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!

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.

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 "

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.

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.

Travis

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.

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. 

Something New

So, I've deciding to quit reading so much material and start doing more.

Today, I reached that boiling point of fuck it and start put myself out to the world.

Have you ever reached a point in your life where you need to quit learning so much and just start doing?

Well, that's what I'm on now.  So far, I've sent 6 emails to different companies looking for blog help.

I figure I can start will doing work for free to start gaining some experience and eventually turn that free work, into paying work.

I don't know what to hell I'm going to do, I don't know what the projects are going to look like. But, I've been reading a bunch, watching a bunch of youtube videos, downloaded a bunch of apps, started reading a new book.

I'm currently reading "Ogilvy on Advertising". I read he's like one of the Gods of copy writing and advertising, so it only makes sense for me to start with his book.




It;s definitely worth the read. Right now int he book, he's talking about the importance of research and knowing the audience you are writing for. He also talks about the importance of continously learning your craft and being the best in your field.

But let's see how things go. I'm starting to put myself out to the world.

I'm ready to do my best and work my hardest to deliver great copy and possibly make someone some sales. I'm ready!

The start of my writing career is officially beginning.

I hope all of you are going after your dreams and goals. Hopefully one day, we can share the experience of wanting to make something happen and really live up to it and beyond.

Start your journey today if you've been lagging it. If you've been needing a little push. I just pushed ya, let's go.

The moment you start to act on who you really are things start to to change very quickly. - Gary V 

When things start feeling right.

I woke up today and got a good walk in. Last night I began reading Gary Halberts Letter and the book begins by him speaking about the being fit and taking care of your health.

Soo of course after reading that last night I woke up and went for a 2 mile walk. I sweated a little bit and brought Eli, my dog. It morning exercise is really great. I feel wide awake right now and ready to attack my day.

The reason why I started reading Gary Halberts Letters Book is because I'm considering getting into copy writing. I really believe this is a career that would be greta for me. I love writing and this career is exactly what I need to do.

I've heard of copy writing before but never dug deep into it. These past few days this is the only thing I've been doing. I've just been listening to people say how difficult it is but very rewarding at the same time.

Now, if you'v been reading my blog for the past few days, you know how serious I have been about finding a job that can allow me to be free and do things. This job is definitely that.

When I think about my life and what I have always done to move forward and grow. I always find myself doing advertising for myself. Without knowing I was creating copy for the past 10 years of my life.

I think this may be it. I'm going to keep pushing towards this and make this happen. It makes the most since and it's something I am proud of. I've always been the guy who like creating ads for something. It's just fun. Being able to create something that gets people to react and buy what they want is always fun.

Spending money is fun. Getting what we want is fun. This career will allow me to have fun and help people have fun by spending their hardworking money on things they want like myself.

I'm going to step up to the plate on this one.

I'm really fucking excited because I think I've finally discovered something that I like to do and it not only pays well. It will allow me to travel and work from my laptop. This is all I really want to do with my life.

I need to travel and experience things. By this Friday I will have a least started working on my website and I'm going to get to writing way more then ever.

Anytime something comes to my mind. It's going to get written down.

This shits really cool. I'm kinda nervous but I'm really not. I really like to sale and I really like to write. These two things are what is required to be a successful copy writer and I feel like that's me.

We will see what happens my friends. Thanks for checking in and I will keep you posted.

If anyone reading this is a copy writer. I would love for you to reach out to me. I'm open to any new copy writer suggestions???

Have a great Tuesday everybody.

12.19.2016 update

These past few months have been the most uplifting months of this year. I'm starting to understand who I am as a person and what I really want to do with my life. I'm piecing together the things that are necessary for me to become a better person and a better man. I feel a drive that I really haven't felt since I started my clothing brand and opened my store, years ago. That experience was so fucking amazing, I feel blessed to have experienced the things I have, now it's time for a new chapter.

I needed to get that out of my head and on this screen. This blog is not popular,  but it's more of a personal blog for myself to be able to go back and reflect on my life. I feel a since of freedom writing out my thoughts. This blogs allows me to not give a fuck and let myself out. My mind is so stretched out with information with all the things I've experienced in my life. The only thing missing on this blog is more of me. I could do so more writing and so much more posting but I find myslef over thinking myself out of it. Yesterday for instance. I was going to put together a list blog things to blog about for this week. So, when I sat down in front of my computers and starting over thinking all of the things that had to be done and I did nothing.

