4/7/2018 another good Saturday woke up feeling not so great but we're ending it off on a good note about to do some school work for h350 then string 2 rackets for some moolah it's all about the business, probably won't get to work on it again tonight but we'll see I really need to work on another aspect of myself -getting things done -rather than procrastinating, do it now -once you start it, do it -if you're gonna do it, give it your best that's what I share as inspiration for people and now it's time for me to practice what I preach as they say. I struggle badly with completing my school work. I quickly become distracted, I easily become unmotivated to complete it, I honestly am just tired of school and homework don't take anything for granted appreciate what you have consider what you give when thinking of what you want to get nothing in life is guaranteed I just found today -something that I have- I might not need to buy/make anot...

4/5/2018 yep... another Thursday 8 hours at the internship... 9 in my books however and my goodness, can't wait till it's over completely missed lunch... typical such great weather too but oh well, another one for the books now I have to finish that stupid assignment for tomorrow until tomorrow

3/14/2018 guys, if there's another lesson I can provide that I myself also need to remember; don't spread yourself to thin. I think that's how you say it, basically don't take more on than you can chew. lol, basically, don't overload yourself. Self Discipline it's a habit. it's an urge. it's a choice. I have to meet my goals, I have to get to work, I have to do this I can do this, I will do this, I must do this no more bs'ing I'm starting my website today... those that truly support me will go follow... those that really like what I'm doing will really be a part of this because it's what I'm doing I've come up with excuses, formed too many stories against starting and now we're almost 4 months into the new year. my "business partner" who gave us the goal of acquiring our desired items and meeting financial goals by this year - I don't know I cannot speak on behalf, I cannot make someone else, I am ...

3/7/2018 welp, another long day at the internship, but we made it. I managed to pull off 15 hours exactly for this week, 3 hours then 2 hours then 10 full hours today. thankfully this means I'm not only about 35 hours behind where I need to be but my plan is to essentially force myself into finishing this internship quickly. I thankfully was able to speak with the marketing director for the club today and that for sure benefited me on my journey. I feel so noobish and weak when speaking to people who are happy and successful in life, I feel as if I'm so far behind, which I am. as I always mention, I don't live with any regrets nor am I truly unhappy but I am unhappy with where I am and with my current situation, I want more in life. this unhappiness and desire for more only motivates me to keep working harder. I keep being reminded of my age and to remember to enjoy life but honestly I don't want to do anything other than work right now. and this feeling honestly ...

2/28/2018 alright guys, another short post, maybe, idk I'm tired, I have a lot to do that I'm actually doing while writing this post and tomorrow, my "free day," I'll probably be spending most of it at my internship 😒 in other news I met a new friend today, yet again, another older individual. this older gentleman and I had a great conversation while playing tennis and I both have been reassured that I will find success and was able to or at least will hopefully be able to help him out. I was able to finish a pretty funny video for you guys, to be uploaded some time this evening. I hopefully will film again tomorrow, and will uploaded a video that's already finished later this week or over the weekend. THANK GOD, next week is my spring break. but... I must catch up on my hours at my stupid internship 😔 I'm not even disappointed or sad about it, I am just tired of doing things that I don't want to be doing. I want to spend my time working har...

2/23/2018 IT'S FRIDAY :) FINALLY! I have so much I want to get done and so much that I have to get done. I'm still catching up on some that should've been done before, there's a bunch of things going on with my classes which I have to set some priority to, and thankfully only one more week to spring break. This week literally went by in a flash, I remember joking with my friend at the start of the week about how quickly the time would go until spring break showed up and yeah, time is flying. As much as I really don't want to rush things I am so so excited to be done with college. I've often time been described or referred to as somewhat cool or interesting when meeting people and the saddest thing to me is that I have been so negatively impacted by choices I've made lately. Our choices have such a major impact on our lives and honestly my business and major messages I want to spread as a "mission statement" or word of wisdom is that you should t...

2/19/2018 it's time for a change. unfortunately guys, I did not pass my first half of the examination process for my certification in Google Ads. I'm a bit disappointed honestly but when I consider my current situation, how everything else has been going, and my overall efforts towards life lately, it's not that shocking. I have not been giving my best effort towards anything - my social relationships, my physical health, school, my business it's just been tough lately and I am for sure spreading myself too thin and asking for too much. as cool as it sounds to be doing so much it for sure isn't cool at all if I'm failing at everything I'm doing. I didn't pass this exam, haven't been doing as well as I can in school, and life just isn't how I want it to be. but today we change that, as you guys know I never let anything keep me down for too long. as the greats say, pain is temporary I'm about 12 minutes from actively skipping my class, I...

