"Poor people always do what's easy that's why their life is always hard, Rich people are always willing to do what's hard that's why their life is always easy."
-I Wish I knew

When It's Easy, There's Always A Easier Way Out

Have you ever noticed that it is sometimes hard for people to do things that seem easy or simple to do. Maybe that's because even though something might be easy to do, it might be easier not to. I'll give you a simple example of what I'm talking about: Lets say that you just got done eating and so you scape off your plate to put your plate and fork in the sink. Keep in mind their are no dishes in the sink. And although it would only take about 15 seconds to wash out your plate and fork. It's easier not too, it's easier to sat your plate down and walk away. This is on a small scale but take a second and think about the simple things that you may struggle to do, or other situations when you take the easy way out. Someone once told me that if you can't handle the little things, the big SH*T will KILL YOU!

Hamilton Mabie speaks to us from the 1900s

These are the words of Hamilton Wright Mabie (1846-1916)and he was an American essayist, editor, critic, and lecturer.


The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.

IBD'S 10 Secrets to Success

Investor's Business Daily has spent years analyzing leaders and successful people in all walks of life. Most have 10 traits that when combined, can turn dreams into reality. Each day, we highlight one.

1. HOW YOU THINK IS EVERYTHING: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment.

2. DECIDE UPON YOUR DREAMS AND GOALS: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.

3. TAKE ACTION: Goals are nothing without action. Don't be afraid to get started. Just do it.

4. NEVER STOP LEARNING: Go back school or read books. Get training and acquire skills.

5. BE PERSISTENT AND WORK HARD: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up.

6. LEARN TO ANALYZE DETAILS: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes.

7. FOCUS YOUR TIME AND MONEY: Don't let other people or things distract you.

8. DON'T BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE; BE DIFFERENT: Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity.

9. DEAL AND COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others.

10. BE HONEST AND DEPENDABLE; TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: Otherwise, Nos. 1-9 won't matter.

Quote of the Day

Don't let your happens destroy your happiness

Main Thing

Somebody once told me "Don't put the things that matter the most at the expense of the things that matters the least." During these past few weeks a lot has transpired in a negative manner but we're not letting that stop our main objective. Being Understanding and embracing the laws of attraction we have to keep our focus and motto HUSTLE HARD, HUSTLE SMART!

Quote of the Day

"The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today's work superbly well."

Keep Pushing

One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks. And a wise man once told me that 90% of life is what you do after something happens to you. So instead of being mad, sad or depress, stay focused, don't panic. And make your next move. Cause like Kanye said that that don't kill me can only make me STRONGER.

Quote of the Day

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
-Nora Roberts

"Assume nothing, pursue everything."

Sometimes there is something that we might want to do in life, rather it be a life long dream or just a place we would like to go. But for some reason we could up with all these asumptions of what will happen, what could happen and the outcome. And this usually slows us down or stops us from pursuing the things we want in life. Some of us are so use to failing, that before we try something we think we're gonna fail by default. Before even given fourth a little effort, we think it won't work or come out right because it never has in the past. It's like we have a "if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all," kind of attitude. All this is doing is setting yourself up for failure,instead Assume Nothing, Pursue Everything. Don't assume what's gonna happen just always put your best foot forward and see what happens. That sounds corney but go hard it what ever it is you want to do, pursue it.

Quote of the Day

"Vision is the ability to see the invisible."
-unknown

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, you don't you quit.
For life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
when he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Success is just failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Quote of the Day

"Growth is not sudden, it's on going."
-Lashon Smith

Running Around

Things have been picking up for us, running around trying to handle so many things, people steady calling my phone, along with mental exhaustion, make good enough excuses for me not to have added to this blog for about a week. Everything is going as planned, so I'm not complaining. If I had to summarize the last week I would just say everything happend. We got the iron press machine, over $700 in t-shirts and hoodies, a new jet laser printer, a video camera, and we also got wireless internet connected in the crib. These were all some essential things needed for mass production. So now we can print images on t-shirts for the clothing line, and have more then one person on the internet at once. So, basically ain't nothing changed we still on the road to riches.

