Iwas honored to be featured on the front cover of Code M magazine a few months ago with my wife as we discussed marriage and money. We were amazed with all the positive responses from readers, across America and even other countries.

Now, I’m excited to share ideas that I believe will help you win in business and in your personal life with this new column.

This month’s article is focused on women and their incredible impact on our country and the world. I’ve been blessed to have had many powerful women as guests on my Willie Jolley Wealthy Ways Show on Sirius XM. And, in this article,

I share some of the life lessons from women who have profoundly impacted my thinking and I’m confident they’ll positively impact yours as well.

I’ll start with my wife, Dee Taylor-Jolley. One of the most popular and most requested interviews I have every season on my Sirius XM show is the one I do with Dee. Not only does she share great advice on marriage and relationships, but she also talks about wealth creation and financial freedom.

In terms of relationships, Dee is adamant that men must be clear on two things that women need. Those two things are intimacy and security! She reminds us that intimacy is not always sex, but if handled correctly, it can lead to sex! Then security, which is a confidence that a man can give to a woman that lets her know, for sure, that he has her covered. And that he will take care of her, physically, emotionally and if necessary, financially.

In terms of finances, Dee encourages men and women to first discover their money personalities (how they think about and manage their money); than learn to save more, so they can invest more to work toward their financial freedom. And never, ever give your financial future over to someone else to manage without your having knowledge of how that money is being managed. If you want to earn more money, you must be willing to do the work to learn more about growing and managing your own money!

Another woman who had a tremendous impact on my thinking was the late great restauranteur and style icon, B Smith. B Smith was a guest on my Sirius XM show several times and always gave great ideas for business, relationships and life.

Here are a few of the pearls she shared:

The best relationships are 40% - 40% with 20% swinging between both parties. They each have important stakes but neither has controlling interest!

Love should be like a seesaw, where each person gets some time at the top where each can experience the enjoyment of the rare air.

Successful marriages must have Lust & Trust. Lust without trust will be a bust; and trust without lust is like dating a relative and it will turn to rust!

To be successful in business you must be willing to think big, take massive actions and never give up! Some of the things you try will fail but some will make you wealthy if you just

don’t stop trying.

To succeed you must be willing to stand on a mountain of No’s in order to get one Yes!

Sheila Johnson, co-founder of B.E.T. (Black Entertainment Television) is another female who has had a great impact on me as a result of my interviews with her. She’s one of America’s few black female billionaires, owner of the Washington Mystics WBNA team and owner of the Salamander luxury hotel brand. Sheila Johnson shared these lessons for success:

1.The salamander was chosen for her business brand for a salamander can lose the limb in a trap but can generate another one! They may be knocked down but find a way to continue to comeback stronger!

2.Avoid toxic people. Stay away from crazy activities. Be like a duck and let stuff roll off your back. Stay on your path and away from the negative!

3.Set goals and think big but stay flexible. Don’t let setbacks stop you from creating big success stories in your life. These three women have made an indelible impact on my success, both personally and professionally! ●

I hope you will listen to these interviews on my Willie Jolley Wealthy Ways Podcast, as well my Sirius XM Show on Channel 141 every Saturday at 4 pm ET, and then again on Tuesday and Thursday at 6 pm ET. These interviews are guaranteed to transform your life!
