Nehemiah Davis: Create Your Circle of Greatness

Nehemiah Davis is a true example of what one can achieve if they try. At the age of 31, he is an award-winning author, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He was raised by his mother and grandmother, and even though the odds may have been against him, he started his first business at age 21 and started giving back almost immediately. He now runs three businesses and the Nehemiah Davis Foundation which helps disadvantaged youth, feeds the homeless in Philadelphia, and helps people all around the world. Episode Summary: It's time for part two of the Results NOT Resolutions series. Nehemiah Davis is here to talk about how every one of us deserves our own circle of greatness. We talk about how Nehemiah and I met. Nehemiah shares what the circle of greatness is. He also talks about seeking counsel from mentors who have done what you want to do and expanding your mind. He shares his story and how changing your mindset can change your life. We also talk about entrepreneurship, giving back, finding mentors, and having a network.   CLIFF NOTES An Instagram profile and a chance meeting on the street led to Nehemiah being able to propose on the Steve Harvey show thanks to Patrice. That is the power of relationships and not looking for anything in return. We are blessed to be a blessing by creating connections for people and not expecting anything in return. The circle of greatness is a community that connects people that can help support one another. It's great when one person creates connections, but it's even greater when it's an entire community creating connections. Keeping resources in the circle and having people smarter and sharper than you in your circle is the key to success. It's important to seek wise advice and counsel from people who have done it. If you want to become a millionaire, learn from a millionaire. Now is the best time to get into entrepreneurship and create your wealth. Nehemiah teaches kids how to be entrepreneurs and create their own jobs. It’s so important to learn the mindset.