Quote of the Day

"Our success is not only a movement, but a lifestyle."

Ensure Your Success?

Yes, you can ensure your success by working with these universal laws and I wholeheartedly can guarantee your success!

1. The Law of Love. "In this world, hate never dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, ancient and inexhaustible", words of wisdom from the Buddha. The power of love to transform lives and make this world a better place is happening right now, you can see the works of Mother Theresa and you can see the positive influence of Dalai Lama to promote peace and harmony in the world. If you want a better life add love and wisdom into your life.

2. The Law of Cause and Effect. You've heard it many times in many forms and taught in many religions. What you sow, you shall reap. What you think, say and do will have an effect on you. What you give, you shall receive. If you want to be happy, healthy and wealthy, go and help people to be happy, healthy and wealthy! This universal law applies with every thought, word and action and it can return to you in ten folds or hundred folds! It works every time and you can run but you can never hide, it will come to you in one form or another so be careful of what you think, say or do!

3. The Law of Giving and Receiving. You cannot give without receiving and you cannot receive without giving. It is like the yin and the yang, they stick together. "There was a man, they thought he was mad, but the more he gave, the more he had!"

4. The Law of Forgiving and Rewarding. "To err is human, to forgive, divine." Learn to forgive and let go of your grievances. Everyone makes mistakes and don't be too hard on yourself too. You are only human and you make mistakes too. Learn not only how to reward others for their good deeds but also to reward yourself for being a good person and for those wonderful things you have done in the past. Rewards can come in many forms, a compliment, a few kind words, an acknowledgement, a recognition or two simple words "Thank You"

5. The Law of Trusting and Believing. Have you read the book by Stephen M R Covey? The title is "The Speed of Trust". I highly recommend you to read this book. Life and business is based on trust and belief. It is very hard to get on with life if you lack trust and belief. Build trust and belief by living a virtuous life and doing what is right. Buckminster Fuller said it very well: "Integrity is the essence of everything." Be true to yourself and be true to others. You've heard it many times before, "The truth shall set you free." Say what you mean and mean what you say and always deliver what you promised!

6. The Law of Benefiting Others. You cannot help others without helping yourself and similarly you cannot hurt others without hurting yourself. We are all interdependent and what goes around comes around! Always think of how you can benefit others because by doing so you attract all the good forces in the world to help you achieve what you want to do! Link your goals and dreams to benefiting others and you will find you are able to achieve your goals and dreams sooner than you think!

7. The Law of Gratitude is also the Law of Abundance. Be grateful for the things you have in your life. Count your blessings! What you are grateful for will grow and expand. What you are not grateful for will decrease and leave you. Always have an appreciative attitude and there are always things you can be grateful for and wake up every day with a grateful attitude. Here are some good examples of how you can start your day with a grateful attitude. Be grateful that you have good health, good eyes, good ears, good senses and you are not suffering any great pain!

8. The Law of Multiplication is working all the time and that is how you came into this world from a sperm and an egg with the life code: DNA, you multiply from two cells to four cells to eight cells and so on! In life and business, you must understand the power of multiplication and how you can leverage on it and make it a positive force for good!

9. The Law of Averages. You cannot fail all the time! You can improve your law of averages with experience and wisdom and leveraging on a proven and tested system. Success is a process and many people give up half way, they didn't give success a chance! They have done half of the work but were not willing to complete the other half! The reason people give up half way is because of ignorance, lack of persistency and lack of vision of the success that is waiting for them when they complete the work!

10. The Law of Integrity. Confucius said: "Sincerity is the highest mark of a man" When you are sincere and speak the truth you are just like the sages who make a positive difference to millions of lives with their words of truth and wisdom. When you look into the mirror every day, ask this question: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the cause of it all?" Take responsibility for your results in life. You are where you are today it is because of your past decisions and actions. If you want a better life, make better decisions and do more good deeds!

