UNDERGROUND UNDERCOVER: 5 INDIE PRODUCERS YOU MAY NOT KNOW, BUT SHOULD
Happy Black Friday, my Careful and Responsible! Welcome to the day that people spend money they don’t have, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to saving your money! I know many people wait all year for this day of savings, and some do so responsibly, but this is not the norm! Somehow in this time of economic struggle, folks are allowing themselves to be lured into wasting their hard earned money. I want to remind you that a lot of people are still recovering from one of the worst economic meltdowns in our nation’s history. With bankruptcies, foreclosures and unemployment still high, now is the best time to make sure we are being responsible and saving for a rainy day! Now is the time to make a decision! We can either allow our impulse and the media to dig us into a deeper hole, or we can begin to be responsible and take care of our priorities!! As you read this, you may have already done your shopping or have convinced yourself that no matter what, you will take advantage of the deals that are available, but I need you to begin to make better choices going forward! There is nothing wrong with spending if it’s planned, budgeted, and done responsibly, but don’t allow your emotions to convince you that your want is a need! Save Your Money! Invest It Wisely! And Make It Work for you! Stop being a slave to the dollar, and create REAL financial Freedom!! -Ash’Cash “A penny saved is a penny earned.” -Benjamin Franklin “The mint makes it first, it is up to you to make it last.” -Evan Esar “Money will come when you are doing the right thing.” -Mike Phillips “The art is not in making money, but in keeping it.” -Proverb “Money is usually attracted, not pursued.” -Jim Rohn “Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.” -Ayn Rand “A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.” -Jonathan Swift “Early to bed, early to rise, keeps you healthy, wealthy and wise.” -Benjamin Franklin TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

DAILY WORD: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! (GIVE WITH YOUR HEART)
Happy Wins-day, my Grateful and Appreciative! Welcome to the day before most people wait to give thanks! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to giving thanks NOW! Without getting too deep into the origins of Thanksgiving, it is simply a day that is set aside for us to spend time with our loved ones and show appreciation for each other and for all of the blessings we have and are going to receive! For a long time, this day has become more about food than about giving thanks! As we ready ourselves for this festive day, it is imperative that you realize that Thanksgiving should never be a once a year occasion! Thanksgiving is a 365/7 Days-a-week event! Every day that you wake up is a day that you should be grateful for! GIVE THANKS NOW!! Stop allowing people and events to dictate your gratitude! Realize that your higher power has blessed you beyond what you can be thankful for so, at minimum, you should not take your blessings for granted! Make sure that every single day that you are blessed to be alive, you are showing your gratitude by maximizing your FULL potential! As W.T. Purkiser once said, “It is not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, that determine the true measure of our thanksgiving.” -Ash’Cash “We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” -Cynthia Ozick “Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It’s a way to live.” -Jacqueline Winspear “God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you?” -William A. Ward “If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.” -Frank A. Clark “If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” -Meister Eckhart “Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.” -W.T. Purkiser “Gratitude is an opener of locked-up blessings.” -Marianne Williamson “If you count all your assets, you always show a profit.” -Robert Quillen TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

Happy Tuesday, my Centers of Influence! Welcome to the day you stop settling for less and take what you deserve!! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to following your heart! When life gives you lemons, you can either complain or add sugar and make lemonade! When life gives you trials and tribulations, you can either quit or weather the storm and reap the benefits of your struggles. When life is taking too long you can either wait, settle for less, or hustle hard and take what you deserve! Life is about choices! The life you are living right now is based on what decisions and choices you made! If you don’t like something in your life, then change it! The important things is that you stop being impatient and absolutely stop settling for less! Whether we admit or not, we all know what we ought to be doing in life, but many times, we allow our circumstance to steer us in another direction! No matter how hard, how long, or how impossible our dreams may seem, it is imperative to always follow your heart and never give up until you get what you came for! Each time you settle for less, a piece of you dies everyday! Stop withering away, and become what you were meant to be and more! Follow your heart and allow your greatness to shine brighter than it has ever shined! -Ash’Cash “The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.” -Maureen Dowd “Only do what your heart tells you.” -Princess Diana “If you’ll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives.” -Vince Lombardi “If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.” -Jim Rohn “There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart…pursue those.” -Michael Nolan “Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.” -Unknown “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” -Confucius “Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.” -Angela Monet TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

EXCLUSIVE: JOE BUDDEN SPEAKS – BEEF AND BRAIN
Happy Monday, my Movers and Shakers! Welcome to the day you continue to do what others are not willing to do in order to be successful! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to your success! Contrary to popular belief, successful people aren’t born that way! 99.999% of all successful people become that way because they have established the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do. The funny thing is that successful people don’t like doing them either, but do it anyway because they know it has to be done… This is the biggest difference! If you are searching for success and want it to be easy, then you are barking up the wrong tree! But, if you are willing to put in the work now in order to enjoy yourself later, then by all means keep striving because victory is within the mile! Success is sacrifice and success is commitment! Success is a full time job, but beyond 9-5! Success has no hours! Success has no holidays! Success is doing what is necessary when it is necessary!! Success is YOU if you are WILLING!!! Effective Immediately: Decide whether or not you are willing to do what it takes, then DO IT!! Don’t wait! Don’t deliberate! Just begin making your success happen!! NOTHING CAN STOP YOU BUT YOU!! -Ash’Cash “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” -Vince Lombardi “Some people dream of great accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them.” -Danielle Luedtke “Successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t even attempt.” -Kamari aka Lyrikal “It is no use saying, ‘We are doing our best.’ You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.” -Winston Churchill “Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” -Conrad Hilton “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” -St. Francis of Assisi “The impossible – what nobody can do until somebody does.” -Unknown “Successful people are simply those with successful habits.” -Brian Tracy TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

