My plaque is centered in our living room, for visitors to see. I originally didn’t want it, but it is a major accomplishment. My mother, despite our many differences, is proud of me. She gets wrapped up in the past, and will not change. But she at least said she’s proud. If you’re self made…

Progress – Day by Day
I saw someone say not to talk about your accomplishments, and I beg to differ. When someone sees that you can achieve something, it helps them realize they can as well. If we all acted like there’s a secret code or recipe, it makes us look like we don’t want anyone else succeeding. I have…
Sustaining Effort
People don’t like hearing great things take time. Yet, anytime I’ve rushed anything, it simply never worked. While forcing anything also fails you, building over time is way more sustainable. Establishing yourself and remaining consistent are key. I’ve come to realize that no matter how much I say this, it falls on deaf ears. I…
What Works
The short answer is consistency and dedication. The long answer is possibly unraveling for some. I would say you first need to stick with a plan, and execute the plan often. It will take your a good two to three years to see some type of results, but you’ll realize it’s something that needs constant…
Stars in My Eyes
When it comes to my work, I always do my best. Writing reviews sounds easy, but companies and business look for key points that help drive sales. Sometimes, my reviews are not accepted, which is very rarely. Other times, they are showcased on the business page for all to see – and that makes me…
Jealousy is a Disease
Right as I was celebrating my good fortune, someone let their true colors show. Let me explain this as clearly as possible. I changed my Facebook page to professional mode. I only have 32 friends. I obtained about 390 followers during the time I made that decision. 110 more would make me eligible for monetizing…
Quite the Year So Far
It is the eve of my next interview. I’m gathering photos and intel when something else MAJOR plops into my lap. I checked the stats I’ve for Snapchat often, and today, a surprise was awaiting me. As most of you know know, communication systems were backlogged – slow, lagging and unresponsive. In that time, I…
Simple Tid-Bits
The comment section is why I love what I do. Let’s face it – humans like to look good! These patent leather, burgundy wedge heels are another find from Amazon Vine. This is a staple for your closet. Why? Because they’ll match a number of things. Dressed up or down as well. I have been…
How Delectable
Amazon Vine shows me wonderful things, sometimes already loaded on my recommendations. Sometimes I stumble across things on my own. Everyone else pilfers through the first three pages – I don’t think they go past that. I click on descriptions and don’t always settle for availability or pictures. There is a lot to see throughout…
What Just Happened…?
What am I experiencing? I write reviews for products and post them online. The incentives are that the products are not only free, it’s considered verifiable income. Meaning I can file this next year – this is a job. I ask myself, “how wonderful is this?” Even better when I look on products pages I’ve…