If you have found that you have benefited from this article on the 10 universal laws, please share it with your loved ones and friends and do your part to make life better and make this world a better place to live for all people!

Quote of the Day

"Struggle is just a part of my day,
Many ostacles have been placed in my way,

I know the only reason that I make it through,
Is because I never stop believing in you,

Some people wonder why we hear in the first place,
And can't believe cause they ain't never seen yo face,

But even when you pray, the next day you gotta try,
Can't wait for nobody to fall down out the sky,

You got to realize that the world's a test,
You can only do yo best and let him do the rest,

You got yo life, you got yo health,
So quit procastinating and push it yo self...."

-Cee Lo "In Due Time, Soulfood Soundtrack."

In Due Time

The song "In Due Time," that was my joint especially CeeLo's verse, he killed it. But not only that what he was saying was so powerful, it came out a while ago when we were in high school and it touched me then and now to go back and listen to it again it hit home even harder. All of us being musical people, are touched by songs in different ways, and these are the songs that become our lives soundtrack. So, I'ma go ahead and use CeeLo's verse for the quote of the day. But, in the mean time think about the soundtrack for your life, all the songs that inspire you, motivate you or just make it that much easier to get through your day.

Quote of the Day

"Perseverance and failure cannot coexist. Failure happens when you quit. When all is said and done, perseverance, commonly referred to as "stick-to-itiveness," is the ultimate success insurance. Nothing can take its place."

Dig a little Deeper

There's a story about the California gold rush that tells of two brothers who sold all they had and went prospecting for gold. They discovered a vein of the shining ore, staked a claim, and proceeded to get down to the serious business of getting the gold ore out of the mine. All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The vein of gold ore disappeared! They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there. The brothers continued to pick away, but without success. Finally, they gave up in disgust.

They sold their equipment and claim rights for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. Now the man who bought the claim hired an engineer to examine the rock strata of the mine. The engineer advised him to continue digging in the same spot where the former owners had left off. And three feet deeper, the new owner struck gold.

A little more persistence and the two brothers would have been millionaires themselves. That's gold in you too. Do you need to dig three feet farther?

PERSERVERANCE

What is perseverance?

Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.
Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
Perseverance is trying again and again.

"I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot and missed. And I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why, I succeed."
-Michael Jordan

I don't know what it is but I have been more into poetry lately, while searching for topics and quotes for this blog I have come across more and more poems that make a lot of since and really express some of the thoughts and feelings that we have. So this week we have just been working hard trying to sell some hoodies and tshirts to make some money. The customer that we showed the contract and estimate to, seemed to have fell through. But, although we're in debt, behind on our phone bill and rent, we ain't worried about a thing. And when I stumbled across this poem from Maya Angelo I not only remember why it was one of my favorites but I felt like she was talking about us all of us. Because no matter what I Still Rise...

I Still Rise



You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.





~ Maya Angelo ~

"If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. But by all means keep moving."

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Don't Quit

Sometimes we put our all in to things and they still just don't work out the way we planned. That alone is enough to feel like all your efforts went in vein and maybe even make you want to quit start second guesting yourself and everything else. When ever I feel that way I just try to take a moment to reflect and think of a way to come back even stronger, because I know we've come way to far now to look back the other way. And I'll tell myself I'm not a quitter so quitting is not a option. I know we all battle ourselves but no matter how hard the battle may be lets stay positive, strong and always remember ....

