      Introduction

      Everybody has something to say. It’s like body parts; we all have them. What you do with them and how you treat them is to each their own. If you are wondering, as you scan the title, will this book be filled with strong opinions, thoughts, and ideas? To answer your question, I say loudly, Yes. I am not the woman to bite my tongue, and what I say goes. I set a high standard for myself, and if you set high standards for yourself–or are open to a different approach–I invite you to my world.

      Some may think I am too bold, assertive, loud, or opinionated. I can tell you this: assuming I cared about their opinions, I would say they are picking up what I am putting down, for real, - meaning they are correct. I am very assertive, I know how to speak my mind, I talk loud, and I am bold. The question too many don’t care to ask is, Why? Why Melvina, are you so loud? I have been half-deaf for a very long time. I speak loudly so that I can hear and reassure myself by hearing my own voice.

      Do you know how hard it is to be half-deaf in the hood? Do you think people are considerate when they whisper or speak beneath their breath? Do you think every noise piercing the air I hear, or it stirs in me the same response it does for you? It doesn’t! I had to learn differently, talk differently, and take a different level of focus for everything I did. I couldn’t rely on my senses because some of my challenges prevented me from using them in the same way as others.

      I will talk more about my disabilities later in the book, but honestly, that is a conversation all to itself. I never asked someone to feel sorry for me or to throw me a pity party. I learned quickly that having an excuse to fail is not a good enough reason to allow it to happen. Failure is NOT an option for me! Challenges come to everybody, and there are always people who have learned how to win despite their problems and challenges.

      I am that person! I refuse to lose, and I do not play to fail. Have I failed upward along the way? Sure, I have. I’ve been fired before, and I know how it feels. So, when I have had to fire people as a boss, I have no hard feelings whatsoever for my choices. I wasn’t raised with a silver spoon in my mouth, and I have a story like everybody else.

      I grew up with both my parents in the home, and I enjoyed a nuclear family. Not every day do you meet a strong black family with a child born into marriage; the father and mother remain married, loving each other for over 50 years. But I have that kind of background, and I love it. I make no apologies for how I feel nor for what I have come to realize is true.

      If you don’t like my boldness and honesty, I am not offended if you close this book right now, but I am going to tell you this: I am going to give you everything I got to help you win in life. Come Hell or High Water!" I have been broke, lights cut off, and struggling to make ends meet. I got married over 25 years ago and I am still happily married. I raised a nuclear family of three girls, now adults, just like the one I came from. I lay the law down for my expectations, and everyone around me has to raise the bar!

      I wrote this book for women who are ready to be challenged healthily. Who are tired of being told they cannot win by their thoughts, the people they work for, education limitations, or financial constraints. Everything doesn’t need money thrown at it. Sometimes, you need to woman up, change your mindset, and fix your position to win! Make no apologies for what must be done to accomplish your purpose and goals.

      Get rid of that little girl voice that tells you old sayings, taboos, and projects limitations on your life. I was everything under the sun, but today I am doing things many would have said couldn’t be done! I am a business owner and an influencer in my space (Medical Coding). I help families daily, volunteer, raised my children, and am happily married. To have a successful career and marriage makes me unique in this world. What will be your unique factor?

      Right now, I want you to commit to casting off every limitation, negative thought, or challenge coming your way. I promise the moment you pick this book up, you will have some challenges thrown at you. There are things in the universe fighting your progress, but overcome the challenges anyway! Don’t quit, don’t stop, and please kill the excuses.

      I do not have time for people’s bitchin’ sessions and complaining about why their lives are not the way they want them to be–and neither should you. I want you to do something most people don’t about their problems, work to solve them! For 10, 20, or 30 years we both know people who ain’t done nothing but complain, live a neutral life, or stay in the rat race. You have to understand that if you want something and you want it badly enough, you have to work hard and smart to get it.

      Having no goals or aspirations and being stuck in neutral with the infamous bitchin’ sessions will do nothing and get you nothing! If this is YOU–LAWD I pray it is not, keep turning the pages…. If you want something and are okay with working smart, I invite you to turn the page with me.

      In the Beginning

      Have you ever seen people that you truly admired? I don’t mean somebody in a magazine showing you muscles you wish you had, but a good character you know you would like to mimic. I know as women, we think we will identify with our mothers. She is a woman and someday I will be too. You may feel as you see your mother, I want to be just like them. I honestly don’t remember saying that growing up exactly–let me be honest. Yes, I grew up with a loving mother who demonstrated she loved us. She was caring and supportive of my father. It seems as if they had an unspoken understanding. Dad lays the foundation, and my mother would support him.

      During their marriage, happy to say they still are married, the two of them worked out an understanding and love that stabilized our family. I will always be grateful for their love and willingness to keep the family together. Is it normal in your family like in mind, that children tend to gravitate toward one parent more than another?

      My connection to both of my parents is different. I don’t love either one less, but I had a natural closeness with my father. And I couldn’t tell you when it formed. If you are honest, your relationship with your father differs from your mother’s, right? Come on, speak up; I can’t hear you. I remember being little and hanging out with my
