It's been a while.

 Soo, whats up yo!

I used to be on here all the time years ago and had some great followers. You may not be around anymore.

But if you are. I'm checking in with you saying whats up!


These past few years have been something else yo.

I moved from Ontario, California to San Diego about 4 1/2, 5 years ago.


I've had about 7 different job. Quit every single one to move up and move forward.

When ever I feel like a job isn't working out, I just leave. 


I'm also married now. If you didn't know this.

I gave my wife the wedding of here dreams and we got married in the forrest. 


It was such an awesome experience. We also have two children. 

Our son is 6 years old and our daughter is 2 years old. 


My wife hasn't worked basically sense my son was born. 

I'm the guy who wants, all the family pressure on his back. 


There are certain male traits which I value. So I live by them.

I'm a simple man. I just have humongous goals. 


I don't know what God's plan is for me. 

But, I know what I would like it to be. It would involved lots of love, help and consistency. 


But yea. I was just shooting an update on this blog. I'm going to post a little more than before.

If you read this far, thanks for your time and I hope you have a amazing day today!

My September 15th, 2019

Today started like any normal day.

I woke up, went to work!

Sold some shit. I sell cars at Diamond Auto Sales. Just had to throw it out there.lol

Got off work, hoped in my Honda Civic and cruised down the 8 freeway. Heading west bound looking at the breathe taking sky from the sunset in San Diego.

Windows down, sunroof back and of course, blasting some Caveman, " In the City".



Ohh what a day.



So glorious and righteous.

The only thing missing is ripping a fat bowl.lol hahahahaha lmfao " just kidding"lol hahaha

But what a day man.

I hope your day was as great as my day was.

Today, I discovered something about myself. See!!


I took a copywriting course this morning. Hours before I went into work and it had me all wired up with copywriting.

I once dreamed and still dream to be a great copywriter one day.

Today marks the 3rd day of me reading the "Ogilvy on advertising" book.


 I was heavily recommend to get this book by a great copywriter ( Neville Medhora), so I listened to him and got it.

So far this book amazing and I'm already writing again.

I'm learning how important to write daily and to do much research, especially when client's involved.

Research is what separates the good from the great.

Lately, it's been very important to myself to learning from people I look up to and respect.

Oh a side note, do you live in America? If you do, mann we're so lucky.

Hope you understand how lucky me and you are right now, this country is fu*king amazing country.

Like, you know how easy it is to find a good mentor and a successful person to model in America and their everywhere. In every direction in America.

To me, there will never be a better place in the world, than the beautiful United States of America.

For real tho!! ohh and in another note!



Quit giving this country such a hard fucking time. It came from somewhere dark and evil and it's transforming into something better. Facts, like or not!

This country has created more opportunities than any country in the world, even if they combined them all.

We just need to focus more on building more opportunities with people who are not online. I think we should create more spaces to learn and create. Like more innovative brick and mortar stores that are designed for the future we're heading towards or better schools that teach tech, creativity, health and success at younger ages.

Change the work atmosphere to be a dope and genuinely a happy place to be. It's possible!

You know how there are a lot of people online. But in retrospect, there are also a lot of people who are not online.

The people not online will need to be looked out for in the future.

If you weren't where you wanted to be in life right now.

Just imagine that you were. That you were living the life of your dreams. What would you do? Are you a simple person, like myself.

Are you a person who wants the big houses with the fancy cars. Who are you.

The one thing I'm learning is that the internet can hugely bring all your dreams into fruition.

Find joy in the attempts of going for it, there is more joy in risk. Remember that!

Find joy in waking up and just breathing when you wake up. That's real fucking lucky.

Give thanks, show more love.

No matter where you are in life financially. We all have one life to live, make sure you're smiling.

America will transform into the castle it setting itself up to be.

I'm justing letting my mind mumble on now!

Thanks for reading.

If I needed to leave you a message. I would say Just Try. Just try to be nice, just try not to be a bitch, try to show love. Try to have habits younger people can look up to.

You don't have to be a role model to be a good example.

Have a great night tonight.

p.s. This is me pouring my brain. If you can relate or enjoyed the read or you're like fuck this guy. Hey you read this far, Leave a comment.  Don't have anything to say, drop a number " 2 " !!

Go Against the Odds

The video below has touched in a way, most videos have not.

Elon Musk inspires me. He's such a forward thinker and is willing to lose it all for his ideas.

I want that drive in me so bad.

I'm trying to find my inner power and my inner willingness to work harder for my dreams. That non fear of failure and willingness to go for it.

I personally want to make a difference in this world while I'm here.

I want to inspire, motivate, I want people to look at me and say keep going and continue doing what you're doing.

I know there are going to be people who are not going to support me and my bigger visions. There might even be people who hate me and that's fine.

But that's enough of me running on and on. Take a look at the video below and see if it touches you in some way.

It may or may not effect you like it did to me.

Just know, when you believe in something and know it's something you personally want,  just go for it.

Take the risk and don't stop trying. Learn and act like the greats.

Enjoy.

Getting into my new habit

I'm back on my blog and it feels good.

I literally disappeared from here for a while and I think it was because I have so much going on in my head.

Ever since I moved my family and me to San Diego I went into a full video content creation mode. I feel like I almost forgot that enjoyed to write in my blog.

I've been on it for years but I thought if I focused on one thing that would be a good thing for me.

But, after the time I spent away, I felt like I was missing something. And that something was just doing more of the things I enjoy.

I'm also used to make beats years back and I'm also picking that back up as well.

I'm one of those people that like to do all different types of things.

With my older brother, who is only one year older than me, being locked up in prison for that last 13 years he's made me want to do more and more.

My wife and I also recently had my beautiful daughter America Jo Triggs. She's awesome.

