My Boss Yelled At Me

13 Jan

So a week ago my boss at my day job yelled at me.

Was I embarrassed?
No, not at all.
Why?
I handled it well.
And I was inspired by it.

Here are the lessons from my 5 minutes of madness.

–Always Keep Your composure.
In the midst of a verbal barrage and repeated threats I didn’t raise my voice or reply in kind.
It made me look regal and my attacker look petty and childish.

Also when you get into an argument with someone you enter into a contract of sorts. Both parties are now stuck in a combative energy and are wasting efforts.
Is that what you really want out of your life?
Isn’t your time and energy worth more?

-Don’t have a Boss.
I realized that while I had a huge victory in this incident via my self control-
I would be a bigger winner still if I had no boss.
I love my job and all that comes with it.
Yet there is a huge chunk of me that yearns to be free. To be in charge.
I love the idea of being my own boss.
For a few years my father worked for himself, and I remember the freedom it afforded him.
And honestly, I’d rather lead than follow, work from home, and keep all the loot my efforts reap.

-Build your OWN Empire.
Having an empire of your own will afford you the ability to be in a position where no one can stop you.
A position where no one will be able to demean you.
You will always be at the top.
You will be unstoppable.
I could say more on this topic but who doesn’t want to be the head honcho of a major enterprise?
Sounds pretty sweet right?

-Poor leadership.
This is a trap you don’t want to fall in.
Never give in to being less than is required, less than you can be.
Leadership requires that you make sacrifices and that you always lead by example.
Never lose your cool.
Never forget to be the best.
Only then can you work with the best.

Day 6 of the 12 Day Challenge

26 Dec

So it’s day 6 of my 12 day challenge.

Oh, did I forget to mention my 12 day challenge?
It’s intentional.
I wanted to get it moving before I spoke on it.

Here’s the results from my tally:
*Posted daily to multiple blogs- CHECK.

*Hit gym religiously-CHECK.
Now here there is a 2 day break for the 24th and 25th of December. Why? Scheduling and injury. But I’ll be doing chest and triceps again tomorrow. For the 2 days off I cut carbs dramatically and ate almost no “snacks.”. As in chips, junk food, etc.

*Sales-CHECK.
I had one person join my team and sold some tees in my personally created line.

*PaperWork- CHECK.
I’m behind on this about a half day but that is irrelevant as it doesn’t impede my bills etc. I’ve filed all but 1 set of paperwork.

*Car issues- CHECK.
I’m 97% done with this as well.
Car runs but I’m aiming to be ahead not behind.

*What am I forgetting?
Nothing I think.

Overall I’m pleased with what I’ve achieved.
I’ve also read a lot and had some serious quality sleep. And I’ve been on point and studious through these days.

And fyi- it is only 1:32am EST so my day 6 hasn’t really begun…

Financial Troubles Don’t Stop the Willing

16 Dec

Walt Disney had a few failed business ventures that forced him to file bankruptcy in 1923. This was before his Disney success that we all know him for.

Donald Trump filed for corporate bankruptcy Four times.

Though he filed in. 1991, 1992, 2004, and 2009- he has never filed for personal bankruptcy- An important distinction which shows his ability to emerge unscathed-
At least financially.

Lesson here: Be tenacious and have the mindset of a champion.
Nothing Stops Those Willing To Go All The Way.

Forget the New Year! Blast Forward Now!

8 Dec

Everyone seems to get hyped for the holiday season.

Gifts, good times, family and friends- its a great way to end a year.

And then as a habit most people make a habit of setting new goals for the new year. And this magical timing is believed to add momentum and increase gains, further success, and lead to the best you ever.

I call foul.

I’m not waiting for the New Year-
Neither should You.

And hey I’m the first guy to keep it real-
I made money this year, good side money.
And I still didn’t meet my goal.
I had health issues, work issues, and family health issues.
A lot of set backs. Big ones.
And I still made money. It’s kind of crazy but I did.
And it may not have been huge money, but it was in a way.
I made money in 5 minutes that usually takes me a few hours. So when you do the time ratios I came out thousands ahead for every dollar I took in.
And then I repeated these sales.
Not just to other customers, but I had a few repeat sales- a healthy amount actually.
But I missed my goal.

I also ran for an elected position and clinched it. It took two tries due to some malarkey from my opponents- but I triumphed.

A bunch of my investments also did well.

Planning pays off folks.
However I didn’t meet my goal(s).

Life is short and success is fleeting.
I did good but not good enough.

And as such my message is Forget the New Year!
I will beg borrow steal, fight claw and bite until I do better.
I still have my day job and my businesses.
As well as some new ventures I stumbled into.
Did I stretch myself too thin?
Not at all.
I went where the income was.
And it was worth it.
My gains almost exclusively came from two simple re-directs.
Am I proud? Heck yeah!
Am I disappointed? Of course.

All this said to make my final point:
When I make moves they work.

And so the only choice left is to make more moves.
And make them faster.

And as such I have dedicated the month of December to Greatness- My Greatness..
I have made my weight goals, sale goals, and other goals in the last 8 days alone.
And I bet I will make at least the same amount of sales I have since August in this same limited time frame.

Watch Please-
AND HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE.

BE

9 Nov

When we have to stop and think who we are, we are not being who we are. When we are trying to be someone we believe we should be, we are not being who we are. When we are trying to be what someone else has told us we should be, we are not being ourselves.
To be myself, I have to BE. 
-Anne Scheaf

Tranquility Releases Power

28 Sep

#findyourfuel.

“The cyclone derives its powers from a calm center. So does a person.”
~Norman Vincent Peale

Self explanatory I’d argue.
But let us unpack this a ‘lil bit.

To have a whirlwind of action requires you be centered and focused.
Aka On Point.

And if you have done your due diligence,
Followed your plan, and taken all the prerequisite steps- you are Golden.
From there you simply follow through.
That’s It.

So folks don’t be wild, rude, angry or afraid of failure.
Simply Be (sorry if this is new worldy or zen-ish).