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

Let's get it

We start a new week, with a lot to do, we were supposed to start a job this week but it's not looking to good though. We went into Staples the other day and used our business credit card for the first time, so that was cool but we needed this job to pay the bill. We aint trippin, it was cool though we found some programs that we will be able to use to make professional looking invoices and estimate sheets, we also got a receipt book, and a wireless router so now we can get some things done. So, with all our new toys we put together a estimate sheet, invoice and we also printed out our contract and went to take on our first customer. It was challenging but we got through it and it was a good learning experience we learned a lot about contracts, dealing with people and patience. The weekend was super busy, because we have been helping Straw get the clothing line going with everything else. It's a lot of work but everyone has been working together and it's a beautiful thing..So we'll just keep on pushin

Walk the walk

We all know that saying "it's easier said then done," but it seems as though a lot of us out here like doing what's easy because all we do is talk. Talk, talk, talk and nothing gets done and no action is taken. It's about time that we stopped talkin that talk and started walkin that walk. Excuse language but ain't SH*T else to talk about, you know what you suppose to do and what you need to do so do it. First of all people really don't want to hear you talk, especially if you're the type that just keeps repeating yourself talking about what you're gonna do. Who are you really trying to convince?

"Faith is taking the first step and not being able to see the whole staircase."

Worry

I never knew what the meaning of worried was, I mean I had a understanding of what it meant but the true meaning is interesting. I thank GOD for all the knowledge he has blessed me with, I understand that I could never have it all, and the day you stop learning is the day you die..But like I said I thank GOD because the more wisdom and understand we get the less CONFUSION we have and we can live without FEAR, WORRY free...

THE MOST POWERFUL LAW IN THE UNIVERSE

The Most Powerful Law in the Universe

"Our thoughts and feelings are the colors that paint our reality." - Eva Gregory

Are you aware of what a powerful creator you are? Do you know that everything that is happening to you or has ever happened to you is, without exception, in full response to your thoughts — and more importantly — the emotions behind those thoughts? Take a look at your life. There are probably some areas you're really happy with and some areas you're not so happy with. You may even believe you are a victim of your circumstances. I'm here to tell you, you are not a victim! It's simply a matter of understanding how to play the Game (of Life) by understanding the rules...the Laws that define the Game.



Would you agree that whether you believe in the law of gravity or not, it exists? It is the same with Universal Laws. They exist and affect you whether you are aware of them or not. However, Universal Laws are far more powerful than gravity. Gravity affects earth. Universal Laws are infinite and beyond all boundaries.


Of all the Laws, the single most powerful law is the Law of Attraction which says: "That which is likened unto itself is drawn" or more simply put, "Like attracts like". This means that what you are focused on, you draw to you. Here's how it works. When you are focused on what you want, you are attracting to you what you want. When you are focused on what you do not want, you are attracting to you what you do not want.


Okay, I can sense you rumbling out there and your thoughts are probably going something like "So if it's that simple and clear, why haven't we known this before?" Or, "I've been focused on wanting more money for years, so why hasn't it come to me?"


The Law is that simple. However, our thoughts are usually very unfocused and running in many directions at once. For example, you may say "I want a sleek new sportscar." In that moment, the Universe is orchestrating circumstances and events to bring it to you. And yet, usually, in the same sentence, we sabotage ourselves by saying something like, "but I can't afford it." So, in essence, the Universal forces say, "Wait a minute. Now he says he can't afford it." And you stop the energy flow.


So, take it a step further. When you are thinking about wanting a new sportscar, but feeling you can't afford it, where are your emotions vibrating? In most cases, they are vibrating in feelings of lack; feelings that you want something you really cannot have. Can you see how, by not understanding this Law — that our thoughts and emotions are our attraction base — we hold things away from us we could otherwise have?


Let's take the example of money. You say you've been wanting more money for as long as you've been alive. When you think of wanting more money, how do you feel about it? Happy? Elated? Or frustrated? Angry? Sad? Maybe, jealous of those who do have money? In my experience, this particular subject has more people on an emotional roller-coaster than all other subjects combined. The good news is that it doesn't matter how long you've felt this way or how deeply...you can literally turn it around and begin flowing money to you by consciously and deliberately practicing the Law of Attraction through your thoughts and feelings.