These thoughts that run through my mind keeps me so strong. It makes me fear things because I feel like I'm am so stretched. But in reality I'm not that stretched at all.

I am into motorcycles, off road shit. One of my good friends Jeremy, who recently lost his father, has a Rzr 4 1000. That shits super fast and fun ass hell. He is also the manager of a motorcycle/ off road shop, where I worked for 5 years. Working at Mountain Motorsports made me love all that crazy shit, now I'm a motohead. I also had my clothing store and clothing brand. The brand was very heavy into street wear culture. The brand life had the biggest effect on me as a person and now when I look at fashion and the trends, I understand how controllable it'll always be. I also worked at Ritz Camera shop for some years, so I'm heavy into photography and videos creation.

While going through my transition after I quit doing my clothing brand stuff, I start trying out a bunch of different things. I tried starting a video company and with boy Sunny and it didn't work out. Then I tried to start a vintage clothing store in my shop and that didn't work out either. I also tried starting a coffee shop in my shop as well. While in the mist of getting the coffee shop going, my wife had this idea of us moving to San Diego, as I call in sales she began dropping seeds.

At first I was like nawww, it sounds cool but naww. My job at the Mountain Motorsports was the shit. I worked with my homiees, we smoked, I knew everything, the rim sizes, the speeds, the clutches, the exhaust, the best first bike for the new riders, the best gloves, the fastest funniest bikes, the common over heating problems with rzr's, everything. I made really good money, actually my old co-worker Bobby in sales is making over $100K this year. [good shit bro].

At the same time I would go to a mindset meeting with my guys Pro and Rasheed every tuesday night about our goals and visions of the future. One major thing I learned from that mindset gathering was how I want to help the world and help give people opportunities.

To fast forward back to now, I worked at a company called 220 Marketing Group, we sold websites to mortgage lenders. We would talk about seo, ppc, and different ways to keep your old clients close and new clients closer. It taught me the bases of digital marketing. After working there, I didn't like how management was so I quit there and start working as a Brand Specialist at Promoventures. This job is great. I sell promotional items, tee shirts, embroidery, everything with a logo. It's fucking dope.

Through all the experiences , I've learned to love myself more. I've learned how much I enjoy learning and how much I want to act on thoughts way more. One thing I will focus on from now on and into the forever is how to keep myself busy and waste less time. I find myself wasting time and not doing anything constructive. This is one thing I am trying to commit myself to do more of.

I have dreams of inspiring the world and teaching people that we all deserve a shot. I want to help people get that shot and and people step up to plate.

It's one thing to have cheerleaders and customers. It's another thing to help bring customers to you, your business and ultimately change your lifestyle. There is nothing like having help from people who genuinely want to help you and help you succeed.

My legacy is my mission in life. What I leave behind is what I care about most, not what I have now. Father life has taught me a very important life idea, always try harder and be as best as you can.

When life throws you fruits, eat em.

I will end it on this note, but I'll keep these going. It feels good to let me mind go and just write.

Good Day Tuesday.

Travis

9.2.16 Update

My brain moves so fast at times, it kind of annoys me. I always have ideas running through my mind and I am always changing my decisions. My goal to help this problem is to write my ideas out more. Every new idea now, goes on paper and sits there for a while. I use to have so many different ideas at time, I felt like I was having an anxiety attack and I'm done with it. 

Lately it's been working and I've been feeling more relaxed and excited for my day when I wake up in the morning. 

I'll keep you updated on my progress and see what results I get from writing my ideas down verse thinking hard.

8.31.2016 Update

Today I start shooting my youtube channel videos for work. Let's see how this goes. I'm not going to say to much yet on what I am about to do. To be honest I have no fucking clue what I'm really going to do.lol I drew out a little script  and walk though but that doesn't make much since as of yet. I'll get it all together and I'll have it posted up on here soon.

