Buy your first Rolls-Royce; they give you about an $80,000 discount off of any other ones that you buy if you’re up there at the high end. Oh, that's magnificent! That's magnificent! I want to get a flip. I want to start a BMW dealer selling Rolls-Royces and BMWs. Easy, yeah, easy, easy! Build up your payet, brother, and you’ll be in the house. That's it! Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready! It's been a long time coming for a person like you. And like I say again, you are the magnificent one. You're shining, and everybody can see that shine, and they love you. I love you; we appreciate you. Thank you, manab!

Oh yeah, the truth is there, the light is there; everybody can see it. They love it; they've been waiting for this for a long time. Long time overdue! Yeah, you're the one. We’re right behind you all the way. Thank you, brother. Yes, sir! And Mr. White Hat has one last thing for you. Yes, sir! Try not to eat too much of Sister Johnson's food on Thanksgiving; you’ll get the itis!

I'll try, brother, but if she’s got that big arm, I’m taking two plates! That’s nice! Yeah, you better bring some home too.

All right, I want to thank everybody for being here. I really appreciate it. I get my Mr. White [Music] here. I'm not gonna deny you, brother. Go ahead, let’s see. Zoom music, what’s your question, brother?

I wanted to know, man, at okay, you tell us how to go from like start to finish as far as like going when we get the shelf Corp or whatever, having the credit together, all that stuff. At which point do you suggest? And I know you ain't a consultant; you're not brokers, not finders, any of that stuff. I want to know, like, at which point, you know, with you raising funds or whatever, as far as like going to the banks, do you suggest doing buying businesses with the funds when you initially start or whatever? Or like at which point would you say would be a good number for you to start doing acquisition deals and stuff?

You can do acquisition deals. We want to make sure we get into business. We're businessmen, businessmen, right? Stand up! We’re businessmen; we’re not truck drivers. That’s just something I do. I’m not a football player; that’s just something I do. You know, I’m a capitalist. Why isn’t a football player saying, “I’m a capitalist”? Right? You know, I like the football players, the singers, the dancers, and all those people; they are now becoming business people. That’s a whole new thing going on right now.

Right? So let’s get on the bandwagon. You know, we as businessmen and businesswomen, and we can’t count out the women because this used to be a good old boys club. Let’s be honest. But do you know that Janet Yellen—and I ain’t joking—that’s her name, is Yellen, Miss Treasury? She’s the Treasury Department. Guess what they do? They print the money! Okay, so she’s the Secretary of the Treasury. I mean, who do you get higher than somebody who prints the money?

So we cannot say this is a good old boys club anymore. We have to catch up on our morality, respect them a little bit more, and start saying—or if they stop making babies and say, “I’ve had enough, I’m tired, I have no respect, I’m not having any more babies,” the world is over. No more babies, no more world! That’s the kind of power the women have, and they’re beginning to realize that. They’re like, “I’m Mother Earth, stop playing!” And they can multitask; they can do like 20 things at one time, and we sit there like focused. We can sit there and watch a football game all day, and they have accomplished in one day 50 million things while we’re watching football all day—the baby, the phone, the scheduling. Oh, don’t forget your tie! No, don’t wear that tie; we wore that tie last time!

That’s why these women are taking over business because they can think a million different ways. So don’t sleep on the women! Right? Hat off to them; about time they start recognizing who they are—Mother Earth!

Yeah, I hate the old mindset of women who think they were just put here to be babysitters or do all this like they can’t do nothing. Like, you got kids making millions off YouTube now! So like these young girls, especially like dating these days, they’re looking for a guy to take care of them, which I don’t mind. But I look at it like this: if you don’t need it, I got it. If you do need it, I don’t got it. But it’s up to you. It’s up to you. If she has that thought pattern, it’s up to you. If she looks up to you, she’ll follow you; she’ll walk by you. But if you come with that old yokie dope, she’s like, “Man, I don’t need you! I can multitask; I don’t need you!”

Right? Hey, listen, I like a woman who can do that so I can add to her equation. You feel me? Please, please, please! It’s gonna be a woman that’s G to be the one that’s gonna save this thing because all the time getting out behind, who do you think was there when we came in with all the blood on our backs and all this and that? And we came in there like, “Oh, she was the one putting all that stuff on our back and all that SB and fixing it up right.” It’s gonna be all right; it’s gonna be all right!