FROM SAC TOWN TO THE UNDERGROUND: CHUUWEE SPEAKS HIS TRUTH ON BREAKING THROUGH
Happy Friday, my seekers of truth! Welcome to the day you stop lying to yourself and realize why you are not where you want to be in life! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to self-discipline. Out of all the secrets to success, the one thing that is the most important out of them all is Self-Discipline! You can know all the tricks to the trade and understand what it takes to be successful, but without the discipline of implementation, you will never do anything substantial! As Brian Tracy once said, “Your ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not, is the key to success.” Effective immediately, you need to learn self-discipline! You have to realize that when don’t do what you know you ought to do, you will not get what you want! Sounds simple enough, but you’ll be surprised how many of us don’t realize this fact! NO MORE EXCUSES!! DISCIPLINE YOURSELF AND GET WHAT YOU DESERVE OUT OF LIFE!! The World is yours if you really want it! Begin Today by doing what is necessary!! -Ash’Cash “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” -Jim Rohn “Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.” -Roy L. Smith “Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.” -H. Jackson Brown, Jr. “Having a deep desire for what you want without having discipline is the beginning of delusion.” -Jim Rohn “DISCIPLINE is choosing between what you want NOW, and want you want MOST!” -Fred Crawford (@BIGFREDCRAWFORD) “It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.” -Shauna Niequist “Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.” -Abraham J. Heschel “Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.” -Clint Eastwood “Success is a matter of understanding and religiously practicing specific, simple habits that always lead to success.” -Robert J.

Happy Wins-Day, my unique beings of nature! Welcome to the day you stop apologizing for being you! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to your uniqueness and to being unapologetic. They either love you or leave you alone!! Simple as that! Who you are, how you feel, and what you do and don’t react to, are all part of who you are! Many times, we try with every ounce of our beings to conform to what others say is acceptable, and in doing so, we lose a big part of who we really are. We wear this mask for so long that we don’t even realize that who we’ve become is a carbon copy of someone else! STOP SAYING SORRY!!!!! Whether it’s with your words or with your actions, being apologetic about who you are is the biggest disrespect you can ever pay yourself! You are who you are; be that person no matter what! It doesn’t mean that you stop growing, but it does mean to accept everything about you and love it unconditionally!! Your greatness will be yours as soon as you are comfortable with the man or woman in the mirror! Be Unapologetically You!! That’s the best role you will ever play in your life!! -Ash’Cash “There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you.” -Steve Maraboli “You’re lucky enough to be different; never change.” -Taylor Swift “We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.” -May Sarton “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” -C.G. Jung “A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you’re not living in alignment; you’re not be being true to yourself.” -Steve Maraboli “Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.” -Eckhart Tolle “Take care not to listen to anyone who tells you what you can and can’t be in life.” -Meg Medina “High above the noise and fear mongering of critics and cynics softly speaks your true self.” -Mollie Marti “Following all the rules leaves a completed checklist. Following your heart achieves a completed you.” -Ray Davis TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

Happy Tuesday, my Lovers of Life! Welcome to the day you realize how blessed and highly favored you really are. Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to reflecting and moving onward! Thirty-two years ago from today, my mother gave birth to her final child: a baby boy, who most people told her she was crazy for even having… See, my mom was an older woman, struggling to get by when she decided to give birth to me, so not only were there economic disadvantages of having another child, but the risks were life threatening as well. Needless to say, 32 years later, I give thanks everyday to my mom and her courage, for giving my life a chance! Each year around this time, I reflect on the good and the bad, and realize how far I came and how much further I have to go! They say hindsight is 20/20, so make sure that as you live your life, you are treating everyday like your birthday! Always reflect on where you’ve been, how you got there, and where you want to go! Many times, we complain and wish things would be different, but I guarantee if you would just put your whole life into perspective, you would realize how blessed you really are. Everyday is a bonus, so the fact that you are still here is a clear indication that you have purpose! Never take for granted the precious gift of life that you were given! Many people are not afforded the opportunities that you have readily at your disposal! Don’t let your gifts go to waste! Take full advantage of your life and maximize your potential! -Ash’Cash “Sometimes, you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead.” -Yvonne Woon “Reflect upon your present blessings – of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” -Charles Dickens “We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness.” -Unknown “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” -Robert Brault “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson “There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart…pursue those.” -Michael Nolan “Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.” -Dalai Lama “Life is like a piano… what you get out of it depends on how you play it.” -Unknown TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.