09.29.2016 Update

These past few days have been kinda weird. I have been studying so much and trying to plan, control and organize my next moves in getting my job going. My current position is at my 9-5 is a Brand Specialist. My job consist of keeping tight knitted relationships with clients and helping them in the process of marketing themselves, their businesses, their events and etc. It's a very fulfilling job, every individual who has a brand or a product needs our services. Yes, you can go around me and work with someone else, another company or even get things yourself but you're most likely going to go through someone to get what you need. That's what me and everyone in my industry is here for, to serve.

My blog has really become a reflection of my life. I am currently working on the money growing part now as well. I really want to be able to provide for my family the way I see other father's who I respect provide for their families. I'm guess I can say I am trying to be like them. A responsible man, the rock of the family, the provider, thee man. Most of the fathers I look up to, have put themselves in financial places of stability to provide a great life for their families and that takes a lot of hard work and money.

Money is not the all of life but it's very important to have, especially being american. I find it strange when people talk about money like it's not that serious to have or it's not that important. Those are the same people who stress out a lot or always need something from someone when the times get tuff. Money gives us choices, freedom, experience, things we can only dream of having. Life is ruff with out it, but there is nothing wrong with going to through this faze of life and I understand how it empowers the individual. But when you're going through it and you need money and you need help, it's no fun. NOT AT ALL. You gotta ask for a ride, you have to budget, you have to think when your in line to get food. You have to think about how long clothes last and try not to damage your stuff because you know you cannot replace if you mess it up. There is a lot of thought that goes into not having much money. 

There is also this beauty that is aroused when you don't have it. You learn to appreciate small things way more. You learn to humble yourself and learn how to ask for help. You learn to care in a different way because you know you don't have the finances to to return a financial favor and you're truly thankful. You learn to not care about expensive things and unfortunately know that it's not your life yet. 

This is exactly when the mindset turns on and you have to learn the right conversation to have in your mind to keep you moving forward. I personally fight myself sometimes because I am not where I want to be yet. But I Believe I will. I take actions by reading, listening, writing, having great conversations with people, trying out different ways to market what I am selling and giving as much positive advice as I can to people. As a human being, I feel like we as people need to have a more positive attitude and positive outlook. I am nothing but a guy who believes in  making a difference by being positive and optimistic. We all have a choices in life and I believe we all need to choose the positive. 

You may not be rich, but I'm not rich. You may not have much to give, much to share. But you have you. You're energy, your attitude and that alone can help so many people just by being who you are and keeping the faith that it's going to turn out great. That's just what I feel. I think smiling a lot, being thankful to wake up in the fucking morning and breathing is worthy of a great day. If you can not think of anything positive about a day, go watch someone get their head cut off and see how you feel. I bet you'll feel great knowing that's not you.

Let 's start this week off with a bang. Go day Monday everyone.
Let's make something positive happen with week. 

08.14.2016 Update...

I hope you all had a great and powerful week. My week was pretty powerful, I've been working on my personal goals and staying as consistent. If you notice on my blog on the right hand side, I've posted more this year then I ever have since i've been blogging. I'm proud of my consistency and it's feel good try try and give value to the world the best way I can.

So for the update, this week I started my Mr. Compressed Tee instagram. I don't know if I talked about it previously, but it's been a project I have been wanting to do since I started working at my current job and I finally got it going. If your reading this, I would appreciate a follow @MrCompressedtee, I follow back. If your really down, leave a message and tell me you were from my blog. That would really blow my mind.

My goal for this Mr Compressed Tee instagram is to first see myself stay consistent. Second is to do a proof study and see if I can build a niche instgram and see if I get results from being consistent. This is more of a case study for myself just to see if there is an outcome. If there is or isn't thats fine. My ultimate goal is to find ways to stay busy and creative. This seems like a great avenue for keeping my mind going and push me to try different creative things to do with it. Another goal I have for it as well is to be able to display how I can run a instgram if it does turn into something. If I begin getting lots of orders or getting lots of traffic this  instagram, I plan to use it as a stable to start building a client list for work. After listening to Gary Vaynerchuk, it's very important to put in the work first, before I start asking people for there money. Jab, Jab, Jab, Punch. The marathon mindset vs the race mindset.

