MARCH MADNESS OR MARCH MAESTRO

March is a pivotal month for many of us on the western side of the world. It is where winter chills begin to turn into springtime filled with blooming hills. The color green by some unspoken rule has championed as its mascot signifying new life, nature, rebirthing, wealth, generosity, and of course good fortune. Saying that is the common belief of many why on earth in this rebirthing time of the year would we speak “madness” over it?

March is a pivotal month for many of us on the western side of the world. It is where winter chills begin to turn into springtime filled with blooming hills. The color green by some unspoken rule has championed as its mascot signifying new life, nature, rebirthing, wealth, generosity, and of course good fortune. Saying that is the common belief of many why on earth in this rebirthing time of the year would we speak “madness” over it?

The other day I found myself saying over and over here come March Madness and for the first time I felt extremely convicted of speaking such words especially in the current time we are living in. On this day and this very morning chaos and war continues in Ukraine with Russia, across America crime is running rampant, inflation is racing to a 40 year high, our government and elected officials are useless, and literally it is as if the world, my city, our country has gone MAD. So I immediately shifted my tune and decided to speak life and not death as we close out of Q1 and enter into Q2 of 2022, and the spring equinox is officially March 20th of this year.

After many reviews of positive words that begin with the “M” maestro stuck out at once. I do not know if it is because I am literally writing this blog while listening classical music, Beethoven – Symphony No. 8, but it seemed very fitting for us home-based entrepreneurs! What is a maestro you say? A maestro is a conductor of classical music, a great and distinguished individual, and that is what I want for us CEO’s to aspire to be in the month of March 2022.

The weight of the world and these times are a bit much, we must chose to operate, build, and dream to a higher tune of success in the midst of it all. So I commission you to mind your words, let us not create more madness by the words which we speak, but rather create harmony in our businesses. Be the maestro of your domain, symphony tunes of consistency, productivity, profitability, and creativity. More than any time in our lives it is imperative we keep plow to ground, steady chopping at wood until the job is done, do NOT let up my fellow home-based business crew.

I believe March will be what we make of it by minding what we speak, what we allow ourselves to see, watch, hear, even as deep to the environments we’re in. Remember this month is a close to our time of incubation (figuratively speaking), we must move with intentionality having a well-charted course and plan of action in our personal lives and business.

In closing with death and madness all around us we shall bloom and be the last ones standing working towards our prophetic destiny. Here are some things I’ve chosen to do to help put myself in a higher gear of concentration and momentum:

  1. Powdered down my most destructive social media platform which serves more as a personal account than business. I temporarily disabled it so that I stay out of the constant news updates.
  2. Currently have changed my selection of music to invoke deeper brain power, concentration, and focus. It really really works. Having been a fan of classical music my entire life and lo-fi instrumentals I wanted to get back into that musical selection a bit more.
  3. Restarting my high-fat keto meals and laying off the comfort meals.
  4. Upping my running and walking.
  5. Creating a full March Maestro plan of action for ALL my companies and seeking 30% increase of operations minimum.

As we “March” forward into this time of transition of economics, business, mindsets, climate, and so much more remember of all times, years, this is really the greatest time to be alive, to witness the coming shift. Have faith and build your businesses, many generations with thank you in years to come because you chose to persevere!

Happy Marching!

DECLUTTER YOUR DOLLARS

DECLUTTER YOUR DOLLARS to be inflation and weather the financial storm that will take so many by surprise in the worst way.

Costs continue to skyrocket, inflation nowhere near peaking and already at a 40 year high (from the President Regan years), food & energy getting out of control, it’s time to DECLUTTER YOUR DOLLARS (new ebook coming out this week by CEO DRIVEHER). 🏦💵🕵️‍♀️👩🏾‍💻 The average American 🇺🇸 family has already seen a cost 💲 of living increase of $300 – $500 a month. I want to help you in more creative ways place a financial hedge of protection to offset rising costing. Some things we have no control over and will just have to fork over the dough, but if we creatively drop costs in other areas we won’t feel it as much. Here are some of the strategies, suggestions, and ideas 💡 to implement to minimize costs that make a massive difference!

1. Create milk routes! What do I mean by that? Maximize your time and energy by planning/scheduling shopping, errands, appointments, etc. We fail to realize how much time, fuel, and energy is expended from not planning our days. Take for instance you can plan to do all these things once a week on the same day! I’d suggest when doing this you start at the earliest time so you’re not fighting with traffic. Also set up a roadmap/list of all the stops and hit them up in a uniform manner so you’re not overlapping. I use to do this when I was an Uber driver and it works!

2. Cancel subscriptions that are of no value! If you never use them, ditch them. Learn to live without certain things. I don’t care 🤷🏾‍♀️ if it’s for $2 dollars if it fails to serve you ditch it.

3. Start a change jar placing all change in a 5-gallon water jug. Yo, trust me this works! You’ll be surprised what a full $ 5-gallon jug can save up. I had a friend that had $7,000+ in one of those and she used it as a down payment for a truck. She was a waitress in iHop and from tips always had changed.

4. Do laundry only 2x a month! Why? I’ve noticed people will wash 3 pieces of clothes use up a bunch of energy, soap powder, and water for a few pieces of clothes. You want to maximize your loads (not overstuffing), but get drear use of components. Y’all water, energy, and detergent are EXPENSIVE! Learn to reserve.

5. Cook at home with quality foods especially if you have children. People really sleep on this because they think paying less for food and eating processed low-quality food is better serving when in fact it’s not. Actually, it’ll cost you more eating CHEAP! Processed foods are filled with fillers that leave you satisfied for a minute, but due to being stripped of things like fiber you’re quickly hungry again. This is why kids eat so damn much. Cheap food goes right through them. Have a high fiber-based diet and fatty proteins to keep a longer-lasting sense of fullness.

6. Get an air fryer and large crockpot! Yo, you’ll barely use your stove or over which preserves fuel/energy costs. Plus you get the best damn food ever! My air fryer does the most it’s even a dehydrator. Next on my list is a bread maker and high-power mixer.

7. Get some weather stripping and insulate your doors, windows, etc. duh 🙄. Y’all with energy costs going up this should be a no-brainer! For less than a hundred bucks you can do this for your home 🏡 or apartment. These things actually work too good. If you have some old ones simply replace them.

8. By dry goods in bulk directly from the manufacturer or believe it or not Amazon. Learn to pay attention to the oz. and pounds on a box of food. It takes a little math, but due to “shrinkflation” grocery stores are making hand over fist and I get it, but if you have certain products you love, buy in bulk elsewhere. (And not always Costco 😒.)

I’ll have dozens more option in my upcoming ebook, but here’s a great start! One of my favorite economist is now shouting to the mountain tops on the incoming hyper-inflation. This is what we most definitely do not want, it could literally destroy America (which is the elites plan, to financially collapse our dollar so that we go to a global dollar, one world currency). Of all classes the middle-class will be the worse affected. The middle-class makes up the larger majority of our society as well pays the MOST in taxes. Remember inflation is a form of a tax. They seek to tax the hell out of us to keep us enslaved and co-dependent on big government. I strongly encourage you all to get in front of this, and a major way is by implementing a means to declutter your dollars, cut costs, and think of purchasing power on a macro-level.