She has touched me in a way my son didn't. My son changed me and made me want to just be here for him and show him to toughen up and be a responsible young man.

But my daughter. Sheeesh

I just don't know man. I was raised with all brothers and I'm not sure what to do.

I've received much advice from many women and they all say I will figure it out and just to listen to her.

The one certain thing she makes me feel deep inside myself to accomplish my goals.

I have very big visions of the future and I know I want to make those things come to life.

I know I need to position her to be able to do what she wants to do with her life. I don't want my daughter to ever feel as though she needs anyone. I want her to understand the importance of love and happiness.

This is definitely one thing I miss about this blog. I can just let my mind go and write.

I love to just write and pour my brain out on this computer.

I'm also really interested in affiliate marketing. I've been doing much research and with the lifestyle, I want to live. This type could definitely allow me to live the life I want with freedom and also allow me to speed much quality with my family.

This blog will transition with me and my many adventures.   I'm going to try and keep this blog up and going and allow it to grow with me.

Thanks for reading and I be back tomorrow. Peace

I have been searching for multiple places online on how to make money. I've tried a few things and all of the things I have tried has to lead me to affiliate marketing.

Our Kanye West

Hey.

If you're a real Kanye West fan, then I fucks with you bruh.

I feel like this man is life changing.

I believe Kanye West can single handedly change society. And it's slowly happening. 

As this new generation of kids/teenagers grow in this instagram influencer world we live in. It's creating a huge change in our society. Believe it or not.

I believe, the future is going to be very cool. 

More love. More money. More success. More things. More positive vibes. Less hate. 

Like on some, real life shit!

The current state of America is fueled by a bunch of bullocks. (bullshit)

False stories, fake news, laziness and so on. Bullshit, single minded way of thinking and living. 

The goal of America is to dream big and act. But the actions of most Americans , are over think and and judgmental.

Here's a few questions to ask yourself. What is your first thought, test your subconscious!

Do you believe what you hear or read? 

Do you believe America is a good or bad country? Do you believe Russia is a good or bad country? 

Do you believe Kayne West is a genius? Do you believe Kayne West is a fucking idiot? 

Do you love someone else, that's not in your immediate your family?

Do you believe in the unseen?

__________________________________________________________________ 

This world is going through another HUGE transition in history. 

Like, how it went from hanging black people in your front lawn, to "My president is Black, my Lamborghini is blue. 

This new generation is a becoming a Kanye West generation. 

Just like a we are all living in a Steve Jobs generation. He made a shift in society with iPhone's and technology. 

Kayne is shifting society through music, education, design, love and self truth.  

Many of us in our 30's, grew up listening to Mr. West. The people who listened to his music, were usually always the cool kids. Most were hype beast. 

He is the scapegoat for us. He is the one that wrote " Jesus Walk ".

He also wrote "What Don't  Kill Me, Only Makes Me Stronger.   

This man needs to start opening up schools. He needs to teach the freedom of thought. The mind he has. The things that he chooses to learn, the actions and the many many awards he's attained. 

Did you know he has a Ph D in the Fine Arts? check out his graduate speech.



As the years progress and more truth comes to light. 

This world will become more honest and more free.

This world will be connected as one, one day.

With all these new leaders and free thinkers stepping into position. They will have different views and take different actions. They will have the knowledge of what the world really wants and needs and acts on it. 

I believe this is the best time in life and it's only getting better. Day by day, minute by minute. 

I named this post Our " Kanye West"  because he's one of my leaders.

He teaches us it's okay to have so many random thoughts and things to say about life.

He gives us permission to speak our mind when we are angry and say hell aww to the incorrect. 

Our Kanye West lives up to his own capabilities and we should do the same. Just like he preaches. 

As we grow with our Kayne West, the world will become more honest and free with him ever so changing for more greatness.

Thank you Kayne West.

Gary Vee Episode 355

This was a very impactful video for me. The thought of Legacy being looked at as greater than currency is a Big Fucking deal.

It's the biggest thing to me because of my current life position. I have a great job but it's not what I want to do for my life.

The big picture is what I'm living for and when I hear a multimillionaire say this is what it's a;; about then I'm all on board.

I create content and create, create, create more and more. I am forcing myself to work. I'm changing my surroundings and the things I listen to every day.

I fucking with everything in my life to make a global Legacy. I try and do things to stay as active as possible. I can't wait until I look back on this post and say.

I kept it going and didn't stop striving and now I'm here. Fucking look at me mutherfucker.

Just getting in my fucking zone not being scared. Watch this fucking video.

Let's Go. Get yourself in your zone, you can do it. Just do the reps baby, every day. Do the reps.

Thank you Gary.

Jay-Z Interview with Dean Baquet

This was one of the best interviews I've seen in a while.

It's great to hear Jay-Z talking his life as a black man in America and how he really goes into the issues with his wife Beyonce.  He still kinda dodges the questions a little bit but he touches on the subject enough to get you to understand he was in some shit with her.

I also appreciate Dean for asking some really good questions. You can see it in Jay-Z's face how much those questions really hit him.

But if you have the time check out this interview and let me know what you think?

Update | Controlling my morning

Now, I'm starting to realize that the only way for me to get on this blog more, I have to wake up a little earlier and just type.

I went to bed at 11:45pm and woke up at 6am. I woke to positive affirmations in my mind, believing I will have a great day today. I wrote out my daily goals today, then I went on facebook and start reaching out to people in the marketplace looking to sell their cars. I had this idea of reaching out to people directly that's trying to sell their cars. I'll let you know how it turns out.

After that I took my dog on a power walk this morning built my body temperature up but I didn't sweat. I'll work on that tomorrow. I hit about 80 plus push up and some stomach workouts.