So far I have had two inquiries and I've sent them samples of the compressed tee's. I want to build this instagram naturally. No paid followers, no paid likes but all natural. I'm also thinking to start another channel and pay for followers and likes to see if I get more results from that. I feel like I my get more traffic faster but I need to find out for myself first to make any actual decisions. I will get back to you once I decide what niche I want to build it around.

I will continously keep you guys updated on the results I'm getting from it. Oh as you can see, I started a youtube channel for it as well. I going to start cleaning everything up and make it all strategical and more appealing. 

Add me, subscribe or what ever. Thanks

Lately I have been on a path to trying to figure out how and what I can do to change the world. I listen to so much great information on a daily bases and i still find myself at times not giving more value to the world than I am capable of. I feel like I give but I can give more, I feel like I read but I can read more, I feel like I listen but I can listen more. I am on a mission to change my life and try new things.

One of the things I have began is a new Instagram called " Mr. Compressed Tee ". I started this to start selling my compressed tee shirts online. I've already seen small results from it which still amazes me. I posted two post and I already had someone hit me up  ask if I could make them a compressed tee. It may not mean he is going to buy anything but it feel great to know people are paying attention out in the world. My goal for Mr. Compressed Tee is to be known as the compressed tee shirt guy online. I want to show ways on how compressed tee shirts are really cool for a promotional item. The fact that we can change the shirt into any design we desire is really cool because it allows me not to be limited. It also allows me to be involved in every world because it's for everyone.

I think my calling in life is to help people become rich. I enjoy selling things that have actual value to people, I am understanding the importance of being consistent everyday which is a major key. I have been in sales since I was 15 years old selling The Daily Bulletin door to door. I sold cars at Inland Valley Pontiac Buick Gmc, Crown Toyota. I've sold Sleep Number Beds. I have a lot of knowledge with creating videos, taking pictures. I use to work for Ritz Camera years ago before they closed down all the stores so my experience in looking at a picture and being very judgmental is there. When I use to run my clothing line called DOnUt Do you not them and we opened a store. I use to create videos like crazy for marketing, that taught be how to build up a video and taught me how easy it is. With videography and photography under my belt I understand angles and lines pretty good. These abilities will allow me to help a person who has no experience or since of what a quality picture or video looks like. I also am a huge brain stormer. I like to sit or pace around and come up with ideas. I feel like I can come up with new and different ideas for every single business and I enjoy it. From all the business meetings I've attended and watched allows me to really get in the zone and I have this drive to create to many ideas. I find myself at times giving to many ideas. I love fashion, I also know how to sew and  that's taught me to understand how to construct clothing. From running a mid successful clothing brand and taking sewing classes for a few months. I feel really confident to say what looks good and I believe my opinion matters.

I have many more talents, but I believe one of my best talents is inspiring people. In person I can make a people feel so excited and ready to go. I enjoy talking but one things I've learned and do most is Listen. I've been practicing listening a lot lately and I feel like I have been seeing results. I have people who don't want to leave me alone because all they want to do is talk to me and tell me there visions of what they want to do and what they are trying to do. I am one of those type of people as well, I enjoy talking about getting better, growing being the best I can be and my visions of life and my goals. My escape is blogging or listening to people who I consider more successful than I am and use them to question what I'm doing. My daily goal everyday is to learn or think about something I can make better.

I will continue moving towards my goals and creating content. My focus to to keep moving in the content direction so I can get better by practicing better so I can deliver better context. This is a little break down of me and getting to know who I am. I will begin doing video's of myself soon and work on video content. My goals are rising and my feelings of success are getting better and I feel like it's getting closer to closer because I am working hard by waking up every morning and give value to the world, I am working towards my goals and I am listening to the right people to help me be the best I can be.
                                                                                                                                               

7.29.2016 Update

So I move into my new place today in San Diego, Serra Mesa to be exact. The day is finally here, i had to go through working at a job with no pay for 1 and a half, another job waking up at 5:30 to getting there at 6:30. Now I have finally reached the job I going to be for as long as the waves keep moving. I'm really diggin this new job. I am a brand specialist and I help people build there brands by helping them produce products that actually help make them money. I hear a lot of people talking about being a Branding person but they do not have the products needed to give there clients what they need, when the ball starts to roll. Let's say I wanted someone to brand for me, I would need the following to really see results. I would need a website, I would need hats, shirts, free stuff to give away. I would need a sick website that brought me business and focused on my client retention, seo, my presentation of me, I would need a marketing plan that show actual results. I would need a team that would be very, very consistent that would allow me to be myself and figure out how to  understand me and what I was all about. I would need someone or a company who would genuinely care about me and what I am trying to do and dig deep to figuring out what my goals are and what my Why to life is. I would need to see how my products make a difference and honestly make me feel like I am the most important client ever and my brand more then I understand myself. 

