"It's not hard to be successful when you realize how valuable you are." John W. Barfield
This resonated with me. 🥺
THANK YOU! BLACK PEOPLE WAKE UP!
Just found out he passed away in 2018 😭😭😭😭. So humble and full of wisdom. Thank you sir!
I actually got a chance to work with John Barfield years ago on one of his endeavors. As such, I was invited to his house with others and met both him and his wife. I am not overstating this when I say that he was one of the kindest, intelligent, and giving people I had ever met. I remember going into his lower area of his house where a map hung with many pins in it. I asked, "are these the places you wish to go?". His answered with a smile, "these are all the places I have been". Even though I was standing in a house that was impressive to say the least, and knew at this point that he had been around the world, he remained humbled even in his answer to me. Truly a great man and American!
good video... i started my own business a few years ago after being fired from my job.... made me realize i never want to go thru something like that again in life... now i have my own business, own home, own car, take care of my kids... i'm winning... one of the best moves i ever made in my life i have a video on my page speaking about my experience... keep the videos coming this was a good video for sure with some good pointers
He's clearly intelligent & good with numbers; his gentle manners & speech are impressive. Looking forward to the documentary!
Money = less stress & life longevity

Take A Chance truth
Great interview, more black Americans need to learn about him and his way of thinking.
Great man of God, including in business and relationships with others! I had the pleasure of being around John Barfield (Brother Barfield as we affectionately called him when my family attended Messiah's Temple in Ypsilanti MI) from the 3rd to 8th grade. He took time with the young people in the Church and would have the young men at his home occasionally and take us on walking trips from Ypsi to Ford Park in Ann Arbor. Always a gentleman, kind, and considerate of us and our parents. Such fond memories.
I remember hearing he was a millionaire business owner back then (first one I ever knew) but didn't really know what that meant because he never spoke on those terms. Yet, as I moved away to Lansing MI in the 9th grade and begin to understand a bit more about his entrepreneurial journey and his demeanor I marveled and desired to have a similar Christlike character as I grew up. I didn't quite live up to that once I got to college, but I did come back to it 10 years later and though I had no contact with him at this point I learned lessons I believe he, by God's grace, was teaching us about humility, meekness, and service to others as we move forward and get wealth in this world. Most importantly, that the wealth of this world will not be much good to you if you lose your soul and fail to send treasure ahead to Heaven via your relationship with Jesus Christ and how you treat and serve others.
I am truly blessed to have known Brother Barfield and to keep up with his legacy. I know he is a part of the reason why I am now a multi-millionaire because of something I saw in him during those few short years I was around him - that the LORD's will is for people to get wealth to establish His covenant in the earth which relates to servant leadership which he so wisely showed us.
Really? He worshipped at Messiah's Temple? Seems like he taught you some Great lessons.
It's not about them being pegged as much as its about them being liberated. Oftentimes people have many contradictory desires and conflicting impulses meaning the thing they seem to most fear is actually that which they most deeply yearn for. Its more to do with giving men space and providing them a context in which to explore and connect with their other self, that one bitterly buried by the wrath of toxic masculinity global patriarchy. You are just homophobic
Congrats Mr. Barfield. You are an inspiration to us all.
And George Subira Trower
WoW! He was 90 years old when he died this year in 2018. He looked great!!! Seems like he was such a kind man.
some men are so fragile they put labels on everything rather than just enjoying the raw experience. It really limits them. It's about participating and desire not sexuality and gender . Its explains even more why all men need to pegged. It will shatter their bigoted belief that they are superior to woman by destroying the receiver-recipient relationship. Men think they're superior because they do not submit or get penetrated so if all men are bent they will finally be able to define themselves as being more than sdx and live richer deeper lives of variety that are far more fulfilling. It's not aboutb preference when they're been programmed according to a plan of toxic masculinity. We need to end this idealistic dualistic way of thinking where men see dick as disgusting. Women get it and thats why the freely experiment with other women and never once think they're nasty or disgusting but men think penis is so sacred they never dare "pollute" it by having contact with another. They want to be supreme so desperately it destroys their capacity for expression. TLM emancipates
WOW
WHAT a GREAT BUSINESS MAN🙏🏾
“ very very inspired 💯
you can tell he’s still so young by his soul, everything
Thank you for this video and to your guest as well thank you your subscriber on the west coast from Los Angeles
Truly a legend. RIP Mr Barfield!!
Schools only create people to take seat in building offices in order to take orders by business minded individuals. The way many succed is to have a family culture within a group. Unfortunatly, many don't integrate for long time with the other group members especially if they are been changed and replaced by different ones. Usually, the most successful businesses are the ones that are made by families and all are of common culture. Also, honesty and clarity on how the business function among the members makes it very easy to fix any problem to continue rather than lying or hidding them or blaming others for them.

My name is Maurice Campbell aka Mark Abdullah and my organization Renaissance Action National Network is organizing African Diaspora Economic Summit for 2021. The agenda and Plans of Action is to organize, strategize and mobilize the Black community into an Economic movement and a program "Called Build Brother Build " ,which will help the Black community build economic infrastructure on a local, state, national and international level. There are steps that we can take as a Black community to build our own economic system and information we should know about, but the Black Leadership don't know or failed to educate our people or selling our people out.
Either way it's time for a new way of doing business here in America and around the world. Stay tuned for more information coming soon .
How did it go ?

Very informative. I reasonate with this kind of thinking.
3:20 song?
loved this, more power to you john.
AWESOME!!
The only way that you can find the path to wealth is to realise the value of your time and your talents
It's not hard to be successful when you realise how valuable you are
A valid point.
#Hustle💚
Many people will not make that leap and stay in the same spot claiming “well I couldn’t really do it anyway” !
Great listen
INSPIRATIONAL
We have to be wary about what is put in vaccines for Africans and people in general.
I really agree with you....some of the vaccines have been you used for eradication..
What about the food you eat. Probably way more problematic than a vaccine.
INSPIRED
It's amazing how black men continue to cater to black women; especially considering the interview is about John W. Barfield Entrepreneurship!
Dumbass his wife co founded their first business, hence his comments. Thank goodness he loves BW as does his whole family as his grandsons married BW as well
What? It seems like the other way around from what I see in your community. Your women really cater to black men and help lead the most.

He needs to check out Dr. Boyce Watkins!
Boyce should partner with him
Why Dr. Watkins is not really a good leader like this man was.
@@johangreene6217 you talking about the recent scam?
12:00 we have have learn that we have only so many hours in our life to work
You have to realise how to charge for your services
I almost lost my life due to stress of losing my life.
6:40 the Barfield method of cleaning
Zora Neale Huston was his mother?
One of the things that has held us back as a people is we don't value the true value of our time and our talents
Did he mention African American women? Man...
?
We don't realise sometimes the difference between ordinary income and meaningful wealth
When did cee lo get a brother lol
He didn't really give any valuable advice but nice guy
Maybe you should watch it again. A lot of great valuable advice.