As I worked out I was listening to Gary Vee's new post on youtube. check out below. Great information.



So far my morning has been fucking great.

I made myself get and go. So get your ass up and go after your shit today.

YOU GOT THIS YO!

Wednesday, November 29, 2017

Poured out of my brain.

Hey you,

I hope all has been well. These past few months have been so interesting. I've been focusing on building my business and brand at work. With that now being my focus, I've been slowly not focusing on the other things in my life.

One main thing is writing my book. If you look at my post on here I've been in a non-updating mode on here is sad.

When you start focusing on things and doing things with your life, it can be challenging. I've been reading a little more. I finished The Secret last month and I'm currently reading Purple Cow by Seth Godin which has been a great read so far.

But it's like too much on my mind. At least that's how I feel right now and I'm trying to get better and change. Planning on building and learning and doing and taking care of a family is like such a big thing to me.

My thoughts are just coming out my mind right now and this may not make sense to you but I just need this vent.

When I come back to my blog and reflect on the things I've done and where I'm trying to go. I gotta start really focusing on my daily actions.

That's what the key is in moving in the direction you want to go. You gotta focus on the daily actions and the daily goals. But it's not easy.

Moving forward and getting ahead in life is a very daunting task. You really gotta grind things out and just go. The direction and the things you do may not even make sense but you just gotta keep going.

You gotta build up some type of momentum in your daily actions and just accomplish something. Even if it's as easy as flossing and brushing your teeth. Or just anything, just win at something every day no matter how your life currently is.

I really had to just sit down today and write. I fucking miss doing this so much. I want to write and spill my life onto you and the world because I feel as though I can give you great insight and great inspiration.

I want to inspire people. I want to change the America and the World. I have a feeling inside of me telling me I can change the world and leave my legacy to the world knows I was here. I still have a long way to go. I have a lot of work to do but I'm striving.

I'm making many mistakes but I'm trying and going after all I can accomplishing small things on a daily basis and it's allowed me to feel great daily. I believe that you and the people of the world can feel better about the world.

If you're also on a path to try and change the world, drop a message or say whats up.

Thanks for reading and I believe you will have an amazing day today. Just remember accomplish one thing at a time, the world is yours.

It's been a minute...

Soo you know how I get caught up in the shits. That's what happening in my life right now.

I got that job selling cars at DCH Honda of Mission Valley.

Do I like working here? Yes.

Do I work hard? Hard.

Do I stay very busy, oh hell yea.

I've never worked for a Honda car dealership in my life. And damn, it's exactly what you would expect. Freakin busy ass hell.

Or at least that's how MY dealership is. I never have much downtime. There is always a customer who needs assistance.

I've been working for this place about 2 months now and I've been enjoying it. The work atmosphere consists of all types of people. Young, old, black, mexican, asian, white and etc.

I'm really liking it, but it takes a lot of my personal life.

I feel like this is the sacrifice currently needed to get me in a better position to take care of my wife, my son, the rest of my family and my friends.

The way we're trying to balance our $2700 monthly bills has not been an easy ride.

But we're definitely getting there.

N -e - wayz.

Just droppin a quick line. I hope all is well with you and I hope you've been having a great beginning of your holiday season.

A Quick What's UP and a Little Motivation!!

Whats good bruh,

Okay. I've been super missing in action on my blog for ther past few days.

3 Steps for Guaranteed Success

Do you want to be successful?

I hoped out of my bed, walked into my office and pop'd open my laptop. I then landed on this random video from Mr. Vivek Bindra . He's so full of energy, he's pumped up and packed with great information.

He hit on some great points and delivered some insightful information. These steps are easy to accomplish and will definitely help you think begin seeing changes in your life.

Now, if you want success, you have to have create a plan. 

See the steps below and apply them to your life daily to help you reach your goals and watch how success begins to happen in your favor.

1. Know What You Want

Set a goal and become clear. You need clarity. You need to focus on specific goals. You need to know what you and what you have to do.

This clarity will allow you to live with purpose.

When you know what you want, know where your going and know what has to be completed, growth begins happening in your life. Apply this to all areas of your life and see a huge change inyour and your life.

2. When You Stretch You Grow. 

When you stretch your limits you stretch your mind. You have to change your limits and expand your mind of what your think you can do. When you expand your limits, great things begins to happen. 

You have to stretch yourself. You have to push pass those limiting beliefs you've previously had and dominate yourself. You must find the motivation, the power, the thing inside of you that makes you act and go for it.

Once you begin stretching yourself you can and will become limitless. When you feel limitless  you can do anything.

Set higher goals for yourself. 10X your current goals right now!

With this mindset and right work ethic, the world is yours. 

3. Any You Cannot Measure You Cannot Improve.

You have to know the analytics. You have to know the results of what your doing. You have to be able to measure what your doing and keep track.

When you create a plan and begin doing the necessary things to move towards your goals you have to measure, so you can see things happening. This will give you the will power to keep acting and you will begin believing in yourself.

You have to focus on the end result and take each step necessary to reach that goal.

Plan, control, organize, actuate. 

Start now. Begin figuring out what you want to do and set some stretch goals today. 

Get out a pen and paper, a laptop or your cell phone and begin brainstorming. 

Take notes and begin acting them, Now.

Make sure your creating goals that are beyond you and stretch yourself. 

Understand the end result and begin tracking your daily actions to get you where you want to go.

Follow these three steps daily and watch things in your life begin to change.

I was working for ADT security systems and I couldn't take it anymore. This was one of those, get over people sales jobs and I just can't-do it.

If you've ever seen guys walking around your neighborhood or your business with the blue stop sign on their chest, it was an ADT security salesman.

