We had the good fortune of connecting with TJ Mixon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi TJ, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
Overtime I have realized that, balance is overrated! To truly have the success you want, you will have to go all in and focus. Don’t drive yourself crazy, but realize on the other side of all the hard work is what you have always wanted.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Entrepreneurship is one of the most difficult yet rewarding things I’ve ever pursued in my life.

The most difficult thing is not actually running a business. It is the mentality to wake up to an unknown daily and pursue it like it’s certain.

I am business owner and business investor.
My most recent investment is in a health bar named “Access” in Tuskegee Al, without a doubt it is one my favorite accomplishments. I was able to invest in that business from my success in IM Academy.

I got started in business with IM Academy. I became an IBO which allows people to create residual income from home!

Along the way, I learned that faith is the certainty when pursuing your dreams in life.

My brand SMACK is for people who aspire to be self made millionaires. I help people find ways to make passive income in their schedules. People that invest with me and my team always reach their true purpose and their goals.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Atlanta is definitely the place to be for life during any weekend! I often go the black owned route when it comes to nightlife and food.

Food : Slutty Vegan, Sweet Auburn Seafood, Mangoes Caribbean, and honestly many more.

Nightlife: Opium, Medusa’s and especially chic! Great night life vibes!

Fun Days: I love sports games like, Hawks, Braves, falcons, Atlanta United! games are always my go to!

But never EVER down play a fun time walking downtown or in the park just enjoying the weather!
