My dream job is simply this, me being me and happy. For if I can’t be myself in which many jobs don’t allow unless it aligns, my dream job is working for myself. And the task of the job is helping other with services, conversation and knowledge to change the results they want to change with my help. I also would like to go do in the history books as one of the best ever creative professional. #simple

It’s Always Playtime: Fun Time and Jokes
I am a blast to be around. I bring cool positive vibes and am like a big kid. Most times I am still serious about the business at hand, but whoever said you can’t do business, run a company or operation, and have mad fun? Well, that’s someone who is at peace with himself and loves what he does and who he is.
Playtime for me is music; for you have to press play, that’s a given. Also, people laughing and smiling is a win, so it keeps the energy and closeness going.

My Biggest Challenges? | Writing In New York City
Starting off a new year, oh yeah, happy new year to you all. What are my biggest challenges? I love a good challenge, but only if it means something to me personally. I am highly competitive, but I also feel that in life, you have to lose sometimes.
My challenges are building a stronger following on Instagram and pushing myself to go outside at least 25% of the times I used to before the pandemic. I have been much more relaxed, and I am not pushing the cards as I used to.
I don’t live my life via social media norms, but I love to connect and engage with people all over the world, and social media, YouTube, and the blogosphere have that reach. So my challenge is to tap in more and just put myself out there more.
MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE
Lastly, a challenge for me, so it can put pressure on me, it to complete my first poetry chapbook, a full-length poetry book, and finish a series of music compositions that stem from almost 2–3 years out.
And to make matters worse, put out more videos and a podcast.
Okay, the pressure is ADDED, what am I going to do about it?

All In Due Time | My Truth | Thoughts #1
In due time, I will change from the familiar to the unknown.
My Thoughts on All In Due Time
As we follow the clock of life, we have no time to waste, but we also have to know and wait until it’s the right time sometimes. We may want to rush and obtain everything all at once.
Storytime
Lately, I have been working behind the scenes, reviving old thoughts and venturing through past commitments, knowing there are many projects I haven’t completed. I have been seeking new ways to tell stories. How will people connect, how will I express myself, and how may I impress myself are questions going through my head. I have recently taken a step back in journaling quite a bit in the last few months. I used to share my every thought on my website, an open source of inspiration and motivation; however, I know personally that I have a lot more in reserve.
I knew that in due time, these stories would surface in comedy skits, in daily vlogs, in audio form, and in tons of dramatic art. So I wait and celebrate the time to come soon.

Houston We Have A Problem: Way Too Many Bottles!
OMG I was freaking out this morning. Like I was getting up early, doing that early morning thing—you know, the successful person wakes up at 5 a.m., starts their day, and gets the hard tasks done first thing. Yup, that thing. I did it. For which I realized I have way too many damn bottles. It blew my mind.
HOW WE GOT HERE
Well, I am into fitness, so I need a water bottle. I hate to have too many plastic water bottles, so I brought reusable ones. Then, of course, I work at a company, or anywhere I go, you obtain more water bottles. I seem to not like replacing them, then BAM, a whole lot of water bottles. Water is my favorite drink of all time. I have it with everything. I really do, so to promote my water intake, I need water readily available at every key point of my day and life. So that’s work, home, on the go, and more.
LACK OF DISCIPLINE
Okay, I am not beating myself up overall about these stupid water bottles. But I am a minimalist person at heart. As I try to improve my minimalism mastery, that’s why I am writing this post today.
BREAKING THE HABIT
Just recently, I banned myself from Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, and Panera. I cancelled my Panera Bread Sips Unlimited subscription, which I may get back, because it’s a good deal for the cost to be more mindful of money leaving my pocket.
I know living in New York City or any major city, the hustle and moving around can get you going crazy, so we buy on the go. Well, I stopped it. I am working on pre-planning more, like I used to slow down my life and spend time and effort to effect my cost, health, and smoothness of life.
I SAW IT COMING
The crazy part about it all is that I saw it coming. I started with one. I was like, “Hey Jixi, don’t get another one.” I felt the happiness of good-flowing water and just saw another amazing new color bottle, then yup, got a new bottle. Then, after being 5 bottles in, HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
IN CONCLUSION
We are not perfect. We all have something we have less discipline about than others. But hey, I got a cool post out of this. And I will be working on my problem in public, not in private. :) I hope this post helps you look at things you have in abundance and think about how to simplify your life, donate, gift away, and more.
Live peacefully and at your own terms. 🙂

