This morning I wrote a story about the 10 Questions most asked to me about radio. As I have done for the past 25 years I went into it blindly not knowing (or thinking) that I cared what people thought. Over the years I have often been surprised when people have stopped me to tell me how much a story that I wrote meant to them or how I have been an inspiration to them and I will readily admit, I've been insulted and judged enough in my life to think that if black people don't say ANYTHING, it's better than them saying something that will probably be insulting. My rearing brought me to that conclusion and I am consistently working on putting an end to it.

  Recently while having lunch with a business colleague she said something that stuck with me. Her words were "the other day I went back to my office and I knocked everything off my desk that wasn't bringing me a profit." that was incredibly powerful to me. And I kept thinking about that statement. There are several ways to look at this ...  you can say I'm getting rid of everything that isn't making money but I always think a bit deeper and what I was thinking is anything that isn't bearing fruit of course AFTER YOU plant the seeds. It is (listen to podcast)

When someone asks you to lunch or dinner, make no mistake there is always a reason and for the most part, it’s not a problem. Depending on the person. There are three kinds of "Free Lunch" When someone wants to maintain When someone wants to pick your brain When someone wants to pick you pain then use it against you. I have no problem with the first two. But who are you having lunch with? (listen to podcast)

The body has an amazing ability to tell us when we're doing too much and we need to slow down if we refuse a slow down it'll make us slow down and the best way to do that is to make us sick. When we are sick and we're not able to work or do the things that we usually are able to do ... we gain a new perspective in life. This is the best time to find out a lot of what we look right past in our everyday hustle like .... (hear the podcast)

You have to make a decision on which part you play in a race because it is what life is all about. Nobody really knows why they are successful they are guessing, for the most part it's about doing what you love and someone seeing it and the right time. With the time that you have left, which is not guaranteed, what are you going to start doing NOW to change your life for the better? (hear podcast). We do not accept CPC or affiliate advertising.

How to Put Together a Great Team for a Project There is nothing better than having the right team for whatever project that you’re working on it helps Drive the vehicle.  But having the wrong team can drive your vehicle off a cliff or crashing into an 18 wheeler while you are trying to tend to the whiny and needy adult baby people in the backseat. Two things that it took me a really long time to grasp is: it’s never wise to hire people who think that working is not their thing … and the economy is not to blame for some people not working, it’s their attitude, lack of drive and motivation and negatively.  Its not that they can’t find work nobody wants to work WITH them. Also, there are lazy, negative and insecure people from all walks of life but the greater your pool the greater your chances for success. Never limit yourself.

The three most valuable assets in our lives are not what we think they are: Not love, it's not money it's not fame it's not the fortune but it's, time, value and energy. I would say purpose but you create purpose with time, value and energy just like you do everything else. Everything comes back to those three things. Time, Value and Energy. How much time do you have to devote to something that is not going to benefit you or your purpose? How much value is there in pursuing people, clients or situations that have a negative return? How much energy do you have to spare by being drained with futile efforts that you KNEW were not going to work before you invested … your time value and energy into them

On this EXTENDED version of Pennies from Kevin, we interview Dr. Mark Calarco from the American Addiction Treatment Center in Nashville, TN. He tells us about some of the ways addiction can creep into our lives and can even do so in disguise. We also talk about how people in the entertainment industry are affected.

Many times we are told to forgive the people who have done us wrong and that makes sense too many of us but it actually doesn’t make sense to your well-being, when you think about it.  I’m not saying that you shouldn’t forgive people when they’ve done you wrong, but consider that there is a very good chance they don’t even know they’ve done you wrong or that they have forgotten about it or even worse, they remember but they don’t care. So who is really at the greater loss? You! You are the person that you should forgive, and there are only two ways to put an end to the situation.  Address them or … (play podcast) Follow us on https://instagram.com/penniesfromkevin or Twitter https://twitter.com/penniesfromkev Contact Kevin@radiofacts.com [...]

