Live Life to the Fullest

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

- Steve Jobs’ Stanford Commencement Address

Rest in Peace, Steve. You will be greatly missed.

2Pac: Lost Prison Interview (1995)

I recently stumbled across a three part interview with rapper Tupac while he served jail time back in 1995. The thing that I love about Tupac is his passion and conviction for the music he makes and the message he wants to spread. He thought of himself as an ambassador, a representative of the black community who was on a mission to educate the world on what it meant to be to grow up as a young black kid in the ghetto in the United States. In this interview, he candidly shares his thoughts and views on a wide range of topics as well as delving into the meaning of the lyrics to some of his songs.

Leveraging Scarcity To Your Advantage

Think about rare or exclusive things, either that you own, or that you would like to own. What is it about them that makes them attractive? Is it the fact that they are of high quality or a luxury brand? The truth is, those are more givens than anything else. The real reason may be in fact, because, it is a hard to get item. At least thats what the marketing would have you believe. It may be a limited edition, or 1 of 100 produced, or something to that effect.

Are You Business Minded?

Many people start businesses as a way to get away from being told what to do, only to find out that they need to tell themselves what to do. Others start businesses because they feel they can earn more by having their own practice, yet struggle with day to day operations and managing an office as well as selling work and researching prospective clients. And yet, others start businesses not because they want to be in business, but because they want to do something that they enjoy doing. They may enjoy what they do, but have a hard time paying the bills and keeping the business going.
