Being stuck in the same place, doing the same things, reminiscing about yesterdays, and hoping the same hopes only works on t.v. In real life, that's called atrophy. It's the sound of someone who believes their best days are behind them.

SmallBiz Episode 60: Anger Management & Emails

Posted by JuJuan Buford, Entrepreneur & Writer @JSBUFORD

 

 

We're all guilty of it, at some point in our lives. Caring too much about others opinions of us. These others. The supermajority of them won't even blink an eye about attending our funeral when we die. We deny our individual truths, we deny and even hide the things that truly motivate and satiate us, we deny our authenticity. Stop being honest with ourselves.

And how can you be honest with anyone else, if you can't be honest with yourself? You can't. And that is what happiness is. Being 100% with you, and being surrounded by people who are 100% about you too.

#living #authenticity

Vibrate Higher

Posted by JuJuan Buford, Entrepreneur & Writer @JSBUFORD

 

People don't pay top dollar for an average steak. People don't spend their time to see an average movie. Or expend their hard earned currency (pay top dollar) on an average glass of wine or an average burger. They don't drive hours for an average vacation or concert. 

People will give you their attention, time, and part with their currency for passion, purpose, a memorable moment, or a life long obsession. 

VIBRATE. VIBRATE HIGHER. What are you passionate about? What are you obsessed with? What is the destination? What are you most excited about? Why are you really building your business?

When you can honestly answer those questions. you'll begin to attract your answers.

Dreams Absent Goals & Work is Painful

Posted by JuJuan Buford, Entrepreneur & Writer @JSBUFORD

 

Dreams without Goals & Work, is like daydreaming in the stands, while others on the field score the touch down, go on that date, secure that client, level up their business and their lives.

Painful.

People Either Love You, Or Hate You

Posted by JuJuan Buford, Entrepreneur & Writer @JSBUFORD

 

I used to be proud of that characterization of my relationships with others. 

I more than empathize with the I don't give a fuck attitude, I understand it. When you grow up in an environment where people spend more time tearing you down than building you up, you have two choices...

1. You can fold, allowing mean words stick to your thoughts and self concept of yourself. 
2. Or learn to think for yourself, believe in yourself, feel for your self, and shut out the thoughts, inclinations and feelings of others.

I executed. I led. I made positive, lasting impacts in the lives of others. People who I allowed to get close to me, came to respect and on occasion even admire what I stood for. People who knew me, know I'll ride an die harder for those around me, and go further to see them succeed than themselves.

On the other hand, I could be cold, calculating, and move irrespective of others, their needs, wants, or feelings. I could systemically remove a person from my space, and execute a practiced ambivalence that felt justified, and stunningly frigid.

And most of the time, that armor served me well, if simply checking off accomplishments and deeds are the extent you believe you can achieve. 

But there is more to life than that. At the end of the day, while those check marks may provide you moments of temporary satisfaction, they won't keep you warm at night. They can't laugh out loud at your shortcomings with you. They don't soothe you much after inevitable falls. They don't answer the phone with warmth or much understanding. They are just still pictures, suspended in time. 

Yes, your worst memories will always involve people.

But so will your best memories too. And good memories, good relationships, memorable moments with good people are truly the stuff that a good, well lived life is truly made of. If you believe you deserve better, and truly want to achieve more, others will be needed, and they must desire those things for you too. Learn to embrace the good.

Sometimes Before You Laugh, You Cry Till Your Heart Stops

Posted by JuJuan Buford, Entrepreneur & Writer @JSBUFORD

 

You're preaching go harder, Wearing all that armor.

You don’t need permission, nor alibis. But still walking like you’re invincible, veiling the pain.

You’ve been places where the light quits, and the dark stops. But at the end of the day,

Despite all your transparency, you’ll never know peace until you come to terms with you.

It’s not what you share, it’s the realization that you can never heal what you conceal. Be courageous.

Reveal.

I'm Not Supposed to Be Here

Posted by JuJuan Buford, Entrepreneur & Writer @JSBUFORD

 

From as far back as I can remember, I can recall being told what I wasn't worth, what I would not achieve, or what I could not be with rare exception. At every level of achievement, I've been told, you are not supposed to be here. And I drew a certain power from it.

Every success, every advancement, every victory, became and still is, so valuable to me. Why do I remain calm during the storm? Why do I proceed in the worst of headwinds? Why do the worse lacerations not dissuade me?  

It's because of faith. When I've had nothing, I've had faith. When the tank has run empty, I've had faith. In the face of the petty and demonic alike, I've had faith. And that is why I will continue to WIN.

I want at least 25% of my money to operate like soldiers. When I send them out onto the field of battle, I want them to come back victorious, having conquered the ills of debt and scarcity; capturing and converting more soldiers and returning back home with more than when they left.

World of Mouth - Commitments Don't End with a Decision

Posted by JuJuan Buford, Entrepreneur & Writer @JSBUFORD

 

Commitments don't end with a decision. That's just where they get started. 

 

If you want something out of your day, you must put something in it.

Your talent is what God put in you before you were born. 

Your skills are what you put in yesterday. 

Commitment is what you must put in today in order to make today your masterpiece and make tomorrow a success. 

*John C. Maxwell

Self Esteem, Hope, Faith, & Good People

Posted by JuJuan Buford, Entrepreneur & Writer @JSBUFORD

 

My faith has been tested more over the last two years, than at anytime in my life. If the last two years were rings in a tree, they would be very, very thin. More has been taken from me, then poured into me. 

I remember three high school teachers who walked into my life at the right time at Cass Tech. At a time when I didn't have a lot of voices telling me what I could accomplish, I needed them. It wasn't just a their kind words, but they put me in position to shine.

They recognized something in me, and allowed me the opportunity to articulate my thoughts and provided an outlet for the material I was reading....back then and to an extent today, reading was my escape, my safe place. It was their guiding hands that led me to my strength, giving me the confidence I needed to believe I could shape myself, and thus my future. 

Thank you Ms. Harbour (African American History), Ms. Shelton (Social Studies), & Ms. Smith (Art). 

It only takes a couple good people.
