It's been a while..

To the few people who have been hanging on and waiting for me to post. I'm back again.

I go on my blog escapades but I always find myself sinking right back. I've been running this blog for years and it's feels so good to have this space of mine.

I have so many memories of my life on here. I have so many things I've tried to teach on here.lol One thing I've noticed on here is that I always continue to try. Trying makes my life feel so much better and complete.

It's probably bad to that I try so much stuff. But I don't give a damn.

I've learned how to care for people more, how to trust people more and how to love better than I ever have in my life. Trying has led me to personal success. I have many failures and trying things that didn't work in my favor. But to me, it's always been worth the risk.

It does suck, when it sucks though.  Like really,sucks. $2.16 in the bank account with a son a d a wife at home is never a good feeling. Being in that situation has taught me to, always stay positive and keep the best attitude possible.

I'm so determined to succeed in this life of mine. I don't care about going through the shit. The shit is apart of life. I'm really starting to really realize that. Like really, think about the bullshit we go through, time to time. We think to ourselves, Fuucckkk. And after it's all said and done. Nothing really happens but the lessons we learn.

I've learned from trying to read many different books to re adjust the situation by asking myself questions...

Like:

What did I learn from that experience?

What really the most  important thing in my life?

What if I just died right now, is this that serious?

What do I have right now that I'm happy about?

Who do I care about enough to work harder for.

Those few questions have kept me strong and moving the most positive direction of my life. Life is great right now.

I'm definitely going to keep this thing going. I always miss blogging.

I'm growing and I have a long road ahead of me to reach the point, I see in my mind of me. I'm will always fight the good fight and I hope you all, are fighting with me.

The Goal Chasing begins.

I decided to put things into action and began a Content Marketing course through HubSpot. My goal in getting an internship as a digital marketer is in motion. I started this course because they offer a certificate in Content Marketing when completed.

 Blasting through the course with ease was the plan, but boy was I wrong. I have to change my gears and my approach to this class. Shits kinda tuff. I began watching videos in the course blind and thinking I was on the correct path. I didn't notice the damn study guide on the side of the screen.

That would've sucked If I didn't see that damn guide.smh lol

My action plan is to take two courses a day. When I complete course, I'll run through it two times, get a firm understand of the text and take the test.

The goal is to pass the test, receive my certificate and begin reaching to marketing companies. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it. Let's see how it all works. My goal is to have an internship started or in the workings by January 1, 2017.

Plans for the rest of 2016...

My morning began with a nice warm cup of tea, my iphone in hand and the Medium articles displayed. I read this article about letting yours self go on a blog and let write out personal goals. The article says It makes you take more responsibility for you actions and hold you more accountable to yourself and your goals. I've also read articles and books saying the complete opposite and to keep your personal goals to yourself. Me being the personal I am and going against the grain, I actually like the fact of putting out my ideas and dreams out to the world. I look at it like, If I died before I could accomplish these goals, my son, grand kids, great grand kids can say I had my head in the right place. Also, when I accomplish the goals I write out and actually make them happen, I can look at myself as a prophet of my own destiny and I kinda like that idea.

So lets dive.

I want to end this year as a Content/Digital marketer intern. I've posted many blogs and I create many videos/photos to help promote myself and many people inside and outside my circle. I've had days just sitting and thinking of what I want to do with my life and reflect on what I would do If I could do anything and making money was not an option. After days upon days of thinking, I realized how much I enjoy helping people mentally, physically, emotionally and financially. I have this sense of joy being able to help people live out their dreams and making their ideas come to life. I've read many articles on how not everyone thinks that way. Most people want million of millions of dollars, just to have it. I personally want a different life from that. I want to experience more joy in helping others by mental gains and leave a legacy. 

The thing that changed my life was starting a clothing line, having a store, and building it. That experience lifted my confidence and now I only make decisions based off how I feel and if it's the right thing to do. A lot of people don't realize that money is not the answer. Being a black american, I have been brought up thinking I need to become something great and make a lot of money to feel great about myself and feel successful. Now money is very important, but thats what you chase. It's the goals you chase. The chasing in the goals create the person you have always wanted to be and the feeling of being the person you thought you were and could be feels so good, but a lot of people do not see it that way.

That's were I find myself standing, because I personally do not believe money will make me feel great. Money is great to have and I would love to have a larger bank account, no denying that. But if my life ended and I didn't reach that money part of my life, I refuse to believe life could have been better. Life is fucking great and I want every person especially living in america to feel like me. Love life, have fun, enjoy the small things, cherish our friends and family. That's what life's about and I believe chasing your dreams and goals help me have this feeling.

That's where my goal to become a Digital/Content marketer comes from. I feel like I will be able to help many accomplish their goals, while helping me accomplish mine as well. I've studied many job descriptions and the digital/content marketer works best. My ultimate goal would be, to run my own office and have people smarter then me, more talented, happier, funnier, high drive'd people all under one house. The sole purpose would to help change the world by helping people live their dreams by helping them spread their message. Help them find their message and construct their message to the masses and allow them to succeed. Even if we do not make people super millionaires that would be up to them and what their personal goals. We would be the group of individuals going to the hood, talking to the kids, educating them on the now and how to grow. Show them the power of them and the power of marketing.

It's amazing how many people to this day, do not believe in the power of the internet and marketing. This shit has changed my life and  the fucking world. I'm jump in this craziness to leave my mark and create a legacy as best as I can.

So thats my plan for the rest of 2016.

My current job puts in me alignment with that goal. I am currently a brand specialist for a print and promotional product shop. I've attached my video below, so you can check out what I do at my job. I am going to get on top of my blogs and videos now that I have my computer back up and running. 

If you need help with any branding or enjoy having idea conversations and DO things. Hit me up. If you can Help me out on this journey, to help the world through branding reach out to me. I have so much to learn, but If you've followed my blog for the years, you'll understand helping and branding is my WHY.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving
