4/10/18 it just goes to show, if you just show up, things happen you can just show up with a racket and tennis balls at the tennis courts and someone will play with you it doesn't matter where you're from, what you do, or what you look like we as people are here to be together, to work together met some more tennis friends today and got to see some very nice cars mustang gt, ferrari california, a subi wrx (lady driven), a challenger hellcat as well as a few other challengers I'm still soo tired though, I'm just always tired I'm not unmotivated at this moment but I am feeling sluggish and sleepy didn't go to the internship today 😅 I normally go there on Tuesdays but with all the time on the court I honestly just didn't/don't feel like it today, maybe tomorrow today's my day about to work on the free product, hopefully finish my part for the h350 group project, and get things planned out for the remainder of the week for my business

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

3/27/2018 it's that kind of day, I need it. Nissan GT-R R35 seeing this car is motivation for me, so motivating :P it's already turning out to be one of those days so I need to flip the day over and get some things done. Keep Moving Forward

3/9/2018 alright guys, another great day. it's Friday, sadly I'm starting the blog rather late which means many of you won't be able to see it in time but I will try my best to finish this quickly. my posts are normally completed later in the day than now but I'm going to try to post earlier for you guys for now on. idk about you guys but I sometimes like being busy. it gets me going and forces me to be energetic and motivated which I guess for me is a bit easier since the normal things I have on my schedule I don't mind. worked a bit x 2 doing fun stuff, then handled my school stuff, lost my car for a bit then got it back all good and new and now I'm home relaxing and "working." I'm gonna try to upload a video for you guys tonight then hopefully do some more filming next week. I really want to pursue this more heavily but we'll see how life goes. here's a little motivation guys, if you need it: you have to believe in yourself i...

2/25/2018 guys I messed up. yesterday's post was always gonna be shorter than normal but I forgot to mention that today was/is a special birthday. my dad's birthday is today and I'm hoping that this gets to you guys soon enough to wish him a Happy Birthday. unfortunately I now have less than 24 hours, much less actually, to prepare for the 2 exams I have tomorrow. an exam in h374, the class I'm repeating and nutrition, the class I'm beyond annoyed with. it's safe to say that I cannot wait to get tomorrow behind me although I truly am obviously not rushing time. I for sure am not rushing Tuesday as I recently realized that I am quite a ways behind on my hours for my internship so starting this week I really have to begin staying at my intern site longer no matter if I have something to do or not. it's unfortunate and I really am hoping that my supervisor will allow me to do some hours either off site or make-up hours. anyways guys I've finally assig...

2/17/2018 man my current job sucks lol how many of you can relate? or how many people do you think say this kind of stuff on a regular basis? I for sure think it's at least a little prevalent, many people don't enjoy going to work thankfully this little part time job is temporary, within the next 4 months, life could and most likely will be very different for me I'm just so thankful for this moment and life in general, I really can't wait to have my freedom back and to basically not have to think of homework or classes that need to be taken I'm currently working on certifications for marketing under Google & Facebook, as well as certifications for IT repair under Google, building my email list and gaining valuable knowledge in the field of business, as well as constantly working on my YouTube channel and providing daily posts for you guys here on this blog, all while being a full time college student :P ugh another late posts, I'm sorry guys, Sat...

2/6/2018 I really do enjoy spending time with friends, people in general. I love meeting new people and growing, I always want to be growing. I am somehow friends with Daryl Monfils, many of you won't understand this but to me, oh my god lol. Daryl Monfils is the brother of Gael Monfils and if you don't know who that is, Google him. I'm hoping to go ahead an finish yet another upload for the channel by tonight along with studying for my Nutrition class, which I really have to start giving more priority to. all in one day - wake up late, edit and finish a YouTube video, played some tennis, hung out with my boy Mahir and his awesome car. Tomorrow's gonna be a messy day. hopefully I can have a repeat of today but if I do, I'll be more productive. today I wasted too much time honestly. I spent a good 4-6 hours editing my video, I really hope you guys like it. I now have about 30 emails or so which I mentioned yesterday I think, now I think I'm ready to spea...

