Hello Everyone,

I thought I’d takg-wagone some time today just to talk about how I started Let’s Go Buy A Car and some of the obstacle of being a Business Owner. I know there are sooo many of you all that want to “quit that job” and have no idea how you can make it without “that job”!  I was there too, for so many years! I’ve always wanted to own a business and work for myself, but FEAR of that “paycheck” kept me from moving forward.   But once I was sick and tired, of being sick and tired of “that job” I realized, I was smart, I was tactful, I had lots of hustle, and I was not AFRAID!  What’s the worst thing that could happen? Failure?  But if I didn’t try, I’d never know if I could do it or not.  I knew that on “that job”, I gave 199% of me, and that was for someone else!  If I could give someone else MY 199%, I could give ME 500%!  And that’s what I did! I was a Mom and raised 3 amazing kids on my own, and no “job” could ever be as challenging as that!  So what did I have to lose?   Make sure you follow and keep up with the blog.  Some of my challenges and rewards could possibly help you “get started” to being your own Boss!

I’ll be giving you all tips on the career path in the blogs. So make sure you follow and keep up. And if you are trying to launch a business, just do it!! Don’t keep waiting! Tomorrow isn’t promised, so don’t die and bury your dream!

More coming….

Lately I’ve had to ask myself over and over again.. what is my dream for me? And I can’t seem to come up with an answer.  Does anyone else feel that way?  Do you all realize that our dreams were for our children?  Our dreams were for the future of our children and we never made dreams for ourselves.  My whole life revolved around making their dreams come true.  Not once did I ever dream of what I wanted.  Now that I’m in a position to truly try to live my dreams, I don’t know what they are.  The dreams that I had, aren’t as meaningful now because the kids are adults, and the things I wished for them, are almost complete.  So now I’m on a “make a dream list” for me.  And I think you all should think of that too.  Think of what it is you would dream of for yourself.  Write it down, and then you’ll have a goal to work toward.  We have to live life for more than working for the pleasure of others.  I know I’m a fine one to talk, because that’s what makes me happy, but it doesn’t complete me.  So all my Baby Boomers.. we are over the 50 mark, and we have to live out our dreams now!  What’s your dream?

Love and Hugs,

As Parents, “Did We Forget Our Dream?”

college, credit, daymond john, dreams, motivation, shark tank, the power of broke, working

IMG_5936I went to a Daymond John Seminar last week and learned a lot. I purchased Daymond’s book, “The Power of Broke” and also learned a lot more. I’m not going into the methods of entrepreneurship in this blog because I want you all to know where this seminar took me after 52 years of living. I’ve lived and amazing life. I’ve had lots of highs, and I’ve had lots of lows. They have all taught me valuable lessons of life. But this one lesson I’d like to share with the younger generation that I just didn’t get. I want you all to get it before you all get my age and look back and say.. dang… I didn’t even get it. So here it is.. And it’s free!!

When my Mom died, I was immediately responsible for our house. I was cooking, helping Daddy, and taking on the cooking duties and all those “missing Mommie” duties. After school, Military, then kids. So there was no time for me to live out any dreams of mine. Really I didn’t have any dreams because they all died with my Mom. I didn’t know anyone who lived a great life or anyone that was a Mentor who I could mimic and grow to be like in a small town. I didn’t know “rich” people. My Uncle in Jersey was “rich” to me. He was the one who showed me a different way of life. I then had “dreams” for “my children”. Hear what I say.. “my children”, not me. I made sure I took them to the million dollar neighborhoods to show them where they could live. Made sure they knew about all the luxury cars “they” could have, and the lifestyle “they” could live. I took them on shopping sprees and vacations to show them how “they” could live. I went to college so “they” could go.

Do y’all see where I’m going with this? I lived my life so “they” could live “their” dreams. I didn’t have dreams. My dreams died when my Mom died. I didn’t have any dreams. I never saw myself living “that” life because I was too busy trying to build it for my children. I was too busy working my ass off to enjoy my life, but I made sure “they” would enjoy theirs.

This is what “we” aren’t taught in the rural communities. We aren’t taught wealth. We aren’t taught credit. We weren’t taught investing. We were taught to work, and to take care of everyone else. Then we get 52 and realize. OH YEAH. now I got it. But the good thing about it, I did make sure my children have it. Now it’s time for me to create a dream and try to live it. It’s never too late to live a dream. So if you don’t have one, if you don’t have a goal, get at least one. Aim for that one, and once you reach it, create another one and keep going!

As Always…I’m Back!

Everything ain’t for Everybody

25 Sunday Jan 2015

dreams, family, Love, money, struggles

As I look at Social Media and see everyone posti2015/01/img_4651.pngng their accomplishment, certificates, lifestyles, trips, homes, cars, beautiful children, wonderful marriages, and successful businesses, a sense of happiness fulfills me, and there’s a little voice inside me saying, “they did that!” Even if I don’t know that person, I still click on that like button because in life, I love to see people live their lives and succeed.  It means that they’ve been thru that storm, and they made it out!! But on the other hand, you get the other people that ain’t happy about anyone doing anything!  They don’t like what you’re doing, they’re jealous about what other people have, and they have that misery in their life that doesn’t allow them to be happy.  Guess what? Eveythang ain’t for everybody.  They still have that storm to go thru before they get to their rainbow.  Realize that in order to get thru the storm, you may need to see what’s on the other side of the storm. You may need to have a goal to reach.  You may need to see what it looks like from an airplane flying over the Swiss Alps, or what a S63 Mercedes Benz looks like, or what a designer loft looks like, or what name brand perfume you can buy, or what nice restaurants you can go to for dinner, or what island you can’t wait to get to!  Don’t look at someone’s accomplishments and hate on them, look at them and increase you dreams!! YOU can have ANYTHANG, yes anythang, your heart desires, but it takes WORK!  Ain’t nobody giving you nothing you don’t deserve!  So instead of not being happy for someone, send them a message and ask them, what did you do to get there? What can I do? Tell me about that, and congratulate them!  They did it and so can you! If it ain’t your time yet..Rush your time to get here!  Only YOU can make that happen!  How do I know?? Maannn, if y’all only knew my story, you’d understand!

Love & Hugs
