Nico & Vinz - Am I Wrong [Official Music Video]

Very inspirational song and video by duo, "Nico & Vinz."





Here are the lyrics as well:


Oooooh
Oooooh
Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?

I ain't tryna do what everybody else doing
Just cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

So am I wrong
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?

But that's just how I feel (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)
That's just how I feel (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)

Am I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction: I'm a be on top of the world

Walk to walk and don't look back, always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel
Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel

Am I wrong (am I wrong)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah oh)
Now am I wrong (am I wrong)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)

But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
[2x]

Am I wrong
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?

But that's just how I feel, (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)
That's just how I feel (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

So am I wrong (am I wrong)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah oh)
Now am I wrong (am I wrong)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)

But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

What If Instead of a Side Chick, You Got a Side Job?





Why the hell would you pick up a side job instead of a side chick??



Sooo a lot of brothers are totally irresponsible in terms of having what is known as side chicks. A side chick is not something new, modern, or endemic to certain races, economic classes, societies or nations. Mistresses, extra-marital affairs, and sanchas/sanchos have existed since man fell from God-hood to manhood. 

But this post isn't really about side chicks, it's really about side jobs and work ethic. I propose that young men should increase their industriousness and work ethic. 


Industrious |inˈdəstrēəs|
adjective

diligent and hard-working.

There is an old Moorish proverb that states, "Teach him diligence, and his wealth shall increase." The average Joe that is employed works 40 hours a week from the hours of 9-6, 8-5, 7-4, 11-7 etc and gets paid for just that. 

In order for young alchemists and young millennials to really make any headway, to make any measurable progress, they must double their work efforts. What does this mean? If you are working one full time job, and making a certain salary and you're just getting by, or making an okay wage but you aren't really taking home much or saving much after Uncle Sam gets his share in the form of taxes and you pay bills, you need to increase your input in order to increase your output.  


In all honesty, if you are a go-getter, hustler, creator, or aggressively enterprising person, etc. you should be working about 70-100 hours a week. What the f*%@??!! Yes I said, 70 to 100 hours a week. You don't believe me? Listen to billionaire and serial entrepreneur explain it, starting at 1:19 on this video...









Then listen to him again here starting at 4:52...









"There's a science to this lifestyle..."
We live in an age where billionaires give out advice, for free, to millions of people. It would do you well to take heed. 

I propose if you're the average working Joe, you should be working a  full time job, and have one, two, or three legal side hustles or side jobs going on that produce income. If you are a professional, it is even better because you can pick up another job in your field and advance your career. 

You could work as a security guard at night, do consulting work in your field, Uber, Insta-cart, wait tables, or pick up any other full time or part time job

Why the hell would you pick up a side job instead of a side chick?? Well there are several reasons...


  1. Expand your network: If you are a working professional and working in your profession double time, you meet more people in your field and you advance yourself in your career. As a lawyer you can work for a firm, and consult out your legal services/expertise to other private clients on the side, all the while meeting connects that may advance you later or that you may partner with later. If you just work a regular wage-job, you still can increase your network by being social and expanding your contacts, being sure to deal with people on a business and professional level. 
  2. Pay off past due bills: There is a certain psychological relief that comes with knowing you don't have bill collectors looking for you, debts piling up, or money owed. That second full time job, side hustle, consulting gig, or part-time job can pay that car-note, student-loan, credit card bill, etc.
  3. Develop a real savings or investment fund: With the extra income you will be getting from a second full time job, or from several side hustles/part time jobs you can actually afford to start developing a real savings. With all your bills paid from the first job, your second job/hustle can be put towards an investment fund that you can later use for a business idea, or it can be used for travel, further self-development, children's education etc. 
  4. Develop immaculate credit: Again, there's a science to this lifestyle. With past due bills paid, and a little savings/investment/travel fund building, you can now start thinking about repairing or building your credit score. By paying off old credit cards bills you will start building credit. Also by paying bills on time and by paying more than the monthly minimum payment due every month, you can begin building credit. Are you starting to see why getting a side job instead of a side chick is beneficial? 
  5. Optimum usage of your time: Like Elon Musk said, you can achieve in 4-6 months what it takes the other guy/company to achieve in a year. Not only that, but you stop wasting time. When you're working these kind of hours, you quickly realize you don't have any time in your life for B.S., Netflix binging, or shooting the breeze. Every hour counts. You quickly start organizing and economizing your day/time. 
  6. Develop work ethic: Let's face it: Most people are just coasting, just getting by, half-alive. Working hard sets you afire with zeal and purpose. People within your network will admire you and offer you more opportunities. Not to mention women love hard working providers and go-getters. 
To put this seemingly extreme concept into perspective, just think about all the doctors who are on call 24/7 and who do surgeries standing up for like 6 hours, lawyers who work 12 hours, 6 days a week, or nurses with two full time jobs, music artists who are always working and touring, immigrants or impoverished people who are forced to work two full time jobs just to survive, etc. There are plenty of people who are doing this. Some do it just to survive

