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.

I finally started my job working in the internet department at Honda of Mission Valley.

I have a bunch of ideas and plans on how I'm going to separate myself from the other salesman at the dealership.

I don't want to say much on here, but rather DO SHIT.

When I begin doing shit and begin measuring my results. I will start talking about what I'm doing exactly and how I plan to execute on those goals.

I really wrote this because it's been about 3 or 4 days since I've posted and I feel like I should keep you updated.

I have HUGE goals for my life and I want to provide value to the world the best that " I " can.

Check out this new video below from Evan Carmichael. Here is a little motivation for your day bruh bruh. Go after the things you love!!

" GET AFTER IT "

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.

Update | I'm starting a new job.

Welp, it happened.

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.

p.s. If this video has helped you in any way, let's talk about. Email me at travistriggs777@gmail.com.

What are you doing?

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.
