Hire a team

The pandemic has opened a lot of people up to finding hobbies/interests & new business ideas. However, being an entrepreneur comes with a balance, especially in the beginning of your business a lot of coaches & mentors didn’t mention. Just because you have an excellent product/service does NOT mean you know how to run a business! Actually running a business is to operate, direct, oversee, to…

What you put out

Today I helped out a friend, who in turn asked how much they owed me… Nothing of course. Not because it wasn’t valuable but because she has put me on plenty of times… its the reciprocity for me. It made me realize though how blessed I am to be able to do things for others and genuinely not need or want anything in return and have people who do the same for me… I recognize though some people have…

Why do you need to know?

I picked a fight on LinkedIn recently, I know keep that for the Facebook/IG comment section. Here’s the short of it, a person felt comfortable sharing his hiring experience with a candidate who was going through tough times and he needed to share that his compassion for the man’s downfall leads him to give this guy a shot… 2 things, I personally hate stories like this, not actually the story, it…

Get it how you live it

I’m all for teaching kids lessons and the value of working hard. Yes, (some) people value things more when they’ve worked for it. HOWEVER, I’ll change the lesson, but if I can help it, my kid not getting it out the mud… Here’s the line of separation; I didn’t learn all of my lessons not to be able to hand him keys, the LLC, deeds to property, investments. So many people are angry, jealous of,…

Not here

I get it, especially during these times IF you can get out you want to be you, want to have fun, be lit and do it for the Gram. However, you cannot twerk every damn where. You cannot be loud, scream “AYEEEE”, smell like weed, honestly the list goes on, but you can’t be the same in every occasion. Some of your cousins went to Dallas, decided to go out FOR A MEAL at True Kitchen + Kocktails, then…

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time…

Lately, it seems that everyone is “’bout that life”, wit the shits, down for whatever, but no one wants to pay the price for it. YOU DID IT!

Actions have consequences, some are immediate, some are not, some will repeat until YOU’VE learned. Whatever comes after, just remember its because you did it. This is where self-accountability comes in, you were all for it while you were willing to make…

The single friend

Now I don’t specialize in relationships but I was asked to discuss the “hating ass single friend” hahahaha, so here we go…

1st let me acknowledge this came from a dude who specifically wanted to acknowledge women who “listen to” their friends. The single friend plays a role on both sides, each role just has different responsibilities. See, with men, the single friends are trouble because they…

Mind the business that pays you

If no one else ever tells you- it pays to mind your own business. Minding your business even means sitting on the sidelines watching. You be so caught up watching the show, you fail to realize your own world has started to burn down. Energy tends to transfer, so bad things will be around a person, then you’re around that person, so bad things just start to happen to you and your life.

The Family Business

Like many, due to stay at home orders as a result of Covid-19, while at home I’m watching more tv- anything but the news.

I had a chance to watch a show on Netflix, Uncorked. About a young man set to inherit the family barbecue business that he really has no interest in running, as he would rather follow his own dream of becoming a master sommelier. This got me to thinking, this is a pretty…

Pay up

Your wrongs, even if for the “right” reasons have to be paid for. Oh Robinhood, taking from the rich to give to the poor- still makes you a thief!

If you break into someone’s house and steal all of their food to feed your family cause you have nothing, although it may appeal to their emotions, they are still within their rights to press charges against you for stealing. Sometimes we do things…

Don't forget where you came from...

Don't forget where you came from…

I’m all for supporting the community you’re from, but where is the line where we allow people to move on and be great unapologetically? And when are y’all gonna stop GUILTing people to coming back and helping you?

I don’t put in all of this work to be the same!

There is this “rule” that once someone “makes it”, or does better than their upbringing they are obligated to go back and help…

But I’m the parent

Hate to be the one to tell you, but the authority of having kids gives some of you an ugly god complex. You want a strong foundation? You want your respect back? You wanna move forward? Show integrity first hand. So often parents drag the passage in the Bible that tells children to obey the parents and skip the part that says not to exasperate them or discourage them…

For too many, apologies mean…

You are your surroundings … 2

Friends! we all have them, we have associates too. Trying to build a team isn’t always easy.

I have very selfish friends. I choose to love them anyway.

I have very busy friends. I choose to love them anyway.

I have very hood friends. I choose to love them anyway.

I have materialistic friends. I choose to love them anyway.

I have people in my life who are not perfect. I choose…

That's a YOU problem

That’s a YOU problem

Okay, in all seriousness who does my cockiness actually hurt??? I hear people say all the time tell OTHER people to “remain humble” but for what?

“That “thing” can be taken from you” weeelllllll if it’s going to be taken, its gonna be taken any damn way! What’s yours, what’s actually meant for you, your purpose, your gift is YOURS. To be honest, when something is truly your destiny, not even

If all of your friends jump...

If all of your friends jump…

Does anyone READ & COMPREHEND content before (re)posting? I’m convinced people see a title and run with it. I see so much being shared on social media that’s outdated, incorrect and definitely one-sided.

The same way the old school questioning “if all of your friends jump off a bridge, will you jump too?” comes to mind. If all of your friends look stupid without fact checking are you willing to…

I need a break

Such a common thing these days to wanna skip the hard parts in life. When things are uncomfortable wanting a “break”, from YOUR life…

Life will grant you that break from your crap and you get a first class ticket into the drama of someone else’s life. No need to complain, you no longer wanted YOURS remember?

This is still your life, you still have more control than you’re willing to admit. Most…

All I did was touch you

I debated discussing the recent popular topic involving singer Ariana Grade and Bishop Charles H. Ellis III at the funeral of Aretha Franklin, but here we go.

I’m not gonna say if she was or was not “groped” let’s instead discuss people’s inability to keep their hands to themselves and off of others in general.

Have you ever given a presentation at school or work, then your boss/teacher/or any…