If you are a go-getter this is a no-brainer. All you have to do is re-condition your mind into realizing the 40 hour work week limitation is just that, a limitation. Your body will adjust to whatever you convince it to adjust to.


There is a subconsciously rooted idea that working multiple jobs is too much for you, but it isn't true. It simply is not true. You can do whatever you decide to do and become whoever you want to become. Of course adequate sleep, nutrition, social interaction and balance is key, but overall it is doable. 

Final thoughts: The work ethic you develop from working 70-100 hours a week will stay with you, but working like this is temporary; once you have enough money saved to start your own business or enterprise you can begin to hire others, continue to work hard, but you'll be working 70-100 smart hours instead of 70-100 hard job hours. You feel me? 

I  hope you enjoyed the post/article.

The Most Important Word Ever











Forget talking, explaining, seeking out acceptance, trying to get followers, 'sharing,' looking for likes or comments on social media. Get your hustle game up and build your 'money' up, which is energy, and everything else will follow. Get your zen up, your energy level up, your spirituality up, your discipline up, your work ethic up, your results up. Forget how many people are smiling at you. Do you even like you? Smile at yourself first by hustling.

Bless up and Boss up. 

5 Ways to Love Yourself More.










Loving myself has changed my life. I noticed that a lot of times during my day to day life I wasn't truly loving myself. If asked I would generally say I had self-confidence, I loved myself, and I was generally secure in my self and my own self-efficacy. After closer examination I soon realized I was not loving myself 100%. So I decided to write a blog post on 5 ways you are either loving yourself 100% or you aren't keeping it 100 with yourself, and you may need to re-look at your self-love. 


  • Positive Self-talk/Avoiding Negative Self-Talk:  Many of us, including myself, speak negatively and caustically to ourselves. There's a little voice within and it's nothing but negative. It's always self-doubting and self-destructive. "You aren't good enough. He won't like you. You won't do well. How could you do that? Why'd you say it like that? They're not going to trust you." Now if you are loving yourself, your self-talk will be more positive. You will become gentle with yourself and you won't verbally abuse yourself. Life is already hard enough. If you ever notice yourself doing this, you can replace negative self-talk with positive self-talk. "I am good enough. They will like me. It will work." etc. 




  • Self-validation: I can't tell you how important this is. You have a unique journey that you've been uniquely prepared for. There is a saying that if you are dependent on someone's approval for your happiness then their disapproval will be your misery. One becomes a slave when always dependent on other peoples' opinions or approval. It's great to seek out the opinions of the wise and those who we care about, but sometimes, no one understands your path but you and God. Your truth can stand alone. The sun shines regardless if people complain, don't understand the benefits of its rays, or the purpose for the nuclear fusion that takes place in its core, it just shines. It's the same for you. When you love yourself you don't depend on other peoples' approval or validation for your dream or life decisions. You came here alone and  you will leave alone. Plus only you will deal with the karma of your actions so go within and validate your own dreams. Don't expect anyone to validate your dreams. They are not their dreams to validate. 




