I've always said that my trolling on Twitter pays off, it always has and Thank God it always will. From the moment I joined the social media 'big dawg' as I like to call it, every tweet I sent/resent, every new follower I gained as well as every follow I clicked allowed me some form of jewel to move on and move up. Don't get me wrong, I troll all forms of social media I'm attached to and just like on Twitter my trolling gives me access to shiny jewels that help me and my business grow. This time, trolling on Twitter lead me to Vocal and just like any opportunity that's been offered to me in the past, I'm jumping on this! Like one of my favorite comedians says, "you can't turn down nothing but your collar!"

I'll write about the creepy little hotel in the center of town., and the weird front desk clerk that worked there for years. I'll write about, how when I was a kid I'd see tourists come in with cars loaded down with luggage, and how the people in the cars looked just as tired as the cars they drove. It will be a cinch. I would put it up for Pre-Order on Amazon!

Aaron DennisPublished 7 years ago in JournalHow to Get What You Want
One of the central themes in a vast majority of business books, either explicit or implicit, is the idea of getting others to do what you want. Of course on paper that has a negative connotation and even comes across as manipulative. However, within the context of these suggestions, it is neither. In fact, people by nature have a burning desire to help. Unfortunately, most of us haven’t the slightest idea on how to coax that out of our fellow man in a productive and positive manner.

Harvard isn't worth the money. "The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." – Dr. Seuss. The corporate world, Wall Street, and the complex weave of today's global corporate culture require an education far beyond what the great business schools and universities presently offer.
