DON'T STAY IN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

3/16/2018

2 Comments

 
​Relationship Advice of the Day: One of the quickest ways to start looking old, gain unhealthy amounts of weight, and develop high blood pressure and other issues...
STAY IN AN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP, of any kind!

Relationships bring you into close proximity with people. Energy is contagious, and therefore, negative mindsets, thought processes, and habits are as well. There is nothing worse than being IN a relationship but still being alone and feeling unloved by the individual(s) with whom you're involved. This causes depression, self-esteem issues, and often feelings of not being good enough.

These thoughts have to be expressed outwardly, and often show up in the form of worry, sadness, and broken-heartedness. All of which show up in multiple forms of DIS-ease. Your overall health is most important. So, make the needed adjustments that create a healthy relationship, and be committed to learning the tools needed to be the best version of yourself in a relationship(s).

Depression, and lack of love primarily expressed through the lack physical touch and words of affirmation, are closely related. So, when you're in a relationship where you are not included and not affirmed, unless that relationship grows, the both of you will continue to slowly kill one another's goals, dreams, and desires. And what is life without faith, love, & hope that your goals, dreams, and desires are not only possible but probable? 

Until next time...

Count YOUR Blessings

Advice of the DAY: BE POSITIVE and COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS! Often, when things are not going the way we would like, it can be easy to get discouraged, become negative, and feel like a failure. While this may be the normal thing to do, it actually negatively effects the progress we desire.

One thing I often hear from people is complaints about their JOB, SPOUSE, CAR/HOUSE PAYMENT, etc.! If it's a friend, I remind them, "REMEMBER WHEN YOU DIDN'T HAVE A JOB? Or when you were wanting a spouse? Or when you were walking/on the bus?" It's important to remember to APPRECIATE where you aren't in your life and to TRUST GOD'S PLAN.

At the end of last year when things got a little heavy on me financially, because things didn't pan out the way I thought they would, due to my indecision and not enforcing the rental agreements, I started complaining and wanted to give up and sell everything I'd worked for in 2017. A few friends of mine talked to me and came by the house to encourage me. However, because I was in such a negative state of mind and COMPLAINING about what I had asked for not working out the way I thought it should, I couldn't see any other solution.

I was now in a state of WOE IS ME! It was not until I had a conversation with someone who told me very specifically, "So because one thing didn't work out, you're just going to sell everything? All of it? You put a lot of work into those houses, Armani! Building wealth is important to you. You sure you want to just sell them all?" Sometimes, when you're in a negative space, YOU HAVE TO BE REMINDED of your original FOCUS and GOALS.

What were my original goals? (1.) Transform my community/block and make it safe place to live (2.)Put good tenants in the houses who wanted to help create a sense of community (3.) Create long-term passive residual income through a solid investment vehicle in the event something were to happen. (4.) Create some income/jobs/skills for others in the community who may not otherwise be employable. (5.) Be an example of good to others who may want to do the same.

Why must YOU and I be reminded of our GOALS/DREAMS??? Because there was a time when what you have NOW was just an idea, desire, wish, or a dream. And because times will get tough and you will feel as if you aren't going to accomplish it. It's called doubt and it's a trick of that part of your MIND that doesn't like you.

So, instead of complaining and submitting to the negative thoughts, BE THANKFUL and know that you're blessed beyond measure, so count your blessings. WRITE THEM DOWN SO YOU CAN SEE THEM! Whatever you're going through it'll help you GROW through and get through it easier and quicker thank complaining will ever do. Until next time... #staypositive #keepthefaith #claimtheincrease #seeyouatthetop #dontletnobodykillyourdreams

Small Business Advice of the Day - 5/11/2016

5/11/2016

0 Comments

 
Do the work, and do it the BEST you can. Do it in and with the "Spirit of Excellence" and I promise you...the money will find you! You won't even have to go looking for the money or go chasing it. You will have people trying to search you out for your services.

Most small business owners are often concerned with GETTING THE MONEY! And while the money is important, it is not nearly as important as creating a good name for finishing the projects and delivering according to what you said you would do.

ALL small business owners, myself included, at some point have been a little over zealous and made rookie mistakes (usually happen because you have no mentor/coach) that caused them to "OVER PROMISE & UNDER DELIVER." Too many of these rookie mistakes will totally ruin your name and your business. You can only TALK about what you're going to do for so long before you end up having to PRODUCE some results for a client(s) or customer(s). Otherwise, your credibility goes out the window.

You have to DEVELOP your name as a trusted and reliable source. And well... this takes some time and some planning before your product(s) or service(s) being sought after begins to happen. However, as long as you focus on serving and servicing a client(s) and/or a customer(s) in the BEST possible manner in which you can, you will be amazed at the kind of calls, emails, and inquiries that you will receive.