New Skills and Lessons: Deeper Analysis
Saturday Night Vibes
Saturday night vibes for me are a mixture and blend of cool, chill, and learning. I have been spending a lot more time tweaking my analytics and SEO and maximizing my productivity. It’s been really fulfilling. I am actually taking online classes and courses as well. I am so obsessed with upskilling. I am having a blast.
In my words, I am building a system for maximizing my minimalism. I am working to be sharp and agile.
Things I Recently Learned
- Quickbooks for accounting.
- How to maximize your awareness and visibility for LLC and Corporations.
- How to use generative AI to simplify tasks and save massive time with automation.
- Top 20 plugins for your WordPress website.
- How to build a custom widget
- How to spot symptoms of why people snore.
- How to change all the locks on a door and safeguard a property.
- How to install and manage security camera systems in commercial and residential setting.
Okay, here is my current position.
- I have a bookshelf once again, filled with books to read. I will have a post for the books on my new bookshelf soon.
- I recently revisited my GoodReads.com account to review books and will bring that to my website as well. If you have Amazon Account, literally
- I have just signed up for MasterClass.com for a yearly subscription. $100 for a year. Since I am out of university, it’s an investment in my education. No matter where you are in life, you can always learn and gain more knowledge and education without going to a traditional school with high tuition costs. Imagine I lived in New York City, and a semester for just community college is $3000-$5000 per 6 months. Do the math; a $100 investment per year in yourself will help you gain more skills, certifications, knowledge, skills to monetize, education, and career status to gain a raise, promotion, or find new job opportunities. It can also help your family.
- I have also signed up for LinkedIn Learning via LinkedIn.com. I am doing a free trial for 30 days, completing 10 courses, and gaining 10 professional certificates before the trial ends. If you are not there and creating organic connections, you are missing out. It is projected to be a game-changer in 2024.
It was for this year already, but if used well, imagine having coffee conversational interviews and chats with important people in their professional roles who are still real people. So think magazine editors, journalists, seminar hosts, authors, true gatekeepers, or people to unlock doors.
FYI, this is not sponsored post, for this post is about upskilling and my - I also have a few YouTube Channels I follow and love the content creators I will also share with my audience and have a Resources page on my website for people to interact with and level up. I will create a post about my top YouTube creators.
Most of the YouTubers I will list are in the industries of aesthetics, business and finance, financial freedom, and more. Only content that will help anyone get ahead in life.
Final words: invest in yourself. But also, don’t be afraid to take advantage of test trials on services to level up your knowledge base.

The Life I Pictured A Year Ago
Granted, I am a fun-loving, cool guy who writes free verse poetry in his sleep. I truly do create these amazing stories, fantasies, and concepts through my dreams and nightmares. Short-form writing has always been my key to life after learning psychology, I speak too much. Also, I learn in English after a few C’s; get to the point already.
Through reading more books, I learned many talents from Atomic Habits, One Minute Manager, Steal Like an Artist, The Art of War, and the 48 Laws of Power. Now, did I read these books in the same year? Nope! After talking to many people online and off, and watching many interviews with a handy pen and paper, or my smartphone notepad, I was put onto some of the most amazing books to be more well rounded in life.
One of the deepest sentiments I keep in my life every single year, which comes from my favorite HBO TV show, Entourage, is that I don’t want to be a suit. I can act like a suit, but I am a creative.
I picture myself a year ago, bursting back on the scene to explore more of my talents and skills and just be a positive influence on others, being a creative. Being a suit, for which I am a bit in my day work for unnatural reasons, I can come off strong and a bit menancing because I am very good at what I do, but being that empathic creative encourager of awesomeness and positivity, I will always thank my creative side.