1/27/2018 make your dreams come true ... just a little on my crap. yet another crazy day but then again we're still in this insane week. it all started on just about the worst note with me missing cars and coffee. and of course just because I chose not to get up out of bed, there were so many nice cars in attendance, cars I have never even seen before. A Dodge Demon, a TrackHawk, a Mclaren 675 Lt, and an Audi R8 V10 plus convertible. work was crazy as usual, oh and I somehow managed to end up at a 1 person training session for a new tennis business for rva, a business where I may or may not be helping with marketing purposes. another story for another day. guys, it's so much easier to take the risk and live life on your own terms/follow your dreams than it is to not make choices based off of your true passions/work someone else's dreams. you only get to do this life thing once. i write these daily posts as a reflection, as a backstory/an autobiographical reference if...

1/19/2018 Another blessed Friday, I don't have much to say besides the fact that I'm very thankful. Very happy to have been here for 23 years now and hopefully for another 23 years of fun and good memories. Thanks for reading and I'll see you tomorrow

1/18/2018 1 more post for you guys, really for myself here (the information). 15 weeks of class starting next week, graduation is May 12th, a Saturday 🤔 I'll have to take off work, hopefully by then I'll be quitting my job anyways. Life for sure will be different by then, life will be different very very soon. May 7-11th is the week of finals, I don't think I'll have any. May 4th is the last day, thank you GOD cannot wait for this day yet I won't and wouldn't rush it at all. I'm gonna enjoy these days while I struggle, hopefully building my business to some degree I will be building my business, and hopefully 2018 will be my year. If I could pay my student loans of $70,000 off this year that would be a dream come true. anyways, 15 minutes or so till my b-day, see you guys tomorrow.

1/13/2018 As optimistic as I want to be I can't believe how quickly time moves. I'll be going into yet another semester of college in a few days and I honestly am just over it. I really could care less about completing my coursework and getting my degree. I love to learn and will always have a thirst for knowledge but some things I value more over others. Things that are more relevant for example, or things that quite frankly are more important to know. Something I've picked up from the most successful people that I believe most people will never truly understand and/or acknowledge as important to know involves the idea of not simply following the crowd. You shouldn't do it just because "everyone's doing it," and honestly you should do in life what you want to do. Everyone is on their own path and there has never been nor will there ever be a right way to do life. And quite honestly I believe that this formal education in college is just not for everyone...

12/31/17 It's the last day of 2017 man, crazy. Another whole year of life has gone by and I must say this year has to be a bit different. It will be a bit different. In this year we're gonna do better, we're gonna go farther, we're gonna be better. For me it's time to really get up and take actions on the things that need to be done and I'm excited to see where life will take me. I'm excited, I'm anxious, I'm nervous, and I'm a little scared but 2018 is here. My student loans will become active this year, I'll be graduating from college, my brother will have to make big decisions regarding where he'll finish his remaining time in undergrad, my cousin will be returning from the military; there's so much already impacting us for 2018. I want to begin making better content, I wanna actually begin profiting from marketing and/in addition to building my own online business, I want to work with all my newly acquired networks for projects,...

12/26/17 Alright, today is the day darnit lol. I have been doing a lot and I do mean a lot of talking here on the blog but I'm about to have either a cup of tea or coffee and get to work. It's currently about 6:30 here on the east coast in the states and I have to put in some major work. My "Why" has me extremely motivated and extremely hungry for success. I know what needs to be done I just don't know how exactly to do the things that will get me to where I want to be. Affiliate Marketing: either creating a landing page for people to go to who are looking for the products I'm promoting, creating a landing page where I'll collect emails to then send people the products I'm promoting, or just going out and sharing my affiliate links on various platforms.       Also it would be nice to use my YouTube channel to promote affiliate offers but my channel is not purely for profit. My channel as you guys know is documenting my journey while providing mo...

12/24/17 More Motivation, More Motivation! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays my people, I hope you all are able to enjoy these good times with family and friends. I am so so so so so motivated and happy and filled with energy. GT-R here I come. 2018 will be my year! 2018 will be the year for all of you as well, to do anything that you aspire to achieve. After watching more videos today from a few channels I'm subbed to I'm really considering going with the route of a print-on-demand Shopify store. This basically means creating my own t-shirt store. As some of you will know I currently have my own t-shirt store for my personal brand under Teespring but this idea would involve using an app like Teespring through the Shopify platform. Long story short, by doing this I would have a better looking store with the capability of making higher profits for a longer duration. This option over just trying to find some random product would be so much easier and I truly see the advant...

