Derrick Jaxn

Derrick Jaxn is the founder of Mentally Stimulate Me Card Game and author of seven books, including his highly anticipated forthcoming title, Don't Forget Your Crown. Derrick began blogging in 2012 about his hard-learned lessons in love shortly after breaking up with his college sweetheart and has, since, turned his lessons into a viral movement of over five million social media followers that he reaches daily with videos, posts, and live chats about dating and relationships. Over 800 million video views, and counting, gave way to conversations that Derrick noticed happening in his comment sections that needed to happen more often in the homes of those on the dating scene to prevent time wasted in relationships. He decided to solve that problem by creating Mentally Stimulate Me Card Game in April of 2017 which would integrate touchy relationship topics in a fun way early into the dating phase. 200,000 customers later, his cards are quickly becoming a household name and date night must-have across the globe. Despite his success as an entrepreneur, Derrick is mostly known for curating content online in advocacy for the importance of self-love as the antithesis to the need of validation within a relationship. He often lends his massive influence to sensitive, and sometimes controversial topics like narcissism, rape culture, and the combating of stereotypes against single mothers which has earned the trust of his listeners that they can count on him to speak on what's necessary instead of just what's popular. When Derrick isn't championing healthy relationships and building his empire, he enjoys spending time with his former college sweetheart, and current wife, Da'Naia and their two children.

Book preview

As a teenager, I would get caught talking to myself. My friends would see it and laugh. My girlfriend would be puzzled, and I believe deep down, my parents were a little worried although they tried to laugh it off too. I can see why. From the outside, people wouldn’t understand, but with the constant flow of messages in, out, and swirling around my head, a few of those conversations were bound to be overheard.

Fast-forward ten years, and that self-talk changed my life. Not because I did it, because many of us do, but because mine was constructive, positive, honest, and motivational. I didn’t allow my voice to take on any energy it wanted. I controlled it to intentionally guide me into my destiny.

Some people talk themselves out of opportunities. I talked myself into several. Many talk themselves out of trying, but I talked myself into never giving up. Many people talk themselves into depression. I talked and acted on that talk until I was out of it. While as a teenager, I may have not understood the power of the tongue, but as an adult, there’s no denying it. I wouldn’t have my family, financial stability, health, or sanity without it.

This book contains the very same messages I’ve imprinted on my subconscious over the years. The same words that I found strength in when weakness overwhelmed me will now be available to you. No matter if you’re striving to be the next billionaire, obtain a Ph.D., or simply live to fight another day, it’s my sincere belief that these words will help you do all of the above.
