How Much Content is Too Much Content?
Working in the profession of marketing, I get more inquiries on content creation. Writing this blog right now is the very definition of creating content. I’m not going to lie. We make a lot. Almost too much. That’s why you probably only read some of my stuff every now and then. Let’s not get it […]
Why Hard Work Isn’t Essential for Success
I’m here to debunk another common myth in the working world. It’s believed that if you work hard, you will be successful. It’s not necessarily true. First off, what is hard work? Who deems your work as hard work? How much work do you have to do to make sure you’re doing hard work? It’s […]
Busyness Has Nothing to Do with Productivity

Why We Shouldn’t Ignore Our Feelings
During one day, we can be going through so many emotions. We have the need to succeed when it comes to work, or we have the fear of missing out when it comes to hanging out with our friends. We aren’t really nurtured to deal with these emotions, but suppress them. We’re actually professionals when […]
Why You Should Focus On Learning and Not Grades
Going to school is an anxiety inducing effort. The issue with school is that students are worried about the wrong things. I was one of those students who were too anxious to take a test. It had nothing to do with my knowledge of the subject, but my fear of a bad grade. If I […]
