South Florida based janitor turned serial entrepreneur, Patrick
Muhammad took what some would call an unconventional route to his newest
venture. “What I do now has evolved. It truly took my passion and has
turned it into a profession for me. I can see myself mentoring and
sharing my story with young people easily for the next 20 years. I love
talking to young people and showing them, what entrepreneurship looks
like. I love sharing my stories of how I came to be. I didn’t just wake
up one day and have all the answers. My wife and I bumped our head A
LOT. I just want to say to them, look…here’s the blueprint. Start now,
don’t wait until you’re 30. Passion has no age requirement, and has no
limit on how many you can have. I started out as a janitor, then became
a baker now I am into motivational speaking. They just have to have the
passion and guidance. Anything is possible.”
“Patrick Turns His Play Into Pay” is the 1st book in a
series of children’s books authored by husband and wife writing
partners, Shani and Patrick Muhammad. The idea for the book was created
one night while trying to explain the reason there was a gigantic, neon,
pink and orange food-truck, now sitting in their front yard to their
then 4 year-old Qadeer. Patrick and his wife came up with the idea
that they would write a keepsake item for all their children, detailing
the road they took to becoming entrepreneurs. The primary message is
simple. By tapping into your passion early in life you can turn your
playdays into paydays. Once the book was published they both realized
that the story could not only inspire their own children to
entrepreneurship, but others as well. Shani figured out how to
self-publish it and Patrick would take it to different youth groups in
his community. “I began shopping the book around to childcare centers
and non-profits that served young people in the projects and the adults
loved it. “They really loved the idea that it was based on a true story
and that the message was coming from a black male perspective. A story
their children could relate to. The images were brown like them and I
just always got a positive response. We took that book everywhere with
us, and the response was this is a message that’s needed. Children
can’t be what they can’t see.”
Patrick currently lives in South Florida with his wife and three of
his youngest five children. He has a passion for planting the seed of
entrepreneurship and carving out wealth building opportunities for his
children’s generation. When he’s not writing books he’s on tour,
speaking to groups of young people about basic principles of financial
literacy and the benefits of early investing using cryptocurrency as a
vehicle to establish future financial goals. When he’s not doing
that…he’s on a creek with a fishing pole in his hand.
Shani Muhammad has been married to Patrick for 17 years now.
Together they have 5 children and 3 grandchildren. Shani has spent the
past 15 years in a classroom as a teacher. She too is a serial
entrepreneur and has in the past owned a one-price shoe store, group
homes and several online businesses. When she’s not working on the next
children’s book in their series, she too enjoys researching and
investing in crypto currencies and planning her family’s next
“staycation.”
