A Loss is A Lost

I haven't blogged in a few days, might have even been a few weeks, but after last night.. I think its no better time than now to do so. Last night I experienced a loss. It wasn't even a loss of mine, it was a lost to someone close to me. But I felt as if it was my very own. No, I'm not talking about a lost as in death but a loss in business. A very great business man who has it all together took a hit that made it look as if he didn't know what he was doing, all because his team wasn't together and organized doing what they were supposed to be doing. That's OK. A loss in business hits close to home as if it was a lost in death. I say that because your emotions are attached to whatever ventures you set out to do especially when they are your own. Its like your baby that you created and raised to be exactly what you hoped and wanted it to be. I know saying that a loss in business hurts just as bad as death, may seem a little far fetched, but you ask yourself the same questions. What did I do wrong? Could I have done something different to prevent this? How will I recover from this? Do people blame me? Am I to blame? You ask some of the same questions and just like death, it cant be erased. You cant go back in time and correct all the mistakes in planning you made, to make that one loss a win. All you can do is take lessons from that loss and apply it to the next venture.

 

I read somewhere, while researching music industry artist management, that you will start your company over and over. The 1st time you wont do everything right and the second time will be the same, but if your smart, the mistakes you made the 1st time will be the only correct thing you did the second time. And that's real. So even though this loss isn't mine directly, I inherited it. I took it on as my own so that it can encourage me to learn from my mistakes in business as well as learn from the mistakes of those around me. Needless to say, after last night, I'm more than positive this wont occur again. At least not for the same reasons.

To Love a Man

To love a man is easy, at times. But alot of times it can be difficult. To love a man you have to understand him as well as his wants and needs. Many men dont require much but they need unspoken things. Like women, sometimes they need to be read and paid attention to, in order to even know that they need something. What I have learned is that men need the same thing women do. They need to feel loved, appreciated, protected, cared for, supported, and at any given time they need to know that losing them is a lost you cant bare and that you will do anything to ensure their happiness.

 

I find that to love a man is easy, at times. But alot of times it can be difficult. Especially when he is going through the trials and tribulations of life. It can be things with his family, his friends, or even his personal life. Maybe he is not where he feels he should be professionally or maybe he is just not happy with his surroundings. Those things take a huge toll on men especially those that want more for themselves. For instance a man that is use to providing for his family suddenly loses his job. The emotional and mental toll of that situation is much worse than the financial. A man looks at being financially secure as his ability to take care of his family and if that is taken away, many times a man feels as if he is less of a man. But as a woman, his woman, you cant let him feel that way. To love a man matters most when he is feeling like less of a man. They say that a woman's loyalty is tested when a man has nothing and that man's loyalty is tested when he has everything. One of the most important things to a man is loyalty.

 

To love a man is easy, at times. But even when it is hard its worth it. Because if you love a MAN right, the way he deserves.. he will love you better than you deserve.

The Power of Music

That feeling I get when I listen to music, unexplainable. I feel things I didn't know I was meant to feel or needed to feel. It brings these feelings of sadness and healing at the exact same time. My mind races and so does my heart. Its almost like these words came straight from my heart.

 

To be able to close my eyes and dive into the combination of perfectly laid vocals to a smooth and perfectly executed instrumental takes me somewhere.. away. I feel intertwined with my senses and my feelings.

 

My first love(music) will be my last and this is the reason why!

I have FINALLY arrived!

Finally, I can consider myself an official BLOGGER! For the longest amount of time I have been saying that I am starting a blog but I never take the time out to do it. Now I have. Im not sure how many people will be interested in my thoughts, opinions, and constant raves about fashion, beauty, music, and my journey to being a music industry mogul but Im going to share them anyway.

Reading my blog you will learn much about me and some of those things we will be learning together.
