4/29/18 we're going to own this, we won't let tomorrow or this challenge in general defeat us, we are going to prove it to everybody. this is not the end; this is only the beginning I want to give up, I say I'll never do this college thing again, I complain/complain/complain about my life's situation, and I simply don't want to move forward but we can't have this, we can't allow this. this is my life, we only get to do it once. your life's circumstances do not define you, what defines you comes from within. it's not about your degrees, money in your bank account, or other certificates and achievements. it's about what you do, it's about how much heart and courage you have to do the things that you get done tomorrow is the challenge, these past 5 years have been the challenge, life is a challenge. we will defeat this, together you don't need the motivational videos, you don't need mom or dad's help, you just have to get u...

4/15/2018 thanks so much for all the support guys, I now will begin my transition over to other media outlets for my business as of today. I've done a lot of "talking" along this journey since entering college, since becoming sad and depressed and choosing to pursue other opportunities, and ultimately since starting this new path with business and what I have today Simple Made Digital Social media marketing Education for starting an online business Education and consulting for improving one's life overall YouTube e-commerce and Affiliate Marketing this business has so many outlets, I have so many ideas and have gained so much knowledge, but I am afraid that I have become STUCK; that I have gotten so far and now am over inpatient, saddened with my progress, and just not enjoying this anymore. while I remain focused and determined to work I now think that this is the time to just go out, enjoy the process, and work. this daily blog has taught me a lo...

4/14/2018 Cars & Coffee was great, I always enjoy this show but I certainly cannot wait to travel and visit a show elsewhere. It's really sad in my opinion to see such a heavy police presence at our show however, we hardly have a car community as it is so why push people down. If you don't know anything about C&C basically all you need to know is that it's an international type of thing where car enthusiasts can gather and enjoy their cars. Just youTube search, Cars and coffee dallas, houston, miami, or california and you'll get a glimpse of what a "good" show looks like. Burnouts, accelerations, and maybe some revving is in my opinion mandatory at these shows but as of course, the overly sensitive population does not care for this stuff and according to the law, some of it is illegal. Long story short, our show barely appears on the internet as it's honestly lame, we rarely get any supercars such as Lamborghini's or Ferrari's to appear a...

4/13/2018 I wanna be that lion, to have no need for external motivation to do what I do. I want my motivation to come from within. I want so bad to be better that it hurts. I will do everything I can to be better. I won't be average, I won't give only 80%. I have to give my best, I must. I know my WHY and it hurts to not be there already. I can do it for them, I will do it for them, I must do it for them. Thank you. Blessings so thankful for everything I have, everything I've been fortunate to experience. my family is good, my health is good, my life is good 2 opportunities to intern over the summer; 1 I've already made conversation and applied for the other I will be applying to before the end of the day I just found out that thankfully to God I am not in too unbearable of a financial hole, that I might actually have a life worth living with regards to money my family is out there doing what they do but they're all still here and doing well and so I mu...

4/4/2018 weird days man... I simply cannot wait to no longer be a college student. it has been a very weird and in my current opinion, not so beneficial experience. it has taught me a lot, primarily life lessons. lessons that I would've learned with any of my other options available at age 18 in my opinion. I would've been happier with the other options. I for sure would've been happier working right after high school rather than immediately going to college. skipped class again :) skipped class, spent some time at the internship, then went back to campus got some more rackets to string (potentially a new client), and sat through a presentation on "effects of aging on Cardiovascular health." very good presentation I actually managed to film some more for the YouTube channel, hopefully I can get back on the 8 ball tonight I really need to finish if not get much further on the assignment for h374 that's due on Friday as tomorrow I'm expected to be ...

4/3/2018 I finally got some sleep... and... I'm feeling great it's time to rock n roll as they say, I'm ready to work I completed my stringing orders to the best of my ability, made the best of my day, spent some time at the internship, attempted to record a video for the YouTube channel and now it's time to work :) as of course, I didn't do very well on the so called "easier" test in h374, I managed to fail yet again but thankfully I'm still "passing" overall. tonight I want to work on the stupid project due this Friday for that class hopefully this means that I did very well on the test in 350, god I really need this. I have to pass that class. everything is coming along decently, idc about grades; as they say "C's get degrees," and all I want is to be done YouTube Marketing Finding a potential full time job Graduating Cert exam summer job only four more weeks after this week, thank you God... somehow we'r...

