Time To Create Your Very Own Reality

People are often times mistaken to believe that they are arrested by circumstance and that they have no control over what happens to them in their lives.

People are often times mistaken to believe that they are arrested by circumstance and that they have no control over what happens to them in their lives. Not to go all spiritual on my readership but this is the furthest thing from the truth.

Your world consists of what you believe about yourself in your mind. It does NOT consist of what others believe about you, good or bad. It’s what you believe that matters and is where your mind combined with action will take you. If you believe that you can become a millionaire and you firmly believe this in your mind, your body will push to make this happen every day.

Conversely, if you believe that you are poor and broke and have terrible relationships, this is exactly what your mind will manifest for you over time. Your actions are driven strictly by the mind’s eye or what we refer to in Ausar Auset as the 3rd eye. It is not driven by outward appearances to the outer physical eye.

If you want 2010 to truly change for you, and I mean truly, you must begin to believe that you can change it for yourself. There is no job that will change it. You must step out on belief and create your own change for yourself. During the original Great Depression in 1929, the people that lasted were those who learned to create their own reality. The other folks become poor, destitute, and without any hope.

You can do it. You can change yourself. Start with action, today. Whatever you do, whatever you say, watch what you say to yourself each and every day. These are the most important words for you achieving and living in your own true glory.

WordPress Powered Sites Defeat Shockwave Flash

Wordpress theme based sites are fully search engine optimized for the Google Robot that scans sites for meta tags and keywords that a user enters to find stuff. If you want to be found on the Internet and build traffic, there is simply no other way to go.

Share

I have been developing WordPress powered theme sites for roughly a year now and testing it’s ability to drive traffic to sites. A friend of mine and top graphic designer from Oakland California also develops Macromedia Shockwave based web sites. I put a scope on both of these two site development tools to compare which ones actually build traffic and increase revenues. Here are the results:

Shockwave Flash: This development environment is awesome in terms of graphics and entertainment. The environment allows one to create multi-media based mini movies as embedded source and looks absolutely stunning. For visually entertaining websites that want to put high end graphics, motion video, motion animation, and other visually entertaining features on a site, nothing beats Macromedia Shockwave websites. If you want entertainment, you’ve got it. If you want traffic, you’ll never get it building a shockwave flash website.

WordPress theme based sites are fully search engine optimized for the Google Robot that scans sites for meta tags and keywords that a user enters to find stuff. If you want to be found on the Internet and build traffic, there is simply no other way to go. You may not get all the flash animation from these themes, however, you will generate organic google traffic which increases the chance for sales.

In my research, Shockwave is NOT the way to go if you want traffic and web visitors. Because of it’s small size and embedded source in a *.swf file, the Google Robot will never see your shockwave site and rush right over it. This means you will never get traffic unless you pay big money for it using pay per click advertising.

I often ask my clients what are you after and what is your strategy of your website? The answer to this question will guide how you want your site to be built and how you want it to perform. Contact us to get started building your WordPress themed SEO powered, and traffic designed website today.

Unhappy During These Holidays? Do This NOW!

Struggling during this holiday season with being unhappy? It’s okay and I understand. In order to get through struggles and unhappiness, you must get moving and move the body right NOW. There is absolutely nothing better for the body and unhappiness than to MOVE and GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!

I don’t care what you’re doing and what gym you may not have the money for, go outside and work it out to relieve any type of stress during this Christmas and Kwanzaa season. Moving the body massively takes your mind off of stress and it releases endorphines in the body which make you feel better. I need you to do this every single day of your life for 21 days straight. This is not a New Year’s resolution. This is a daily commitment to improve your self esteem, your view of your life, and increase your relationship with yourself and God.

And when I say workout, I don’t mean a quick little 15 minute workout in front of the television. Go outside and walk for one solid hour or even two solid hours. You will be amazed at what the outside air will do for your mental state of being and your emotional health. I need everyone to be healthy now and forever until God takes you.

USC QB Matt Barkley Lifts Trojans Above Boston College Eagles

I spoke of how I felt he was the best and most ready NFL QB as a true freshman at USC.He proved it last night in the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco’s AT%20&T Park by lifting USC over Boston College 24-13.

Well, in another blog post of mine about this kid Matt Barkley of USC, I spoke of how I felt he was the best and most ready NFL QB as a true freshman at USC. He proved it last night in the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco’s ATT Park by lifting USC over Boston College 24-13. I evaluate talent at Nike Combines for college so I see many quarterbacks at an elite level. This kid has always impressed me since he was at Mater Dei in Southern California. I’ve seen talent at Concord DeLaSalle and at some elite high school football programs in Texas as well including L.D. Bell High School, Trinity High School, and Plano High. This kid stood above in my mind out of seeing quarterbacks at all of these programs.

