NO Twitter, facebook, nor have I ever texted. My husband pushed me out on the blogs a few years ago to share my financial experience with non-clients. Now he’s obsessing about me being open to him creating my own blog which is of no interest to me.

I’ll let you know the next time we’re in Atlanta so the three of us can hook up. In the interim, you must pursue the Enrolled Agent and Series 65 designations which will open TREMENDOUS doors to you. I recommend using Arthur EA Review to study for the Enrolled Agent exam and Empire StockBroker Training Institute to study for the Series 65 exam.

Once you pass the Series 65 I will assist you with creating an Investment Advisory Brochure to register with the State of GA as an Investment Adviser which has become unbelievably painstaking to Independent Advisers due to the implementation of Dodd Frank.

This time of the year I roll 12 months into 2 months so the earliest I’ll be able to communicate with you again will be March, Peace & LOVE!

Back at you Ramses.

You will just be spinnig your wheels if you don’t pursue the Series 65 “shortest route” to tap into the Financial Industry or you will have to take the Series 7 and Series 66 which may require sponsorship from a Brokerage Wire House or you can pursue training to become a Certified Financial Planner which is a process that can take several years to complete.

The Series 65 License allows you to become a Registered Investment Adviser virtually overnight and there are no Continued Education Requirements which can be extremely expensive with the Series 7/66 and Certfied Financial Planner designations.

I recommend that if you are already in taxation and do not have the Enrolled Agent designation, do this before the Series 65 because taxation is the cornerstone of everything ie. wealth management, estate planning, financial planning, investment advising, etc. and with the Enrolled Agent “EA” designation you will be able to represent taxpayers with ALL Administrative levels of the IRS to include audits, collections, offer in compromise, release of liens/levies, innocent/injured spouse claims, etc.

Taxation is the most lucrative industry with nominal startup costs where you can gain investment advising experience by assisting your clients with their 401k plan choices “free of charge” until you pass the Series 65 and become a Registered Investment Adviser which will more than likely be your clients only form of retirement planning.

Many Attorneys and CPAs have pursued becoming an Enrolled Agent because we are the only tax professionals that are tested on our knowledge of taxation in relation to 1. Individuals 2. Businesses and 3. Representation, Practice and Procedures where we have a federally authorized license issued by the United States Treasury. Just google Enrolled Agent or go to http://www.irs.gov and research the Enrolled Agent designation.

By the way, A Federal Judge has ruled against the IRS for requiring that Paid Preparers be licensed and undergo continuing education annually which is a HUGE victory for the little guy who’s trying to come up. TIME to grind!

It will be black people on here who years later will remember the wrods I worte on here and think to themselves “damn it used to be this brother on this website saying some real shit but most of us shunned him. damn we should have listen to him.” I never came on here looking for popularity: I came on this site speaking truth and even though truth hurts, it’s freeing at the same time. That’s the beauty of it. But because blacks reject truth, it let’s me know that they don’t seek freedom. they revel in slavery and I am not against slavery against those who reject knowledge. When you seek knowledge, you don’t need leaders. You lead yourself.

