Just me and my grind

The pitch black sky early morning before sunrise . Hot breeze blowing , crickets still chirping and here i am just me and my vision . Me and the 5:30am hour , me and my grind . The day ahead will be long , it will come with many obstacles . However…. The bigger picture is what makes this grind a cakewalk . Today , many will see another day . Another day honestly scares the shit out of me . Another day that will turn into a life sentence for the normal minded individual . A constant aggravation that awakes with their tired bodies . Is my body tired on this grind today ? Honestly I can’t tell . That vision , that bigger picture , that time to acquire more knowledge after this shift is over is the painkiller to my body . While 95% of the world will punch the clock at the end of the day to go home to mindlessly browse social media , gossip , watch hours of television , play hours of video games and text others that are in the same boat as themselves , my shift will end 110% the opposite . When that final punch is put into that clock , I will be like a Rockstar waiting to rock his audience . Knowing the world is at my hands with just clicks of my fingers literally gives me the chills. How could i ever waste my time and pass on this greatest gift given to humanity . Today my grind will be greater due to what awaits me after my grind . Many will grind more hours than me today , doing overtime , multiple jobs etc . However my grind stops after I punch the clock . I transition From grind to gift . What does this mean ? …. Grind is your push , grind is you beating your alarm clock , grind is you pushing yourself for someone else’s bigger picture . Gift however is all on you . You can use what’s at your fingertips as a vehicle to a greater life or you can use it to do what you do on your daily grind . The choice is yours .

Why are we not Rich

In this endless rat race that takes us by storm on a daily basis it’s rare that we EVER have time to stop and devise a well thought out plan . A plan perhaps for us to get more , achieve something greater , maybe even a plan to rise up in a current job we’re in or better yet get out of the rat race completely. Is it possible ? Or is it all a pipe dream ? I think to call it all a pipe dream is completely ignoring the elephant in the room. All it takes is one look around you to see success . The sad part is we work in companies on a everyday basis and are surrounded by the success that has employed us . We never stop to think , to ask , to pick the brains of those around us. Instead we gossip , we browse social media on every chance we get , EVEN WHEN NOT ON BREAKS AND OR LUNCHES ! We talk and listen to unsuccessful co-workers who are in the same predicaments as us . Never thinking of speaking to the higher authorities surrounding us . It’s as if we feel there is no way out of our financial situation . However it’s as simple as pie . I was once told by a successful man .. . “The squeaky wheel gets the grease” Do you see the picture here ? It’s as simple as just breathing air . Let’s jump out of our comfort zone , let’s put fear aside , let’s talk and communicate with those around us who make a higher income , those who are seeking better than our mindless co-worker who is content with staying the same wage or at the same position . Let’s use social media for what it was originally designed for which is NET WORKING , not buddy working . To rise above our current situation and get to a better more richer life we must do what others are not doing . Always remember there are many levels to rich , if you want to reach your level of rich right away then start Net working and start asking questions and taking risks and step outside your comfort zone . Let not tomorrow be your day , start TODAY !

The Guaranteed 101 , On saving your business from the Retail Apocalypse !

