Getting thousands of followers on Twitter seems to be the new fad. Everyone claims to be an expert on how to do it. There are people out there with their get 30,000 followers in 30 days crap. Then there are those who do nothing but spam all day, telling you about their business of marketing. Just the idea that these tricks would work tells me that you guys have no clue on how t build a brand, well, all you can build is your own.
In order to lead you must first follow, and how many people know w…

It would be very easy to tell you every step you would need to take to take over social media. However, that would not really tell you anything. You can read for months on how to use social media, to develop your business or your brand, but at the end of the day, all you will have gained is a headache.
About this time last year a friend of mine Vincent Hunt, came to me after cycling, and told me about this thing called social media. He told me about all the new people he was meeting and all the…

Late last week we heard that Colin Powell would be making an endorsement of a candidate. Well, you could not have paid me to believe that he would endorse Obama. Because, you have to remember, this is a man that was commodore and chief for Daddy Bush, and was Sectary of State for Son Bush. He is, to my knowledge, a life long Republican. You must understand my surprise when I heard Powell say that he was endorsing O.
At first I thought he was crazy, and even now, I am still trying to understand…

My wife and I have just went to see “The Secret lives of bee’s, and I must say that it was a great movie. It was well written and well acted. I must say that I did not think that it would have been so good; however, I was very wrong. Now, I do not want to give away the movie, so forgive me if I give away to much. I hope my words push you to go see this movie.
While I watched the movie I realized many things about myself, as always, when I go see movies I do not just watch movies, I apply them t…

For many years of my life I have been brain washed to believe the Hustling is bad. This guy is crazy you may think, no, what I am realizing is that Hustlers are not bad, yes, if you are doing something that is bad, you should be placed behind bars. However, why is it positive people, good people can not be hustlers. I have realized that I must be on my grind, I must support my dreams and the dreams of others.
Yes, my field may not be the same as yours or I may not think along the lines you do,…

Who is it that you are supposed to be, because that is the key to your success. The person you are is more important than the person you pretend to be. Until you follow your heart, success will not find you. Allow God, allow whatever you believe in the restore you to the place you were are the place you should be.
Stand up for your future, and stop allowing your past kill your present. You are important, however, you must realize that you are important to this earth, and until you understand th…

For the last couple of months I have been trying to put myself inside a box, in this Social Media world, and each time I have tried to do that I have found myself doing different stuff. What we as human being must understand is that we are not limited to what we are or have been told just to be. We are made up of different things, that have different functions, so why then do we limit ourselves to just one or two things.
You as a person must look at yourself as an engine made up of different pa…

When there is nothing else for you to depend on, what do you have left. Many of us lose all hope and faith when things get bad, we seem to lose ourselves. Moreover, you are what got you hear in the first place. There is something in you that got you to this point in the first place. It does not matter if you are a dreamer or just a person that loves being you. You, should never lose you, no matter what chips are down. Now matter what cards you have been given, you are the person that can change…

I was reading an article in the Vibe with Jay-z on the cover, and the article was about OBama's effect on African Americans, and those who were apart of the civil right movements. It taught me how far we have come, but it also showed me how far we have to go. Some people were affarid that OBama was not black enough, and whats funny, when Tiger was coming on the scene and did not grab the torch of black power by the horns, we were mad but still called him black enough. Because when he won his fir…

What if God commissioned you to do a self portrait, when you were done, would the picture look like you are him. Because, so many of us think in the manor of what has happened to us, we would draw all the things we see on and in ourselves. We would make sure to paint the aging or receding hair line. We would capture the wrinkles on our face. We would more than likely capture the way our youth has faded and the pain of life has settled within our skin.
We would also have to show the weight gain…

Many of us have dreams, some of us go through out the day, day dreaming, hoping that one day we will be able to walk within our dreams. However, how many times does this come true, how much must we lose in order to see the very things we see in our heads. Moreover, will the dreams we have may only live in our head. We go to church and ministers tell us that we are about to have a break through, we wait, we wait and we wait, hoping that our time will come soon. Yet, while we wait, our bills pile…

As I have watched the debates, and the courage after the debates. One thing I have realized is that those who believe in who they believe in will still believe the way they feel. However, I do believe that OBama could have done a little better on the economy. McCain, drove home some really good issues, but McCain looked like the last of a dying breed. McCain looked like the past, not really standing out.
McCain gave a lot of history lessons, going all the way back to Alexander the great. The pr…

Twitter is, I believe, the new place to chat. However, being that many people can see your "tweets," it may not be a good idea to say just anything. Twitter is more than a wave of the future, twitter is one of the best ways to communicate your message faster than the speed of light. Twitter is now being used by companies to listen to the needs and desires of its costumers.
People across the word are having twitter meetings and networking with each just to talk about their "tweets." Now, there a…

We are at a point in America were we do not have the time to stand by and wait for things to change. It seems as Americans that we are waiting for change to take place. As a child of the rural south, I have spent countless hours within the church walls, and within those walls I have heard many messages based on the ideology of "wait on God." Well, this worked well when the great emancipator decided to historically, as we have been taught, free the slaves. How long did we wait when FDR, realized,…

Well, last week I lost my job, and there are many things that are going through my mind right now. One, my wife and I are having a baby later this year, and then there are always the bills. However, even with all of this I am understanding when to let go and let God. Yes, there are many things that I could do: like look for jobs or try to freelance somethings, and yes, these are things that I am doing anyway. However, there must come a time where in all that we do, we must step aside and allow G…

Just like your credit score, your Social Media Scores or the amount of time your name appears on the Big three, Google, Yahoo, and Twitter, may decide your future. Now, many people feel that this is not important, they are just on-line a few hours a day, and it does not really matter.
Check this out, you are no different from the big companies that are all over the search engines you use each day. The only reason, those site creators no longer have to work, is the created something that was nee…

When we go to the Dr. he or she always takes our pulse to check and see if our heart is beating correctly. Well, the same is true for our ability to network with others. Social Media has allowed each and everyone of us to develop relationships with people we would have never met. All it takes is the time and know how to grow your personal brand.
Many people go through out their lives and never get exposed the way they desire due to one thing or another. Some can not get the exposure they desire…

There comes time in our lives that we either move with the flow are we get ran over. How we look at the process is what can define if we will get better or get bitter. How many people you know would rather get bitter rather than learn form what is happing to them? I have been reading a book, and in the book the author says, "change does not mean failure." Well, just to day, my life was changed, it was changed for the better. Today a thorn in my side was moved, and that thorn was my past job, now…

Today I lost over 15 hours of my life to a job that will never allow me through the glass ceiling of success. Today I sat in almost 100 degree heat, losing more than weight, but losing time to the ideals of a company that cares more about whether or not people drink it soda rather than whether or not its workers die. Instead of being creative or writing something that could inspire millions, I spent my time helping the rich get richer.
This past summer has been one of the hardest summers in my…

know many of us watch football, yet still, some of us do not. Anyway, blitzing is a term used mostly in football, where a defense floods the line of scrimmage with more people than the Offensive line can block. Meaning, many of the guys blitzing will get blocked, but at least one defensive player will get through the O-line and sack the quarterback.
Well, this is the approach that we as internet inclined people should have on Social Networking. We should crowd the internet with who we are and t…
