Plugged.

Let me get right to it;

i always get asked by the most random people what is it that i do here in atlanta. I’ll tell you what i don’t do…

I do not work for free; ok goodnight… lol [in real life]

Just a synopsis of what it is I do all day – 

ok, so picture this 30 year old human whom has a pretty decent mind with pretty decent goals and just recently decided that they wanted to get serious about life. They decide that in the near future they want to be able to make life decisions and have their finances be ready as well. [however] they don’t know who they need to speak to, what they should do, when they should do it or how for that matter!

Here’s where i come in…

i sit down for about 20 good minutes on the phone or in person [as long as its a good hair day] and I have them tell me their goals just as they did their friends and parents, right. After those 20 good minutes i map out what they will need to do to accomplish these goals – but not only do i map this process out, i assist them in accomplishing this [and] in maintaining their new and improved life, that i let them take all the credit for changing [inserts emoji face].

So in laymens terms, I assist individuals with most things finance:

Obtaining Funding. Personal & Business Loans. Credit Restoration. Credit Building. Business Planning. Business Setup. Bookkeeping. Accounting.

[and a slew of other things that can save a life]

Seguing —

I would have never known the importance of making wise financial decisions and planning ahead financially had it not been for me wanting to get serious about life. so ‘what is it that i do?’ – i help those who are trying to transition and better themselves financially.

Take it from me; you are not going to want to be 40 when you finally decide you want to buy a house with a 30 yr mortgage. Let’s face it, we all won’t become millionaires and buy our houses outright; most of us will be regular people waking up to a different kind of grind.

Words of Wisdom: Education yourself when it comes to finances. Understand how your decisions can effect your future. Know where you stand in life. Acknowledge your true status. Think beyond today - be a Big Picture Thinker!

The Pressure

There was a time that I couldn’t find a piece of mind

Stretching every piece of my mind, to what required a piece of my attention

Losing retention; the irony in that.

Taking in so much that I’d forget this and that.

I blamed it on the pressure

My stressors; my many responsibilities.

The rent due, lights, cable, car.. it was killing me.

No literally killing me;

Insomnia kicking in, no sleep — i had no energy.

The pressure, thinking about all the pressure.

Caught a flat tire, gotta get another one; that’s another stressor.

Money flowing in, love flowing out;

Prioritizing the things I can live without.

Just a whole lot of random pressures……

—- [Insert your many pressures in life]

I’m thankful for the pressure

Long nights, early mornings and Starbucks.

I had a random thought, and it translated like a poem actually. My recent pressures have put me in a position lately to choose, to prioritize. It was the worst-best thing that could’ve happened for me. I will admit that I’ve never been the type to force myself to choose if I could find a way to have it all. SO imagine my ignorance to making “this or that” choices. It was all bad… until it wasn’t.

Somehow I managed to make a choice and be good with that choice no matter what. I’ve excelled tremendously in the way that I react to things. Over the past however long, I’ve been really digging in with getting to know the things I like and don’t like. The things I’ll entertain and what just doesn’t work for me. The things that matter and those things that are merely around to provide commercials when you’re tired of dealing with the real things in life.

So yeah, I’m thankful for the pressure. I can say it played a catalyst in the person that I’m becoming. Feeling that pressure taught me that I had to work harder than I ever thought I’d have to work. It taught me to be honest with myself and others. To prioritize. To grind. To turn water into wine.

I feel that one whom has never had a moment when the pressure is on, 3 seconds til the buzzer, with the game winning three point jumper on you… they just won’t understand where the real grind originates from.

Words of Wisdom: Don’t be afraid of that added pressure. You’ll either get through it a conqueror or a loser; you choose. 

Giving Credit When It’s Due…

Hi Everyone!! 

So recently I have been so lucky to see all the young people doing great things with their time, talent, skills and ambitions. I would be more than pleased to personally congratulate each and everyone of you that I come across; I have an idea though.

Giving Credit When It’s Due!!

A new page that I will be implementing into my Guru site! It sole purpose is self explanatory; It will be to acknowledge those who are trying to take their ambitions to higher levels. This page will consist of Reviews, Praises and slight advertising of all sorts.

The submissions do NOT have to come directly from the source; It could be another onlooker that is just as proud of progression as myself.

How To Submit?

Inbox me at Glassesguru89@gmail.com; Subject Line: Giving Credit. I will then send you a series of questions to fill out to be resubmitted for review and then shortly there after it will be posted on my site and ready for viewers. Submissions may be anything from Music to Young Entrepreneurs to Authors to Philanthropist to Chefs to Randoms..

If YOU feel they (or yourself) needs some credit for their (or your) hard work.. SUBMIT!! 

Be Blessed.

Keep People Out Your Business, It’s YOURS For a Reason

Refrain from misinterpreting my words of wisdom. Do well to understand that I only mean well. We all have best friends and family members that which we confide in during the tougher times in our lives when we feel we maybe need advice, or an ear to vent to. I feel that people are so quick to get things off their chest that they miss the step of acknowledging what it really is that ails them. People vent before they take responsibility for their situations and own up to their own  thoughts. I feel that people rush to the validation stage of wanting others to see their side of the story that they never see even why it is what it is. 

One concept I’d hope people would grasp is the simple concept that no one really knows you better than YOU.. I don’t care how long they’ve known you. You attitudes, sure.. A few habits.. Ok. I highly doubt however, that there is a best friend that knows another’s complete and total thought.. 

I like to lead by demonstration: So here’s an off brand example. 

Let’s just say yourself and a family member are in a dispute. You argue, scream and fusOs. You’re past angry. The first step wouldn’t be to call your friends to vent, it’d be to assess. By all means once you’re confident in knowing the root of your situation, if you have “that person” sure share, to each it’s own. I, personally, would refrain from fishing for validation. If a million people tells you what “they would’ve done” how well does that average in if it’s not what you did, or what you wanted to do. Be responsible for your OWN actions, feelings and situations.. 

I bet you thought I was going to mention keeping people out your business to avoid risk of gossip… That’d be worrying about the wrong thing. The truth is the truth, is the truth. If you’re afraid for the truth to be broadcasted… Then change to the variables so that your truth is transparent.. 

I DO hope this reached someone in time. I hope that someone could take away one if not all the points I attempted to convey. 

With my best intentions… 

Sincerely, Guru. 

You’re Hired.

Relationships are like heading up the ultimate corporation. Picking the right mate could be the difference between a mom and pop diner && Ruth’s Chris.. Its quite simple, if you would NOT give your partner a high position in your business then you shouldn’t even consider giving them a high position in your LIFE… Also as with any job you shouldn’t have to dread having it or feel like its the only thing you can get right now.. Are you following my metaphor?? 

Many times we as people practice patience at the wrong times. In actuality its the beginning of what we know as settling. Engraving the thought in ones mind that they’ll soon be ready, but soon is never soon enough. 

I feel… that people with standards think they’re too high. But I must say that having high standards and having reasonable standards are two different things. For instance, a high standard would be wanting a successful man with most of his life in line with no baggage or kids. That’s HIGH, but its feasible. An unreasonable standard would be ONLY wanting a superstar.. an athlete.. its possible, as most things in life are, BUT its a slim chance to any that you can go grocery shopping and find one. 

Words of Wisdom: Do some self evaluating. YOU shall do well to know your worth and never be afraid of standards. It what will make your relationship unique. Its what will make your spouse a good spouse for you. Perfect even.