Matt Barkley QB of USC

Yes, USC took a hit and started losing some games at the end of the season, however, Matt Barkley is pro football ready and will do well in the NFL in about 3 years provided he stays healthy. To show that type of poise in big games at 18 or 19 years of age is super incredible. And just for the record, I am NOT a USC fan. In fact, my friend was a tailback at USC and we went to the Cal Berkeley game together and I was NOT fond of USC fans at that game at all. Just for the record.

Here’s what I did and many, many people do when they wake up in the morning:

1). I got up at 6:30 a.m., jumped in the shower, dried off, brushed my teeth, and went outside to get the ice off of my car window. It was freezing outside and I had to scrub the ice off with an ice pick.

2). Didn’t even think about a morning newspaper which I used to read religiously just a mere 3 years ago. I jumped into my warm car and drove to the local coffee shop to grab a hazelnut coffee and hot chocolate.

3). My Sprint HTC Hero phone had buzzed 5 times, not from friends calling me at 6 a.m., but from Google Alerts that I have set up to monitor all of my clients and my websites.

4). I drive by the newspaper box that cost $1.00 for the Sunday paper and keep going. Who cares about a newspaper anymore and I can’t stand the fact that all that black ink used to always get all over my fingers and everywhere else. Newspapers are dead.

5). I sit in my car and read my alerts on my Sprint HTC Hero phone. I see the alerts and see interesting things about my clients so I click on them from my phone. I scroll through each one of my 5 alerts reading each and every article similar to the way I used to scan through a huge newspaper reading it and then recycling it in California.

In 3-5 years, the mobile phone will replace all print publishing including newspapers, magazines, and books. If your web site is not optimized for the mobile phone, it will crash most BlackBerry’s, iPhones, HTC phones, Android powered phones, and especially if people are on older phones on older networks such as the AT&T EDGE Network and older TREO phones and Verizon’s older network.

You cannot assume that everyone is on a new 3GS or 4G network and are seeing everything on your phone. Most people will see it on an older network and they will never come back to your site if it crashes their phone.

Lil Wayne 2009 Tour Broke Concert Records and Grossed $42 Million

There are war stories from artists in dealing with promoters who brought them out to a venue, they rocked the club or concert, and never got paid. There are more stories of this occurrence than not. So, in a shark eat shark world of concert promotions, how did Lil Wayne gross $42 Million in this economy?

Share

Behind the Scenes with Sports and Entertainment Financial Group
The concert promotion industry is very shady. In fact, back in the day hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest had one of the most prolific and well known verses in all of the hip hop “Industry Rule Number 4080, record company people are shady”. This main rule is really talking about concert promotions, club promoters, and anyone associated with bringing artists to a city.

There are war stories from artists in dealing with promoters who brought them out to a venue, they rocked the club or concert, and never got paid. There are more stories of this occurrence than not. So, in a shark eat shark world of concert promotions, how did Lil Wayne gross $42 Million in this economy? One team with a vision and rock solid performance – Sports Entertainment and Financial Group out of Philadelphia, PA. The company has a long history of success and financial management and is run and managed by two financial industry heavyweight champions, Shawn Gee and Charles “Tank” Harris.

Prior to this Mr. Gee worked for CitiGroup (NY) in its Private Client Division. The youngest VP in his sector, Mr. Gee firmly established a strong reputation as he managed a widely diversified portfolio of high net worth clientele, those of greater than $5 million in assets. He received his MBA, with a concentration in Finance and Investments, from George Washington University in 1997 and is a member of the National Black MBA Association.

Charles “Tank” Harris graduated from Temple University in 1995 with a BBA in Finance. Shortly after graduation, Mr. Harris took a position with Salomon Smith Barney as a Series 7 registered representative. After amassing over $100 million in client assets, he moved to UBS Financial Services in 2000. Realizing that the majority of his client base was athletes, Charles founded Athletic Business Management, Inc. in 2001, with the intent of addressing the varied business and financial needs of his unique client base. Charles currently resides in Cherry Hill, NJ with his wife Dana and their five daughters.

The Sports and Entertainment Financial Group is the industry leader in providing full service business management solutions to their client base. SEFG is staffed with professionals with expertise in various areas of finance and accounting as well as highly trained customer service professionals.
