10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY “MOORISH RENAISSANCE”
“No knowledge of self means no spiritual health” Chaka Dillon El What is Moorish Renaissance? Technically speaking, it’s a music Cd that was written to address major issue’s that are being faced with the “Moorish Muslims” today. However, this is more than that, it’s a call to action for the American inter-city and to the African-American people. I dare say that’s it’s even more than that, it’s a call to action to ALL people, calling us out on issue’s that we would rather pretend don’t exist in America today. This is technically a music cd but actually it’s the beginning of a movement to wake people up to the fact that if we’re going to change anything then it starts with us. This movement encourages us to stop talking about all the things we “want” to do and to shut up and start doing them! It talks about our children and their future and how we need to be…
PEDALLING, SCREAMING, AND THE CRAZY GUY!
I’m going to be honest and tell you a story that’s pretty embarrassing to me but I hope it helps you out (don’t laugh at me!). When I was about nineteen years old my car got repoed, yeah that’s right I’m admitting it, I didn’t pay the car note and they took it. The problem was I still had to get to work so what would I do? I had to bike to work everyday. Now understand I mean a bike with pedals that you use your feet to move, not some cool motorcycle, it was quite embarrassing everyday to pedal into our warehouse. It wasn’t a far drive from my house to the warehouse but every morning felt like I was racing in the Tour De France, I would get to the warehouse and needed to take a nap! One morning I was riding like I normally do at…
ARE YOU MAKING ENOUGH MONEY BEING SELF EMPLOYED?
“No matter what kind of self-employed business you do, you need to make at least $28 an hour for it to be worth your time.” Kevin Viel If you have worked in a traditional job for any amount of time when you go into business for yourself and receive that first check for your services, it’s going to seem like you hit the lottery. I remember the first check I got when I went on my own and started a business, there’s just a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment. Then week after week I would get great checks that got bigger and bigger as I did more work and it motivated me to push harder to build my business. This is how it should be but there were a few things I really didn’t think about and maybe you’re starting out and might miss them as well. It would be…
WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT MARRIAGE FROM A SINGLE GUY AND HOW IT APPLIES TO OUR WORK
I know that this is a work related blog so don’t worry, I’ll tie this post into our work (maybe) HA! This past weekend my best friend got engaged to his girlfriend of two years (YEAH!), and it really got me thinking about him and their relationship and weirdly, work. He has asked me to be the best man, the reason it got me thinking so much is what my speech is going to be about, I thought about what I’m going say and that’s what I’m going to tell you in this post. I’m impatient so I’m not going to be able to wait until June 15, 2013 when he gets married to keep all this inside, so you’re going to get the brunt of it (HA). I watched what my friend went through when him and his wife of six years went through a divorce and how rough the end part of that…
IT COULD ALWAYS BE WORSE
Everyone at one point or another feels like they have the worst job in the world! Is this how you feel about your job right now? For the longest time I hated my job with a passion, I thought I’d rather work at any other job in the world. Sometimes you just get in a rut and it seems like everything that could go wrong at your job, does go wrong. The bad thing about it is that it keeps piling up week after week, all of the anger from these situations builds up and you get to the point where you just feel like there’s no other option then to leave. This is exactly what happened to me and how I felt about 3 months ago, I can’t say that at this point I love my job, but I can definitely tolerate it. If you are in the stage…
NO BETTER FEELING
It’s been easier and harder than I thought on this path to work that I love! Have you ever thought something was going to turn out a certain way and it kinda was in between what you thought? That’s where I find myself right now. I thought long and hard, I even prayed for the answer, and I got it. I discovered that the thing I love to do and the thing that I’m passionate about is writing, more specifically, writing about our work. So with that in mind I did the most naturally thing I could think of with writing, I wrote a book. Book sales have gone well, at least that’s what you would say. For me though, I want to wake up and see that I’ve sold 10,000 (I know it sounds greedy) copies. I have seen that it’s going to be a little bit of a…
