Bargain Shopping By Mel

 
I know a lot of clones who try to keep up with the Jones will spend any amount of money to impress the next person.  Their priorities are out of order because their mental capacity is program from the media on the latest trends in fashion to their favorite celebrity tattoos or if they have the same immaculate vehicle that Jay-Z is driving thinking maybe they can attract their own Queen B.   Just by observing their outside appearance alone can be deceiving.  When you spend more than you can save your financial freedom is in jeopardy.  However, brothers don’t understand the difference between “Short-term attractions” versus “Long-term attractions.”  Here are a few examples,

·        Short-term attraction:  2015 BMW 428i Convertible, immaculate vehicle with a whopping car note along with full coverage insurance, vehicle cost $48,750.  Will attract beautiful superficial females who want more than just a ride but also a full dining meal on a regular basis, which puts you further in debt and added pressure to spend more of your hard earn money just to keep them.

VS

·        Long-term attraction:  2005 Acura TL fully loaded for only $7,000 or even less at a car auction.  Trusty mechanic already confirm its reliable transportation.   No need to finance because you have enough money to purchase this vehicle at wholesale value.  No car note with decent insurance.  Will still attract beautiful superficial females as well as independent women who are not after your pockets.


·        Short-term attraction:  Your favorite rapper Little Wayne’s tattoo is place on his chin.  You think it is a great idea to get a dragon tattoo on your chin which will make you stand out.  Fitting image to display in a bar scene or the club environment.  A few people within your circle or those who look up to you may get a tattoo place on their chin courtesy of Little Wayne.  To make matters worse you’re not able to get the dream job you want base on your tattoo.

VS

·        Long-term attraction:  You want a tattoo with substance, a deep meaning to express yourself not because some famous celebrity has one.  You did some research on the tattoo you desire and since you go to the gym on a consistent basis it makes sense to place it on your muscular arm.  This elevates your confidence as well as your physical attraction among women and furthermore if your dream job is strictly professional no worries just throw on a long sleeve shirt.


In order to become a producer you have to save and strategize on how you spend your money to reach your goal.  You can still look presentable without going overboard with your funds; you can still maintain transportation with a decent looking vehicle.  Instead of going to the mall you can shop online to get discounts on the same items.  You can maintain a reasonable quality of life economically and still look good.

Self-Reflect and Accept Change By Mel

I NEVER understand why people are so desperate to get into a relationship without focusing on themselves.   Cuffing season has become the new norm in today's dating age and no wonder why there are so many incomplete relationships.   Shortcomings are bound to happen when you put in shortcoming efforts which equals shortcoming results...it's not rocket science.  When people market themselves in a particular way by showing their romantic side or being independent it is completely opposite when they are in a relationship.  For example, they unleash their bag of unlucky charms which cursed them from their last relationship hoping that their significant other will accept them.  Nine out of 10 that rarely happens and I will explain why.  Deceitful people brush their advertising promos underneath the rug and show who they truly are with nasty characteristic traits like clinginess, non-trustworthy ways and possessiveness.  By not practicing what you ...

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

  Life is full surprises.   When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you.   That oil to your engine is confidence .   Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life.   That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why.   The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura.   It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you.   We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory.   For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo.   Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share som...

No Love in the Club The 90/10 Rule By Vaughn James

If you’re in your mid 30’s or just turned 40, you shouldn’t be in the club every weekend. Guys, you seriously don’t want to be the sleazy old man in the club. And ladies, you shouldn’t be out getting your drink on, leaving your fourteen year old teenager to watch your younger kids. The fact is, even when we were all young, the chances that men and women could find a meaning full relationship in a club was next to zero, but closer to 5%. “Wait a minute”, you may ask, “how can that be quantified?” I’ll explain. Simply, when we go out to the clubs, 90% of the men are trying to get with 10% of the women and 90% of the women are trying to get with 10% of the men. So, the likelihood that there will be any kind of real hookup is 5%, half of 10%. Besides, the club is a terrible place to meet someone. They are overly hyped by the radio station and promoters, who make it seem like your life will end if you don’t go to their club Friday and Saturday nights. Additionally, the mixed alco...
