What 3 self-made Black millionaires want Black Americans to know about building wealth
Part of my drive and motivation to make money was my family's health history. I wanted to have money to be able to solve health problems because I had seen members of my family die young from things that are curable.
The thing that probably had the biggest impact was community. One, having a squad of ambitious friends who were also trying to get to seven figures. We're on group chats; we email each other. I think [people] really underestimate how impactful it is to be surrounded by people who have similar goals. I'm going to keep building wealth. There's so many ways that money can be used to do good things in the world.Wealth requires consistency. There's a certain level of discipline required. You have to take risks. You have to do scary things. The people around you will tell you that you're crazy. But you have an end game, and you're willing to almost suffer for a short time so that you can have a big pay-off in the future.