Peace @hoodgirl…girl I will always send positive vibes your way because your way of thinking represents the way women need to think in order to be successful. Not once have I seen you come on this with the typical emotional, incoherent arguments most females come with which is actually refreshing. You respect gorillas!!!! Lol….That’s rare in this day and time. What woman wouldn’t respect a Man who speak as I do? I mean I speak about not running through multiple women, investing in men and women who are about moving forward business wise, and offer information that’s conducive to making that happen. Yet majority of the time, men and women get caught up in these emotional sparring matches that will keep most of these people on here begging Obama for a jobs program broke. I nevr speak in a subservient tone when it comes to asking the government for assistance because I have all the aid I need: control over my body and thought. And with this freedom of thought, I choose to gravitate towards information that will bring me billions. I am itching to crack on this book called “Investment Banking Explained” because ultimately I plan on having my own chain of banks in the next five years. Now you would think that black people would gravitate towards me, especially women. However I get those who hate themselves, thus making it inevitable they will hate me because I look like them as well. And this is why I had to cut black people off as a collective. Not you. But the collective. I can talk to you all day hoodgirl because you’re about getting gwap!!!! There is nothing emotional about the necessity of putting food in your mouth for nourishment. I live my life as if slavery has never happened and since I adopted this policy, it has allowed me to focus on my present state and future. I told my professor in 2006 that I came in this world as a worker but I’m leaving as an owner. Since I became a business owner, my thought patterns has shifted tremendously and i will never go back to that broke folks doctrine black people subscribe to. This is where me an black folks part. Forever!!! I wasn’t put on this planet to be poor. I know this with every fiber of my being. Hell do I talk like I have a poor mentality? LOL. You would swear I had a billion dollars in the bank now. So when I attain it, niggas won’t be able to say “oh since he got money now he changed.” Nah people wil say “nah he talked like this when he didn’t have all that money so it’s real.” I appreciate that info you gave me on investment analyst and plan on taking the course this year along with some wealth management tax courses as well along with some banking courses. I’m not playing with niggas anymore and I will leave them in the soup line cause it seems that’s where they are most comfortable: begging for food and handouts. Not me. Got way too much pride to let myself be put in that position and I was hoping that the end of the world didn’t come in 2012 because i was waiting to do battle on this economic front. While blacks complain about the struggle, I thank God for the struggle we’ve endured because if I can go through the things I’ve went thru and end up owning my own banks, niggas will never be able to use excuses. It’s an honor to meet this challenge that most black men on here cry about. I pull excalibur from the stone and look forward to swinging it. Alexander great when he was at the height of his power invaded India and came across this Indian ruler of a certain province who refused to surrender to him. When he was finally captured Alexander asked him “why did you continue to fight knowing who you were fighting against?” The ruler replied “I was never prepared to surrender. I would have preferred death than surrender.” Because Alexander respected battle, and the honor this man possessed, he not only spared his life, he allowed him to keep his province and rule with no interference. Black people are stuck in a 1960-1970 notion of fighting the “State” thinking that open rebellion will get them the freedom they seek. This is outdated and quite stupid actually when the reality these niggas have no weaponry to fight with. The battle that one must fight now is the devil within yourself that keeps one in a slave state. All I See black people do on here is criticize white folks and a president who is part Caucasian as if they have no culpability in their present state of affairs. This unwillingness to accept responsibility for their self-inflicted wounds (like integration) is childish and demonstrates the stereotype of whites saying blacks are “childlike” has merit. But what’s so funny is the fact that majority of black people on here are employed by some white person!!!!! I would never let these niggas make me feel like I don’t know what I’m talking about because I know I’m not crazy. This is warfare and in war you will see comrades get hit on the battlefield and you have to make split second decisions on whether to try to save them or to keep moving forward. I’m not saying don’t offer assistance to those who are in a position to receive it. But it makes no sense to try to offer someone assistance on the battlefield who limbs are blown off. Trying to assist people who are pass the point of no return will get you harmed yourself and in my best estimation, most black people are pass the point of no return because they are like the only people in this country who refuse to come together and build with each other. I got brothers and sisters in South America who look like me that I call family as well and they are much more numerous than the what 40 million here. Brazil has like 90 million people of melanin descent alone. I don’t have the time nor patience for a group of people who won’t invest in themselves. When you don’t invest in yourself, you are telling people that you are worthless so what do I look like coming up with an organization to teach you you’re worth something? I think you might know you better than me and I’m gonna take your inaction as evidence that you’re not worth a half of penny to invest in. I love the story you gave about the alcoholic brother because it proved what i said. Damn addicts got sense to get their shit together when their is something on the line, while other blacks keep regurgitating weak social science arguments I got tired of hearing in 2006. I’m like Lot in Sodom. God telling me to leave and I am leaving these people behind and I am not looking back because my heart is not with them anymore especially when they kill a man like Malcolm in front of his wife and daughters. I measure blacks by Malcolm’s life and what they did to him was comparable to what Jews did to Jesus and that’s how I know the original Jews were black. It just sounds like some shit niggas do because they are just hateful like that towards their messengers. Noble Drew Ali, Malcolm, Marcus Garvey, and countless others have been betrayed by niggas. Judgement is upon there heads collectively and like the scripture says there will only be a remnant who retains the favor of God and by the information I keep coming across in terms of spiritual science and materials science (commerce) I know I have God’s favor and that’s all I need. peace Queen

@Ramses, People change themselves when they feel the need to. Addicts teach us this.

