Investing in Professionalism at Your Small Business
More than 28 million small businesses are operating in our country right now. All of those business owners wake up in the morning with their hands already full. They face huge challenges as they attempt to compete with their peers and with massive corporations. Margins can be thin, and hours can be long. But small businesses represent the American dream. They matter, and so do their owners.

Character Traits
All my life I’ve been an entrepreneur and a go getter. I make it happen. I had one thing that I never thought I’d complete. I’ve always told people I’m writing a book. Year after year, I told people that but never had a title or a beginning or an ending. Not long ago, I did publish an autobiography called Emotional Hustler. I had been holding onto this book for over 20 years.

How to Get Ahead in the Job Interview Jungle
If I had a dollar for every time I called my poor mother to say, “I don’t know why no one will f*cking hire me,” I’d never have to walk into another interview again. When I lived in Daytona Beach, I ran out of jobs within a 50 mile radius to apply for on Indeed. I wouldn’t get calls back, I wouldn’t get contacted after interviews, and I felt like I was left for dead. I’d sit in front of my computer for hours tinkering with my resume and cover letter thinking THAT was going to be what got me the next job. Upon moving to Mississippi, I prepared myself for the struggle of the job hunt …Again. I spent days emailing companies, and submitting application, after application, after application, after application to every position that seemed like it might pay enough to cover my student loan. Let me tell you, I finally hit the jackpot. I got a call back for a Human Resources Coordinator position that I literally didn’t even remember applying for; five interviews later, I got the job.

The Syracuse Rideshare Delivery Logs (Pt. 1)
Syracuse, New York. Home to roughly 900,000 human lives as of 2019. Home. That is, in my case, the starting line. I don't intend to stay, as few people do when they get older and realize how much more there is just over the horizon. "Salt City," they used to call it, for its historical significance as a salt mining town amidst the industrial revolution, with the Erie Canal and railway networks lain here weaving the modern State of New York together.

Do You Know What You Don't Know?
Are you honest enough to admit to yourself that you don't know what you don't know? Be honest. I work with a number of investors and the statement I hear most often is; far too many aspiring entrepreneurs fail to get their business off the ground because they are not adequately prepared to secure funding.

10 Mistakes to Avoid When Investing in Cannabis Stocks
Investing your money isn't as cut and dry as it might seem to novice traders. Investment gurus like Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham didn't accumulate their vast fortunes from the stock market by simply playing eeny, meeney, miney, moe—they used tried and true methods that were developed over time.
