A week ago I was at 7 options now I’m down to 3 🤔 🤔 💭
When making tough decisions, follow a clear order of procedure. First, weigh your options. Then seek guidance from the Lord, asking him to reveal signs on the path toward your purpose. Take notes, journal, pray, and talk with loved ones who truly know your mission and vision. After that, —no emotions driving the decision, even if it feels challenging. Then ask yourself: what is best for you,,,mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially? Make a decision, but consider two alternative routes—for the “What If” factor.
That’s where I am today with Steaks and Cakes. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 options. Thank you, Lord, for your guidance. Thank you, Ms. Nicole (my wife), for trusting and believing in my decisions. And thank you to my Southside family—our “Kinfolks”—and even our hating a*z cousin 😂 you all play a big part in this decision. 
9 years and 7 months ago, I committed to doing ten flat years for this game (the restaurant) and planned to reevaluate then. I now have 5 months left on this ten-year journey. Decisions has to be made. Has it treated me well? Yes. Has it been the most challenging? Yes. I had an idea, stood on it, and built something from nothing with no handouts or resources, 100% independently.
Today, we offer more cheesesteak items than any other business in Texas—all from this one location. But the most important part is that I found God here, not in a church or at Granny’s house, but right in the kitchen, in the heart of South Dallas. Despite the stigma of the hood, I built a brand in the mud. Our reviews reflect the truth; I never paid a company to remove bad reviews—just took the punches and kept moving.
We’re ranked among the top three businesses in the downtown/southern area and in the top 50 metropolitan-wide. There’s nothing hood about that, and we did it independently for a mix of reasons—good and bad.
Just know, when you hear the whole story, we did the impossible—from Crumbs to Bricks.
Now, What’s next???? 🤔
