Ep 25: Making Money VS. Creating Wealth featuring Darren "Freedom" Green
Part 3 of 4:
When we think of “rich,” we think of the visible signs of money we’re socialized to recognize, like fancy cars, big homes, and designer clothes. But even though the “rich” have a high income, some spend money as fast as it comes in. In this sense, being rich can be more difficult to maintain. It’s highly dependent on money coming in – usually in the form of a paycheck. And, many times, those who have all the conspicuous signs of being “rich” have substantial debt to support their lifestyle.
“Rich” can disappear as fast as the next paycheck.
But many wealthy people don’t display outward signs of being rich. They may have the money to buy luxury items, but a high percentage of wealthy people don’t own expensive cars, large, modern homes, or designer clothing. Wealth is something that lasts, endures, gets past on from generation to generation. Rich is temporal; However, Wealth Minded people delay immediate gratification to create long-term financial security. Darren "Freedom" Green returns for Part 3 of a 4 part Street StartUps mini-series to discuss this very topic!

Ep 23: Poverty Mindsets featuring Darren "Freedom" Green
Part 1 of 4:
The first of a special 4 episode series with Darren "Freedom" Green! Darren is an educator, motivational speaker, but he's really a "subject matter specialist". "Give me the subject matter", Darren says, "and I'll make it special!" In this first episode of 4, Darren joins Tracey and CJ as they address the "Poverty mindset". Like many other things, a poverty mindset robs a person of any real quality of life, serves to maintain a broken spirit, eliminates the desire for excellence and accords the acceptance of a life of poverty. #PovertyMindset #YouAreAbrand #YouAreaWalkingBusiness

Ep 22: Collaboration in Business
Collaboration sometimes seems to be the last thing on the mind of entrepreneurs. It is quite disappointing and interesting as the same time, as to why most prefer to compete, and not collaborate. Historically and traditionally, businesses can be built and nurtured by collaborating and not by competing. It is human nature to compete, but the urge to win comes along with jealousy and ego. This can hinder progress of a project that is aimed toward a noble and useful cause. Tracey and CJ tackle the mindset that goes along with this very issue. Enjoy!

Ep 21: Starting a Business with no Money
“I’ve got a great idea for a business. But I don’t have any money to start it up.” This phrase is something Tracey and CJ have heard again and again . . . and again—from students, friends, and sometimes even colleagues. While it’s true that a generous credit line, a team of investors, or an uncle with deep pockets can make starting a company easier, not having money is no excuse. If you are confident that you have a product or service people want, don’t allow the lack of capital to deter you from your business goals. By pivoting, grinding it out, getting creative, and differentiating yourself, you can bootstrap your way to a successful business. Listen in as Tracey and CJ unpack this common issue with potential entrepreneurs.

Ep 20: People's Perception
Customer perception refers to the customer's opinion of your business or products. It summarizes how customers feel about your brand including every direct or indirect experience they've had with your company. By monitoring customer perception, your businesses can spot common user pain points and improve the customer journey—however, friends from your past and sometimes even your family's perception of you is an entirely different thing. These people knew you BEFORE you ever became a business owner or entrepreneur. They've seen you at your worst, and now, you expect them to see you as a successful business owner? Well, it's not impossible but it is rare. Remember, other people's perception of you is none of your business. Listen in as Tracey and CJ discuss that very topic.

Ep 17: To Pivot or not to Pivot
A pivot in business usually occurs when a company make a fundamental change to their business after determining that their product or service isn't meeting the needs of their intended market. CJ likens it to changing lanes while driving on a highway; "You're not necessarily exiting the highway, you're still going in the same direction, you're just changing lanes". Join Tracey and CJ this week as they discuss when to change lanes and pivot and when the time for exiting the highway is appropriate. As Tracey says, "If it doesn't make sense (cents) then the business won't make dollars" - if the pivot isn't logical, beneficial, or profitable, don't do it.
