companies, but make sure that they are qualified to do the job. And that was a huge money mistake because I ended up wasting another seven, $8,000. And that just wasn't good stewardship of my end.
