I Don't Want Yo' Crumbs

Have you ever felt like your invitation to the head table of success was lost in the mail? That the only way you will ever experience wealth and prosperity is to hit some CEO over the head, grab their brass ring and make a run for it?

Yeah I know, you probably think I’m crazy but how many times have you said, Lord will it ever be my turn?

Throughout my 28 years in Corporate America, 8 companies, 10 managers, 12 job titles and 15 cubicle changes not once have I experienced a seat at the head table. However, I was always allowed to collect the crumbs that fell.

Some pieces were big chunks while others were so minuscule you would need a microscope just to see them. But that didn’t stop me from dreaming. That didn’t stop me from working hard just to finally be asked to move from catching the crumbs to dropping them.

So how do you break through? Let’s look back at the people who dropped the crumbs, where they fell and how I used them. Armed with that information, I’m sure you’ll understand how I came to say, No Thanks…I Don’t Want Yo Crumbs”.
