JUNE IS ABOUT PRODUCTIVITY!
The plate is full, but (as they say) “To whom much is given” No “settling!” By Relentless Aaron
I RECALL THE DAYS WHEN I WAS HUNGRY; unsure of where my next dollar was coming from, bills looming overhead, the phone not ringing like I wanted it to. You end up looking at junk mail for opportunities, and maybe you really go left and binge on TV, on food or something worse. Not that TV & food is worse, but it certainly CAN be if its not consumed in moderation. So

many people are now confronted with these same realities, but perhaps with no history or experience to draw from in dealing with this new world they’ve titled as “recession.” I’d love to address every situation individually, to help you out of your “stupor.” But there simply isn’t enough time in the day, nor is there the proper financing to support the time & effort needed to
address individuals. And besides, everyone’s situation is different. WHAT I CAN DO, however, is to dish some advice as to how to move forward. And the first thing I know is that we tend to settle-in; that is, we get comfortable (some of us) in that place we call mediocrity. And some of the entrepreneurs among us will make adjustments in the pricing of our products and

services just to draw upon lump sums of money, just to get over a hurdle or two. But then, that inevitably watersdown the purity of the product or service we’re offering. How so??? Well, lets say you’re a barber, and you now wanna change the pricing of your haircuts so that you might (hopefully) draw larger numbers to your chair. Well, with larger numbers, that would tax your free time which then weighs upon health, eating & sleep, or else your equipment, which we tend NOT to replace when necessary. So many levels of the equation, and don’t act like you’re Mr. or Ms perfect, with all your T’s crossed and I’s dotted. Thing is, stick to your strong muscle, but make sure the whole body is worked. Also, add some diversity to your product or service line/careful not to step too far outside of your brand or skillset. Most importantly, maintain your mojo; you know, that feeling
Maybe everyone doesn’t agree with who Mike Tyson turned into, but everyone and their Momma agreed with his come-up. We all stood by to appreciate him as a young champion, regardless of his handlers and what they did/didn’t do to him. Regardless of the leadership/lack thereof. Nobody hated him when they saw what they wanted. Only when the deeds of his handlers weighed on him... only then did we watch Mike (the champion) become a wayward Mike. Leadership and life-coaches is how we become champions in life. Sports & entertainment is easy. Life? A different story. Relentless

If you’re in The one thing we don’t realize is that a business for yourself, consider consulting life coach (or any good/experienced, and accountant or attorney.

“Nobody Got Time For Dat!” (Crisp, Common Sense From A Man With Crisp, Common Sense) That is the subtitle of my latest, g reatest book, a non-fiction approach to the nonsense that we’re facing from day to day. Sure, I made my name writing fiction, but my audience needs some variety in their reading diet. After all, what kind of cook would I be if all I served up is vegetarian beans??? It would be a real smelly restaurant, ALL the time, wouldn’t it! And so it is. Look for my book “NOBODY GOT TIME FOR ‘DAT!” Coming real soon.
