They laughed at me in high school. The mean girls with perfect hair and sharp tongues who made it their mission to remind me I didn’t belong. I wasn’t wearing designer labels—I was washing dishes after school. But what they didn’t know was that every insult, every side-eye, every whispered joke was planting a seed. A seed of resilience. A mindset that would one day turn dishwater into digital wealth. This isn’t just a glow-up story—it’s a mindset revolution. And it started the moment I stopped shrinking and decided to build a life they couldn’t ignore.
👑 Millionaire Mindset: Part 2 — From Dishwater Deals to Sunday Royalty
Welcome to high school.
Where I left behind my spelling bee win, my junior high cheer uniform, and the dishwashing gloves I couldn’t stand.
We didn’t have a dishwasher—unless you count me.
But my daddy, ever the dealmaker, struck a bargain:
“Make straight A’s, and I’ll buy you a dishwasher.”
That was my first real negotiation.
And let’s just say… I never washed another dish by hand again.
School wasn’t easy.
The mean girls made sure of that.
But in their absence, I found time to study harder, babysit more, and stack my coins.
They thought they were breaking me—but they were building my discipline.
Still, the best lessons didn’t come from textbooks.
They came from my grandma.
She didn’t have much, but she never lacked anything.
“If something’s needed, God will provide,” she’d say with full faith.
She gave what she had—her time, her love, her service.
She even volunteered as the church cemetery overseer, because giving was her currency.
And every Sunday?
Her little trailer turned into the most exclusive event in town.
Sunday lunch at Grannie’s was the social event of the week.
My cousins—cool, confident, and popular across three counties—would show up like royalty.
And the best part?
They brought their friends.
At school, I might’ve felt unseen.
But at Grannie’s?
I was royalty.
I was seated at the table with the coolest kids in the region, laughing, eating, and soaking up the kind of love that makes you feel ten feet tall.
And after dessert?
We’d gather around the table for Texas Hold’em—betting coins, cracking jokes, and learning life.
That’s where I learned to read people, manage emotions, and play the long game.
It wasn’t just a card game—it was a masterclass in strategy, community, and confidence.
Those Sundays weren’t just meals.
They were mindset training.
They were proof that wealth isn’t always in your wallet—it’s in your roots, your rituals, and your relationships.
At school, I felt invisible.
At Grannie’s, I was seen.
If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong—remember, your table might just be waiting for you somewhere else.
