Underground Millionaire

I came from NO MONEY, made a ton of money in the Silicon Valley, lost money, and made money again.

Market Survival Book

Market Survival Book

Wanted to introduce my fans to author Gerard Spinks. I am a writer and publisher of all of my book titles. I have written three seminal writings “How To Be Rich, Nicca”, “The Ballers Guide to Major Figure$”, and “The Poor Mans Guide to the Rich Mans World”.

All of my titles are self-help books designed for the urban entrepreneur. My books are designed for the inner city, urban person who is very entrepreneurial and needs to know exactly how to bootstrap their business and make money out of very hard conditions and situations. 

Why are these books focused on the inner city?  I grew up in the inner city.  I grew up with just my mother and my siblings.  I grew up on food stamps and welfare checks.  I became a millionaire without all of the things that everyone said that I needed as a kid.  I did NOT do this with a strong father figure and with a trust fund.  I made money from super hard work, a super belief in God, a super MOTHER, and a super EFFORT to succeed.  

I learned how to put the right people around me to get to my goals.  I learned how to goal set and actualize those goals with the help of God.  I am NOW giving that back to the inner city and all of my fans.  I came from NO MONEY, made a lot of money in the Silicon Valley as a software developer of XML software, lost a lot of money when the market tanked, and climbed back up the hill to make money again and still building.

The Floyd Mayweather Jr. you thought you knew

Floyd Mayweather Foundation’s mission statement is: To empower and encourage community alliances, impact youth leadership, and strengthen family foundations through construction, entrepreneurialism and education resulting in a healthier community. The foundation’s focus is on health and wellness, economic growth and development, and youth education.

Many people think they know the public persona of Money Mayweather. People think because they see him on tv rollerskating through his mansion on HBO that he’s a prude and only cares about money and himself. This is far from the truth as Floyd Mayweather Jr. is, like most successful multi-milionaires, a master at personal branding and public relations. He knows that people will flock to him if he talks crazy and flaunts around like he doesn’t care about anything except money. This is so far from the real Floyd Mayweather Jr. it’s not even funny.

Floyd Mayweather Foundation gives back to the community

Floyd Mayweather Foundation gives back to the community

The real Pretty Boy Floyd is a saint and has the heart of a true champion and giving person. The Floyd Mayweather Foundation’s mission statement is: To empower and encourage community alliances, impact youth leadership, and strengthen family foundations through construction, entrepreneurialism and education resulting in a healthier community. The foundation’s focus is on health and wellness, economic growth and development, and youth education. The Mayweather Foundation will create conditions where residents of all economic levels are able to achieve their maximum health and wellness potential and reduce threats to quality of life related to greater urbanization among other social responsibilities.

The bottom line is that before anyone judge’s Money Mayweather, I encourage all to take a deeper look Beyond the Bling to see what’s really going on and how he really impacts the community at large. Yes, Floyd Money Mayweather is young, black, and famous and YES he cares about the well being of the community at large.

Brett Favre Teaches Us To Keep Believing

Brett Favre has done a wonderful thing for America. He epitomizes success, comebacks and working through adversity when no one believes in you anymore. I love this story of triumph because Brett proved that you can defy age or any negative thing that humans put on you. People always typically can only see what is [...]

Brett Favre has done a wonderful thing for America. He epitomizes success, comebacks and working through adversity when no one believes in you anymore. I love this story of triumph because Brett proved that you can defy age or any negative thing that humans put on you.

People always typically can only see what is in front of them. Most humans can never see what’s inside your heart. Favre proves that with true heart you can do anything and achieve anything within reason. You just have to know your own limits, your own capabilities, your own strengths, and most importantly, your own weaknesses. This is what we should all learn from Brett Favre in this victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, he can still play. Yes, he could do it again. No, he doesn’t live up to any one else’s limits placed upon him. Neither do I. Neither should you.

LONDON, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 15: Daredevil motorcyclist Robbie Knievel attends a photocall at The Hospital Club on December 15, 2009 in London, England. Son of Evel Knievel, Robbie Knievel, announced plans to make a record attempt to beat his father’s failed attempt in 1975, and jump across 16 double-decker buses in London on May 22, 2010. I have to give it to this guy Robbie Knieval and his pops Evel Knieval. These dudes GO HARD and are not afraid to at least attempt the impossible.

Chiefs Running Back Larry Johnson Suspended for Tweets

Proving that social media networks can get you fired if you don’t watch what you say, the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs running back, Larry Johnson, has been suspended by the team for tweeting gay slurs and negative comments about his coaching staff. For some strange reason that I cannot understand, people mistakenly believe that Twitter [...]

Proving that social media networks can get you fired if you don’t watch what you say, the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs running back, Larry Johnson, has been suspended by the team for tweeting gay slurs and negative comments about his coaching staff. For some strange reason that I cannot understand, people mistakenly believe that Twitter is somehow a closed network and that they are sharing information privately between friends. Epic fail.

What’s the lesson? Stop sharing stuff that would make your employers embarrassed, angry, and get you a one way ticket to the unemployment line. Twitter and Facebook are NOT private networks and you are speaking in a public place. Please start believing it.

Making Athletes Make Money

Everyone hears about athletes and their super sized contracts.

Everyone hears about athletes and their super sized contracts. The reality is that athletes more than ever need to focus on earning money off the field, court, or baseball diamond in order to secure their future. This is what we refer to as passive income. Playing sports is considered earned income. This means that you only get paid to play ball.

On top of that, if you get injured, in most cases, you will not get paid. In professional football, you get paid based upon incentives and meeting certain measured accomplishments on the field. If you don’t meet certain on the field goals, you don’t get paid. Athletes and their representatives need to always focus on off the court or off the field money. But how?

Bill Duffy, owner of BDA Sports in Walnut Creek, California, is one of the premiere sports agencies in the NBA. The company has a sports marketing division of their agency that helps athletes earn passive income and get endorsement deals and make other money. BDA does more than just focus on endorsements. They focus on the athletes image to the community and build personal brand awareness of the athlete to consumers and the public.

BDA Sports has an impressive roster of talent that includes the NBA’s best athletes such as Steve Nash, Rajon Rondo, Yao Ming, Greg Oden and others.
