Word of the Day....DIVERSIFICATION!!!

You don't hear many success stories everyday...especially when you are born and raised in poverty. So for a  young black male to make it out of the projects (check), financially prosper and still survive to make it out of the drug game (check), successfully weed his way thru countless underground rappers and shine in the music industry (check), to making it allllll the way to the top of the Forbes list (check) is more than a success story....it's Jay-Z's story. According to Forbes.com Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter personally grossed $63 million from June 2009-June 2010....how he did it?? DIVERSIFICATION!!

I guess he meant it when he said "I'm not a businessman...I'M A BUSINESS MAN...I handle my business damn"

But anyway this article is not about Jay-Z...its not even about music....its about me finally getting the AH HA moment Ive been waiting to have for far too long. If you have read my previous posts you can see that  I have been doing some soul searching trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I called myself a jack of all trades...and a master of none...but that actually turns out to be a good thing...WHEN DONE THE RIGHT WAY!!

Jay-Z, Diddy, and Akon head the Forbes.com list because they don't focus on just one thing. They are entrepreneurs, actors, and executives all at the same time. I know I'm going down the right path...I'm excited to see where this road will lead me.

Soundtrack for the Day....Jigga "U Don't Know" 

MY OFF DAY

Anyway...here you go Baltimore's own Maurice HOTDAMNIROCK!!!

Fail VS Try (Fail is kicking my ass) LOL Attempt #2

OK sooo...in my previous post I declared to blog 21 days straight...needless to say...I failed. My uncle once told me that NOTHING BEATS A FAIL BUT A TRY. So here I am again....WATCH YOUR BACK FAIL, YOU WILL BE DEFEATED!!! LOL.

Anyway...I need to be completely honest for a sec. Bare with me as I try to make sense of everything going thru my brain.

I have been extremely blessed with many talents. I am the type of women who can cook dinner, plan and design a party (within minutes might I add), all while sewing in my girlfriends weave *wink*. Sometimes I feel like being multi-talented is a curse. I'm indecisive...sometimes unfocused. Before I know it, years have gone by and I haven't accomplished any of the 5-10 things that I started. I am a jack of all trades...master of none.

At work...I sit in a cubicle (which is like a mental prison for someone with an overactive brain). But I came up with yet another almost impossible business journey. I had no choice but to laugh at myself because I have no clue where these ideas come from. I had to call my godmother on this one (she always set me straight)

"Keyaira, you have to choose!!" These are the words that she repeated, over and over and over again.

Now I'm not a very religious person...I'm more spiritual. Well...that's another part of my life that I can apply the JUST CHOOSE motto (but that's a whooollleeee notha post, which may be coming soon because I had a very  interesting conversation with a Jehovah's Witness the other day) Back to my point.

I heard something. I felt different. (I don't know if it was God or I am really schizophrenic) lol

But these words came to mind...."TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED"

This is my choice.

I choose to have outstanding work ethic. I will let my work speak for itself.

I choose to be fearless. I will not be afraid to face challenges. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

I choose to take chances, to get up and brush myself off when I fall down, to not limit the possibilities that life has to offer, to love and embrace my journey.....to live.

Thanks Godmommy.

Soundtrack for this post...Pink's MISUNDERSTOOD