In a time and era where almost anything you can think of is at the click of a finger , one has to ask … How did we come to this click of a finger generation ? And … Is it better or worse for future matters ? The times of walking into grocery stores , clothing stores , fast food restaurants and so on seem to have become grounds for what appears to be a atmosphere in a cemetery. Here are a few declining matters . The tidiness of retail establishments have taken a hit , aisles are now surrounded by men and women who appear to be angered , on edge and far from welcoming instead of the smiling , charming & welcoming staffs we once saw in previous generations before us . Countless amounts of businesses are constantly receiving emails , comments , complaints of employees roaming sales floors while tuned into their mobile devices way more than being in tune with their paid assignments . And let’s face it … (We know majority of the time these encounters with their Mobile devices is not business related at all.) From working in retail a total of 14 years myself , I have seen both the highs and lows of this field , and recently I must admit , I am currently seeing more lows ever than highs . Let’s Rewind to Yesteryear . Yesteryear Employees simply brought with them a better persona , better attitude and above all a better work ethic . But the question still lingers ….. So what is it that directly caused this shift to come about ? You see , before our country Reached this slap on the wrist society , business owners were once firm and fair . Firm as in , employers were much more aware during interviews when selecting to hire a new employee. And fair as in if you fulfilled your end of the deal in working for an employer they compensated the employee with much more than a competitive wage . Employers were also much more strict on informing employees to greet customers , smile , get merchandise to shelves efficiently and above all … No goofing around on the job . Nowadays it seems everything else is important but the paid tasks that the employer has assigned. If anyone thinks for even the slightest second that these reasons mentioned above have nothing to do with thousands of business’s across the United States closing & going bankrupt , then one must be completely blind to the fact . The fact of the matter is , no one wants to walk into a business and be faced with antisocial employees , angered employees and above all lazy employees. These things surely hurt business and the results are showing in record breaking numbers . When customers are not feeling welcomed , they will indeed move on to another establishment . When employees are not getting merchandise to shelves efficiently this absolutely leaves an opportunity open to customers to then go to another competitor of the business .So … What’s the solution ? Managers must return to being Fair but firm , because at the end of the day … All poor employee habits stem from poor management habits . Discipline can either make or break an employee . Make as in make an employee a phenomenal employee , or break them where as they will quit and or be replaced in hopes of hiring another more worthy employee . However. .. what management must not do is sit on the sidelines in their own field . You want to save your business from this click of a finger generation which is dominating all it’s competitors ? Then return to the yesteryear’s of retail . When it comes to saving the retail world , old school is the best school . Remember .. people still want interaction . People are only abandoning business’s due to the poor quality business’s are providing to them . Therefore leaving people no choice but to become online buyers . Have your employees put the work back into work . Discipline , train and above all communicate . Save the retail world today with a hello and a smile .

The Unseen Warrior

We all notice the hero’s that respond to fires , respond to crime , respond to medical emergencies . However … Very rare do we hear of the woman who jumps to each cry in the night loudly heard through a baby monitor . The sleep that is constantly lost , the anxiety of being a mom & wife all at once . They say between breakfast and sleep that these are the two most important life essentials . The mother has put to rest sleep the moment she’s laid her life on the line to bring her child into this world. Just as the fireman answers his or her alarm to respond to fire , a mom answers her alarm of cries in the middle of the night . Sacrificing her ultimate essential (SLEEP) ! Since the birth of my daughter I have seen a warrior that I have never even seen in myself . The day of my daughter’s birth I knew and recognized that my wife laid her life on the line for me and our daughter. Many women go unnoticed day in and out for their sacrifice . If only one person ever reads this only please realize what a mother goes through not only at birth but also during the month’s of nurturing . I write this article to get the brave women who I consider the unseen warriors the credit they deserve for the sacrifice they make . If you’re a father , next time you’re driving through town and hear a fire truck siren or police siren or paramedic siren , remember they’re not our only hero’s and that a hero resides right at home in your wife . Her siren is her baby monitor throughout the night , her emergency is your child’s unknown concern , her tasks are your daily meal , your tidy home . Remember to smile and be thankful for the warrior you have and please don’t let her go unseen nor unnoticed . I dedicate this to my warrior wife . Thank you for your sacrifice you mean more to me than you’ll ever know . I love you

The Decline in Men

Can anyone recall those old school videos of men climbing rope , running the track , doing calisthenics , or how about the men working on railroads . You know … The men in the black and white footage . You can kind of sense high Testosterone levels just by observing these glimpses . Now let’s fast forward to today’s men …. Laying on a sofa , game controller in hand , pizza box next to him , trash laying all over the living room floor etc. By now you have to be saying MY GOD WHAT HAS HAPPENED ?!?!?!?! It makes one ask , what will the future hold . Where will our construction workers come from , our plumbers , trash men etc.. With the decline we are now seeing in men it frightens me on what our society will look like in the years to come . With Tons of things being blamed for this crisis one can only ask what’s the solution . The solution is voicing our opinions . . Did you ever hear of the saying (a close mouth doesn’t get fed?) Well this saying applies to the solution thats needed . As much as there is declining men out there , there are also great ancient men still in society who are simply not voicing their opinions on matters . They will speak of it over coffee at the work site but won’t voice their opinion beyond that . We must speak of this matter with every chance we get . Speak your mind freely , let your testosterone levels show strong men . Let the weak stay confined to their sofa but let us strong men never relent !

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