The job started out okay. I meet some really cool people, I got to travel to Texas but it's just not the sales job for me.

When I would call sold clients,  they would go off on me, yell at me and start talking about how annoyed they were with our services.

At first, I thought this would be a great company. Just think about it, we're protecting peoples homes, their families, their businesses, their investments. That's fulfilling.

But that was not the case.

People felt like we were getting over them. Now I'm not that type of salesman. I'm the type of salesman that likes selling things that make people happy and I help them get what they want and need.

Like after a purchase they felt like they received something they loved and they use it and it makes them feel fulfilled. Just like when I buy stuff.

But that was not the case. Most people felt like it was a waste of money. It's just one of those things that you need but doesn't really want to buy.

People really just wanted a low price and I don't blame them.

It's just like car insurance. You want the lowest price with the best coverage. But in the alarm business,  as long as the police are called most customers could really give a damn for the prices. There wasn't a HUGE benefit to going with ADT. At the end of the day, all the services were kinda the same.

ADT is the largest and first alarm company. They started the alarm business, that's cool. They have more service areas around the country to help customers. But they didn't put the customers first. They way they treated customers kinda sucked. With the company being so big, it took forever just to get a technician to come by and check your issues. Which didn't make any fucking sense?

They would try and charge customers for everything. The customer would call and they would be charged for a tech just to come look at their issues. It's fucking ludicrous.

At the end of the day, there was no real benefit going with them over any other alarm company that made them dramatically different.

They weren't innovative, they weren't up to date on new technology. Just another old company that's waiting for some new dope tech company to come take it over.lol

Sorry I had to get that out. That job was so hyped out when I started. They really knew how to paint the dream. smh

Sooo you're probably thinking. Okay, Travis. You're quitting ADT, now what are you going to do?

To be honest, I wanted to work for an advertising agency. I've been submitting application after application and they have not responded to me. That's my dream.

Just imagine coming into work, wearing regular clothes. I have swag I'll look good and using my mind to build businesses and create innovative things, come up with different strategies and make companies succeed and grow. That's what the fuck I'm talking about. That's the dream.

But it's taking to long for a response. I'm a father, my wife is a stay at home mom and I'm the bread winner. On top of that, I live in one of the most beautiful and expensive places in the country, San Diego. Sooo, I had to make a rational decision and go back to what I know, what I like and what I'm good at. And I'm back to selling vehicles.

Yes, cars. My boy works at the local Honda dealership and I called just to say what up and it turned into me asking him, " Hey bro, yall hiring"?

When I told him that, he said they have an opening in their Internet department. I was like oh shit that'll be dope. Then this guy says, " hold on bro, let me see if I could get you an interview".

15 minutes later he calls me back and says come down to the shop and let the general manager interview you today. I was like ohh shit.lol

So of course, I went down, got interviewed and got hired on the spot.

I'm still going through the hiring process but I was interviewed by two of the managers and they obviously liked me since they hired real quick. So, I'm almost officially a new internet salesman at DCH Honda in Mission Valley.

This shit happened way too quick.lol

I needed a new job though. I didn't go into too much detail on how this job at ADT drained my bank account. I'm fuckin living on fucking credit cards right now.smh All bad.

But we'll see how it works out.

I'm still not giving up my dream of working at an advertising agency. I just want the experience to help me build my own agency. Hopefully, this new job puts me a better financial situation to help build my agency like I want.

I will never give up on my dream.

I might have to do some Grant Cardone stuff and start a youtube channel talking about sales and success. Who knows. lol

One thing I do know is, I'm selling cars again and people love buying cars. People love Hondas, I even own a Honda.lol

I know when I follow up with my clients, they'll be happy and excited about their purchase. I can have fun with my customers again and make people smile again. I'm kinda of excited.

I gotta get outta here and get through my last week here at ADT. Watch me start selling a bunch of alarms before I leave.lol

I wouldn't even care, I'm so over it. I'm thankful for this new opportunity, wish me luck.

Have a great day today bruh bruh. Talk to you soon.

Want to become a Millionaire ideas?

If you want to become millionaire and you're not yet, Listen Up!

If you listen to people give you advise about the the routes needed to become a millionaire,  choose the right people to listen to.

In this new world we live in, there are so many different opinions and ideas of becoming a millionaire. 

After I watched this video by Engineered Truth [video below] put together, it made me realize how interesting perspectives are, when trying to becoming a millionaire and taking advise.

Don't listen to anyone who doesn't make you feel happy about what you're doing. If you're a person who likes to work your face off and you don't believe in having a life, certain people maybe the perfect for you to listen to.

But if you want to have a life and enjoy yourself while becoming a millionaire, listen to people who are happy and are millionaires. 

I don't think either guy on this video is wrong. Their just two different people with two different perspectives. 

You just gotta "Do You".

Working hard daily, learning from your mistakes, building a great team and getting shit done is what it's about at the end of the day.

This video really made me laugh and I had to post it. 

Let me know your thoughts on this " How To Become A Millionaire " reaction video.

Do you agree or disagree with his reaction?

Update | I'm starting my Media Company.

I've finally found a partner, my company has begun.

These past few months, I've been wanting to do something to help people like yourself make money.

My goal in life is to help make as many people rich as possible. I want to help poor people, middle class people, rich people, everyone.

The name of my company is Ventum Media. The word "Ventum" is latin for breeze. And that's exactly how I want people to look at my company. Like it's a fucking breeze to work with us. 

I see so many companies with people who only focus on the marketing and creative side of building marketing businesses. I starting to understand what makes us different.

I've been a salesman for the last 15 plus years of my life. My dad and most of all my uncles are salesman, so it was in my blood. I've sold, clothes, shoes, cars, donuts, newspaper, mattresses, hats, motorcycles, off road toys, websites, helmets, promotional products, custom home designs, alarms systems and much more. 

