Go Far And Beyond

Lets do some real talk for a second, "go far" means to be successful or to achieve much. 'beyond' means here outside the limits or scope. Have you ever been passed over for a promotion that you knew in the depths of your soul you had earned?

The thing is, you might be the best person in your company at doing exactly what you are required to do, but if you aren't going above and beyond your basic job requirements (and getting noticed doing it) then chances are you are going to stay exactly where you are while getting paid almost exactly what you are currently making.

Good ideas are worth about as much as the white boards they're written on during brainstorm sessions. In fact, they're worth less. Whiteboards are kind of expensive. Have you ever sat in a meeting where everyone pats each other on the back about the great idea they're coming up with, only to leave the meeting and not see a single one of them implemented? A brainstorm is a dust flurry if no one does anything after. Take one idea from every meeting you're in, build a workable plan around it, and take it to your supervisor to ask permission to take charge on it.

Sure, management wants people who are personable and a joy to work with, but at the end of the day they want someone who knows how to move the needle. If you know what moves said needle, you're ahead of the game. Learn the big picture. If you work for a shipping company moving boxes from the belt to the truck, know how a quarter turn and pivot instead of a full turn reduces your single box load time by a full second.

This is one of the simplest things you can do in an office, and it is so important. Be the person who offers to help, not the person who always asks for it. Sure, ask for help when you need it. There's no shame in that. But when you hear someone complaining about being overloaded with an impending deadline, offer to help – even if you don't know their job. Offer to take their menial tasks off their hands until they finish. Don't just offer to help management. Offer to help everyone.

Grow Your Marketing Knowledge


Looking for new ways to expand your business's success? Then look no future. We are here to better serve you. Just about any business can really thrive if it is properly promoted.

What is knowledge in a business? Using knowledge in your business isn't necessarily about thinking up clever new products and services, or devising ingenious new ways of getting noticed. All businesses have access to an extensive pool of knowledge - whether this is their understanding of customers' needs and the business environment or the skills and experience of staff.

This guide explains the basic sources of knowledge available to your business, how you can best harness and exploit this information and how to create a knowledge strategy for your business. The way a business gathers, shares and exploits this knowledge can be central to its ability to develop successfully.

Kat Stacks Gets Beat And Spit On

(The Wrap-Up Magazine) It appears that former industry groupie Kat Stacks is back under the wing of an abusive man, as was evidenced by a video that has surfaced of her being battered and spit on in the passenger seat of, what some speculate to be, a pimp, which she denies and says is her ex-boyfriend.  In the 12-second clip Kat is grabbed and yanked around by her hair as she apologizes and asks for the unidentified man to stop, before he spits in her face and tells her "stop playing with me stupid h-e!"

Stacks, whose given name is Andrea Herrera, is known for her rough upbringing; having been received by a life of prostitution and human trafficking after running away from home at the age of 14.  She would eventually make a name for herself as the source of several sex-tapes and for telling of her various sexual exploits with rap stars and other celebrities through social media.  She is also the victim of assault on numerous recordings that have traveled the web.

Despite the chances of her past implicating that this was an incident involving a pimp, Stacks has actually denied such to be true, taking to Twitter on Monday [June 20] to claim, "I'm too old to have a Pimp. What I look like selling pussy and giving my money to a nigga so he can take me shopping with my own money."

"Obviously I didn't hit him back because I didn't want him to crash the car and try to kill me like he had in the past," she explained about her response to being roughed up.  "He likes to speed the car and say "I'll kill both of us.  This isn't the first time he has done it, but it's the first time Hot97 picked up on it."

What's Your Motive

All you need is a Motive in life to achieve what ever goal it is you want. From the smallest of goals to the largest of dreams, anything can be achieved if you possess the desire to achieve it.

For musicians, a motive is a theme that is repeated or elaborated in a piece of music. Motive means an incentive to act; a reason for doing something; anything that prompted a choice of action. So whats your move?

Everyone hits a slump in their professional life at some point. And if you frequently work alone, getting noticed is even tougher. Motivation is essential to achieve any type of success weather it’s in business, health and fitness, relationships or entertaining.

T.I.'s Daughter Arrested

(The Wrap-Up Magazine) T.I.'s step daughter was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta on Thursday night [June 16], when she was busted trying to bring an unlicensed gun through security. 20-year-old Zonnique Pullins, who is the daughter of T.I.'s wife Tameka "Tiny" Harris, was stopped at a TSA checkpoint, where an x-ray machine picked up a .380 Ruger pistol among her possessions. She would be transported to Clayton County Jail where she was formally placed under arrest.

While Pullins was detained at around 10 p.m., the status of the gun remained pending as she told authorities that she had a permit. It was when she could not provide it on the spot that she was taken in and it later verified that she in fact did not have paperwork on the weapon. Along with the firearm police confiscated a clip with five rounds of ammunition. She would be released at 2:09 a.m. on Friday morning. She faces a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in an unauthorized area.

Pullins' arrest draws reminiscence to that of her step-father's in 2007, when T.I. was locked up for attempting to illegally purchase an assortment of machine guns hours before he was scheduled to appear at the BET awards. He would would plead guilty to federal weapons charges and serve a year of house arrest.