So this ain’t a good old boy. I ain’t preaching, but I’m just saying we got to start respecting each other. And this ain’t a black and white thing no more either because white folks are hurting too. That’s a fact! Don’t get it twisted; they’re hurting. They’re like, “Man, I need some money!” The only thing that matters today is rich and poor, and you don’t want to be in the part of that poor part. You know we don’t want that, and they’re giving it to you! They’re giving it to you!

So this ain’t a woman thing; this ain’t a man thing. I’m just saying, you know, pull together, work together, do your thing, care about bringing up your family. If you now bring the family up, now you got your little city that you live in, then you’re proud of that. Be a nice environment to fix that and just take it from there. You know, lay back, enjoy this thing, you know, stop working and working and working and working, and have some better respect because, my moms, look, you know how we grow up, us men. Mama, when the daddy is out, Mama’s the one taking care of the kids. They’re learning from her first, and they’re watching. They’re watching you!

Yeah, that’s a fact! I’m just saying, I’m just saying, I’m just saying! So I watched my mama do it, but you know she ain’t never had no dude to really pour into her and put her—I ain’t saying that a woman’s supposed to work. I don’t even believe in hard work for men or women, but at the same time, exactly! Speak a language!

Yeah, I mean, if that was halfway true, you know the people who built the country, the ones with all the money, you know that’s far from the truth. So that’s it! Amar said the soft life! Yeah, the soft life! You could still be the CEO or something! That’s how I look at it. Like, especially if we got kids, then you know, if I got a daughter with you or whatever, I want my—or my son too, you feel me? I want them to see like what the girl’s gonna learn from her mama, you feel me? And the guy’s gonna learn what kind of woman he’s supposed to choose from seeing who his father chose and who his mama is. That’s what he’s gonna look for.

And if you don’t have to worry about money, imagine how—imagine what you could do with your kids! Extraordinary things! Extraordinary things! Preach, brother! Preach!

All right, thank you, brother! Thank you, everybody, for being here. I’m Derek Whitehead, and we’re not brokers, we’re not finders, we’re not attorneys; we are consultants. And we are not even funders or finders. If we have anybody come on here that gives their information, they are affiliates, and anything that they say or anything I say is from our perspective. All right?

And since we believe everybody on here is a friend, and I truly believe everybody on here is a friend, I will give you this information freely, and I will continue giving you this information freely until everybody else catches on and starts doing the same thing. All right? God bless!

All right, so in leaving, I know it’s getting late. I want to thank everybody on the East Coast and all over for being here. We are a special group, a special group! Everybody not on here, so we all came together from all over the world to bring this energy and synergy right here. Everybody in the world is not on here, and everybody in the world is not meant to be rich. I know that’s a hard thing to say to everybody, but everybody’s not meant to be rich. But if you’re going to stay on here till I know what time it is, then it must be meant for you, right?

All right, so I want to end in a good time. I want to say thank you again, everybody, and thank you for all the kind words. And I do love you as much as you love me more! I want you to succeed, right? And I want everybody before the end of this year to say, “I’m on my journey, and I’m starting to do something.” I don’t want you to just keep coming on here and saying just asking questions. I want you to start getting it moving because I could teach all day, but knowledge is not power if you’re sitting there not doing nothing with it. It’s the application of knowledge that’s power.

So I want you to get up and get it popping, and don’t just listen to what I’m saying. Go in and take the words I’m saying to you and then look deeper into it. So next time you come here, you’ll be smarter than you were when you got here. All right? That’s the homework!

All right, so next time you come on, don’t be surprised if I’m not asking you, “What did you come up with?” I’m gonna start asking questions! All right?

Okay, so I want you to also understand your micro and your macro. What’s your billion-dollar idea? Your micro is just getting that money, but let’s go and get that billion dollars! This ain’t a million-dollar world no more; it’s a billion-dollar world!

So in saying that, I want to say I’m Derek Whitehead. I can’t be Martin Luther King; I can’t be Malcolm X; I can’t be Robert Kennedy or John Kennedy. Those are good, good men. You’re greater! You’re greater, bro! You’re greater! They had their time; this is your time! You feel me? You’re the new president, man!

Well, I’m trying to be Derek Whitehead! So I want to give to you what was not given to me. And in saying that, I want to end with this, as usual. I want to say who is going to spend all day, all night, losing that voice, all night trying to give you this information for free, and you’re gonna say thank you for nobody? Baby, baby, Whitehead! Let’s do it! Love you guys! Love you back!
