Q&A: Insights from Wear Your Krown: The Seven Jewels for Building Kings & Queens

When I wrote Wear Your Krown: The Seven Jewels for Building Kings & Queens, I set out to create more than a book — I wanted to craft a roadmap for life. It’s not just about inspiration; it’s about transformation. The Seven Jewels are not random ideas but time-tested principles that, when applied, can elevate your life to a higher plane — financially, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.

In this Q&A, I’ll answer some of the most common questions I receive about the book, its philosophy, and how readers can practically apply these ideas to build themselves into the Kings and Queens they were always meant to be.

**Q1: What inspired you to write Wear Your Krown?**

A: The inspiration came from a deep conviction that too many people walk through life unaware of their inherent royalty. I don’t mean that in a superficial sense of crowns and robes — I mean the inner dignity, power, and purpose every human being possesses.

The Krown in the title is both literal and metaphorical. It’s a symbol of self-respect, sovereignty over your life, and alignment with your higher calling. After years of working with people in financial services, counseling, and entrepreneurship, I noticed a pattern: people who achieved fulfillment had cultivated mastery in certain key areas.

Those areas — the Seven Jewels — form the heart of the book:

Financial Wellness
Asset Ownership
Spiritual Growth
Holistic Living
Family & Work-Life Balance
Strategic Education
Paying It Forward

The book was born from the belief that by wearing your Krown — living by these principles — you can reclaim your life and lead from a place of strength and grace.

Q2: Can you briefly explain the meaning of “Seven Jewels”?

A: The Seven Jewels are not just topics; they’re pillars of a complete and well-lived life. Think of them as precious gems that shine brightest when polished daily.

Financial Wellness is about mastering money so that it serves you, not enslaves you.
Asset Ownership is about building and protecting wealth through tangible and intangible property — from real estate to intellectual property.
Spiritual Growth focuses on your connection to your Creator and your inner purpose.
Holistic Living integrates mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
Family & Work-Life Balance ensures you don’t succeed in one area at the cost of another.
Strategic Education is lifelong learning with a purpose, not just formal schooling.
Paying It Forward ensures you leave the world better than you found it.

The “Jewels” metaphor is deliberate — they’re rare, valuable, and require care. Just as a jeweler safeguards gems, you must safeguard and develop these areas of your life.

**Q3: How is Wear Your Krown different from other self-improvement books?**

A: Many self-improvement books focus on one domain — maybe finances, maybe mindset, maybe spirituality. Wear Your Krown is holistic by design. You could think of it as a seven-lane highway to personal sovereignty.

Most people stumble because they focus on one jewel and neglect the others. For example, you might get your finances in order but let your health slide. Or you might be deeply spiritual but live with financial instability that causes constant stress.

This book is about harmony. It’s a blueprint that says: You can be wealthy, healthy, spiritually alive, intellectually sharp, balanced in your relationships, and generous in your contributions — all at once.

Q4: What does “wearing your Krown” mean in everyday life?

A: Wearing your Krown is about showing up each day as the highest version of yourself — not just when it’s convenient, but especially when it’s hard.

It’s the decision to act with integrity when shortcuts are tempting.
It’s saying no to things that don’t align with your purpose.
It’s choosing to invest in your growth even when nobody’s watching.

In everyday life, this could mean:

Budgeting instead of impulse spending.
Making time to read or learn instead of endless scrolling.
Eating foods that fuel your body rather than deplete it.
Prioritizing time with loved ones instead of chasing empty achievements.

When you wear your Krown, you’re not just existing — you’re reigning over your life.

Q5: Can you share a personal story that illustrates one of the Seven Jewels?

A: Absolutely. One of my most personal experiences involves the jewel of Strategic Education. Early in my career, I believed that once I had my degree, I was “done” with formal learning. I thought real life was about applying what I already knew.

Then, I hit a roadblock in my business. My competitors were innovating faster, adopting new technology, and leveraging marketing tactics I didn’t understand. My pride kept me from admitting I needed to keep learning.

When I finally humbled myself and invested in new skills — from digital marketing to negotiation strategies — my results changed dramatically. That moment taught me that the Krown is never “finished”; it’s polished daily with new knowledge and wisdom.

Q6: How can someone apply the Seven Jewels if they feel overwhelmed in life?

A: The secret is to start small and stack your wins. Don’t try to master all Seven Jewels in one week — that’s a recipe for burnout. Instead, focus on the jewel that will create the biggest positive ripple effect in your life right now.