4/1/2018 it's Easter Sunday, a good Sunday but I have to study for that test tomorrow so here's what I'm gonna do for today's post here's everything I know and what I'm getting involved with regarding this business: content creation digital products content videos on YouTube photos marketing & remarketing social media email digital facebook google AdWords affiliate marketing network marketing services teaching webinars courses freelance work Fiverr etc consulting e-commerce dropshipping Shopify or my own website Amazon FBA reselling & arbitrage that's my line of work, I eventually want to have all of these incorporated into my business and be profiting from them. for now I'm profiting only from online surveys, my typical part time job, services (stringing rackets and hitting as a hitting partner), and on occasions I teach tennis. In the summer I will have a 9-5 Monday through Friday teaching ...

3/29/2018 test tomorrow, not ready test Monday, why me? project due Monday, what is life? I'm tired and super busy, can't wait for the weekend. pay day in 2 days :) people don't look out for you, you have to look out for yourself. lesson of the day for me every darn day. give your best no matter what a little movement forward is better than any amount of movement backwards can't wait to graduate already, college sucks. I wouldn't do it if we were to go back in time, wouldn't and won't do it again. I don't recommend it. in certain cases it's mandatory, in certain cases, it can negatively impact your life and future. thanks for reading.

3/16/2018 man, so many responsibilities. life is a hassle. all revolving around money of course: bills, places to be, things to get done; it never ends. I'll honestly be so happy to be done with college. a major goal of mine once I graduate is to of course find a decent job or to be making enough money to live comfortably and to then get my own place. I definitely need my own space; idc how I do it whether I have to find a roommate or whatever I just have to go. I need my own space and I need time to myself away from all this nonsense. I believe that I myself and very optimistic, I love life and enjoy the simple things in life, and have very big aspirations in life. I literally see myself going on vacation to somewhere with mountains to just enjoy the view, enjoy nature, and definitely get away from all this online media drama. just remember guys, always remain humble, always remain positive. life is never predictable, you just don't know what's gonna happen next. ...

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 ...

3/13/2018 I hope you guys enjoyed yesterday's post. thank you guys so much for reading, for consistently coming back to this blog. we average about 9 views a day, a little over 300 views a month, and we're getting close to being at 6 months of consistent daily blogs. it's been quite the experience. I plan to begin making daily YouTube videos now, I'm still trying to figure out "how" and "where" I will get this done but that's my plan. my main priority isn't just acquiring YouTube fame rather I hope to begin building my audience there. last night was a good intro to what I hope to accomplish with my channel and I hope to begin giving you guys more value here on the blog when I can. I also hope to start my new website this week, I will continue the daily blog here however. My goal is to already have a business plan and small audience in place for the launch of my website. I know exactly how I want it to look including the pages and design...

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...

3/8/2018 work work work there's always something going on. stringing a racket, losing my car for half a darn day, playing tennis, school bs, internship bs sadly I didn't pass the Google AdWords assessment here on my second attempt, the third time will certainly be the charm I know it. I earned a 75% this time and all I needed was an 80% to pass, I'm getting closer and feeling more confident. this journey has gotten crazier and crazier and I really feel as if I need to change things. I need to work on myself and renew my energy and passions towards what I'm doing. I remember doing really well in school and feeling much more energetic, things have changed quite a bit. I sometimes think about why I daily blog here. Maybe I won't make an impact or even help people but then I think to myself, I may as well do it anyways. If I can help just 1 person then that's enough for me. anyways guys, I'm gonna go out and try to have a good day, keep moving forward

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 ...

