Quote of the Day The mark of greatness is when everything before you is obsolete and everything after you bears the mark - Dave Chappelle   Being an entrepreneur nothing before you knows what you are having because your perspective and outlook of the world is different. You already have an imprint, but you are unique. So, nobody is trying exactly what you are trying to do. And since this is true, you have to understand that after you… the people who follow you will be bearing a mark. So you are trailblazing, you're creating a path for so many other people. Since you are creating a path, I just need you iron that and know that and continue to go hard and never give up. Because when you never give up, you see results and you bear fruit. You grow a tree and people can eat fruit from that three.     Topic of the Day Chappelle Theory   Dave Chappelle declined a $50 million offer of a network to go to South Africa.

Episode #242   Quote of the Day: We are all Creative Beings- Maya Fiennes   If we are all creative being, why are we not creating. If you are doing something you don't like doing like sitting in a cubicle, sitting in a job, you are not creating. You are not fulfilled, you are not doing what you love to do. Think about that? If we are put on earth, meant to create, then why are more people not creating? Cause they are scared! They are scared to go after that. You got to stop being scared, you got to playing fear! Stop being fearful to take the job or the lift or whatever it is. Stop this! There is never a perfect time and if there is no perfect time, then you just got to go! You have to go create! Why do you think rapper and music artist will die broke, if they had to, just to create music? Because we are creative beings? Why do you think the homeless man or the man making $200 out of his artwork is fulfilled and happy because he is creative! He is happy! He is painting and that is what fulfills him.
