2019 Motivation
Embrace pressure, it has fashioned you, into the person you are today. Only after surviving the damaging aspects of life, are we able to unearth deep reservoirs of character within us. Unknown to many of us is how we have developed the kind of character that allows us to manage any kind of difficulty. Growing up, I never understood, why some people seemed to have it easy. It was like, I was oblivious to the fact, that hardships were conditioning me to never give up. Being conditioned to never give up, is a part of the process of becoming successful

The Legion of Down Time
Picture this. You arrive at work early one morning, ready to close some deals. Your company’s latest sales promo just went live and you anticipate lots of prospects expressing interest.
But when you get to the office, you find that the power is out. You pick up the phone to call the power company and you hear nothing. No dial tone, nothing. No one else in the office has a dial tone either.
You use your mobile phone to get online and check the local news. And that’s when you find out that the emergency vehicles you passed on your way to work were heading toward an accident site where a construction worker ran a backhoe into a power pole, knocking it over. Now the power and the phone service are out over a 5-block radius and the utility companies are saying things won’t be fixed until tomorrow…at the earliest.
Prospects can’t reach you; they’re getting a busy signal. Your employees are all standing around; they can’t do any work. And you’re suddenly faced with a scary question: Will your business survive this outage? And if so, how much will it cost you?

How to Start a Business in 2018
My life was shaped by trials and tribulations. I am an American kid, whose life was influenced by mind altering circumstances, like murder, abuse, addiction and homelessness, all before I was ten years old. It is the process of life that defines who we are. Failure is a part of the process. Fight or flight, either we summon the strength to survive or run away from the hardship. Nevertheless, this natural procedure shapes who we become.

How to Start a Business in 2018 for under $200 a month
“Never allow life’s circumstances to define your future. Remember that knowledge is power, and if you acquire enough of it powered by genuine intentions, your unique skill set will circumvent the notion of questioning your past.”
My life was shaped by trials and tribulations. I am an American kid, whose life was influenced by mind altering circumstances, like murder, abuse, addiction and homelessness, all before I was ten years old. It is the process of life that defines who we are. Failure is a part of the process. Fight or flight, either we summon the strength to survive, or run away from the hardship. Nevertheless, this natural procedure shapes who we become. I remember the first time I heard my mentor, Jim Rohm say, “set a goal to make a million bucks. Not because of the money. But for what you will become in the process."