Anything in your life you want to change, you can — simply by understanding the Law of Attraction, and choosing to deliberately change your thoughts and constantly reach for the thought that feels better. The way you predominantly feel about any given subject is your barometer for knowing what your balance of thought is on that subject. The circumstances of your life is another indicator. If you're ever wondering which end of the barometer your thoughts are on, check in with your emotions. Your emotions never lie about the way you are flowing your energy.

CONFUSION

Confusion just like fear an earlier blog entry is something else that has plagued us. For years, we have second guested ourselves, wondering what to do, what we should be doing, and how we should be doing it..

Today was a good day we got a lot done. It's funny how when we stopped second guesting ourselves and wondering how we would get things done, and started getting them done. We began seeing real progress..Earlier Brownsville Signs and Printing called me and told me that the "proof" for the Devine Property Management Inc. flyer was ready, so we went to check it out. And it was crazy, we were truly impressed with how it was put together. They hit it right on the head, we couldn't ask for anything more. Another week and we can hit the streets with those. In addition I was able to connect with Straw and he agreed to a merger between UnJust Clothing and Antonio Valourous. We got some money together so we could get some supplies and get started putting some sh*t out. Things are looking very promising on both sides so as long as we keep on pushin, we'll be straight in a minute......

con·fu·sion


1. Disturbance of consciousness characterized by inability to engage in orderly thought or by lack of power to distinguish, choose, or act decisively

2. a mental state characterized by a lack of clear and orderly thought and behavior

"Luck is a opportunity for the prepared.."

Vision and Knowing

"Just because your eyes are open don't mean you are seeing, just because your eyes are closed don't mean you are sleeping". It's another day at the office trying to make it happen. Having all the knowledge doesn't mean that you have the power but having all the knowledge and applying that knowledge is having the power. We are now taking the neccesary baby steps to accomplish our mission and pushing harder everyday. It's something like being at the begining of a forest and not knowing where to start but some how finding your way through and being able to see where you are going. Now you have your vision it's time to get real active, down and dirty and hit the pavement. As the famous Bob Marley would say " I can see clearly now".

7 Qualities of a Successful Person

7 Qualities of a Successful Person
Guest Author - Katie Byrd

The qualities of a successful person can vary – depending on the person. But there are 7 main qualities and only one success quality they all share in common. Guess what?

Persistence!

Persistence is the only common success denominator of all successful people. As Calvin Coolidge said in one of the greatest quotes of all times:

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is filled with educated derelicts. Perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent.”

Seven Main Success Qualities of a Successful Person

1. Know what you want. I’m not just talking about business goals. You need to be crystal clear about all your desires. Everyday hundreds of things tug at our attention. If you don’t know what you want, you’ll end up someplace else or all over the place.

I’ve known people with lots of great success qualities who worked hard, but still ended up just spinning their wheels and getting nowhere. You need to be crystal clear what success means to you. That's how you know when you get there. Only then can you say, “I made it! I achieved my goal! I am successful!”

2. Prioritize. It’s not enough to know what you want; you need to have your priorities in order too. There are many times when you have to choose – even among your own goals. So write down what you want in priority order and check your list whenever you get confused. But don’t engrave it in stone. You’ll need to make adjustments as circumstances change.

3. Manage your time effectively. Effective time management is an essential skill that takes time and practice to master. Few people become successful without it. When you’re on the track to success, organizing all your activities, goals and priorities in your head is just way too difficult. It needs to be written down.

4. Think and speak positively. Although positive thinking sounds like a cliché, pessimists never succeed. Successful people generally use optimistic self-talk, an attitude of gratitude and a positive perspective to stay enthusiastic, creatively motivated and consistently moving towards their vision.

5. Take action. No matter what anyone says, you can't get what you want by just thinking about it. However, if you’re intently focused on a clear enough vision of what you want, you’ll just naturally start taking the appropriate actions to reach your goal. You’ll get great ideas, know what to do and be motivated to do it.

