Since the onset of my life as an Entrepreneur the burden to Do Good has always been the driving force of why I do what I do.

When I used to work at a Bank I felt deeply burdened by the joblessness I witnessed as I passed people on my way to work every morning. I said to myself one day I want to have a company that provides low entry level jobs to people who are getting back on their feet. That desire led to the start of our Landscaping company, Integrity Home Solutions.

As a new resident to West Atlanta in 2010, I recognized the inaccurate perception of the beauty that existed in my neighborhood. I started a blog called Urban West Atl which later led to me becoming a Real Estate agent and forming a team that helped buyers find homes and plant themselves in my community.

Oftentimes, if you remove the pressure to make money and just focus on your callings and your burdens, God will provide an opportunity for you to make money.

Nowadays, what making money and doing good for me exists in a few different ways.

One way is having the flexibility to serve as the Co-Chair on the board of a really amazing non profit organization called Grove Park Renewal.

Grove Park Renewal was started as an effort to empower neighbors through quality & dignified housing. Much of the housing in Grove Park was dilapidated and owned by absentee landlords who had little interest in fostering community. Grove Park Renewal is developing these properties for the benefit of the current neighbors.

Most of Atlanta’s housing non-profits either serve the homeless or the middle income working class. Have you thought about who serves the people in the middle? Grove Park renewal does that.

Please consider joining with me and giving to this non-profit organization this Holiday season. Please select HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS when you give.

The 2nd way I make money and do good is saying yes to Real Estate Investing opportunities that come my way. If I am able to make more money, God is able to use my finances to solve more problems. The money we’ve made with Real Estate Investing has been given to so many GOOD things. From college assistance to struggling students, to paying for flights when an unexpected event occurs. I enjoy blessing my team with gifts and taking care of the bill for my family and friends. I love having the finances to bless people without thinking twice and I want you to have that ability as well.

How are you making money and doing good?