2/16/2018 another friday today we went to the MotorTrend Auto Show here in Rva got to see some pretty cool stuff including the Mclaren 720s, the Mclaren 570s, another Nissan GT-R, and even got to sit in quite a few cars. sadly another time where I didn't get to sit in the GT-R but honestly I don't want to sit in or even see this stuff if it's not my own. I am of course happy for those that have this stuff but I don't just wanna be happy for other people all my life. as I've mentioned before, goals don't motivate me anymore, at least not the rewards that come with working hard. I am trying to make the process my lifestyle and just better enjoy it. and with that I'll just accept and enjoy whatever comes with my hard work rather than look to certain things in life hoping and dreaming to have them only to live life with hopes and dreams. I think that a life like that would be sad and depressing and ultimately would lead you no where. I wanna enjoy life, and ...

2/15/2018 oh my goodness, guys I may have stumbled upon a new opportunity. I have my new student for which I'll be teaching tennis as I mentioned in yesterday's post but here we are today with hopefully another opportunity for work that will fit into my current schedule. this time what we have is an opportunity to actually work from home 😌 now I just wanna go back over this for people who later read this post my goal isn't to just be working from home, or to just have some lazy but "working" from home lifestyle, or even to just make the most money in the world. I have goals revolving around money involving cars, houses, travel plans, and even life experiences but money isn't the ultimate goal. money doesn't bring happiness. and back to the main point, while I don't just aspire to not have to go to a 9-5 job I think that anyone would agree that being able to do what you enjoy wherever in the world while making money is the true goal. to not h...

2/13/2018 Lol so I heard this funny joke about Valentines Day in case you don't have a valentine or you just have worries about this "special" day. I heard it on the radio as of course and thought it was pretty funny. those without a Valentine are dreading the fact that they don't have a Valentine while those in a relationship and therefore have a Valentine, will dread the fact that they do. Because those in a relationship wish they were single to then go out and find someone else lol It's crazy how that works but it's a bit of a sad truth in our society nowadays. people aren't loyal, and people aren't committed. guys I'm getting more comfortable with vlogging which is PERFECT. it's great for me, it's happening at a great time. It's just really gonna help. I'm really hoping to begin uploading more frequently, this should help with me being able to do that. I have a message to give out to the world, I will be great. I won't...

2/13/2018 Part 1 Yet again, I think this is the second time in the past 4/5 months of daily blogging that I've missed a day. But it was only fitting as yesterday was quite the day for me, yet another crazy one. Thankfully however I'm working on myself. Everyday I'm trying to get better as we all should. I'm trying to spend more time with friends, making new friends, and just being more social. I really want to enjoy these moments. I heard just today in a video with Gary Vaynerchuk that patience is key. Vaynerchuk is another one of those highly successful businessman that I watch over for motivation and I really appreciate what he said about being patient and enjoying the moment. I tend to be too impatient. Success doesn't and most likely won't happen overnight. I get it. Thanks guys for the support, this is the make-up post for yesterday, 2nd post coming soon.

2.11.2018 it's Sunday :) I'm gonna make the best of this day. thanks again Liana for the support and motivation, I've decided to make some major changes to better take care of myself while still making progress. It just doesn't make much sense to approach these next 3 months by making life unbearable just to get ahead. I'm gonna build my social media, I'm gonna build my business and customer list, and I'm gonna get through my classes. It's asking for a lot but I'm gonna make sure that I actually enjoy the next 3 months. We have a car show this upcoming weekend, I'm gonna change my routine a bit to include more exercising and water in my diet, and I'm gonna try to hang out with friends more often. today my main priority is to finish my homework and begin studying for my quiz tomorrow, that's it. after I've done those 2 I will work on the pages for my website , getting my financials together to be able to launch my business as...

2/8/2018 I just wanna start today's post by saying thanks so much to everyone that supports me, especially Liana! when you do get the chance to read this post Liana just know that you are appreciated and that the daily blog is going no where. today was yet another good day. woke up late, went to the internship for a bit, and now I'm back doing homework. life in your 20's is crazy! I didn't get the part of my new video filmed that I really want to include 😔 I'm hoping to get it filmed tomorrow but idk if I will be able to make it happen. The day is looking like - internship at 7am, class at 8am to 9:40am with a quiz, class at 12-12:50, studying with a friend of mine at 1pm, then internship at some point in the evening. Another fun day, I don't really wanna do any of it, not even the studying lol what I'm looking forward to getting done/stuff I don't mind doing over the next few days -car insurance/ car inspection/ car recall/ tags & taxes...

2/5/2018 It's another Monday I didn't study - wasn't prepared for my Nutrition quiz, probably didn't do so well on that. I'm hoping that I aced my exam in Hpex374 I saw an Audi R8 on the road while going to class, and towards the end of the day I got to see a student pull off in an SRT 392 Hemi Charger Yet again I had a good conversation with my buddy - one of my only real "friends" at the moment I did thankfully meet with my group for Nutrition, hopefully that'll be an opportunity to make some more friends For some strange reason gas prices are up, my car took more gas than expected, and the computer/dash inside is reading a lower normal than normal for how much gas it has alright now to the good stuff.

