Use Time or Lose Time



“Primetime. Basking in the line. Cassius in his prime. Coloring out of the line. ‘Cause they don’t want nobody that’s colored out of the line, so I’m late as a...Colored People Time.” -Kanye West

Boy I tell you. If being late was a crime, I would have served a few years. 

And it’s an awful look. 

Yes, I know there is a lie some people believe that it looks cool to show-up late.

Pro Tips:


If attending a networking event, show up 30-minutes early. 

Why Not? 

You can scope the place. Get a bit comfortable. If it’s a Happy Hour, converse with the bartender. Create that connection and now you’re the liaison between others when they arrive. 

Wow, I need to do this myself. You can gather more information about the theme of the event.

You’re putting yourself in position to meet more people i.e. the point of networking!


Same rules apply to a party. 

By knowing all the details for the party, when guests arrive you’re the “Best Guest” because the host is probably running around like a chicken with its head cut-off and you’re able to help make things run smoother.


CP Time= Colored People Time but I’ve got a newbie…It means “Cost Profit” time. 

The difference between losing money and making money is seconds, minutes, hours. 

Just check the Stock Market. Think about who gets promoted at work. 

No one who's late. 

Every second you’re late, is one less dollar you make. 

“ ‘cause my seconds, minutes, hours, go to the almighty dollar and the almighty power…”-Lil Wayne 

Punctuality is essential to success. I repeat.

“Use time or lose time.”

Disagree? Think being early/late/on-time doesn’t matter DM me and tell me why.



Sir Aimézing out.

"Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve”

“Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve” - Napoleon Hill Have you ever read Think and Grow Rich ?  I strongly recommend it. It’s not my favorite book by Hill, but it will change your life...forever.  This is about having a Positive Mental Attitude. Success and progress towards achieving your goals in life begin with knowing where you are going.  Your mental attitude gives power to EVERYTHING YOU DO.   If your attitude is positive, your actions and thoughts further your ends.  If your attitude is negative, you are constantly undermining your own efforts.  Every adversity, every failure, and every unpleasant experience carries with it the seed of an equivalent benefit which may prove to be a blessing in disguise.  All of our successes and failures are results of habits we have formed.   Success attracts success and failure attracts more failure. Your mental attitude is the onl...

Be Radically Open-minded and Radically Transparent

“Be radically open-minded and radically transparent. None of us is born knowing what is true; we either have to discover what’s true for ourselves or believe and follow others. The key is to know which path will yield better results. I believe that: Radical open-mindedness and radical transparency are invaluable for rapid learning and effective change.” - Ray Dalio Greatest thing I learned from reading Principles by Dalio. He is a billionaire investor. And his breakdown of this, really impacted me.  Part of having a strong personality is being flexible.  Someone who can SHIFT gears when necessary.  People appreciate someone who understands and is selfless enough to do things differently.  Think about it.  When it comes to dinners, parties, events who gets invited first?   The person who is least high maintenance.  Those who don’t demand much, but are always open to having a good time and embrace the adv...

“We’re Still The Kids We Used to Be...”

Image
“We’re still the kids we used to be...I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed, ‘cause nothing hurts anymore and I feel kind of free…” Did you ever draw a picture as a small child? And then show it to mom or dad, and they “gassed” it and said it was nice. How did you feel? It was a stick figure with crayons or markers all over the place, some misspelled words and sun.  If you showed it to your teachers, did they blow you off? Or did they engage, ask questions and let you explain what you created?  That’s what it means to show interest in others. We all are still little kids in our core.  Drawing stick figure pictures with our houses, cars, clothes, businesses. Talking with someone about a passion is the adult version of, ‘Show & Tell.’   Sometimes we need to watch the show. Yes, this can come at a price. I’ve been the victim of being the respectful young person who gets caught in a conversation that extends way past the simple, “H...