Branding is a word used so much now and all its really is just great marketing. If you are reaching out to spread a message or an idea for people to get to know who your are and what you are about or what you do it's marketing. At the end of the day, most people who are trying to brand/market them selves are doing it to make money. The word Brand I guess from what I've read from other websites, articles and books is a much more serious word because it is more intentional for the person being branded but its still marketing just with more fluff. 

Now with my new job, since I am titled a Brand Specialist I am trying to figure out how to really deliver real value to my clients. One of the things I am personally working on is my organization. I have been working here for about a month now and with the way we get clients and how we have to go and find them for new business or find ways to stay in front of our previous clients is a major key. Like yesterday I had about 5 clients I am working with right now. One works for this billion dollar company and I am getting her shirts made. It is a simple job, a suggested these nice soft american apparel like shirt that she loves as there shirt of choice. Then for the design we are using there logo. The shirts are for an event they are having on August 29th. One of the things I plan on doing to really show I care is once the shirts are sent off, let her know. The when the delivery date show they have been delivered follow up again and make sure the delivery process was okay and ask her opinion on the shirts. After that give her a call a could days after the event to see how the event went and ask if she enjoyed herself and see how if anyone she passed them out to had anything to say about the shirts. Then I'll wait a few more days just to follow up again and thank her for her business and send her a hand written thank card. Since I am new to the company and my goal is to be the most hopeful nicest fuckin person my client has ever dealt with. 

One thing I have noticed working at my job is how lazy most people are. A couple of my co-workers just make a order with someone and move on to the next. I don't think that is good business. I think as a person who is in business and a person trying to establish yourself as a figure you need to treat all people like they will help make you a million dollars. Finding great customer service really is hard to find because people just don't care, to care that much. I have found a way to like what I do, thats why why I quit the two other jobs I had. I didn't like it so I left, yes I went through some hard fuckin times but thats the beauty of family and friends. They had my back, so even though I wasn't making any money, they diid not allow me to focus on that. And I didn't want to focus on that, I am not going to to say I never had negative things going through my mind occasionally. But I found the best way to rid of negative emotions is to find someone you trust and let it out. Let out ALL your emotions and feelings so you can hear yourself. I think our words are GOD and once you hear yourself say how frustrated and angry you are, let it out and move the fuck on and do something about it. Life is not going to be fucking easy if you want to be successful. But if you never see, feel or hear anything to make you go through the negative time. It's hard to see growth and where you come from. I will continue this conversation another day, I gotta go to work now. I find it best for me to write early in the morning then at night. Things flow a whole lot better for me. 

I am not going to make the time to go back and re read this. Cuz I gotta go and I am up to my 1000 word a day challenge to myself. This is something that makes me feel proud of. It's like a early morning accomplishment. Thanks if you read this whole thing through. My goal it to tell my story and let the world know who I am and what I am about and what I care about. Bless 

7.28.2016 Update..

So I've recently made a commitment to myself to blog more often. I want to be a good writer one day and tell amazing stories to my son about how his dad wanted something so bad and kept practicing and practicing for years and finally started to create masterpieces of a conglomerate of words. I am not the average writer, at least that's what I think. No one in my family writes, non of my friends write, no one in my circle of moving forward with my life does either. This is purely a personal thing for the reasons of inspiration and motivation. If you've been following my blog, you will see that i only vibe out to positive things. I only want positive things in my life and I am continuously battling with myself to keep that mindset. So many negative thoughts go through my mind and causes me to lose focus and get off track. I think this is the reason why I smoke weed. When I'm high for some reason I allow myself to let go and flow with my creative mind. This very moment I am completely sober for some strange reason. Well not really a strange reason, I'm low on funds and I don't have a medical card to go pick up or receive an express delivery form the mobile weed man. That's definitely something I will have to attain this year. My medical license, as Dj Khalid would say, it's a major key.

