BE.

This is more of a list of things to make life happier than a blog. Sometimes there are situations and circumstance that can and will make life difficult. I won't argue that because I know it to be true.  We might not at that moment, have the power to change our circumstances but we can change how we deal! Even now, some of you reading this might be going through some hard times. Financial difficulties, health issues(mental or physical), Family crisis, etc. Most of us have been there and will probably be there again. How do you deal with your anxiety? Do you overcome? Or do you succumb? I am going to sound like a broken record(I am okay with you saying so)but attitude IS everything. Years ago I created a BE list. This is my list to help me keep and maintain a better outlook on life, a reminder per-say. When we get caught up in the every day of It, IT being life, we can forget that we are surrounded by things to be grateful to and for. Here is my helper to you. Remember to BE: Aware ...

The Deletion, The Block & the Unfriending: My Pointer is Strong! OR You Have the Power!

“Today, spend a little time cultivating relationships offline. Never forget that everybody isn't on social media.”  ―  Germany Kent I become a little bit fascinated by stories of people arguing with folks online. Yet, some of these people don't argue with people offline, not a peep! I ask the same question everytime someone tells me of a "battle" online, "Do you know this person in real life?" "No." is always the answer. So my question is, why are you wasting your time? Do you even have these types of conversations with people in your family? When you pay attention you realize that people become something else online. This Clark Kent to Superman transformation is mind-boggling, or people will go in reverse. To the low down, disgusting, hate spewing, narcissistic,, mean-spirited pieces of trash that you only thought you knew. The internet affords people this, this dual personality, this keyboard "warrior" mentality. When I see this and I...

Are You Dumb?

"Racism, because it favors color over talent, is bad for business."  Steven Pinker Some years ago one of my more wealthy clients said to me that racism in business is not sustainable. That after a while, and it might take a while, like a piece of fruit, the rot from the inside starts to show. We see it all around us. Huge corporations that have been around for some time now, are being derailed, failing, lawsuits abound. Why? Because they forgot the first rule of business: Y our personal feelings are your feelings. But if someone is making money for you or can make money for you...Hire them and keep them. This is why I ask the question: Are you dumb? We live in an age where nothing is secret. Everyone is on Social Media spewing their hatred(s), outrage, naked pictures, etc. on various sites. As a money making business owner, why would you think it was copacetic to hinder someone in your business from progressing, make lewd/racial comments or be violent against someone be...

Entrepreneurship, Money and Health

"Entrepreneurship is the act of creating a business or businesses while building and scaling it to generate a profit. However, as a basic entrepreneurship definition, it’s a bit limiting. The more modern entrepreneurship definition is also about transforming the world by solving big problems. Like initiating  social change , creating an innovative product or presenting a new life-changing solution. It can even help lower unemployment rates through job creation to help reduce poverty. Entrepreneurship is what people do to take their career and dreams into their hands and lead it in the direction of their own choice. It’s about building a  life on your own terms . No bosses. No restricting schedules. And no one holding you back. Entrepreneurs are able to take the first step into making the world a better place, for everyone in it." Oberlo.com I agree with everything this mini-article said which is why I shared it. Being an Entrepreneur is very rewarding. If you open ...

Once There Was a Woman in a Phone Store...

As of today, I have decided that I dislike technology! Though I am using a laptop as I write this(which kind of makes me hypocritical)we will forget this and move on. Not only do I dislike technology, but I dislike the people that sell it, install it or fix it for that matter. What set me off? The phone store. You need to know this about me: I love the Flip phone. Stop laughing! I would have never gotten rid of my Flip phone if my children hadn't conspired against me! Okay, and the fact that I really couldn't see the pictures(yes! my phone received pictures!)that people were sending me. But anyway, I went to the store with a heavy heart(and my Eldest Daughter who was sent by the Kid-stapo to make sure I went through with it)to find a new and updated phone. The Millennial that was assigned to me did what any salesperson would have done, try and get me to buy the most expensive phone there. He didn't know who he was dealing with. I can squeeze two cents from a penny! Plus, hi...
