Appreciation For Loved Ones
One of the biggest hurdles I have to deal with on a daily basis, aside from the hectic work day, is being away from all the people that I've grown up with especially my close friends and family. I know that I still have things to do on my own and now, I even have a family of my own, but sometimes, I'm overwhelmed with how much I miss them. And of course, it's the Bahamas. Who wouldn't miss the Bahamas after they leave? I sure do. Some of the things I miss are things that I know I've taken for gr...
Stay Focused And Stay Positive
Each person is going to take things they hear and see, in their own way. What I've come to realize, is that's what makes the biggest difference. Whether you see the glass half full or half empty. My decision is to see everything as a glass half full. Things more than likely get better with time. The more you get to know something, the easier it will become for you. And the other good part, if you don't like it, at least you will know and be able to make a decision. Making decisions without input...
Can Bahamians Make A Difference
I'm in question of our direction. I was able to have a long discussion today with my pops,who was basically the brains behind many of the technical craftsmanship behind the Bahamas' major media distributors such as ZNS Tv 13 and Island FM. You know I'm always having my ideas come across and stay in need for feedback from experts in the particular area I'm thinking about. And the topic came up of having an all Bahamian Television network. Sounds like a good idea right? No? Well I think it has som...
NMTeck Wishes You Best During The Easter Season
This is an email I sent to my clients, staff, contractors, business partners and friends but I do feel it's appropriate for all others because I'm sure there are people that I've left out. Thank you to all out there that provide support to myself and my busies. I will everyone the best as well as much success. EMAIL Facing the turmoil in the economy right now, it's more than important to establish professional relationships that are lasting and beneficial for everyone. It's not easy to find t...
Plans For Developent The Bahamas (Online That Is)
Boy, there is so much potential with this thing we call the Internet. i encourage everyone I talk to, especailly my clients and friends who have businesses. Get online! Now! It's not about just having a website to show off to friends or customers, even though a good looking website is definitely good. But its more about reaching out to your entire market. Things are so limited when u rely on in store sales. Of course there are business that depend on face to face methods, but the majority of the...

Having Fun Over The Christmas
Family is always good. Especially when you live 2000 miles away from home and the closest relative is a few states away. It will make you appreciate things more. I'm glad I got the time to relive some of my old memories and to be able to take my love to meet my family for the first time. It was an interesting visit but none the less, I would have loved to stay longer. Over time, after not being with family so long, I think I've let go of most of the appreciation for family and having them there ...
Easy To Give Up. Hard To Go On.
Just like it says. Sometimes it's so much easier to give up and to give in to things that are meant to get to you. Who knows how to deal with them the best way? Well there's one thing that I notice most of the time. Even when I feel shitty and in the dumps, i can look around and see that there are so many other people who are finding better ways to make do. Ways to not give into the stress, shortcoming of some dreams, loss of friends and loved ones... Its all around but in the midst of what may ...
Working Hard To Stay Afloat
Yea, it's motivation when you keep yourself motivated. It's easy to blame things for your own mistakes or failures, but don't. Simply put. I'll keep trying to be straight up, realizing that there are things that may be against me, and you, but you know you gonna make it if you dont give in. One man said that your thoughts are what manifest into the future... and whatever you really feel and think deeply about, will manifest if you truly believe it. Ask, and the universe will deliver. I'll keep t...
6 Months To Go
Its is surely good to set yourself some personal goals. It is even more improtant to actually visualize that goal. And to get others to see it too. Who says they don't see it? Let me show you. I have a goal, to be doing something on the 1st day of 2010. To be somewhere, that it may not look clear how I'll get there, but still knowing I'll be there. Like MJ. This is my first blog since he passed too so let me take a moment of silence for the king of bad... ... He is a part of the motivation. But ...
King James In The Building
Man.... I was so upset with 1 second left on the clock... Cavs down 2. And only the King could save them. And he did. It's like those games back in the day where you knew Jordan was gonna win it but you just had to see it to believe it. We are all witnesses. Here's my playoff breakdown... Series 1: Lakers vs Nuggets Well, first things first. Don't count on one of the two start winning the game for the team. That's not gonna be the case in this series. Kobe and Mello will cancel out point for poi...
Gotta Deal With Tough Times
Well, still goin hard in all I do. As long as I know God is watching over me, I feel good. Sometimes I allow things to get me down or better yet, I get too anxious to see outcomes at times. Not realizing that it took me at least 25 years to get where I'm at right now. Things take time so I've realized. I'm just used to things happening faster. When you're younger, you go through probably 90% of the changing that you will do in your entire adulthood. Definitely aware of where I want to be on a da...

Oh, 'How I Get So Emotional'
How true. It's a good feeling to understand when you're changing within yourself. Just the ability to get a good grasp on whats going on is the best feeling. Sometimes emotions try to get the best of you and cause you to break down. But it's a wonderful art to learn how to withstand the hard times. I think of it this way... if I'm being tempted to give up, I know that all I need is to give up one time and that will set the trend for the next. That's why I won't. There are definitely some things ...
Church On Sundays
Man. Doesn't it feel good? Let me first explain that I wasn't always how I am. I'm sure everyone know's what I'm talking about. There was a point in my younger life, where I didnt really understand what living was about. I thought I did. I had fun. I know that for sure. But back then, if I only knew what I know now. I would be better off. I been away from home so long now. That I'm just focused to make every second away, meaningful. Mr. Donovan Thompson, Mr. Businessman. Mr. Changed Man. I've be...
