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

Hi Robert, what do you attribute your success to?
When we decided to focus on “the frustrated entrepreneur to their small business into big business, our consulting company became in great demand. We discovered few consulting firms wanted to deal with start-ups because normally they has little to no money, limited marketplace experience, and weak branding.

However, we believe in the spirit of entrepreneurship as the master key to all generational wealth. Start-up just needed a hand-up, not a handout.

So our brand focuses on providing financial and human capital to those that need it the most.

What should our readers know about your business?
Recognized by former president Barack Obama with the exclusive Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, I am far from an ordinary entrepreneur.

People call me The Empire Builder because I have helped people to build hotel, tech companies, real firms and other companies that generate generational wealth for families.

After being given up at birth to a Detroit orphanage and ultimately adopted by wonderful working-class parents, I eventually embraced my calling as the “Moses” who could lead God’s people to economic deliverance and began developing my signature system of Never Chase A Paycheck Again and the 10 Commandments of Financial Healing was born.

As an in-demand international speaker, my passion for people, purpose, and profit has fired up millions of men and women across the globe to not just reach but retain financial success. This mission has led to the founding of several conferences and events under his tutelage, including “Young CEO Camp,” a summer program that focuses on creating young CEO’s in youth ages 11-19, Gathering of the Angels, a Shark Tank- style event where small business owners pitch their next business idea for a chance to receive instant funding and business coaching; and the Kings & Priests Men’s Leadership Organization, which, in just over seven years has exploded to a membership of over 17,000 CEO’s, business owners, executives, politicians, and various men in ministry across the United States and abroad.

I’ve invested in over 200 new business owners, assisted thousands of families to change the trajectory of their financial legacies, and has facilitated more than $10 million in capital for burgeoning startups.

Not only am I a multi-dimensional Army veteran a bestselling author, servant-hearted minister, and investor but I am a financial consultant who has helped build seven-figure businesses as the CEO of the consulting firm he founded, Conquer Worldwide. In his limited spare time, he has managed to ink five books including Never Chase a Paycheck Again, How to Hear from God, Be Your Own Boss, Extreme Results, and the recently released, Chosen: Becoming The Person You Were Meant To Be.

A graduate of the University of West Georgia where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications and Journalism, Dr. Watkins became a member of the elite Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. He received honorary doctoral degrees in both Business and Theology, from the Ministry International Institute, in honor of his excellence in entrepreneurial education.

Recently married the love of my life, Pastor Riva Watkins.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Atlanta Grill at the Ritz Carlton for lunch, then Philps Plaza for a quick shopping spree, then I would head over to the Atlanta Grill for dinner and drinks.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A shout out to my father and mother, Robert and Mary Watkins (now Cloud), who adopted me from a downtown Detroit orphanage when I was 3 months old. With them, I would still be an orphan today.
