I don’t care for social media because over 3 years ago I decided that social media was turning me into a user. I decided that it wasn’t going to rule my life, shape my identity and direct my thoughts. I am a Millennial that doesn’t care for the social hype that used to drain every […]
The Do’s and Don’ts About Us
Don’t do what has already happened, do something that is unimaginable to stand out. Do take a successful person up on their advice. Don’t follow that person and imitate their path to victory. Do all the research and dive in every single day to get to where you want to be. Don’t hire bunch of […]
The Relationship Between Social Media and Boredom
It’s almost an identical relationship between social media and boredom. Let’s just take a look at the last few times you caught yourself being bored. Eating dinner, walking your dog, driving around (hopefully you’re on the passenger side), at work, hanging out with your family and friends, shopping, running errands, at church, or getting a […]
Calling All Inovators
Now, let’s ditch the resumes, let’s ditch the ancient duty statements that have nothing related to the actual duties performed on the job. Let’s go above the average way of hiring. Can we call all innovators to the interview table? Innovators that are willing to break the rules, go against the grain and transform the […]
Why Senioritis Haunts Us Long After We’ve Graduated
This happens with every remodel project that we pick up around the house. This also happens when you know you’re about to launch a great product into the world. It happens when you’re getting ready to graduate in your senior year of college. It happens when it’s time to wrap up the year and we […]
The average-ians
When the rest of the average Americans come home to sift through social media, TV, news, and any other tech gadget, you shut off everything and zone in on doing quite the opposite. When the rest of the averrage America is feeding themselves with junk food, piling up debt like it’s a marathon to the […]
What Harriet Tubman Taught Me
It was discovered to her that the journey she was to becoming a free woman was considered dangerous. Life or death, she went with it as she fought for her freedom. What she did after becoming a free woman was something that no free African-American would ever ponder on. They told her to not go […]
When Crisis Feeds on Success
Humans tend to shy away from stressful environments like layoffs, loss of a job, being incarcerated, having a terrible record, but through those seasons life invites them on a new path. That is when we start generating thoughts of creativity, innovation and being a creator of something new. Yes, I do mean incarcerated. After a […]
Being Half Awake
It’s a trait that a lot of us hold (or used to hold) in the 21st century. It’s a habit that no one else knew it existed until the epidemic of social media addicts hit us. We are walking through life being half awake but at the same time daydreaming of what our lives could […]
How Your Mind Is Affected By Social Media
Your mind tells you that images on social media are there to conceive your acts. And it conceives at its highest potential. Your mind will tell you to buy things, and to eat things when you really shouldn’t be moments after seeing enticing images off food and stuff. Social media will silently try to expose […]
Stop Sitting on Your Lawn Chair & Watching Clear Blue Skies
There’s an unlimited amount of excuses your mind will create for every act you do. Your mind can be quite creative with the reasons of why not to do the next thing you were planning on. People wait until the weather is good, until kids grow up, until they fix up their house, until they […]
Opportunity vs. Luck
You think Bill Gates just got lucky and became a billionaire overnight? Just so you know he’s been programming for a total of seven years before he got his very first gig. And I mean programming for hours, nonstop, late hours, into the weekends, and at every single free moment he found available. He did […]
Why Creativity Is Not Important Anymore
Many people suggest that being a creative individual is the key to successful entrepreneurial path.

Why Hard Work Is Overrated
Hard work is not always rewarded with great victories. Many times we become immune to the hard work and think that one day it will all turn around for us. We end up losing track of our days, our projects and realize many years later we’re still in the same spot where we started from. […]
What History Shows About Your GPA
You’d be surprised to hear that history shows that passion, determination and the belief to become a success far supersedes the high GPA someone got in school. How well you did in school doesn’t represent how successful you will be. Did you know that Abraham Lincoln never went to college? He actually had very limited […]

The Power of Losing Your Identity
It’s that time when you go into the gym and have an intense workout. You come out and you’re amazed to look back to see how you did all that. It’s that time when you go into deep study sessions and pull all-nighters to prep for a final/test. You look back and say, I know […]
When Failure Is Not an Option
When you have a mindset that you will not be broken, shatter or beat down until you get to your goals and dreams, there will be no stopping. There will be success beyond measure. Look at the way immigrants work. There is no stopping for them. They come without any knowledge of how politics work, […]