2/3/2018 Day 128 of the daily blog We're now approaching half a year of daily blogging with around 1,600 views and a lot of progress having been made. I keep thinking in my head how badly I wish this routine were taken to YouTube where instead of having a daily blog, there was a daily vlog. I keep on thinking this. But when I think about it, my intent on gaining traction with YouTube deals a lot with the financial benefit that comes with success on that platform when honestly that shouldn't be my intent. As much as I love creating videos I don't think I'd be as motivated to pursue YouTube if there were no financial benefit, meaning pay from the ads. I value the platform as a means of gaining an audience but I really need to better appreciate the work I've put in here. It's been half a year and I for sure have grow by some degree within the small time frame of the 128 consecutive days of daily blogging with this blog. I just wish I had an audience to commun...

1/31/2018 so many videos, business is definitely for me. I really hope to become a full time YouTuber one day or at least have that option/type of lifestyle. if the way we find our true purpose in life is by looking at something we enjoy doing more than anything else for me it would definitely be driving, specifically driving only to then create content. I love watching car related (driving pov) videos with supercars myself so I absolutely plan to recreate them one day if I am given the opportunity. I only say it in that manner because honestly sometimes it feels as if by the time I'm "able" to buy a new car or really get into business it'll be too late. all of the guys I'd love to be working with to create videos with and/or enjoy time with are already doing it and only getting older. I still have to graduate and then pay off my student loans before I can even enjoy life. or atleast it feels that way sometimes. I truly think that college was not the best ch...

1/30/2018 9 hours spent at my internship today, and I'm not exaggerating or lying about those hours. 9 full hours including both free lunch and dinner while working with my supervisor. holy cow while I honestly complain a lot over the simple things such as "having" to do this 240 hour unpaid internship I won't even make a single complaint about today. all I will say is, holy cow. this is coming from a 23 year old who has never worked that long ever even for pay on a job. I've obviously never had a class that lasted that long and honestly have never really spent that much time doing anything nor have I spent that much time with any one person. 9 hours spent breaking down (chipping rust away from) an old exercise machine and then repainting it which we have to finish in the morning. internship at tennis club - fitness major - health internship - painting? yeah idk how I've managed to do this with my life but I honestly will not make any complaints today....

1/26/2018 oh my god. if this week was an example of how the next 14/15 weeks will be then my goodness we are in for it. my head is hurting yet again, i truly may need to go see a doctor at some point as all this stress is no good for sure. as it turns out, my semester is only maybe 16 weeks long and next week will be week 3 in which I will enter with about 25 hours completed at my internship. we're actually on track here and everything is going "okay" thus far. I for sure need to spend more time studying next week and maybe just maybe resting also, but we're doing well, we're surviving. financially, my goodness. that's another whole story but thankfully we're still in the green. I managed to not spend more than my income for the month and hopefully this check will reflect a little more money than normal as I "clocked in" for the training this week. that's maybe an extra 5 hours to the 10 I usually get paid for every two weeks. emotional...

1/25/2018 alright guys for this post I just want to reflect on life and to just acknowledge how far we've gotten. in a matter of days I may finally be settled, long story short. I'm becoming more accustomed to how life will be for the next couple months which I ultimately have to be in order to make all this stuff happen. my post from earlier was just me rambling, getting everything off my mind, and mostly showing what I'm doing right now. my nutrition class will require at least more effort towards studying on my part than what I've been putting in over the past, well life time. my bio-mechanics class will seemingly require a good amount of effort also as the professor has seemed to have changed things around for this year. my YouTube channel is flowing, I'm recording and uploading regularly which makes me very happy. I'm hoping to buy that external hard drive soon so that I can continue making videos. my internship is going pretty well, looks like I may ...

1/24/2018 ugh and I thought today's post would be a good one. It's literally been such a crazy day thus far but as I'm reading this I'm now noticing that thankfully, it's only 7pm. I'm gonna finish this day on a good note. Here's a few more videos coming soon for the channel: night driving (awaiting editing) maybe add c&c clips day 1 with paper trading/ investing (awaiting editing) more thoughts on college etc part 1 (awaiting editing) thoughts on college pt 2 (coming soon) just get started motivation video 2018 (coming soon) starting your business/ branding this is why I can't get a GT-R (coming soon) about me video 2018 (coming soon) tennis clips and there's plenty more videos I have written out already and then of course all the topics I have planned in my business notebook. There's so much to be done with my business and I'm trying to make the best out of everyday with building my online presence and platfor...
