IT TAKES 21 DAYS FOR YOU TO CREATE A GOOD HABIT The definition of the word HABIT is a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously. How does something become a habit? Consistency is a word that you must learn in order for you to make something become a habit. As the new year approaches we all have goals we want to reach. Millions of people around the world make New Year's resolutions every year. But by February those new year's resolutions

Where are you going? Which direction is your career headed in? Is your life and your career thriving? Ask yourself those above questions whenever you think that your current position is your final destination. It's very hard to start a blog or business and think it's going to thrive within 3-6 months (don't play yourself). So what do you do when things don't take off in the time frame that you imagined? Let me know if any of these below ring a bell. 1) GIVE UP. 2) Compare you

"Excuses are like a**holes, everybody has one." - Someone smart The above quote might register with a lot of people I know. I know for sure it registers with me. We all get lazy sometimes and when it's time to start something we reach in our bag of excuses and pull out the first one we can find. "It's raining out so I'll start tomorrow." "I'll start my diet on the first of the month this monday." "I can't look for clients on social media because my phone is broke." We can get

Summer is here and the planned holidays are right around the corner. People are packing their things getting ready to go to Ibiza, Greece, or maybe even Miami. Or maybe you're sitting at home waiting for a music festival to come your way so you and your friends can make a weekend out of it. You've been so focused in the last couple months in all aspects of your life. You've been in the gym working on your physical health. You've been reading self-help books to keep your menta

Back in 2003 I was watching the BET awards and rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson won an award for best new artist. He walked up to the podium after he won his award and thanked a couple of people. With a serious face he finished his speech with... "I'm gonna be honest with ya'll, I wanna thank me." At that moment a lot of people in the room probably looked at him as a really cocky individual. I, on the other hand didn't see anything wrong with it. Why can't a man who works as h

You ever been away from your mother for a long time and when you finally see her she gives you a big hug and squeezes you. When she hugs you a deep sigh of relief just leaves your body. Whatever you’ve been going through in life doesn’t really matter at that moment because the power of that hug from a loved one makes you focus on the love and positive energy that just came your way. I’m a big believer of positive energy and search for it on a daily basis. Sometimes it might b

We all want to be perfect in everything we do. Whether you're an artist who has been trying to sell their work for years or you're a singer who for years has been trying to get a record contract but haven't had any luck. We must know that at some point in your adult life you will fail at something. One of the greatest quotes about failure that I've ever heard is "FAIL HARD AND FAIL FAST" (I would credit the person but my mind is drawing a blank lol). What does that quote mean

Around Christmas time I had an opportunity to read a wonderful book called KNOWN:The handbook for building and unleashing your personal brand in the digital age by Mark W. Schaefer. Mark is an author of six books that mostly talk about the new era of social media. In his books he helps people who have little knowledge of understanding social media and transforms their knowledge on the topic. His book KNOWN is the only book of his that I have read so far and in my opinion by f

I was on twitter last week and I read a tweet from INC magazine saying "the world's most successful people start their day at 4am." Then I saw one of my favorite authors J.K Rowling retweet and reply "oh, piss off." I laughed at first then really thought about it when I read the responses of people on twitter. So are really saying that you have to get up at 4am to be as successful as Bill Gates or Warren Buffet? If they are I think that's not realistic and it puts a lot of pr

You ever heard the phrase WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES ANOTHER ONE OPENS? I'm sure every time you hear it you just want to roll your eyes. The truth about the phrase is that it is 100% accurate. We as humans don't handle rejection very well, and I really don't know a specific way to tell you how to handle any rejection that comes your way. What I can tell you not to do when you get rejected is to walk in a room, shut the door and close yourself off from the rest of the world. Some of

In the dictionary the definition of success is THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO. Success really is that easy when you think about it. What is your success? Is it trying to lose 30 pounds in a certain time frame? Are you trying to get that big promotion at work? Or maybe achieve a certain level of financial success in life. In today's society we look at other successful people in our fields and try to compare ourselves to them. THIS MY FRIENDS IS A

I was watching one of my favorite financial gurus online who goes by the name of Grant Cardone. He had a short video on 6 reasons why New Years resolutions don't work. I have never made a New Years resolution because I just never thought it was important. There is a statistic out there that says 80% of New Years resolutions fail by February. I truly believe this because most people have problems with consistency and planning. So when I scrolled through youtube and watched the

A lot of my readers might be wondering why I wrote this new book. I came up with an idea years ago that I wanted to write a series of books that take place in the city I was raised in. I've lived all over the world and Boston is still the most unique city that I've lived in. The people, sports and culture are just a couple of things that I love about the city. I really wouldn't want to be from anywhere else than this beautiful city. Most writers usually have a protagonist in

Being a detective in the city of Boston is no easy task, and with the crime rate sky high, law enforcement is the only hope of getting things back in order. One of the best detectives in the state is Thomas Kent, a hard-nosed, by the book type, who doesn’t bend the rules for anyone. With the help of his department, he has taken down some of the biggest criminals in the city, and has also made a lot of enemies as well. For years he has battled with the biggest drug kingpin in