I would consider myself a smoker. Like a real life, don't need anyone around, all by myself with a bunch of books, my computer, my phone and a pen and paper. It's funny, I currently living with my girls sister and her husband in there newborns sons room. This is one of the most interesting times of my life and I am truly thankful for this whole experience. Let me let you in a little bit.

April 1, 2016 - I quit working for one of the funniest, carefree, jobs ever. I sold motorcycles at a Mountain Motorsports in Ontario, Ca. That experience changed my life or at least the direction of my life. I learned how to ride motorcycles, I learned how to work on motorcycles, I learned that most people in this world just genuinely want to be happy, I learned that getting what you want in life could ultimately kill you and be the death of you.,  Before I got that job I was running my own clothing store with my so called best friends who back stabbed me the second they saw me vulnerable. They took my baby, my brand under neath my nose and I just let it go. Once thing I've learned about certain people and money is that certain people will always have their own agenda. I say certain because that's not how life is, so I'm not going to say "well since they were like that, everybody's like that" because that's not true. I just happened to deal with certain people who were like that and I'm blessed I did because I know how to identify those people a whole a lot easier now.

This is one of those things I am going to work on, I start on one track while writing one thing and easily jump to another track, from 0 to 100 real quick with some new idea that runs through my head. This post has now become a two day thing for me now. When I start writing and trying to get in the zone shit always come the fuck up, and shit like this happens. I did wake up this morning and read a article on reading from a guy named Jon Westenberg on How writing 1000 words a day changed his life. It's funny how when I started this long ass post from yesterday I was thinking how in the fuck am I really going to get better at writing. Then the second I get up in the morning, grab my iphone, turn off my loud ass alarm and after laying there thinking and looking at my roof pondering if I should go exercise or go read and listen to Gary Vaynerchuks book "AskGaryVee" because it's finally on Youtube. And I thought fuck it, I got a few red dot updates on my facebook lets see whats going on. Basically shit. Well besides my cousin inviting me to her sons birthday party in Los Angeles which sucks because I'm moving to San Diego this weekend, soo that not going to happen. I get off that shit and then I think, hmmm I need to read something because that what I usually do in the morning, so I open up the Medium app and think,  ohh shit I should post my first Medium today. So instead of me actually fucking doing it, my ass types in, my first post and the article "How writing 1000 words a Days Changed My Life". I'm happy I read this article because it inspired me to get my ass back on this post and keep pushing through till I get to my 1000 words.

In the article Jon talks about his own journey about his 1000 words a writing and how he was able to continuously push through. He talks about how some of his best work was done when he did not feel like it. That's so interesting to me because it's so much that has to go through your mind to keep your self going, staying creative, coming up with ideas, writer block fuck. Jon says the key to writing a 1000 words a day is to just do it. Do not care about what you write about, just write and let the words flow through your fingers. No matter if you wake up drunk, tired ass shit, don't feel like just fucking push through. That's funny because thats exactly how i am feeling right now at this very moment. Just keep on fucking pushing until I get to my 1000 words. Jon speaks on how his work was like a 50/50 in terms of quality of reading. Some of his work was great some of his work was garbage. You just can't allow yourself not to write because you feel like it is garbage. The garbage is whats going to lead you to gold. You just have to be consistent and not give a fuck about how you feel and let your mind go and let those fingers move.

And there it is, I fucking did. I FUCKING DID it. Yea, I had some assistance, with half this shit already being written because I started on it yesterday.  But it does not matter, I'm going to make a goal to at least post a 1000 words every 2 days. I will try and push myself to do a 1000 words a day but my personal goal will be at least every 2 days is fine with me to start. I hope you enjoyed my little personal update today.

Lets's see how consistent I will be with my self and this blog.

Good Day Thursday, Let's Gooooooo..

And I am not going to reread this shit, because I haver to go to work, so if i have some horrible grammar. I don't fucking care. Peace
