This year, I acquired my Masters Degree in Entertainment Business. With my Mass Communications background, this degree will be very useful! However, I have been hit with a few realizations about life after Grad school: The job market is set up to only help the friends or relatives of people in higher positions,and brown-nosing is a terminal disease. If you do not follow these standards of "making it", it would seem that acquiring any type of degree would be nothing more than a glorified hobby. As I try to cope with this, I am also paving an alternative way of achieving my goals. Pray for me...
IBJB Productions, my production company, was officially started this year. The company has been around since 2001, but now that school is officially over for me, all of my focus can now go on this vision. I have several projects under my belt, but I plan to use my full effort on all upcoming projects. Stay tuned to "smell what I'm cooking"...
The Cool, my company affiliation, has gone through a lot of changes this year to say the least. We have started with six members and a prosperous future. Now...we are cut in half with a prosperous future. Although the departure of our members were unfortunate, the "loss" has made The Cool a much stronger group. Branding a unique style of business has several people (supporters and haters) taking notice. As much as I would love to go into details, at this point all I can say is: "If you think The Cool peaked in 2009, prepare to pick your jaw up in 2010".
I have this belief that once I turned 30 years old that if I was not in a relationship I would not be. I keep my inner circle very small because people want something for nothing these days. I was prepared to accept that all the virtuous women were taken. But then it happened...I found one! ...or did I? She was a woman from my past so I thought that because we were older things would be better than before. And it was...or was it? What killed the relationship in the past ultimately killed it in the future. Looking back on the situation, I should not have tried to preserve a dead relationship from the past. This is what happens when you try to stick with the familiar. Bottom line: You can not graduate from college taking tenth grade courses.
As the end of this year closes, I have looked at all the triumphs and setbacks knowing that the best is yet to come. In my business and personal life, God has given me the blueprint to make 2010 a defining year for me. Yes...my omelet is made of several broken eggs. But it is the best omelet I have ever tasted...
Great read... those makes the best omelets!
