"I Am The Master Of My Fate, I Am The Captain Of My Soul"

- INVICTUS

 

At The Charlton Group, we practice the 23 Degrees mentality. This system has helped my team (family/people of trust) and myself operate our businesses with discipline, and a "No HandOut" approach to life's challenges. The Charlton Group's umbrella consists of (4) platforms that focus on Personal Fitness/Training, Sport Specific Training (Football, Track & Field, Basketball, Soccer), AAU Sports Club and an Apparel Company (Corner323).

Understanding 23 Degrees Mentality is simple, you work for what you want, and take no handouts in the process. What we all know is, life's process isn't simple and in fact it's very challenging; but as the old adage says... if there's a will there's a way. With that understanding and actual lived experience, Isaiah "Ike" Charlton IV (CEO of The Charlton Group), is well equipped to educate, teach, and guide you on what it took to defy the odds and fulfil a childhood dream of playing in the NFL! While playing 10 years in the pros, I never once forgot where I came from and the challenges, I had to go through just to have a chance. To be honest, NO KIDS should have to go through those challenges that I had to endure in the process.

I often thought: "How can I create a unified community experience for support, mentorship, accountability, inspiration, knowledge, values and exchange of ideas, and group them in a way that provides HELP for ALL that seeks to follow a path to success?" "How can I help an individual (youth, adult), or Sports teams (Club, School teams, Recreational) navigate through the obstacles?" "How can I create a purposeful, powerful umbrella of tools that will help guide you to the next stage of success for your business and life?"

I believe that the best way to create this atmosphere is to simply follow the 23 Degrees model. The 23 Degrees model is simple, "work 2 times smarter and 3 times harder" throughout the process. This process was built around only a few tiers, 3 to be more precise: 1) If there's a will there's a way. 2) No handouts 3) Affordable means for the Community. TCG's approach is to consolidate the community to a single hub that is well organized, well supported, and constantly evolving. I believe that sharing my knowledge helps you, but also it helps me master my own knowledge. This concept is at the heart of how I've been able to achieve so much in my life. It's at the essence of a growth mindset.

"The best time to plant a tree are twenty years ago and today." Defining these values (23 Degrees Mentality) I feel are important. To build a common language and culture that will provide direction when we feel we can't because of our circumstances. Be the reason one believes that they can. Having this mentality will not only provide light, but also provide the way.