We are constantly surrounded by instructions as well as instructors. It’s not just a piece of paper that comes with the TV stand that you just got it’s about life and what happens and how we respond to it. We all want to think that were smarter than the instructions but we’re not. That’s the first way to look at it the second way is…

  In the game of life there are several things that are really out of our control like people walking out of our life. Initially, we may ask ourselves what happened? But obviously, that’s none of your business.  To that end, If you live long enough you say, that NEEDED to happen. Rarely do people walk out of your life because they didn’t do something for YOU it is almost always because you didn’t do something for THEM, this means that everything “good” that you have done doesn’t count because the one perceived negative thing they think that you did is paramount. This means you (listen to the rest on the podcast)

No matter how hard you try to listen allowing someone to dump their trash on you it is alwys going to make you one thing … exhausted. - Of course there are times that we all need an ear and you can listen but proceed with caution and make sure there is a bed nearby so you can take a nap after you listen. Needless to say, complaining is what therapy is for and many people don’t know that THERAPISTS have to have THERAPY to unload the stuff that people load onto THEM. We have our own trash to take out and we’ve got to walk it to the curb. The garbage man is not coming to your door to have coffee and ask about each item in the trash bag and how it got there nor does he get paid for your explanation. So before you pick up the phone and hijack someone’s energy, note that they have their (listen to podcast)

When it comes to business or life our greatest asset is not money, love or networking but it’s your time. How we USE it will determine if we have the best love, the most money or the opportunities to network properly.  Are you using your time wisely? When we do things that are not aligned with our best interest, we not only waste time but we lose the energy to use additional time wisely. So ADDITIONAL time is wasted. We get energy from being in sink with what we desire and what flows with the direction that we are going in. So as far as the things that we can control, there should be no excuse to … (listen to podcast)

Never get mad at someone else for not seeing your value. It’s not their job. But many of us waste time… not days not months but YEARS waiting for someone to recognize how great we are. it’s not their job… it’s ours.  Today’s millennial’s don’t wait, they … (listen to podcast below)

If waiting is sleeping, then dreaming is doing! When you sleep, you rest when you dream you can DO…. When I look back on the time that I wasted WATING for someone or something to improve my situation, it actually makes me mad. Like most people I was ignorant to the fact that I was in control of my destiny and I was also taught by the generation before me, in the entertainment industry to keep my mouth shut and my ears open. Truth be told doing that may allow you to keep a job but it won’t make you very successful. In many cases, it will make you a slave to other people’s determination of how high you can climb. And in most cases, it won’t be at your greatest potential…. (listen to podcast) #motivation #podcast   

I can remember being in high school and asking myself repeatedly why am I taking this math lesson I will never use this and like what sense does it make. But as I got older I came to realize the math was very necessary. It certainly applies to life. I have learned that if I got older I use the system of banking which is math when it comes to life. Think about it, at the bank you have leverage, assets, with drawls, deposits, investments, fees, (check out Podcast for more) Follow me on instagram @penniesfromkevin, and Twitter @penniesfromkev  

Not long ago I started an additional venture which I had no idea would take off like it did. it became huge, bigger than I had ever anticipated, unfortunately, I didn’t have the time or the manpower to tend to it. You have to be careful when you venture out and do something that you’re passionate about. you never know if it’s going to take off. But there is a good chance that it will. Well it did and at the end of the day I tried to put together a team way too fast to make it work and they weren’t ready nor were they really interested. They were blind because they didn’t see my vision and I gave up on it myself because I became overwhelmed with other things. In addition, I believe their negative influence and lack of (check out the Podcast for the rest)

There are some people who are absolutely set in their ways and they will never change but they need the energy to be negative and negative energy is actually more powerful than positive energy it doesn’t take a lot to be positive but it takes a lot to be negative and if you surround yourself with people who are negative and allow them to zap your energy eventually you will be negative too and they move on to the next victim ….  #podcasting #selfhelppodcast Best Self Help Podcast
