Can’t Stop the Shining
If you got it you got it patna! You would think everyone would be happy to see you with that something that makes you special but truth be told they aren’t. Most cats get caught up in calling everyone Haters and gossiping about how someone doesn’t like them like they are little girls in elementary [...]
The Smartest Dumb Guy
I was playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 today on the Dreamcast and was doing INCREDIBLY well. To give you an idea of my win ratio, it was 10 wins for every one loss. And these were decisive wins at that. But then I got to thinking what actually was allowing me to win like this [...]
The Difference Between Education And EDUCATION
Anyone who knows me or has read a few of my blog posts knows that I’m not the biggest proponent of academia’s institutionalized schools of thought or learning. I think of most pre-collegiate level schools (save some magnets and specialized forward-thinking private ones) as daycare centers and monitoring camps designed to showcase meager behavior through [...]
Bullsh!t (And 5 Ways Not To)
I procrastinate. A lot sometimes. This has been both good and bad for me as sometimes I’ve stayed in instead of going out and avoided a rain shower or running into a pack of freshly released school kids. Okay, that doesn’t really compare to getting work done; that was my half-assed attempt at justifying my [...]
Bounce
As a consultant, I receive at least an email a week from a young hustler who says he (or she) wants to be successful but cant because they live in a rural town or a small city. I have one response: bounce.
The Time Value Of Money
Money, like everything else, has a value. Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past few years during this thing called a recession, you know that money also has a value that moves over time. Sometimes it’s strong, sometimes it’s weak. But that’s not the money value I’m going to talk about today. I’m [...]
They Are Who We Thought They Were!
Since you never been there you don’t know what to expect. I mean it’s natural to think highly of those you see doing it. I mean even I thought when I got there I would have to be on top of my game and trust no one. As I kept going up and up and [...]
Can You Make A Hamburger?
Recently I re-read the book “The E-Myth Revisited” by author Michael E. Gerber. This book is a must read for anybody looking into or already operating a small business. The book focuses on franchising and branding you business. But its main focus is discussing why most small businesses do not work. Now I am not [...]
Toss Self Doubt Out The Window
There are few things in this life as paralyzing to your diagonal movement than self doubt. Absolutely, positively nothing puts a halt on progress like it and that’s why I wanted to talk about how necessary it is to toss it out of the proverbial window every time that it comes up. At one point [...]
Preparation – A Parable
It was one of the greatest upsets in sports history, and had fight fans around the world asking the same question: “How’d Buster Douglass come out of obscurity to win the belt from Iron Mike Tyson??” The answer is both simple and complex: he prepared for it
Put Money On The BackBurner
If you ever get a chance, read Russell Simmons’s “Do You!: 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success”. It tells a little bit about his life and his philosophy. One of his most interesting philosophies was the value he places on money – he doesn’t. Here’s is a man [...]
Lonely Road
Hustling is like Golf it’s a individual sport, a lot of concentration, strategy, practice, and deafening quiet. One of my boys told me Hustle Ain’t in everybody, and the more you accumulate you’ll find you are the only one there. The biggest mistake you can make in Hustling is trying to bring people along with [...]