When working with my new media company, we will always focus on the sales and growth of you and your business. 

The one most important things I've learned in my years of sales is the lack of awareness the companies I've worked for provides for the individual salespeople. 

Look at how many marketing companies do work for businesses and they do nothing that involves the employees of the businesses. They don't do nothing to help the individual people who actually work for the company, the people on the front lines.

The main reason why is, they we're never in the trenches as a sales person. And if they were sales people, they weren't doing it long enough to realize how important it was for them to be in front of as many people as possible as well. To stay in front of customers at all times. 

Ventum Medias main focus is to market companies and individuals. Mainly the sales people. We will use the people in the business and tell the stories of the people in the business, to help build the business and spread awareness.

This will ultimately help build for the individual people who work for the specific businesses we work with. Which will definitely help bring them more awareness to them, which means more leads and ultimately more profits for everyone.

Marketing is great, but it's deeper than just marketing a product and that's it. I personally believe marketing is about spreading awareness of people and products through stories and whys. 

It also helps people working for a business feel apart proud of where they work. Which will increase employee loyalty, just imagine working for a company and they market you the salesperson and the product. They would make you feel like you're apart of the family and the growth of the business.

There was a time in history when people mattered just as much as the products that were sold. That's the part of history we want to stand for and represent moving into the future of business. 

Everyone is so focused on the marketing the product and their not thinking about the people who are selling the product. These people need exposure too ya know. 

This is a little intro into my new company. I'm also writing a book on this idea, I can't tell you the name yet, but your going to FUCKING LOVE IT. 

My goal right now is to build the foundation of my business. I'm going to take my time and build this machine slowly. Make many mistakes and fuck shit up but always move forward. 

In the current state of my company, I beginning to understanding who we are, what we are trying to do, what makes us different and how we can truly help make you rich. 

I'm also huge Gary Vaynerchuk fan. And if I'm going to build my own machine, I might as well build it like the person I believe is the best fucking marketer of all time. 

I'm so down for being like Gary, my partner is russian like him. So I have a little piece of him around me as I build my business. lol It's super random, it wasn't intentional but it happened to fall that way and I'm down for it. My partner actually lived a few cities away from him. Super random.

But, I'll end it right here for now. I'm still working my 9 to 5 and I have to get to work. 

If you're interested in having some conversations about my business and how we can help you with some ideas, contact us at ventummedia@gmail.com. 

Until then, Have a Great Day today.

My nigga Asap Rocky

Nothing like hearing a hood nigga talking positive.

This new world we're living and the influence my black community is pouring onto this world amazes me. We're changing societies views on who we are as a people, even though we still receive so much backlash.

But from where we came from 60 years ago, to now. I only see growth in a positive light.

We need more positive black people doing things of the now. Like using technology and talking. Everyone in this world needs to be more positive not just black people. But, I am a black man in born and raised in America and I identify with the struggles we go through on a daily basis and the inner battles we must fight with.

To keep us in the right light, staying focused on the positive things we can control. By, having the best time we can while we're here on the earth should be the focus and that's my focus.

Talking positively, being Positive, doing positive things is the key to our success.

It's a blessing to hearing Asap Rocky talk in this light. Thank you, Evan Carmichael, for putting this together.

Listen up and get inspired. Jiggy niggas on the rise to positive freedom.

SWAG WHOOP...

9/11 Never Forget

This event will never be forgotten by me or my country.

I still can't believe all the conspiracy that was involved around in this horrific incident.

I pray for all of the families and victims in this tragic event. #GodBlessAmerica

A Valuable Business Strategy

I follow many different types of people online that give me great daily information.

I recently started following this guy named Roy Furr. I originally began following Roy because of my interest in copy writing. 

He creates these youtube videos and posts weekly jewels. 

In the video below, he presents a great strategy on how to build your business to a sustainable, growing business. This strategy helps will help your business grow quickly and you will see results quicker than most traditional ways of building a business.

This was the first time I've heard this type of business strategy. I'm sharing this video because it made me think about the way I want to start building my own business. I believe this information would be very valuable to any person building anything where revenue is involved.  

The strategy, in a nutshell, focuses on maximizing the customer experience.

Check out the quick 5-minute video below. It may possibly help you change the way you're approaching your current business venture or help you rethink a new way of moving your business forward.

Figure out what you want to do with your life and treat it as if you're already late.

Get on your shit and get things done. Value your self more and have a since of urgency.

Don't wait until it's to late to accomplish your dreams and goals.

Great pump up from Daniel DiPiazza this morning.

Do you want to remember more things you learn?

This morning, I did the normal morning routine. Hopped out of bed, used the rest room and start looking for interesting things to learn.

As I was looking for interesting things, I start thinking to myself. " I learn so much information and I forget so much of the information at the same time."

Then I did what everyone does, I googled it. And I found myself clicking an attractive headline, which read:

"How To Retain 90% of Everything You Learn". 

Great headline, right!

The writer starts the article having us imagine having a bucket of water. And every time the bucket was filled up, 90% of the water leaked out. Which you would ultimately fill up once or get a larger bucket.

The writer then goes into depth and explains the idea by saying that's how our minds work. When we receive new information from a book, a lecture, an audio book and so on. We're really just wasting our time because we're not properly learning.

The writer then brought up the idea of "The Learning Pyramid". 

On a quick side note, I'm only giving you my take away from the article, which I think you should definitely read for yourself. The link is below.

But, back my take away.

He basically says we as people struggle with remembering the things because we don't teach what we learn. That's the key.

We have to teach what we learn to help keep the information in our heads.

