Please Donate it is Going to a Great Cause and I will be competing in it.

Dear Family & Friends:

           

This upcoming June 26^th The Josh & Tyler Stephens Memorial Fund will be sponsoring Chris Hawthorn in the 4^th Annual KIC IT Triathlon. This is an Olympic distance, USAT sanctioned race is one of the area's most exciting urban multi-sport events, comprised of a 1.5k (.9 mile) swim in Long Island Sound, a 40k (24.8 mile) bike ride into the countryside of scenic North Stamford, a 10k (6.2 mile) run through the streets of downtown Stamford and a post-race Family Festival...complete with music, entertainment, rides, fine food and more. It's the perfect summer Sunday for families and children of all ages.

However the KIC IT Triathlon is primarily a fundraising event for Children in Crisis, they have many active participants raising money for separate organizations. For those of you who are not familiar with the Josh & Tyler Stephens memorial Fund, it is a fund created in memory of Josh and Tyler, and it gives children the opportunity to achieve their personal best by providing a monetary resource to those who would not otherwise be able to participate or experience their dream. It is our hope that this fund will enable children to grow and seek to inspire attributes that develop sound character and in return be an important part of our community.  The Joshua and Tyler Stephens Memorial Fund (J&T Fund) is a fund that will contribute to children year round so donations are welcomed throughout the year.

The way we will raise funds for this event is to ask that you give a $1 for each individual mile completed by the participant or whatever amount you feel comfortable donating. If you were to donate a dollar per mile it would be approximately $32. This event is new to our fund raising growth process, so we ask that you get involved. It should be a great day and we hope to have you’re support. Thank you so much and God Bless!

When making a donation, please make your checks payable to: Josh & Tyler Memorial Fund. 

Also, please share this information with your family and friends as we need all the support you can provide!

Thanking you in advance for your support!

It is becoming more and more difficult to find what topic to blog about. I try to relate the ever-changing world of finance to the world of publishing, but it seems the two do no always coincide. Since this week we are suppose to discuss in class the business of publishing, I figure this would be a perfect time to listen and then come back to my blog and see what type of creative ideas I could come up with to maybe further someone in there business. Until then...

I am in the middle of a conundrum, as I sit studying for my series seven exam with only two days awaiting the day before I take the test.  For those of you who are wondering what this exam is, it is the exam that if passed allows you to sell and trade securities (bonds, stock, etc.) This studying process is so regurgitating. So much knowledge in and then some much going out. I wonder though why in the HELL is this study book I am reading so difficult to comprehend. When really all test are way more lament then studying process itself. 

Why not make all books for dummies, rather than preparing something so fucking unnecessary. I purpose somebody do something about this, maybe me who knows. There is just no reason why every book, curriculum,  or any learning tool for that matter does not just cut right to the chase and give us the gist rather than the run-around of bullshit.  

Why are books and studying manuals the evident cause of educational depression.......

 

What do we want? What do we need? What is the american dream?... My dream is to be extremely successful at a young age, be extremely power member of the NYC community, own houses in the Hampton's and Fiji, have a BAD fucking wife, be famous, and to be young forever. All of this will be possible, if i plant my feet now...RIGHT NOW... in a great business venture.

Now I know this blog is meant to reflect publishing, but how much can I write about something that I really do not feel passionate about. However since this blog is a business related blog than I will try to intersect the two. 

At the moment, I am in the middle of finding a Cash Flow Positive business. What this means is finding someone who is willing to sell their business and who has shown great annual revenues in the past. Then this requires me to go to any investment bank and have them invest in my business.

If this were to work I would use this venture as a stepping stone into the future, where then I would buy and invest in other things. Then I would stop everything, after making enough money, and pursue an acting career. Wild transition I know but this is what I have been doing before I got obsessed with wealth,  not in a greedy sense but in a way that promotes positive things to take place in my life. 

I will then try to write a book about a man who once postponed his passion to go down a road of hard work and hustle to make the long hall a fun filled life.

Business of making money not fulfilling your soul!

             I don't pretend I come from the conventional world of publishing. I am strictly a young business man trying to cut the fat on all of the minuscule bullshit that clouds peoples mind when making proper business decision. The fact of the matter is that the some young american people tend to be oblivious or at least act that way, when it comes to things that are critically important to their financial live... If I as a theoretical publisher were to publish a book I would not deny contract for authors and writers based on the fact of moral and intellectual fiber. I would make hardcore financial analytical decisions when making when thinking about money.
              Now I use Publishing as an example because I am in a Introduction to Publishing class. In this class we are comparing and contrasting many different manuscripts. Many of these scripts could be published for the fact that they could attract large number audiences to read and purchase them. However, a lot of these manuscripts... well lets just say are not my style of reading. Either way, the realm of any business its not about our personal outlook of quality its about the amount of quantity you could produce, and in this case it is about producing the most amount of quantities of books.
              The most common example of this decision could be related to the music industry. In my mind, what I believe to be (what I know) good music is not what is in the top 100 on the billboard charts. So for instance I rather be dragged naked through a field of pricker bushes in a frozen tundra than have to listen Key$ha or Glee for longer than five minutes without being drunk. The american public would call me crazy for saying people things like this ( no not my explicit analogies) but not having the same general taste as them. If i was a record producer however, I would definitely be producing those billboard top 100 songs, because they sell. Simple as that.
             Same thing goes for books if you are a publisher and you are not producing the books that sells than you will not last long in that world. Thats a world in business everywhere. Survival of the fittest, that the way to play and only way to live.