I had a tax client who was a former Vietnam Veteran that ALWAYS came to the office extremely intoxicated. This gentleman’s eyes were bloodshot red. Suddenly one year he came into the office and I couldn’t pin point what was so different about him.

Finally I asked the gentleman what was different about him because I knew there was a tremendous change in his disposition but couldn’t quite put my hands on it. He smiled and said he lost his brother who was his Payee Representative that never released his Veteran’s Disability Benefits to him unless hw was sober.

The gentleman went on to say that when his brother passed he didn’t want to take another sip of alcohol. Just like that he change his destructive behavior. His story was so inspiring to me because I had seen him in such a destructive state and at that moment saw him WINNING so I told him as long as I had my business I would give sevices to him FREE of charge.

Well he and I did our dance for many years until he joined his brother through the pearly gates. Ramses you are ABSOLUTELY correct, people change themselves when they feel the need to.

FYI: It’s tax time you should be chasing paper at a minimum 20 hours daily. There’s alot of “GWOP” out here, Peace & LOVE!

Yeah we differ on that and that’s fine….my outlook on life is obviously from a male perspective and men tend to take the long view in terms of strategies…I look at this situation as a war and when you recognize that it is one, then you have to devise strategies that will ensure your survival. I speak the way I do because I am about my survival. I want my genes to replicate and therefore if a society doesn’t offer the best women possible, based on my cultural values to do this, then quite naturally I have to find other means to satisfy this goal. Like Prodgy from Mobb Deep said years ago on the song “Survival of the Fittest” “there’s a war going on outside no man is safe from.” To many black people act in a way that is not conducive to their survival and that’s fine for them. However, it’s not fine for me because I place high expectations on myself to get the best of this world and in the hereafter. And I definitely have no time trying to make serious moves with people who are not serious minded. It’s the “mother” in you that is optimistic about your people and I get that and I will not bash you for wanting to believe in them. However it’s like the dynamics of family. A mother is a child’s first teacher. She teaches the children the law. The father is the enforcer of the law. When your mother says “if you keep acting like this I will call your father” your butt cheeks get real tight. There are times where the mother does not want the father to enforce law because she thinks she can influence the child to do better and sometimes she can. But when it’s clear the child has tuned the mother out, that’s when you have to bring in the big guns (father). The black community has had too much mother, and not enough father and American culture in general. This is why you have so many kids (and adults) walking around with mohawks, dressing improperly, and not knowing how to speak coherently and unable to express a complete thought. We have celebrated the notion of the “individual’ at the expense of the social fabric. It’s been proven to me on this site that most people (male and females) hate the fatherly perspective and despise also women of your caliber who don’t need to hoop and holler to get their points across and don’t consider themselves weak by giving men basic human respect. So it is clear that change is not what our people really want because if they did, they would change their behavior and the way they viewed life. But i definitely will not be putting my life, nor any chance of happiness on hold for the notion of changing people. People change themselves when they feel the need to. Addicts teach us this. So if an addict can change their self-destructive ways, what are black people’s excuse when it comes to their immoral ways? I watched my father fight emotional issues and substance abuse and redeem himself. However, he was able to do this by coming back to what he was taught: God. If black people are not feeling God, then I am not feeling them and this is how I easily write them off because when God gets tired of them he wipes them out. I am tired of them so I can only imagine how God feels. I didn’t write the law but I hold it dear and will always choose it over any sill notion of race.

@Ramses Thank you very much for the kind words. It was a lovely experience, in an environment in which the gentleman were free to assume that they were in the presence of ladies… and so it came about. Everyone behaved appropriately, which shows two things:

1. The basic understanding of how men and women are to treat each other is not yet gone from this particular community (even in the stress San Francisco provides)

2. Good leadership deselects drama, and makes it easier for people to be on their best behavior. The event is run by some serious-minded brothas and sistas who are having no nonsense, and thus, over the years, a number of people who are looking from relief from drama and to actually get some things done have found a place to work together.

That suggests to me that all is not yet lost, so long as condition 2 can be established, for condition 1 has not yet been obliterated among North American Blacks… though I recognize that is one of those areas where we differ in opinion.