I can completely agree with this thought processes. For the past few weeks, I've been studying the copy writing industry and they have a similar idea.

They say the best way to learn copy writing is to rewrite great copy writing.

When you learn something new and teach someone, it begins making more sense in your own brain.

Like what I'm doing right now. I'm writing out what I learned to the best of my ability and it's making more sense as I'm writing this out.

I think the main reason is that I'm probably not 100% correct on what I'm saying. But it doesn't matter. The goal is to make mistakes and learning from those mistakes. Like, I'm probably not giving you the best take away but the more I'm talking about this, I'm becoming more confident in this idea.

By taking the steps and either talking to someone about what you've learned or if you have no one, simply writing it down will increase your memory of new information ten fold.

So the next time you learn something new, teach someone.

That's the key to retaining new information that goes into your brain.

Now, go check out this article and let me know what your take away is. Let me know what you've learned from the article and let's discuss it together.

Teach me something.

3 steps to help you do what you believe in.

Do you have your own thoughts on what you believe in and do what you love?

Do you love what your currently doing with your life right now? Like, really?

When you wake up in the morning are you excited for the new day. Are you proud of the actions you're taking on a daily basis. Are you trying to go somewhere or accomplish something?

These are some things to truly think about if it hasn't ran though your mind lately.

I believe life gets more interesting and fun when you have something to believe in and work towards.

When you look at people like Steve Jobs who spent his life creating things that would help make the world a better place through simple and clean computers and gadgets. Then you have people like Martin Luther King Jr. who had a dream of a better, less racist world. He believe if he stood for what he believed in he would make a difference and he sure did.

Find something to believe in my friend. I don't care what it is, find something. No matter what it is, find something that makes you move forward with your life.

They say the people who go after things in their lives have great lives.

Here are 3 steps that will help you believe.

1. Pay attention to your daily actions.

Watch what you're doing on a daily basis. Keep a mental note or even better. Pull out your cell phone or a note book and keep notes on the things your doing daily and reflect on them.

See if they're making you feel good before you go to bed and night. See if your feeling excited for the new day. If you're not, make some adjustments.

The key to this is to find something that makes you move. This will help you realize if your on the wrong path and will definitely help you start going in the direction of fulfillment.

2. Create goals.

Goals are a ever changing thing. So when you begin creating these goals of yours don't think to hard.

Create these goals based on everything you want and even the things you think you want. Goals help you stay on track and gives you direction to where you're trying to go.

There is no since of hoping on a ship with no directions and no compass to guide you. Goals are the compass for your life. Goals will help you stay on track. Even if your goals change because life happens, knowing where your going plays a huge part in doing what you believe in.

3. Find people who believe in what you believe in and talk to them.

This one is very helpful. Once you begin figuring out what you want to do, go meet people. There is a huge chance that whatever you believe in or want to do with your life some else believes in the same thing or currently shares the same love as you.

The internet has allowed us to do whatever we want to do. We can find anything we want and the people we want to be around. If you can find the strength within yourself to go for it, this could be a game changer.

I hope these 3 steps helps you out a little. If you can't find people willing to listen to you and hear out what you believe in contact me. Reach out to me and I'll hear you out.

Here is my email : travistriggs777@gmail.com . Now you really can't make up an excuse, you have a least one people here fro you. It's up to you to reach out.

If your fine but you know someone that needs people to talk to about belief and goals, give them my email and I'll hear them out and be here for them as well.

Never let anyone or anything make you think your thoughts and ideas aren't valuable. Believe in yourself by the actions you take and watch how much life will change.

Have a Great and Amazing day today.

P.s There are some jewels in this video below.

Cheers

Don't quit your day job yet...

Even though this video has, " I quit my job after watching this" isn't a great idea for most. I checked and there was no follow up to this video, saying I quit my job and now I'm successful. Think about what really happened.

Also, think about that person's situation. They could be living with their parents with no bills, which makes it really easy to quit a job.

I'm not undermining this video, it's great. It touches people who are striving for something and it touches the heart.

I mean when you think about your life's biggest regrets it's kinda scary. Thinking about your last words before you die is a frightful thought.

But at the end of the day, do you a dream or a goal you're striving towards?

Do you have something that makes you feel like quitting your current position.

Are you doing anything right now to show yourself you are serious about going after your dream?

Do you want to accomplish something that you really want?

Seriously think about what you're doing, after watching this video below. Don't let motivation lead you on your path to success, let desire. Let the thing you feel in your heart, your gut move you.

The words of any man are to help you stand up, but you have to do the work and get shit completed. Hard work doesn't always pay off, but hard work does allow you to feel better about life and the direction you're choosing to go after.

This video is really good, that's why I posted it. It is motivational and hopefully, this post helps you stand up to begin changing your life and allow you to never have to look back and regret.

Sorry for the vulgar language, just venting a little.

I've reached a point where money needs to start coming into my life. I've been working job after job here in San Diego and it's been super rough.

I'm damn near broke ass hell. I have my family to take care of and the shits just not going to plan. I feel like I'm really trying and it's not paying off. Sales have been so weak for me these past few months and I'm at the point where I don't even have enough money to pay my rent. Shit sucks.

I'm pissed but I'm not, mainly because I have family and friends whos here for me and I can easily get the cash if need be. It just sucks knowing I have to call and ask for it. This shit is fucking with my pride.

One thing I'm learning about having low funds right now is people who really matter in my life are here and around. They're being very supportive. Even just the simple conversion just to listen to me get out my frustration helps a lot. 

Going through hardship sucks so much. If you can't relate you're lucky. If you can relate, stay strong and ride that damn wave.

Don't let the bullshit of the world like money, fuck you over and make you believe life is something that it's not. 

