Gloria Johnson

I attribute my success to my mindset and my ultimate goal. I know what I want for my children - I want to show them that regardless of what it may look like, you could do anything that you want to do. I'm a single parent, and it is a lot. It does get hard. Everyone sees my social media and thinks it's perfect, I got it going on, I'm rich, but it is a lie. I like to be transparent and show the things that are behind the scenes that are happening too. The main thing is staying structured and organized. I utilize technology and my calendars and my notes, because I have a lot going on, and I tell people, if you don't see me writing it down, it's not gonna happen. You just gotta stay structured and organized. I also have to always still be a follower and have mentors that I look up to. Number one is God, it will always be God, and no one above that. Underneath that, I have my parents and my siblings - I'm the baby of my siblings, so I look up to them. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to have that mindset of wanting more in life and not just being content with a paycheck day-by-day. And then also my pastor, Michelle Fassett, and her husband, Elder Steven - they're my pastors of the church, they're my mentors, they're the ones that keep me insane and keep going and motivating me day by day, not just on Sundays.

I tell people every day that is starting a business that your mindset makes all the difference in the world. You have to speak the thing into existence. Don't look at your business as a small business - automatically look at it as a millionaire business. You want to have a millionaire mindset at everything it is that you do. Because of that, you'll start to act different, you'll do things different, and you'll treat it as such, and you'll get different results. Don't limit yourself and don't limit your business just on the internet or just on social media. It's a lot more to it, it's a lot more broader of an audience. My goal is to help everyone of all different audiences. I don't want to help people that's just Black, I don't want to help people that's just kids - I want to help everyone. It's not all about the money, but helping people all together, helping them reach their goals, or whatever it is that they want to do. Think big - there's no limit on it. We are our limits, and we are our excuses for why we're not here and here and here. So just think big.

My proudest moments are making people feel happy and making people feel good. I feel like that's the reason for me being here - to make people know that they're not alone and everything is gonna be okay. It's not all about the money for me. I like to help the community and help people build their business and influence them. My ultimate goal is to reach out all over the world. I come from abuse, I come from so many different backgrounds that I can relate to so many different people, from depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. I got some things I need to say. I'm God's mouthpiece right now, and I want to be able to say things to everyone all around the world, to touch and minister to people that may need to hear that, hey, it's going to be okay, this is not always what it looks like, you're gonna get through it. I don't even look like what I went through. I want to be able to talk to everyone all over the world and just let people hear what it is that I gotta say, because it could be one word that saves someone's life.
