Well, isn’t that you?! We’d like to dedicate this week’s issue to all of us. The grinders. Those who make it happen (or try to) every day. The go-getters. The young at heart and in spirit. We want you to succeed at every endeavor you wish…so here’s to you and all you do to get yours and keep it!
Get Your Mind Right
One of the biggest obstacles facing our young people is a lack of adequate education and information about today’s job market. Gone are the days when just having a college degree guaranteed you a “good job”. Having a back-up plan is what you need when entering the workplace, be it the first time or the tenth. Knowledge is key when trying to stay one step ahead of the game. Whether it’s to make extra money, or to help make ends meet, a LEGAL hustle is what it’s all about! Real estate, privatized home health care, and personal beautification (spas and salons) are professions that can either supplement your income or make you rich…the choice is yours. Pick up this great book in order to help you decide what to do and give you the confidence to do it, Myths of Rich and Poor: Why We’re Better Off Than We Think by W. Michael Cox and Richard Alm.
Push Your Limits
One thing people are often scared to do when seeking more financial stability is moving. There is a certain fear of the unknown, especially if you’re not already employed in the new area or if you’re used to being close to family. The biggest mistake you can make is letting that trap you into not making that big move in order to change your life and your situation. Don’t regret going after your dreams, or just moving to give yourself a fresh start. Here are the top 10 cities for black people to live or relocate:
These cities offer the best opportunities for networking, entrepreneurship, homeownership, and job security according to several studies, but don’t take our word for it, read about it here: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Top+10+cities+for+African+Americans+2007:+our+readers+and+editors...-a0162882980
Take Care of Yourself
We all know that as young people, we don’t always give ourselves the best TLC. We party, get up early as you know what for work, we don’t eat right, and we don’t allow ourselves time to chill and relax…WITHOUT going to the club! Please, make sure you try to follow these little reminders to keep yourself looking so YBF!
-Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night
-Drink 8 glasses of water each day
- Eat plenty of green vegetables
- Drink alcohol in moderation
- Make regular visits to your physician
There are also some very positive events taking place in Charlotte this weekend, so take your pick and enlighten yourself, and if you're already aware, make someone else aware also!Having Our Say: The Delaney Sisters' First 100 Years-Afro-American Cultural Center, October 11-14.
B-Risque Fitness and B-Mania at the new University location-8404 N. Tryon Street, October 12.
Fundraiser for Underprivileged Children-AllStars Restaurant 5638 Albemarle Road, October 13.
We hope we have helped you begin to make a change in your life, if that’s what you’re seeking, or just gave you some information that you weren’t aware of. All of us would like to live well, it just takes Passion and Sacrifice. A better YOU is waiting!!
P.S...We give you what you crave, not just what you need!!!!