Life should be fun and exciting. Here are 3 things that will help make you feel a little better about your situation.

1. People are in worse situations.

2. You have complete control over how you feel. Go look in a mirror and throw a big ass smile on your face. 

3. Nothing last forever, unless you want it to.

This was a little morning vent for me today. I'm just super stressed out and I had to get it out of me so I can move onto a great, successful and amazing Friday today.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

8.29.2017 update

I've been working and lowkey networking with a few people these past few days.

I've also been doing the normal. Reading about copy writing, watching videos about copy writing, practicing and so on.

These past few days have been very productive. You see, I've been connecting with my clients from my nine to five. I'm working up ways to help bring them more business and more value to our business relationship.

One of my clients recently opened a women's plus size clothing store. I'm extremely excited for her and she also lost her I think 24-year-old son in back in July of this year. So I know she's going through a lot of mental battles and it's pushing her.

She is one of those people I would love to see become successful.

So, my plan is to help her with her email marketing strategies, newsletters, product copy, short commercials and more.  

I keep telling her to document her journey from starting her clothing brand to opening first store. I'm also going to talk to her about getting more orders online.

The other business is a small car dealership. The guy is cool, he's still going through the process and he determined. He wants me to sell for him, but I told him I'd help with his marketing and sell with my typed word and occasionally at the physical car lot.

I'm going to help him create little commercials for each the cars he has available. I'm also going to take some clean pictures and do some online advertising for him. Like, craigslist, auto trader and so on.

I'm also going to try and get him on this idea I'm thinking about right now. His dealership is pretty close to the college campus. He should do a program for college students. Do a special promotion for each type of student and target those specific niches to market to. Like, market stories about each vehicle on the lot. Have each car identified with that specific type of student also become the huge fan of the college and the city.

I literally thought of this one the spot, like right now. It sounds good, to a certain degree. Talk about the features and benefits, and show through stories the reason why each specific vehicle can help make your life easier and better.

 hmmmm!↽

That was a quick idea for someone looking for ideas that working with car dealerships.

Back to what I'm doing right now......

Today, I finished up a little video for my lady with the clothing store. I didn't get much footage but it's something she'll be happy with.

I'm also doing some work for my boy and his music label. He has a few artist making good decisions and putting on shows. They're beginning to make a little noise.

He wants me to help him with boosting post. I've been quite successful in my past with helping boost post and discovering good target markets.

The average small business knows they need help with their marketing unless they are extremely successful, but those guys are marketing like crazy. I feel the new world we live in is not in their mental economy right now. I think they believe they can survive for a long time without it and I mean you can, but you can also have a better brand which will increase their income.

The small business thinks the world isn't as social as it is. They think the internet isn't that important. But the internet and being social in front of different people all the time gives you a chance at bat. I'm trying to help show them the importance so they can succeed.

I'm beginning to understand who I am and purpose.

It doesn't matter how rich or poor you are. If the right people get mixed into your life and change your perspective and make you a better person.

Great things can happen but you must be prepared with the proper practice in your past.

Now I'm just mummbling. Off to work I go. Have a great Tuesday.

Emptying my brain today

These past few days I've been diving so deep into copy writing.

If you're not sure what copy writing is. It's basically selling with words. Any advertisement or email or banner and so on with call to action to do something you are observing copy writing.

This is something I've been diving deep into to make into a career soon.

Once you decide to make something out of your life and you begin taking the steps to get there, you start noticing everything about that thing.

It's like if you wanted to buy a car. Let's say you wanted to buy a new BMW 3 series, 4 door, suped up twin turbo motor. Nice clean shiny wheels and so on.

After your decision has been made and you begin looking for the car. Going to car dealerships, start looking them up all over online.

Something happen.

You start noticing the car everywhere. You drive down the street you see a few, you go to the mall their everywhere. You go to the grocery stores, there all over the parking lot and so on.

Once you make that decision to get something or get into something, it begins popping out to you all the time.

That's what going on with me right now. I want to get into copy writing and I'm meeting all these new people who are into copy writing. My youtube channels are full of random copy writing videos.

I'm noticing every ad that trying to sale something and convert. It's wild.

Hopefully with the continuous mix of writing, reading, listening. Non-stop doing, this will lead me to get a few clients and eventually lead me to writing more and becoming a copy writer.

I really anxious right now. I'm following my goals and writing everyday.

The goal is to make this a career and eventually I'll start writing and publishing my own books.

I literally wrote this morning, just to get something out of my head. This is another one of those post where I literally sat down and just began writing.

I hope some of this made since. If not, sorry your just riding the wave of my thoughts.

Have a great day today.

So much Information Online..

Is it just me or is there way to much information online for everything.

I'm starting to believe that the world is becoming a place where if you really want something you can make it happen. It's becoming " The Land of No Excuses." 

Like, really.

Think about anything in the world. You can google it and find answers. Have you ever really thought about that?

Stop right now and think about.

Shits crazy right! Like anything, even answers to dumb ass questions. 

You can literally get information on anything you want in life. There was a time in life where if you didn't know someone or if you couldn't get access to the library you were screwed. 

The world we live in now, everyone can get access and has a chance. The power computers now sit in one of your pockets.  

You really do not have any room for excuses anymore. No one, especially if you live in America. You can't say you don't know something, you'd be lying. 

The only thing that can be said is, "I don't fully understand."

 Since there is so much information online. There are so many different perspectives you have to listen to and each person implants different information in your brain. 

The brain is starting to be looked at like a hard drive to a computer. It's like how much information can you attain and do something with.

The flood of information is great to a certain degree but it can a little excessive. It's like having 10 different teachers or more, on one subject and they all have different approaches that one subject.