3/6/2018 we just hit 2000 total blog views as of 3/5 - 3/6 2018 counted before this post was published of course. thank you guys so much. I started this blog for me to be able to keep track of my progress and how I use my time as I'm "working so hard" now for my goals. it has been a very interesting journey thus far and by using this platform I have learned a lot. unfortunately guys, my time is frequently being misused, or at least, I'm not spending enough time doing what I really want/need to be doing. I have wanted to order this darn camera for a few days now, I have wanted to get back to working towards my Google Ads certification, I wanted to start my project for my nutrition class. but my damn internship; I spent 3 hours there on Monday and 2 hours there today. I need to be spending at least 15 hours there a week, I don't want to be there every single day. I'd much rather spend a good amount of time there per day to be there for maybe 2 days, 3 da...

3/3/2018 what a Saturday. so thankful to have our electricity back.. connecting and building my network as I can.. working harder to be working smarter all while keeping my personality I managed to arrange a lesson with a friend of mine :P it's amazing how effective word of mouth is and just how little we can know about one another as people, until we just use our words. it's the little things such as this that really motivate me. tomorrow I plan to go out and film an awesome video for the YouTube channel. as I've mentioned before I am easy inspired and see opportunity everywhere, I also love good music and with these interests I just love making videos. I'm really hoping to revitalize this craft and to begin producing high quality content for the channel. I'm working really hard on this free digital product for my business. It will contain a lot of valuable information that will hopefully spark interest to and trust within me and my brand. tonight I wann...

3/2/2018 I'm on spring break! Finally. unfortunately I have not had my coffee and due to the current weather conditions here our power went out and I now cannot make my coffee :( despite running on little sleep I'm gonna make the best of today all starting with this post. I went to my classes and that as of course was a good start but now I'm finally doing what I actually want to be doing. hopefully you guys watched my newest video that I uploaded late last night, I'm hoping to upload another video over the weekend. I'm working hard guys, I'm working very hard. with recent personal issues I now value my time more than ever. right now, this moment, is all that matters to me. I want to be able to provide for myself and my family, to be able to do things that they honestly don't even think about and probably could not imagine. I have big goals and I'm ready to fight for them. I've been asking of the world for more time to focus on myself, the time ...

2/27/2018 ugh this internship is going to be more work than I thought. not the internship in full but managing my hours as I have just fallen behind on my hours and was hoping to make things easier for myself. it's whatever, I don't even wanna think on it. it just feels as if things are just not going in my favor right now, times are just really tough. but I don't want that to come across as if I'm feeling down as I'm prepared for the fight, it just sucks to know that people don't support one another. people do whatever the hell they want to do and that usually involves a lot of factors. it simply upsets me to know/experience people not supporting those that are at least trying to make a positive impact on their lives. but that too is whatever, I'll keep fighting for myself. I actually just got some advice from one of my email clients that I was planning to have in a group where I myself would be giving advice lol. unfortunately I've lost this memb...

2/26/2018 I survived :) 2 exams in one day. 2 exams in 2 very different classes; bio-mechanics/anatomy/physiology/musculoskeletal analysis and my other class nutrition 2 rather difficult classes, nutrition being the most outlandish and insane tomorrow I definitely plan to film something and get some work done, I also really need to do a couple hours over at my internship unfortunately but I'm hoping to get things smoothed out over with my internship okay I'm rambling and talking about my problems, yet again I'm very tired. It's been a long Monday unfortunately our university suffered a loss over the weekend, a student from my degree program. it's so sad honestly. a junior whom from what I heard was well involved and going places, was struck by a car while riding his bike in the late hours of Saturday evening and passed away sometime on Sunday. so so horrible. I can't begin to imagine the reactions of his family, it's tough for us as peers of him,...

2/24/2018 this marks post 150 meaning 150 days of daily blogging over the course of 5 months with a total of just under 2000 total views. absolutely amazing. I'm shocked to see that you guys didn't really enjoy the previous post, we only got a few views despite the awesome picture of the GT-R, but that's okay. unfortunately this post won't be much better, I'm exhausted and I really need to study. 2 exams on Monday, just my luck. I'm gonna try to spend some time studying tonight before I pass out then tomorrow I will for sure be cramming in even more information. until tomorrow guys
