ExcusesI think about this topic quite often. Honestly, I used to be the person that will shoot out some crazy excuse in a heartbeat, just to avoid saying no. It wasn't until I was watching this millionaire speak on tv that I began to look at excuses differently. The quote that she said has never left my mind and to this day I try to make sure I'm not doing this. What she said was "Excuses are just well planned lies." Man, I don't know about y'all but hearing that changed something in my heart. How many times has someone...

Good Morning        Over the years I've learned that some people are more excited about a lie over the truth.  Or they are quick to positively respond to a lie over the truth.  I was one of those people.  I can remember hearing about things that were just to good to be true.  For example, I could be offered the best deal on the planet by the closets people to me, and they could tell me all of the ins and outs about the deal (being 100% honest) and I wouldn't believe it.  I would turn the deal...

Good Morning Growing up, I was always taught to go to school, get a good education so i could get a good job. This is/was not bad information but there was an option left out of this.

When we begin to look at education as a way to learn to own/start our own businesses, we can begin...

If I can be honest, this weekend has been rough emotionally. What unfolded in Virginia should never have happened. They say it shouldn't happen because it's 2017, it shouldn't have happened in 1937 either. The evil that unfolded this weekend has and never had a place in American history. To see that physical representation of so many people who so violently hate me and people that look like me does something to a person's emotional state, especially when it actually wasn't that long ago where this behavior was legalized. It's easy to declare "Remember 9/11 and Never Forget The Holocaust...

Good Morning,  I used to be a victim of not know my limits.  I've spent years building relationships with people. I've always been the guy that wants to get along with everyone. Honestly, building relationships are easy. It's keeping them that's hard. There are so many personalities out there it's hard to please them all. I'm the guy that goes through 100+ contacts in his phone and sends text messages to people just to check on them. I don't usually expect them to do the same because they are not me. But relationships are tough to keep. They also have...
