Dear Mom

I appreciate you! When I was a teenager, you planted a seed when I was entertaining economic opportunities via the illegal distribution of controlled substances. Your baby boy was an aspiring drug dealer. Fearing for my life after you threatened to kill me if I refused to stop, you encouraged me to redirect my focus and use the principles that I’d learned in the streets of “buying low and selling high” in the stock market. I will never forget those words, “if you learn how to invest in the stock market, you will be a millionaire one day”. I didn’t even know what the stock market was. However, I know what I could do with a million dollars for myself and my family. I’ve been intrigued by the financial markets ever since. After beating both my gun and a drug case and escaping 10-15 years in jail due to God’s grace and our family’s prayers, I called you to let you know that I had purchased my first book about stocks on my way to Basic Training after enlisting in the US Navy. From that moment forth, I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I wanted to master making money in the stock market and bring it back to the streets to teach us, the “have not’s” how to hustle “legally”. Many have been blessed because of the seeds you’ve sown, and many will be. Thank You. This is for you. I love you!
