Mind the Business That Pays You
Mind the business that pays you.
That’s it. That’s the message.
Sounds simple, right?
It should be. But we all slip sometimes.
Let’s break it down real easy:
“Mind” means to care for.
“Business” isn’t just your job — it’s anything that feeds your soul, your goals, or your peace.
And “pays you”? That’s what gives back — in joy, growth, love, money, or peace of mind.
So when we say “mind the business that pays you,” we mean:
Water your own grass.
Take care of your home.
Protect your peace.
Guard your energy.
Stay focused on your own path.
Sometimes we get too caught up in what other people are doing… scrolling, comparing, judging, chasing.
We forget to check in on our own yard.
We forget to notice the weeds growing tall around our goals.
We forget to ask: Am I showing up for my own greatness today?
Let’s make this clear:
This isn’t about ignoring others.
It’s about pouring into yourself first.
Because when your head is on straight, and your heart is at peace…you show up better for everything else.
So what does “business that pays you” look like?
It might be your job — but only if it feeds more than just bills.
It might be your craft, your purpose, or your healing journey.
It might be your family, your faith, or your fitness.
It might be your rest. Yes, even your rest.
Whatever it is, protect it.
Make time for it.
Speak life into it.
And don’t let the noise of the world distract you from it.
Now here’s the part where we “keep it real”:
Some folks don’t like this message.
They say it's “too bold” or “makes them uncomfortable.”
And that’s okay.
Not every message is for every person at every time.
But for the ones who feel this in their chest?
You already know…this is a wake-up call.
So don’t shrink to make others comfortable.
Wear your greatness until you believe it… and then wear it some more.
That’s exactly why we created our mtbtpy. series over at Y/NG GR8TNESS. Not just for style. Not just for trends.
It’s merch with a message.
A daily reminder to stay in alignment with your greatness — no matter who’s watching.

Before you go...
let’s pause for a moment...
Take 10 seconds right now and ask yourself:
What’s one thing I need to return my focus to?
What “business” have I been ignoring?
What actually pays me?
(Go ahead. Think about it. We’ll wait.)
...
Got it?
Good.
NOW GO MIND IT.
