SOUNDTRACK OF THE DAY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

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

Sooo Im off of work on this rainy day. Usually the rain messes with my mood. But I came across these videos on YouTube that had me cracking up alll morning.

Im sure it will brighten your day...as it did mine.

Meanwhile....I really need to be working on my next blog.

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