Life as a Superstore Associate
I have been working for this superstore for three months now and life can show you what a challenge is. People come from so many backgrounds and yet they all have the same thought because why not? "He/she is an store associate so he has to know everything about the store so we better ask him/her all of out questions we've got!" And that is what a challenge you have to surpass once you become an employee of a big corporate monster that is willing to do anything to make the costumer feel better about themselves but they forget that their workers are humans too, but that's okay: your paycheck is your reward.
Angel RuizPublished 6 years ago in JournalBook Editing Website Business
One of my business ideas is a website that people can edit books on. It would have a back office where you can log in. Then as an editor, you can edit a manuscript inside the back office using a program that allows for proofs with a track changes feature, like in Word 2017 or below. People would make money getting paid for their editing work done entirely online without a need to print anything. Authors have tendencies to procrastinate sometimes, in particular with regard to editing. Editing is what causes ferocious and serious procrastination tendencies. Publishing a book requires persistence, as well as writing talent, which reflects consistency.
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 6 years ago in JournalHow To Start a Business for Those on SSI
I have an idea for a turnkey website designed to help people start a business rapidly. It would help people on SSI and SSDI make money to get off those systems and live freely. It would be a massive collection of links to Nolo press as well as city websites everywhere in the United States for every major city. It would be functioning as part social network, part database. The website would help a business owner write a business plan using business plan template software. We would make every Nolo press paper or paperless contract available on the site. SSI could use this to promote the PASS Plan that gets people to plan ahead financial self-sufficiency.

I was taught young to take pride in my work, work with integrity, and be dependable and reliable. I'm an 80s baby and this was even a course in high school. They called it a business class and taught me how to speak, how to dress, how to have a good work ethic; they taught me that this is how you build security and grow in a company. Unsure if it is a grand scheme, but they conditioned me to believe that was it—no options. I stepped into the world believing I had to work for a company.

I've already taken the time to talk about my passion; writing books. But, I've also skimmed over a few other things, and I want to fully take the time to talk about everything else I want to do, because there's quite a bit more I want to do. For sure, a hundred percent my passion and albeit aspiring career to be is to be an author, but I also want to do more than that. What I love about writing, and what being a writer offers is that your time is your own. I choose how I want to spend my time, and I choose how much time I want to devote for work hours in a day. Which, let's be honest, we'd all love that.

Scientists are taught analyze. From the beginning of their education, scientists are encouraged to break apart a situation and identify the root causes. Historical data is reliable. Artists, on the other hand, are taught to synthesize. Artists are expected to rely on their imagination and originality is prized. Are disciples of one school of thought more successful than the other?

Why Your Black Business "Won't Survive"
Context As I write this piece, I reflect on what brought me to the south. I lived a privileged life in California, situated in the mecca of diversity, the San Francisco Bay Area. And we can say I still live that privileged life, seeing as I can go back anytime that I want to. I was well aware of the evils of poverty and de facto segregation that lends itself to the narrative “separate but never equal.” I knew the history of internment camps in the peninsula and race riots and the establishment of the Black Panthers in the east bay. Growing up we learned about the racist Jim Crow like laws forced upon the Chinese, and we learned about the Chicano movements of Southern California. I was surrounded by whites, Asians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, few blacks, and an increasing population of Middle Easterners. And I got to be at the center of the Pride movement every single year. And I grew up with the notion that the south was evil, racist, and not somewhere I wanted to go.

My name is Monika. I'm a stay-at-home mama who lives in Kansas. I have this at-home job to help bring in some extra income and keep me busy while my kids are at school until they get home! :) I got into selling candles because I myself LOVE candles or anything that smells good, and I'm more than sure a lot of others do too! The smell of them is so amazing, certain oils you get can be so calming. Soooo here we go!!!

This is chronicling the jobs that I acquired growing up and stories about them from my perspective. In each chapter there is a brief synopsis of what the job entailed and what was expected. The stories following the synopsis are just some stories of what happened while I was employed there, good, bad, and ugly. Some are funny and some are just plain “what the hell”.