  • Self-acceptance: You are tall. You are short. You are underweight. You may be overweight. You have skin problems. Your teeth are crooked. You have cellulite. Your eye is a little lazy. Your nose is a bit pointy. The truth is, no one really cares about these things, you know why? Because people are too busy thinking about their own insecurities and perceived flaws to think about you. Most people can perceive confidence and it isn't just based off of physical appearances. 
    • There's a secret. Once you begin accepting yourself 100% you see the beauty in yourself and you start to shine because you don't shy away and hide.  This self-assurance reflects in how you speak, how you carry yourself, and your body language. Your self-acceptance becomes a unique beauty signature that no one else will have. That birthmark is cute. You are cute. You are handsome. You're fine. You're perfect. If you don't accept it though, no one will. 



  • Self-investment: People who love themselves invest in themselves. They aren't concerned with what people think about their self-investment and they do not feel guilty about it. Investing in yourself doesn't mean splurging on yourself or feeding yourself before you feed your children. That's just selfishness. It's about showing yourself love and care. There is a difference between investing in yourself and blowing money on yourself and you can easily tell the difference between investments and money blown. With investments you get returns. You spend time exercising, you increase strength and stamina. You do yoga or meditation, you improve flexibility and equanimity. These are investments. Splurging on crap you don't need is not self-investment, it is waste. 
  • Self-forgiveness: In the past you may have made some mistakes. There were obstacles you didn't overcome and you may have fell over. Self-loving people do not hold these seeming failures over their heads. What self-loving people do is forgive themselves, learn from their mistakes and keep it pushing. It makes for better and more success. 
If you made it this far, I am glad and I hope it assisted you in showing you how to love yourself a bit more. 


Until next time.

She Makes $50,000 a Week and Travels The World.

Kisha Mays is always on the move.
Mays is the 33-year-old founder and CEO of Just Fearless, a business-development consultancy that helps women entrepreneurs expand into international markets.
While she's based in Hong Kong and Los Angeles, she spends around eight months of the year outside of the US, working on projects everywhere from Malaysia to Singapore to Italy to India.
"My lifestyle is unique," she says. "Just because I get to travel around the world; I get to help women, and I get paid a lot of money to do it."
"When you travel, it opens up doors," she continues. "Even my clients in New York who have never left New York City; that is beyond me. I like that aspect of my life. I get to go around the world in the style I'm comfortable with, and I'm the boss."
During a brief stop in the US to renew her passport and visas, Mays shared some of the ways she makes it possible to run her business on the road.
She doesn't stay in hotels. Business travelers often complain of being weary of living in hotels, something Mays actively avoids. She prefers to rent a temporary home through Airbnb. "The most incredible places sometimes offer houses with great views," she says. This past year, she rented a place in Thailand for five months to get easier access to projects in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. "It was easy to be based there," she says. "Much easier than having to go back and forth to the US."
She uses technology to streamline her workflow. Mays manages a team of 17, plus some freelancers. To keep on top of her work and at the head of her team, some of her favorite tools are:
  • Trello, for project management. "It helps me keep track of everything and have conversations with my team."
  • XE Currency App, for on-the-go currency conversion. 'When you're overseas and you need to understand rates and currencies, that's a lifesaver right there."
  • Evernote, to keep track of everything that needs doing. "I can jot down quick notes and record stuff, and it goes with me no matter where I go — it's consistent."
She keeps her overhead costs low. Last year, her company's annual revenue was about $3.4 million, and for 2015, they're projecting $5 million. Mays estimates she takes home about 70% of that, due to the low overhead costs of running her business. "I hire freelancers and outsource," she explains. "At the same time, employees can work from home, or from the office." Plus, she explains, because she travels so extensively for business, many of her living and transportation expenses are tax-deductible. "It all works out in the end," she says.
Mays has just a few words of advice for people who want to strike out on their own. "The greatest thing you can do is bet on yourself and just do it," she says. 'The worst thing you can do is not do it, and keep the security of your job. Have I had failure? Absolutely." (In fact, she's written a book about it.) "But if I didn't have the failures, I wouldn't have the success. As clichéd as it is, it's absolutely true."