12/23/17 A little over an hour from Christmas Eve yet I don't see Santa 😟 If we lived in some magical world where you could really get what you want or at least, I were actually getting any real gifts I wouldn't even ask for anything. I guess some others at my age are fortunate enough to still get gifts whether their parents/loved ones can afford it or they're just more creative and free spirited with their money. Over here that is certainly not the case, I wouldn't/don't even ask for much because I don't want those around me to spend their money on me. I know what I want right now and in life in general and these things I really will gain much more satisfaction through acquiring for myself. Let me know if you can relate. As usual, didn't get a darn thing done at work, it's really a waste of my time. Like I literally need a new job, definitely a priority for early 2018. I noticed that we got more viewers on yesterday's post regarding the ent...

12/17/17 Oh no, back to the old habits. Another late post, another unproductive day. I wasted the whole day, but I did pass my exam and the cumulative final :) Another good Sunday to be alive, cheers to another great week. Twas the week before Christmas, amazing. Time is moving so quickly man, you have to enjoy the time while you have it. Love life and it will love you back. Despite the troubles you face or situations you arrive in we must keep moving forward. I am so happy to say, so happy to see that the past few days we've been getting more views than ever before. Thank you. For those new to the blog I will keep this part short, this blog is much more than a personal reflection. My name is Derrick, thank you for stopping by my blog. I want to also mention that I Vlog on YouTube ( click here to go to my channel ). My goal with this blog, my channel, and my brand in it's entirety is to motivate others to chase their dreams and to live their lives on their own terms. I da...

12/15/17 Guys I got to see a $575,000 dollar car today lol. That's a little over half a million dollars in a car, a 2017 Ford GT to be specific. For sure the craziest car I've ever seen in person and there it was sitting casually in a Ford dealership here in Richmond, Va. It turns out the car is owned by a professional MLB player and from what I'm hearing, his team made it to the worlds series recently. I don't know much about baseball but wow lol, wow wow wow. Obviously I'm not gonna switch my mindset to becoming a baseball player but it's so great to see someone else from this side of the world, this side of the country having such success and buying a supercar. I won't go into much detail, especially since I don't know all the stats but the car was full of carbon fiber, super light weight, and is super fast. I must say, this car made my day, this car gave me a lot of motivation. Besides seeing the new Ford GT I also got to see that yellow Lamborgh...

12/14/17 Oh my goodness my people, another good day. Wow it is so late yet again, but today was indeed quite a crazy day. I actually do have a bunch more work to get done aside from all the stuff that had me in such a happier mood when starting this post. It's been about 20 minutes since I wrote the first sentence but now I must quickly finish this post as I have a busy day tomorrow. The good stuff: I managed to sell one of two of my Babolat Aeropro Drive Gt tennis rackets on ebay for $100 and the other I'm awaiting to hear if $90 is a reasonable adjustment. I was given these rackets back in 2010 when I first started playing the game and the original price was $199 per racket. Yes, tennis is a very expensive sport haha, but honestly people tend to get new rackets every year which is insane. Anyways we go from $400 of tennis rackets in 2010 to roughly $200 in just about 2018, I for sure am okay with this. Most often you play with a racket and some wear and tear occurs so t...

12/13/17 And we're back on track. So I'll pick up where we left off on the post from earlier... With all that being said, with all that taken into consideration I give so much effort towards this because I truly believe and I know that there is more to life. We have to keep moving forward and striving for more in life otherwise you become complacent. Otherwise you become comfortable. And this state of rest is when you begin to lose perspective, you begin to take what you have for granted. Ultimately you will fall behind because as you back off there is always someone else out there that is giving 110% each and every day because we aspire for the same high levels of success. And so with my YouTube channel I really want to be able to show people, if even just 1 person that you can achieve anything you want in life. As I've mentioned many times before, by documenting my life it's especially good for me as I'll be able to look back on these moments and it simpl...

12/13/17 Oh no, I missed a day. I somehow managed to forget to write a post yesterday, that is not good. But that's a bit reflective of how things are right now and honestly it's okay. Things happen and everybody forgets. But that for sure means 2 posts today, 2 good posts. This post will be a bit shorter but the actual one for today which I'll post later tonight, will be better. For this post I'll talk to you guys a bit about what I've got going for the business. I'm considering spending about $200 on merch to have on me. I'll have about 2 hoodies for myself and the rest will be for my family. I'm hoping to get some good photos of the shirts and hoodies to be used for advertising as I'm sure you guys have seen before. I am just so excited to have clothing of my own brand, a brand that I myself am building up to be a big big brand. I'm gonna end the post off with this guys, I must get back to/start studying for my exam tomorrow. My Bran...
