-I have too many passions. I don’t know what to do. It’s like I have passion ADHD. I always feel like I’m missing out on Passion A when I’m doing Passion B. I need this new job I’m joining to cover my overhead expenses. Whatever money I have left over I’m going to invest in my business, as well as my investments. I’m trying to build a system by where I can eventually make enough from my business and investments to the point where I can quit my day job and free myself time wise to do what I want to do. I know that’s the wrong way...... but what other option do I have? Everyday is a rush, and the weeks fly by faster than the last. I wish time would slow down. I wish I could just consolidate all the concentric circles in my life into a single thing. I feel like I’m split into a hundred pieces, and each piece is doing 1%, but I want each piece to be working at 100%.

-How do I choose one Passion? And do I have to choose one Passion to the exclusion of all the others? Is there any way to combine all my passions into one? Do I have to focus on one Passion and hire other people to fulfill the rest? Otherwise, I feel like I can’t do anything right or well.

-You know, I was making plans to move back to the states- LA, to be exact. I wanted to fulfill a dream I’ve had since college to move to Hollywood and try making it screen acting. Today, I feel different. I don’t know what it is. Is Hollywood the same place it was when I left it 12 years ago?

-Everyone knows I’m an artist. I feel obligated to appear to my family and friends as an artist because that’s what they know me as. That’s what they clapped their hands at when they see me. But I want to be a different kind of artist, but I will get censored if I become it. I’ve been censored before and felt hindered from self expression.

-Never sell. Educate. When you tell someone about an amazing movie you saw, are you trying to sell him a movie ticket? No. You are merely teaching him what the movie is about. Your enthusiasm may sound like you’re selling a product you have created, but in the eyes of movie makers, you’re merely selling people on the movie they themselves created. Your words should never make someone feel like you’re selling anything to them. Your enthusiasm, however, will sell the product itself. Your words teach. Your enthusiasm sells. Never confuse the two.

-A network marketing company is not a Ponzi scheme. Ponzi schemes either don’t have products to sell or sell products that’s don’t work for anybody.

-There is never a free lunch. Someone may treat you to a meal or cook one up for you. But sooner or later, you are going to have to repay that person more either monetarily or through a means of which you do not prefer. When that happens, you will regret having sat at his table.

-The Necromancer, from The Hobbit, was Sauron.

-90% of the tax laws written by the US government are intended to encourage American citizens to become business owners and investors, because the government wants its country to produce affordable housing, jobs, and energy. There are legal ways to not pay taxes, and it's patriotic to do so. Only those ignorant of the tax laws written by their own governments pay most in taxes.

-Sitting for longer than 20 minutes is bad for your back.

-Record all income and expenses- no matter how vast or small. They all account for something when added up. Record all Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, lest you gather the hatred of those you love and hate those who owe you.