6. Pay the price. Sorry, there are no free lunches. You have to work to get what you want. But when you know how to properly motivate yourself, it’s easy. You'll feel excited about pursuing your goals and truly understand that “the joys in the journey.”

7. Be persistent. Finally, we return to the only quality that all successful people share – they never give up! And, because of that, they tend to make far more mistakes and have far more failures than unsuccessful people. But failure only stops failures. Successful people get right back up on their feet (possibly to fail again), and keep on keeping on, until they finally succeed.

And if you follow these guidelines with patient persistence, you'll succeed too.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.” - Mary Manin Morrissey

FEAR

It seems as though fear stops us from following our dreams and doing what we really want to do..Fear of failure, fear of change, fear of the reactions of others are just a few that hold us back. Why is that, why are their so many people unsure of themselves, talents, abilities, know how?

"Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

On the path of greatness

Today was just another day on the path to greatness.. (on the road to riches) Everything is going well right now and it seems like everybody is on a emotional rollercoaster. Excitement, anxiety, fear are some of the most common. But, rather we're ready for it or not it's coming. So, we'll keep taking these baby steps on this great path.

THE PATH OF GREATNESS WITHIN YOU
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are quick to take offense, then you'll be under the control of those who you find offensive.

If you are easily angered, then your actions will be dictated by those who anger you.

If you are obsessed by what other people think, then you will be imprisoned by their thoughts.

If you yearn for easy answers and quick solutions, you'll fall prey to people who offer you nothing but promises.

If you find the truth too difficult to bear, you'll be enslaved to those who tell you what you want to hear.

When you have the courage to think for yourself, the strength to accept what is, the commitment and discipline to make a difference, then you experience freedom.

You have true freedom to live with purpose, joy and fulfillment.

Let your life be defined, not by reactions to what others do, say, or think but rather your own unique vision.

Raise your eyes above the pettiness and follow the path of the greatness that is within you.

Quote of the Day

"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got."

Why is it that people naturally resist change..

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

Slow Motion, Better then no Motion

Today was a good day a lot got accomplished. For one we got this wack a*s 3 in 1 scanner, print, fax to work. Well, at least scan and print, the fax won't work with the video phone, so.. Being able to print is a start I was getting tired of paying that ol head in the resource center $3 to print something off the internet. On a larger note we were able to apply for a DUNS number (google it if you aint corporate thuggin) Also today we started the business account with Chase bank today, the starting balance is none of your business just know it's some zeros behind it...

A DOLLAR SAVED IS A DOLLAR EARNED

No One Can Hit You as Hard as LIFE can..

The world is a mean and nasty place, it doesn't matter how tuff you are, it will beat you down to your knees and keep you there if you let it. Nobody is going to hit you as hard as LIFE..It's not about how hard you get hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done, you have to be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you not where you want because of him or her or anybody. That's what cowards do and you're better then that. -Rocky

Get Down on the Ground

Gillie Da Kid this what we was rockin in Philly

Quote of the Day

"KNOWING IS NOT ENOUGH, WE MUST APPLY.. AND WILLING IS NOT ENOUGH, WE MUST DO"
-Bruce Lee

Let's stop being scared, making excuses, putting things off and let's get it done.

The Pursuit of Happiness..

Today, we just got back from Philly, and it was a hell of a trip. We really couldnt ask for more.. We got to get away from Chicago for a minute, so the change of scenary was lovely. But, not only that we got to do a lot of networking with some different people. And another plus was we got to get together with Vince and put our heads together so now it's no looking back we know what we have to do.

Filed Articles of Incorporation

On Sept. 10, 2007 we made one step further in our quest for international wealth and greatness, we filed the articles of incorporation. So it's official Devine Property Management & Development Inc. And together with Paragon Property Investments, LLC we got two strong intities. So we will continue to take these baby steps...

The Quote that day was: "Poor people always do what's easy that's why their life is
always hard, Rich people are always willing to do what's hard that's why their life is
always easy."

They say success is a journey, not a destination...
