So I've been meaning to pen this down and I
finally have it figured out….

Past Hurts have no bearing
on your future, don’t focus on them:
2012 was my worst year ever, lost my house
and had my car repo but got it back within the month. My biggest mistake was
learning not to be frank about my needs and assuming that through sheer hard
work people will reward you. It doesn't work that way boo, we need to always
fight for our little corner in life and never be apologetic for doing so, especially
if you have put in the hours. That was my best experience and lesson yet, and
today I’m reaping those rewards. Sometimes you need to put in the hours, get
paid those peanuts but understand what the vision is. I wanted to leave so
badly but nothing was happening, until I understood I had not reached the
pinnacle in that phase yet.

I’m team J-LO , love and
love again, stuff what people say:
Ok, no judgment, but ladies (and gents)
there is no harm in going for what you want. When you think you cannot love
again, you realize there’s still some capacity in you. I beg O’ don’t be hard
on yourself, its different every single time because no two people are the same.
I have that one friend that gets me through and through, and the reason is
simple…do what your heart wants ngoba you will either do it in hiding or
regret. So who are we kidding?
Oh and when you decided to date an ass of a
man…own up and make your peace. If he is not your cup of tea, walk away from it
otherwise buckle up and understand what you’re looking to achieve. Once again,
no one is there when you sit behind closed doors calling, texting etc.

Never get comfortable,
acknowledge it but don’t relax, ever!
Can I urge all of us to update our Linkedin
accounts, please!!!!! Be selective about who you follow, use that platform to
inform and educate yourself about the industry that you are in. You will soon
understand or at least gain some insight on what recruiters do. Be your own
recruitment agent by marketing yourself smartly. Stay clear from treating it
like Facebook, NOT the same platform and pretty please don’t inbox people for
the heck of it.
Will do an in-depth article on this later
on in the month…all I’m saying is that you need to treat yourself as a brand,
one that is respectable and has a formidable truth to it. No point accepting
every Tom, Dick and Harrison on your profile…be strategic. Ask yourself this
question….is this action getting me any closer to my goal or is it a hindrance?