You have to figure out who to listen to , are they creditable. Have they experienced success themselves or have they just learned about a subject and just trying a living off of you.

This is one of biggest issues I see with the flood of information available. But, it's better to have too much information, than not enough.

My advice is to find 1 or 2 people who sound a like. Make sure you feel comfortable with them and move forward.

Don't allow the flood of information to slow your learning process down because it will. Keep it to a limit and put time into learning whatever your trying to learn and you will succeed. Period. 

No more excuses why your not living up to your full potential. Just because your not swimming in money, shopping like crazy and taking a bunch of exotic trips around the world. 

Doesn't mean your not taking the right steps to get there. 

Stay focused, work hard and be patient.

Go after it...

Let's say your dream is to become a Body Builder. But your really skinny and never really worked out before. Don't have much money to pay for a gym membership and don't have transportation to get to that gym. Don't have much money to buy a bunch of protein shakes and food either,

All the obstacles are against you. Now, in many situations this would lead to a person to begin coming up with excuses, not become a body builder and can easily convince themselves why not.

This is how most dreams usually play out. You don't know anyone in the industry you want to get into. You don't have the money to pay for the things you really want to do. You feel like it's one thing after another. But, you still feel like it's the one thing that would change everything in your life.

This is where creativity comes into place.

If you have to go through a lot of obstacles to make a dream or ultimate goal come to life, then you must push your mind and body. Also known as where the work really begins.

This is when you must grab a book, start talking to people you've never talked to before. Start acting like the person you want to become, by making up things to do to help build up your skills.

Put yourself in situations where you feel like you are progressing towards your dream.

Back to the wanting to become a Body builder and you have not access to a gym, not money, no transportation.

Start working out at home. Go online, talk to people, find workout routines that help, go to the library and find physical books. Start looking for a job that can help fund your dreams.

Never let anything stop you from moving forward with your life.

The biggest issue is not having any idea what you want to do. Once you figure it out what you want. Figure out the actions necessary to move you in the direction you need to be moving towards.

Going after your dreams is a process that's attainable by anyone.

The title of this books says everything. There are always going to be things that get in your way towards an ultimate goal. Your thoughts are the gatekeepers that will allow anything to come into fruition. When you feel like your going after something and your not getting the results you want yet.

Allow your mind and to transform itself with the right thoughts.



Go check Break Throught Your BS and break your mind out of the limited belief and make your dreams a reality.

Your dreams can come true, it just takes hard work and dedication.

Finding my voice

I'm trying to find my writers voice right now. I recently have the opportunity to write for the this sports blog and I'm going to try and do my best. But after looking up the information I have to write about. My mind just goes fucking blank. 

My minds going blank cuz I don't like sports. I don't even know sports talk that well. Unless it's like tournament games, leading up to the championship game and it's all over social media. While everyone is talking about it. That way I really don't have any other choice but to know whats going on. 

But besides that, I'm fucking lost.lol

I know I'm going to figure it out. I've been researching like crazy, getting to know the fans and seeing whats most valuable to them.

It's just a little weird to me, I'm so use to writing about things I only know and care about. In this particular situation, they're leaving the information open with no real target, just very vague. I'm not saying thats bad, is just my first time and I think I'm just acting like a little bitch.lol

Writing out my thoughts and creating things for projects I'm into comes very natural for me. But coming up with ideas for something I'm not really into is kinda tuff. I see what David Ogilvy was saying in his book about working on things your into verse things you're not. 

He said how when you're not really into the project at hand, you tend to not have your best work. He also said to choose projects that are best for you, so you can always deliver your best work. Or at least that's how I took what he was saying. 

I'm really not into sports, but I know I gotta figure this shit out. 

On another note. 

It's been cool watching myself study all this copywriting stuff. I'm even writing a more than ever have. 

I even started reaching out to different copy writers online and I've been getting a little feed back here and there. This one dude wrote me back and advised me to take this copy writing training course out here in San Diego. It's called Portfolio Studio. 

I already reached out to them, but to hear a another person randomly bring it up makes me feel even more confident in the copy writers course. You know I'll keep you updated on how that works out. 

So far, I notice I type way more and I've been staying in my books, apps and videos. Just learning and practicing. 

I'm feeling great for the future and the rest of this year. I hope you are getting your shit together with me. It's hard out here if you don't have many people to talk to and motivate you to do shit. 

I'm down to be your friend and growth partner. Send me a message and lets chat. 

We need each other to encourage and help one another, even help open doors for each other if possible. 

This world has so many people because we are suppose to connect with each other and find our own crowd. If your looking for a crowd or people to hang out with to listen and encourage you like I said. I'm here.  

Make today great and tomorrow even greater. You're alive for a reason, keep searching for your purpose. When you find it and live it up.

Spotify Has Taken a Stand and Removed “Hate Bands” From Its Streaming Library

After being alerted to a number of “hate bands” appearing on Spotify, the steaming service has followed Apple‘s lead and removed the content. Announcing the decision, Spotify released a statement saying that, “illegal content or material that favors hatred or incites violence against race, religion, sexuality or the like is not tolerated by us.” The company also explained how the music had made it on to the service, putting it down to the “hundreds of thousands of record companies and aggregators all over the world” who contribute the music to the site and are responsible for it.
As well as explaining the decision to remove the hate content from its site, Spotify also used the statement to discuss the launch of Patriotic Passions, a playlist that “is a soundtrack to an America worth fighting for” and features music from Jimi Hendrix to Khalid.
It’s been a busy summer for Spotify, with the streaming service being forced to deny inventing artists for some of its playlists and being hit with two more copyright infringement lawsuits.
This is a reblog from Hypebeat.com. I'm a Spotify junkie and I had to post this. Very interesting.
