The last 6 months have been great for me, and I will share how I avoided the writing slump that most writers face. Life takes you on a crazy ride, and you have to learn to drive with it and not against it.

Too many people let life take them down. Mentally you need to be prepared for what life throws at you.

The year 2020 was bad for everyone. The coronavirus shut down the economy. Businesses closed temporarily, and some closed for good. Students were learning virtually, and teachers were pushed in a new direction.

For me, I had…

In most of my online photos, you’ll see me wear a polo or dress shirt. Normally, I’m comfortable wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants.

The big question is why do I wear a polo or dress shirt?

It’s because of one disgusting word that makes the news almost daily.

Racism.

If you’re white, you could walk into a store in a t-shirt and jeans and no one would say a word to you. As a minority, it’s a different story. Wherever you go, someone is always watching you.

The other day, I had to make a quick trip to Walmart. I…

You may have seen writers complain about their low statistics. Well, I say you need to ignore them. Other writers may have lower statistics but does that mean you do as well?

This past year, I put my head down and basically did my own thing. I left Quora about a year ago and put everything into writing on Medium. A few months after that I turned it up a notch and gave writing every day a try. Since June 1, I have written at least one article a day and a few times I squeezed in a second article.

You can sit back and watch television on the weekend and enjoy your break. Time doesn’t sleep and neither should you. You can do these 10 things that successful people do on their weekends.

There is no magic formula. School probably didn’t teach you these habits. Sometimes you have to learn these new routines and make drastic changes in your own life.

Making changes won’t be easy but once you do, you will slowly see improvements in your life.

Politicians are supposed to work for the people yet they want to tax people who created their own wealth.

What is interesting, many of these wealthy people made their money after starting with very little.

In 2021, about 443 billionaires in the United States were self-made.

About 79% of millionaires were self-made.

If the United States is the place where people can dream big and live the American Dream, are American politicians making it harder these days?

The government is working to tax the rich and wealthy. Current proposals want to tax anyone who makes over $400,000 a year.

To be a better writer, you have to take the time to analyze your own writing. You have deadlines you want to meet, but writing article after article will not make you a better writer.

You have to take the time to analyze your work. When you do this, it could take you hours to do your own analysis. There is no simple or easy process.

A great athlete does not pop out of their mother’s womb and win all of the events. They put in the time and effort to get better. A lot of this time and effort…

Hello fellow writers,

I hope you enjoyed your week. This week, I spent some time changing my current routine.

This was bound to happen. It actually felt good since I don’t feel like I am pressuring myself to write. Sometimes you pressure yourself and can be your own worst enemy.

Since I write for three companies, one company gives me article topics and when they come in, it can throw off my normal writing routine. Somehow I try to squeeze it in with my other writing which only hurts me more. My brain is scattered trying to do too much…

News sites are trending with LeBron James reaching the Billionaire Club. I’m not going to repeat how he earned a Billion through his salary and lucrative endorsements. This will cover a little more insight into the mind of LeBron James.

LeBron James doesn’t have an MBA or even a college degree. He graduated high school and was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers to play professional basketball. Since then, he has taken the basketball world by storm.

“The first time I stepped onto an NBA court I became a businessman.”

In 2003, James signed a three-year contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers…