For example:

If your finances are causing constant anxiety, begin with Financial Wellness.
If you feel spiritually lost, start with Spiritual Growth.
If your health is declining, focus on Holistic Living.

Choose one jewel, dedicate 30 days to making consistent progress, then add the next. Over time, momentum builds, and the jewels begin to shine together.

Q7: How does self-improvement fit into the Seven Jewels framework?

A: Self-improvement is the heartbeat of the Seven Jewels. Every jewel is, in essence, a form of self-improvement — just in a specific domain.

When you commit to self-improvement, you’re declaring that your current state is not your final form. You’re choosing to refine your thoughts, habits, and environment.

Here’s the beauty: self-improvement in one jewel often fuels progress in the others. If you improve your health (Holistic Living), your mental clarity increases, which helps with Strategic Education and Financial Wellness. If you deepen your Spiritual Growth, you find more patience and compassion, which improves Family & Work-Life Balance and inspires Paying It Forward.

Self-improvement is not about being “better than others” — it’s about being better than you were yesterday.

Q8: What role does Financial Wellness play in personal sovereignty?

A: Financial Wellness is foundational because money impacts almost every aspect of your life — where you live, how you spend your time, and the opportunities you can access.

Personal sovereignty means you can make choices based on your values, not just your financial limitations. When you’re financially well, you can:

Say no to toxic jobs or clients.
Invest in your education or your children’s future.
Support causes you believe in without hesitation.

This isn’t about greed; it’s about freedom. Freedom to live aligned with your purpose.

Q9: What’s the biggest misconception people have about building their “Krown”?

A: The biggest misconception is that it’s about perfection. People think they need to have flawless discipline, constant motivation, and instant results. That’s simply not true.

Building your Krown is a lifelong journey. There will be times you stumble — the key is to get back up, polish the jewel, and keep moving forward.

Another misconception is that it’s selfish. In reality, the stronger and more whole you become, the more you can pour into others. A dim light can’t guide anyone; a bright one can illuminate a whole room.

**Q10: How do you recommend readers use Wear Your Krown — read straight through or work on one jewel at a time?**

A: I recommend reading it straight through once to understand the full vision, then revisiting each jewel individually as you apply it to your life.

Think of it like surveying an entire castle first, then working on one room at a time until every space is beautiful and functional.

Q11: What’s the connection between the Krown and legacy building?

A: Your Krown is not just for you — it’s for everyone who comes after you. Legacy building is about planting trees whose shade you may never sit under.

If you master Financial Wellness and Asset Ownership, you can pass down wealth.
If you master Spiritual Growth and Holistic Living, you can pass down values and health habits.
If you master Strategic Education and Family Balance, you can pass down wisdom and strong family ties.

Your Krown ensures your legacy is not left to chance.

Q12: Can someone start building their Krown later in life?

A: Absolutely — and in many ways, later in life you have an advantage. You have the wisdom of experience, a clearer sense of what matters, and fewer illusions about shortcuts.

I’ve seen people in their 50s, 60s, and beyond build empires, reconcile family relationships, deepen their spiritual lives, and transform their health. The only thing that stops someone from wearing their Krown is believing it’s too late.

Q13: Which jewel do people struggle with the most?

A: It’s a tie between Financial Wellness and Family & Work-Life Balance.

Money stresses are widespread because our culture often teaches spending over saving, and instant gratification over long-term planning.
Work-life balance is tough because ambition can easily crowd out family time, and family obligations can sometimes feel like they compete with career goals.

The key in both cases is clarity — knowing what you value most and aligning your daily actions with that.

Q14: What’s the simplest way to start “wearing your Krown” today?

A: Begin with one intentional act that aligns with your values. It could be:

Calling a loved one you’ve neglected.
Making a budget.
Meditating for 10 minutes.
Drinking water instead of soda.
Reading a chapter of a growth-oriented book.

Small acts are powerful because they’re repeatable. Over time, they become habits, and habits shape destiny.

Q15: What’s your favorite feedback you’ve received from a reader?

A: One reader told me, “Your book didn’t just motivate me — it gave me a map.” That’s the greatest compliment I could receive. Motivation without direction fades quickly; a map keeps you moving toward the destination.

Final Thoughts: Your Krown Awaits

Wear Your Krown is not a book to be read and shelved. It’s a call to action. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an already strong foundation, the Seven Jewels can elevate you to new heights.

Your life is your kingdom. Your mind, your body, your relationships, your finances, your spiritual life — these are the lands you govern. Wear your Krown with pride, not arrogance; with humility, not shame; with determination, not fear.

Because when you rise, others rise with you. And that is the true mark of a King or Queen.
