Today, I am going to discuss 5 concepts that will help you to decide whether the risk of venturing out on your own is worth the headache. In these changing dynamics the world of work all but shifted in the blink of an eye to a digital landscape. All work went remote. Many businesses closed their doors forever and many hybrid (office/home) work models are beginning to reemerge.

The consensus is that many working professionals would love the opportunity to pursue their dreams; but the pull of that 9–5 has taken root so deeply in the psyche that many feel…

One of the funniest topics I have ever read was Top 10 Celebrities with No Talent”. I mean come on your guys “No Talent”? That’s funny considering that we are all born with gifts and talents that came programmed into our DNA. So, to set the record straight there is no such thing as a talentless celebrity. Why would I say that? Well, you have to consider that for years we have gotten the words talent, celebrity, popularity, fame, and value mixed up.

I am sure there are celebrities that provide enormous amounts of value to brands all across the…

“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”– Babe Ruth

In the last 15 years of my life, I have had many mentors (Mostly Indirect) and a few Direct. Indirect is just a way of following the perceived path of someone who you inspire to be like; and then listening to all of their books, audio recordings, seminars, mastermind lessons and the like. It’s a weird proposition because you are playing a real sum game from the sidelines. One of the greatest lessons my mentor taught me was that “Life Is a full contact sport

Life Has No Limitations except the ones you make ~ Les Brown

One of the most important aspects of any crisis is self-reflection. Given, the nature of this pandemic and the destruction that she has caused it’s time to take a step back and rethink your position in the world. You can be at multiple ends of the spectrum at this point. You be looking to climb out of your uncertain world or seeking to protect and build upon the foundation you have created up until this point.

PURPOSE

When I was a Sophomore at Kentucky State University, in the fall of 2001 something happened that changed my life forever. As, I sat in my hotel room (no dorm rooms were available, and I got to stay in the Holiday Inn for a semester); I was sitting on the bed and happened to look at the Television and to my surprise watch two planes hit the twin towers in New York.

I created a New Beginning for myself and I am just livid. I needed to find the means for truly expressing this internal happiness.

It’s kind of weird because it never bothered me or anything like that. It was just that it noticed my every move.
