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.
Oh, man, so good. My definition of abundance, and I'll break it down a little bit shorter, but I give a real, real, real good definition inside of the book. Abundance for me is just that, man, I have so much that it's an overflow that it's not just for me. Abundance is that there's an overflow of life, of love, of resources, of money.
That is, I can't, if this was the water, it has to be some other things out here to catch it. So when I feel as that, from my spiritual perspective, when God is pouring into me, it's overflowing into my kids. It's overflowing into my community. It's overflowing into my wife. It's overflowing into my family, into my friends. And to me, that's abundance.
When I have so much that I can't keep it all that I got to give it to everybody. And so I think what's blocking people from that is that we're not positioning ourselves to receive abundance. How do we position ourselves to receive abundance? That's easy. That's an easy question that I think that's not an easy question, but that's an easy conversation.
I think a lot of people will want a deep answer for it. Just wake up and say, I'm ready. Just wake up and say, you know what? I'm changing my life today. And I'm going to position myself to where I can do it. But if you're drowning in debt, if you don't have an emotional coach, a therapist that can get your mind fixed, you're never going to receive abundant. I was sitting down with a couple.
And this particular couple, Louis, made me cry emotionally on the inside. Because the guy said, yeah, man, no. He said, when I get my paycheck, I got to go buy a suit. I got to go buy something. He's in his 60s. And he's like, man, yeah, growing up, he's like, man, it was just so tight that, you know, I couldn't enjoy my money.
So now when I get my money, as long as I got a roof over my head, clothes on my back, shoes on my feet, food at my table, I'm going to enjoy having my money. I don't need this. I don't need it. We don't need all that. I'm like, yeah, you don't have an abundance mindset. He just had a very shallow mindset that, man, every check, you got to spend it on material things.
And I understand that because of the season that he grew up in was that, man, we couldn't really enjoy our money. He had to give his money to his parents growing up to help them live, to help the family survive. Now that he has his money, he's like, yo, I have to buy something for me. And I'm like, yeah, man, I can teach you how to invest. Let your investments buy real nice things for you.
But for his mindset was, I don't need all of that. And I don't need to. He literally said this, my kids ain't getting none of my money because I work for it. And I'm like, yeah, that's not an abundance mindset. My kids will reap the fruit of my hard work. My community will reap the fruit of my family. My nephews, my niece will reap the fruit of me sitting at the head of my table.
And I got in the abundance position. not just abundance, but keep in mind, authentic is super important because when you are authentic to who you are, it opens up way more doors. And I think a lot of people are fearful to be authentically them. And for a while, I was fearful to be the authentic Anthony O'Neal because I allowed, and shut me up Lou, this is your show, but I allowed social media
to tell me how to think and how to talk. I allowed friends and peers to tell me what I should wear, what I should do. I allowed previous bosses in companies to tell me what I should read and how I should talk and how I should present. It wasn't until I said, okay, I'm going to be the authentic version of me. And if you can't handle me, then you're just not welcome at my table.
Doesn't mean you're a bad person. Doesn't mean you're a bad company. Doesn't mean you're a bad organization. Doesn't mean you're a bad girlfriend or a bad boyfriend. It just simply means that, no, in order for me to fulfill and really feel that level of freedom, I got to be the authentic Anthony O'Neal. And so for me, the authentic Anthony Neal talks like this, thinks like this, acts like this.
Man, you listen to me in my show and y'all probably heard my grammar is not the perfect thing. But man, I used to be like, OK, well, let me talk like this. But I've learned. No, not everyone's going to like me. So everyone's not going to like me. Why am I trying to please everyone?
There's so much freedom and so many, you can do so much more with your resources, get the job that you really desire, get the career that you really want to get and even build the business that you really want to build when you are your authentic self. And the truth of the fact is, Louis, I've made more money.
being the authentic me, then when I wasn't the authentic me, I made good money, but I didn't make this much money.