In conclusion, DO THE WORK and DO THE BEST YOU CAN EACH TIME! 

If you have not ordered your copy of #BusinessIsWarfare CD or digital download set, and you are not making the kind of money you would like to make in business, I strongly encourage you to click the picture below.

Small business advise of the day: stop guessing!

4/7/2016

Small Business Advice of the Day: STOP GUESSING! It is okay if you don't know. However, if you're trying to be profitable in business, GUESSING IS NOT THE WAY! Every single time I have lost money in business or had a business to FAIL, it was because I was guessing. The same goes for every other client I know as well. Many small business owners strategy for success is to GUESS. That's why 80-90% are not successful, at all! You can't guess your way to business success. Guessing is NOT a viable business plan. When you don't know, you either pay someone to tell/show you, or you figure it out! Again, most never pay nor do they figure it out! I learned that the time it takes to figure something out could be used making more money, by just paying someone who knows whatever it is I am trying to figure out. If you're trying to have a profitable business, you have to have a strategic marketing plan.

There's a Universal law that states, "Like CAUSES produce like EFFECTS!" What this means is, if you make 1 dollar doing something, if you do the same thing a certain number of times, you should be able to to produce a dollar, all things being equal. Otherwise, you would have to be a good guesser to guess upon a viable INCOME over and over again. And, honestly, every successful business owner I know would not credit "guessing" as part of their business strategy. This is the purpose of research and development in many major corporations. They would rather use hundreds and thousands of dollars on Research and Development as opposed to losing millions of dollars launching a product or service that public doesn't want. This is also the purpose of training, accounting departments, and almost every other department in a major corporation. They are all part of the SUCCESS PLAN.

Startups and small businesses don't go from one or two person operations to large 400-500 person corporations solely because they had money or investors. The most successful companies have GOALS, OBJECTIVES, and proven STRATEGIES to reach these goals and objectives. Once they know what works, they implement these strategies over and over again! Many times it's not what you know, it's the one or two things that YOU DON'T KNOW that causes success and/or failure of your small business.

Do you have a professionally written marketing plan?

I Need Some Inspirational Quotes

5/9/2015

1 Comment

 
A social media friend of mine, whom I have communicated withover the years, but never met because he lives in Africa, messaged me on Facebook about needing some inspirational quotes last night. I decided I would write this full blog post instead because a quote is often NOT ENOUGH.

---

MaDu, listen Bro...

IF you're discouraged, here are a few things to do:

1.) Understand that whatever you are going through is TEMPORARY. It is not forever!  As the song goes,  "I'm so glad TROUBLE DON'T LAST ALWAYS!" Once you accept the fact that THIS TOO SHALL PASS, you'll feel so much better about everything.

2.) THEN, You have to line up mentally with the desire you're wanting. Meaning,  you can't be hypocritical about the change or progress you desire. You can't say to your mind, "I want to lose weight,"  and when your mind replies back to you,  "Ok. Stop eating so much of the wrong things and workout 3 times a week," but you don't. You're out of line with the what you're saying you desire. So, basically DO YOUR PART!

3.) FOCUS on the SOLUTIONS and not the problems. When you know the methodology of solving a problem, you understand that the solution is gained by following the process.  Which brings me to the next step...

4.) APPRECIATE the PROCESS! The Bible says,  "In ALL things, give thanks!  There's no progress without the process. The process can be your ENEMY or it can be your FRIEND.

For example: When you submit to the PROCESS of solving a math problem,  you get the answer or a very near correct answer. Guess what,  life is the same way. Not all your problems in life are going to be basic math. Some of your problems are going to be like Algebra, Geometry,  Calculus, Trigonometry, Statistics or those Corporate Finance case studies. Either way, SUBMIT yourself accordingly to the PROCESS and you will PROGRESS faster to your SUCCESS!

5.) Learn from your mistakes and your SUCCESSES. Know that no matter how much people may front like they were born gifted, few people in the world are actually born gifted in any area. Most people (99%) never get it right the first time! Therefore, understand that you probably won't either, and that's okay. Just keep learning.

6.) DON'T QUIT and Be Patient! There are two types of people in life, SUCCESSFUL people and those who quit! Life can be like the long line at the Post Office. Sometimes when you go to the post office and there's a long line outside the door you have two choices, stand in line or leave.

If you leave the line,  you'll have to come back later if you want to make sure your purpose for coming there is fulfilled.

"If you can stay in line long enough, eventually you'll get to the front of the line!"


7.) STAY POSITIVE! It's hard to attract anything positive with a negative mindset and negative surroundings. STAY POSITIVE or FAIL!

How do you stay positive? Well, I'll tell you more on that next week in another blog.

I hope this helps you Bro!
