ADVICE FOR ENTREPRENEURS
Indeed you might ask, how can an entrepreneur need advice from a fellow entrepreneur?
Well I will answer; because not all of the ones out have life and or business experience.
That being said I would like to share a few thoughts that may help others that currently freelance, own a small or large business, or are in plans to do so.
First bit of advice is regarding FOUNDATION!
In order to build yourself in your field you need to have a strong foundation, much like a house. if you’re weak you will need to be strong.
Your team reflects highly of who you are. You must also have a strong team.
Together you will excel and be able to meet your business goals and satisfy the goals in your business relationships.
Second; you need to have GOALS in order to meet them right?
Think about what drives you?, what motivates you? Then think about how you can achieve everything necessary to meet the goals you set. GOOD now that you’ve done so LISTEN UP.
INVEST IN YOURSELF, AND YOUR GOALS
If you want to be a professional be a damn good one. Research your profession or craft, invest in the thing that you need.
Things I advise are but not limited to; formal training in your craft or line of business, tools required such as software programs to utilize or equipment and or instruments if your profession requires them.
For example:
If you’re an actor take classes, obtain experience on set and off set (volunteer, network, and expand your knowledge while doing so) to then pursue paid work. Purchase different wardrobe options so that you may submit for different castings (nurse, doctor, cop, fireman, lawyer, etc) It will land you more options.
Obtain as much EXPERIENCE as you can, you will then be in high demand. In ANY form of business, this is important.
That being said, expanding on that need for experience in all businesses you can establish and maintain internships or apprenticeships where eventually you can then get a job referral based on the “show and prove” method. Show your WORK ETHIC prove you’re worthy.
Once you’ve established your existence in your business community begin to think about your next steps.
How can I create a steady income?
How can I obtain the tools I need for my goals moving forward?
Who can I offer my business to and how do I do so?
ETC.
EXTRA STEPS ONCE THE BALL IS ROLLING FOR YOU:
Protect yourself.
Protect your content.
What do I mean by “protect yourself and your content” ?
Obtain all individuals needed that will protect you and your business.
Lawyers specific to your business.
Legal ownership and rights to your content, so that all are protected.
and more.
TO BE CONTINUED.
-This is a small portion of my advice to anyone who is an entrepreneur. For more details, to ask me questions, or to seek referrals for anything i mentioned, please feel free to write me a message I will reply.
Thanks for reading!

RE CAP OF THE WEEK
Posted: December 17, 2012 by JDM aka JACKIE SPEAKS in ACTORS, AWARENESS, CELEBRITY DRAMA, DRAMA, JACKIESPEAKS247 BLOG, MEDIA, NEW YORK, NEWS, OMGSo I have been extremely busy all week also a bit under the weather…but the following things struck me as overwhelming:
- The passing of Latina Artist / Singer Jenni Rivera (Died in a plane crash). -Gone too soon!
- The shooting in Newton CT. Many innocent children and several adults were killed by a shooter that killed his mother, those people, then himself. -I think this world is totally falling apart mentally and this is a serious problem! Our youth is turning to suicide and homicide instead of to their parents for help!
- Murder of a man by Central Park NYC (hit man style). – What was the hit for?, Why do people turn to violence?!..this was done in broad daylight (2pm ish) in a busy area..how can we feel safe in our city with people like this?.
- Random acts of selfish behavior by commuters in NYC.-I witnessed people fleeing a cart from what they thought was a drunk homeless man, and i had the heart to let conductor know the man appeared to be suffering a heart attack and could have had an underlying illness (diabetic or what not) based on what I saw. The problem is, people assume before putting themselves in the position of the person who is hurt or in need. Terrible!
The following is simply entertainment info:
- Beyonce signed a deal for millions to be the face of Pepsi, literally her face on the can.
- Wendy Williams called Beyonce dumb for lack of better words stating that she cannot “speak” on an educated level. Now she is gonna hate seeing her face everywhere on those Pepsi cans!
- Lindsay Lohan took a gift or what may be a loan from Charlie Sheen for 100,000 and didn’t even say thank you!..She is also in middle of possible jail time (what else is new)
- I found out (and am late on this) Justin Bieber has a fragrance out called boyfriend…WHY. Lol All these artists come out with fragrances but only a third of them smell good. Yet they all sell because of fans, groupies, and marketing gurus- sickening.
There is much more going on…but Im keeping it short tonight! I will be back this week… stay cool people and happy holidays!

WWE TAKING A TURN FOR THE WORST?
Posted: December 9, 2012 by JDM aka JACKIE SPEAKS in ACTORS, CELEBRITY DRAMA, DRAMA, EVENTS, GOSSIP, PAY PER VIEW, SERIOUSLY, TELEVISION, WRESTLING, WWELately the WWE has been engaging in more gossip than actual match entertainment. Former Monday night raw general manager A.J. Lee was allegedly having relations with pro wrestler John Cena, therefore leading to a public scandal.
Monday Night raw managing supervisor Vicki Guerrero “blew up their spot” when she pulled audio, video, and photo of them engaging in intimate relations and showed the WWE viewers. She and A.J. Lee were close to forgetting about professionalism and having a cat fight.
Although it is a scandal and people love drama, it has taken up too much time on the slot booked for wrestling matches, and is now a factor in upcoming matches between wrestlers involved in scandal and Vickie’s favorite employees.
The upcoming pay per view match “tables ladders and chairs” (TLC) will be a highly anticipated match where Ziggler could lose his “money in the bank” if Cena wins. Vince McMahon WWE Chairman and CEO has already pushed Vickie Guerrero to select the opponents in upcoming matches based on the controversy and gossip. This is no longer based on physical strengths and talent…is WWE taking a turn for the worst for drama purposes?..
Let’s hear your feedback!
