Turn It Up: Elevate Your Energy, Action, and Impact
By Team Kwanza Jones
You’ve worked hard to get to where you are. You’ve mastered your skills, achieved some goals, and found your rhythm. But then, one day, you realize that your momentum is slipping. Maybe your skills aren’t as sharp as they used to be, or the world around you has changed and you’re struggling to keep up.
It’s tempting to stay in a place of comfort, especially when you’ve worked so hard for it. While it may feel safe and easy, staying there too long can lead to stagnation. Growth and success don’t come from standing still. The world moves fast, and if you’re not constantly evolving, you risk losing momentum. That’s why now is the perfect time to reset, refocus, and elevate your mindset.
Comfort: The Hidden Trap
When you stop pushing yourself to learn and grow, you stop moving forward. And in a world that’s always changing, standing still is not an option.
Growth doesn’t happen in the comfort zone. It happens when you push past your limits, take risks, and challenge yourself to keep evolving. If you want to elevate your life, you have to turn up your energy, take bold action, and step into the unknown.
The Power of Turning It Up
Our leader, Kwanza Jones, a powerhouse in both music and business, understands this well. As a successful artist, high-impact investor, and philanthropist, she has consistently turned up the energy in everything she does. From creating chart-topping Billboard hits to powering possibilities through community-building and providing access to capital, Kwanza has shown that the key to ongoing success is pushing beyond what feels comfortable.
Her message is clear: turn it up—whether you’re an independent artist making your mark or a leader driving impact in the community. Kwanza’s journey is a testament to the idea that you can’t stay still if you want to grow. She didn’t wait for someone to tell her she was enough; she declared it for herself and kept pushing forward.
The lesson? Success isn’t about hitting one milestone and slowing down. It’s about continuously elevating your game.
Why Turning It Up Matters Now
This concept isn't just theoretical. It’s critical for success in the fast-paced world we live in. New opportunities are emerging all the time, but they won’t wait for you. If you’re not pushing yourself to grow, you’re missing out on the chance to make an even bigger impact.
Kwanza’s story is proof that when you choose to turn it up and push past your limits, the possibilities are endless. She has used her platform to empower others, investing in education, entrepreneurship, and equity through her philanthropic work. With a vision to boost a billion lives, Kwanza’s success is built on the foundation of continuously turning up her energy and expanding her impact.
That same potential exists for you. By turning up your own energy and action, you open the door to new growth, new opportunities, and greater success. The world isn’t going to slow down, so it’s up to you to keep moving forward.
How to Turn It Up
Turning it up isn’t about overloading yourself with tasks or forcing yourself to hustle endlessly. It’s about being intentional with your energy, focus, and efforts. It’s about aligning your actions with your goals and pushing forward with purpose.
In her SUPERCHARGED® statement, the Queen of Energy, Kwanza wrote: "Tell yourself it's time to go. Then get up, get out, and go." It’s a call to action, a reminder that you have the power to create momentum in your life. The only thing standing between you and the next level of success is your willingness to step out of your comfort zone and turn up the intensity.
When you elevate your energy and take bold action, you’ll see your impact grow.
It’s not about waiting for the right time; it’s about creating the right time by taking decisive steps toward your goals. Ask yourself: “What are my next goals? How can I push myself to grow?” Once you have clarity, break those goals down into smaller, actionable steps. Consistent progress is what turns a vision into reality.
Elevate Your Energy, Action, and Impact
As you embark on the journey to turn it up, remind yourself that you already have everything you need to succeed. You are strong enough, smart enough, and bold enough to make it happen.
Growth doesn’t come from waiting for the perfect moment. It comes from deciding that you’re ready to push yourself, to challenge yourself, and to keep moving forward. So take a deep breath, reset, refocus, and turn it up.
You don’t need to wait for things to feel easy or safe. The time to turn it up is now. Embrace the challenges, push past your limits, and watch how your energy and impact transform.
