Retired pastor, transformational speaker, and guide for high-performers seeking excellence in faith, finances, and fitness.
Dr. Cliff Watson spent decades shepherding congregations as a pastor, witnessing firsthand the struggles that keep good people from becoming great. Time and again, he saw talented, faithful men held back by financial stress, poor health, or spiritual drift.
After retiring from full-time ministry, Dr. Cliff couldn't shake the calling to reach beyond church walls. He created Mind Ya' Business to deliver the straight-talk wisdom that transforms lives—combining biblical principles with practical strategies for money, health, and spiritual growth.
Today, he helps high-performers level up in every area through his podcast, writing, speaking engagements, and the transformational 90-Day Challenge. His message is simple: excellence isn't optional—it's your calling.
From pastoral ministry to podcasting, every season has prepared Dr. Cliff for this moment
Answered the call to pastoral ministry after experiencing a profound spiritual awakening. Began formal theological training while serving in youth ministry.
Became senior pastor of a growing church, developing a reputation for practical, life-changing teaching that addressed real-world challenges.
Launched financial stewardship programs that helped hundreds of families eliminate debt and build wealth. Recognized that money problems were often spiritual problems.
Personal health scare became a wake-up call. Transformed his own physical health at age 62, losing 45 pounds and proving it's never too late to change.
After decades of faithful service, retired from full-time pastoral work. But retirement meant a new assignment, not rest.
Launched the Mind Ya' Business podcast to reach high-performers seeking excellence across all three pillars: Financial Stewardship, Physical Health, and Spiritual Disciplines.
The principles that guide everything Dr. Cliff teaches and lives
Everything is filtered through Scripture. God's Word is the ultimate authority on how we should live, lead, and build.
Truth without application is useless. Every principle must translate into actionable steps you can implement today.
Mediocrity is not an option. You were created for greatness, and settling for less dishonors the calling on your life.
True success requires excellence in all areas. Your money, body, and spirit are interconnected—neglect one, suffer in all.
No sugar-coating, no excuses. Sometimes you need someone to tell you the truth you've been avoiding—with love, but without compromise.
Transformation happens in community. Iron sharpens iron, and you need brothers who will push you toward greatness.
"Too many men are crushing it in one area while failing in others. My mission is to help high-performers achieve excellence across all three pillars—building wealth that honors God, bodies that serve their purpose, and faith that anchors everything. Excellence isn't optional. It's your calling."
