A Little Lot

THE MUD

Is it better to have a little bit of a movement going a lot of a movement going or none of the movement going? Some of you may wonder what the heck am I talking about by movement I mean taking action. Taking action will always be the better answer to any question of what should I do with my future. There are a lot of people who wish hope pray that's something great will happen. Although, it is great to wish and dream and plan out a blueprint of things. If you don't figure out what is the first thing you need to do then you really truly will be stuck in the mud of failure. There was nothing wrong with starting from the bottom and dreaming your way to the top as long as you're able to put in the work. I myself and not in the bottom getting it out the mud I literally feel like I'm in the mantle of the earth hoping and praying that this next thing that I do will work out. It takes a lot of work to be successful. It takes a lot of ups and downs trials and tribulations plus failures. So please don't be sad or discouraged when your success does not happen overnight. You must realize that you have to make a plan and with each plan you have to have steps to get to certain levels within your goal.

Planning 

Planning, we all know that it is essential when you're starting a new business or a life goal to plan. So the question is, how do you plan to get out of the mud by starting your first step. Well the simple answer is you won't get out the mud with your first step however, you will be humbled and powered if you allow yourself to be open to the universe. Getting it out the mud isn't a little roof phrase that has to do with walking away from mud puddles. Nor is it a phrase that has to do with starting from the bottom and instantaneously making it to the top. No, getting out the mud means starting with nothing and having humble beginnings but using that to empower you to become successful. It doesn't matter if you live in your car and you're doing your home business from a van like Janelle Elena on YouTube. Or you're literally making a life-changing Sacrifice by joining your family's wine business and everyday working your behind off to make their business become successful. Then you decide to give that up to start a new branding routine and make YouTube videos everyday about wine like Gary vaynerchuk. You could be someone who is striving to become a college graduate by living in the basement of your friend's house and working two jobs all while going to school. Or you could be making a podcast in your bedroom while living on public housing. Those things really don't matter in the long run , right. WRONG, when you're building something a foundation or an ark if you will starting from the bottom and grinding it from wherever you are allows you to stay 10 toes down and humble, but it also becomes your testimony and your Testament to who you really are as a person. Not many people have the ability to stay with one thing or do what they said they wanted to do with their life. So it is a very special thing when someone not only does what they say they're going to do with their life so they can be happy, but also decides to do it their way no matter where they're starting from. You could be coming from an abusive relationship or a divorce or even a single mother who works one job while still coming home taking care of the kids and stays up late like making stuff to send it to customers who buy from her on Let It Go or eBay. When you have a dream you do what it takes to get there in the best way that will make you feel comfortable and happy and will allow you to provide for yourself and your family.

Little 

Having a little bit and knowing that you have to work your behind off to get more is a lot more valuable in the long run. For one thing, it allows you to remember that your ambition is to be greater and bigger than just yourself. For another thing, it remind you that because you have so little you cannot afford to lose it. Also, coincidentally, you will remember that you are in charge of only what you can handle. You won't have time or materials to waste so it'll be better for you to think about everything twice as hard. When I think about having a little and starting from the bottom I ain't think about the saying measure twice and cut once. It may be an old proverb but it is a true one that means to be something that is a foundation for someone who is starting a great project with in their life.

A..Lot

When I think about this next part of this blog I think about two things More Money More Problems which was the basis of Biggie's notorious speech( wink-wink )😜. I am also reminded of the 21 Savage song a lot where 21 Savage says how much money you got a lot how many problems you got a lot. When you have more money or a better position in life it comes with a greater responsibility. More power means more responsibility. Is the opportunity to not only allow yourself to be great but to remember from what you came to God other people to be greater. I know that being in a position of power can be stressful or being in a position where you are more successful than what you were before can become overwhelming. It's kind of like having a job and then being promoted and it first you were rooting for yourself to get promoted, but then you fear that you might not be the one for the job. I assure you if you worked your behind off with your hardest might and greatest intentions as long as you stay 10 toes down and remember what your Journeys mission is you will be fine. It sometimes seems like it can be overwhelming trust me even making one step forward in the right direction can become a hindrance if you don't keep your mind works supposed to be. I say this because I recently started Weight Watchers and I lost 25 lbs but then I gained a few back because I forgot what I did to get me through that point. Now I'm at the point with my weight-loss journey and my business where I'm realizing what it takes to actually get there and I am re-calibrate my strategy to my journey. Is so important for us as individuals whether you're starting a business or just starting a brand that allows you to Market yourself in a way that could get you promotions and business later that you remember where you come from and what each step means to your success and groth.
