“Job security” is a myth. We saw that in 2008 and we’re seeing that right now. You can spend a long period of time feeling ‘safe’ only to have the rug pulled from underneath you and experience a cascading effect of negative scenarios. You can go from having a nice stable job, living paycheck to […]

I’m probably the 193,921,285,537th person who has written about how to be successful. I love the topic.

I don’t work that hard at all, I really don’t. But I bet I’m more productive than you. You spend more literal hours working than me, but I get more important things done than you. I’m absent-minded, disorganized, and keeping my apartment clean is like pulling teeth, but because I’m sure of who I am […]

Ah, the creative. You little neurotic creature you. I can hear the gears in your head turning right now my goodness. You have all these ideas in your head, but sometimes you struggle getting the ideas across. All the creativity is there! That’s why you’re annoyed. Why can’t you just put your stuff out there […]

Let’s just call a spade a spade. Many people in our society are just soft. They don’t like working hard and want everything handed to them. And they have a litany of false excuses. The idea of there being no upward mobility is insane.  You have the internet. The great equalizer. The ultimate tool for […]

Want to know the real reason my writing comes across as authentic? It’s not because I have a deep need to be or feel authentic. I just say things the way they are because that seems to make the most sense to me out of all available options. Also, it does neither of us any […]
