Walking With Jordi

Stress management is something we don't speak about often enough. Life is all about how we handle stress because at every turn there's another set of problems. It could be friends, family, work, a new personal business venture, or things just not going to plan. All the areas of our lives require mindfulness of what's going on and how we react to it and I truly believe that this helps in business.

All of us are alloted the same 24 hours in our day so there's no reason why we can't achieve our goals. Since I've watched this video https://youtu.be/oTugjssqOT0 on time management it's really allowed me to reclaim a lot of wasted hours. I believe in focusing on the customer as a way to produce results. Competition analysis goes so far but customers are never satisfied, thus giving room to constant innovation.

No one knows what's going on deep within you but you. I choose myself today.

Your attention is something is highly valuable to me. And for that reason, I'll never take it for granted. Time is becoming more and more precious. And as that develops, more and more we're seeing people fall into spammy behavior! I refuse to fall into this pattern of behavior because who wants to be sold to all the time? Exactly! Thank you as always for sticking with me on this Journey.

There comes a time in everyone's life where they ask if they're making the right choices. Now this isn't a playbook on how to figure out your life decisions, but it's an honest self evaluation game. Do the people that tell you to not do what you believe, take bold bets on themselves? If the answer to this question is no, then you go ahead and choose your inner voice.

We all have the same 24 hours in the day. We all just use it differently. Today I share some of the things that have helped me to become more effective in my execution and it all boils down to executing on my time in silos. No multi-tasking, no time hacks, just good old allowing time to tasks, breaking them down, and sticking to them. It's so basic, but it works, trust me!

I'm always very inspired by people's dreams and aspirations. But I'm usually disappointed by the fact that there's a meager amount of execution on those dreams when I do my due diligence to hear what's going on below the surface. My reminder to you and to myself is to dream big, attack those small steps, but most importantly, START. Too many of us don't start for a myriad reasons. And I hope that you can begin your process of understanding who you are, and what gets you ticking today.

We can't afford to wait until those final bleak moments in life to be grateful for the people we have around and and the things that we have present in our lives. Positivity is like a muscle; the more we practice it, the easier it becomes to implement. I challenge you today to call a family member, an old friend, a sibling, and let them know that you're grateful that they're alive! Don't wait until it's too late

Do you manage your time well? On average I'll bet that most of us don't operate in a strict schedule, myself included. I'm sure that we get alot done during a regular day, but what if we could get more done? That's what I'm currently testing. I've blocked off. Y schedule, set times for activities, like the gym right now and I'm going to stick with it! This is the youtube lecture that I watched: it's from 11 years ago but trust me it's relevant! https://youtu.be/oTugjssqOT0

One of the biggest problems I had was stabilizing my income as a photographer. I had to constantly hunt for new customers which is my natural state of being. But I wanted to begin farming meaning nurturing existing relationships with clients to furnish stable long term income to eliminate the overhead of being anxious about the next photography client. All in all this lead me to where I am and I hope that this moment of honesty and reflection can add some context for you. Have a blessed day.

Today is a special episode with one of my good friends Maliek Lynch prior to the release of his new album, 'Insin'. I've seen him transform from not wanting to leave the house to record music to consistently making projects, singles, more photoshoots, and just wholly embracing the art. I'm today's episode the message I want to drive home for us all is loving your journey! It's truly difficult. But if you can get into a place where your voice is the dominant one, if you lean into the things that you care about, beautiful things will start to happen in your life

The more that you can show a customer you care, the more you'll will in the long term. Today after delivering some photos in the rain, I reflected on how a company like Amazon is one of the most valuable companies in the world. It's because of their obsession with the customer. I think that all of us should like that to the best of our abilities and this will yield so much results for us. It takes practice, it's hard, but trust me when I say, it works if you're playing for the long term.

Coming to New York from Jamaica in 2012 was perhaps the opportunity of a lifetime for me. What that meant for me and my family was an opportunity to come into one of the greatest countries in the world to have a chance at a better life. And for that reason, I can never complain. I'm sharing this message with you today because we need to put life into perspective because 2019 is truly one of the greatest times to be alive and we will look back at 2019 and understand that truly there's never been a time like this.

People will cheer for you when you've made significant progress, sometimes even your friends and family. My question is do you believe in yourself and are you willing to sweat, lose sleep, get torn down by people and persevere through clouded judgement? If you are, start posting more because my life is changing right before my eyes in a way that I could have never dreamed of a few years ago. The internet is changing lives, it has democratized the idea of celebrity and now all of us can play. That is truly remarkable and I hope that someone can see what's going on, please.

Hey Podcast today is a very special episode featuring Mompreneur Alisha Small from one of our clients, The Women of Empowerment Inc. In this conversation we dive into some of Alisha's journey she's had as an entrepreneur. From leaving her job with a child at 26, to innovating around her knowledge of private school transportation, to balancing life with her two sons, I believe Alisha's story has something in it for us all. I hope you enjoy this episode

Voice is going to rock our worlds just like the iPhone did when I was 10 years old. I couldn't wrap my head around the infrastructure that the iPhone setup for the world that we live in now. But now that I've synthesized what it has done, I'm never missing the pattern again. I believe we need to start playing around with the new space because the convenience it's going to provide is going to knock out the players who are mere commodities.

We're all going to still be pretty young in spirit 5 years from now. I believe contextual to your life circumstances, you have a lot of time to figure it out. There's truly only the right move for you because there's so many variables that take place in planning out your life. If I would have known that 5 years into my business journey that I'd still be feeling like I just started, I'd have told everyone around me that everything will be just fine.

When you have a brand (reputation), you can do whatever you like. Some people need to focus on one thing, some need three. I believe that you know yourself better than anyone else so whatever advice that you receive has to be contextual to you. We all give advice based on what we would do any that's something to be truly mindful of. The world is yours.

Earlier this summer, I had a conversation with Theodora, creator and host of Woman and Company, a media group base in Long Island, New York. We go over our journeys, exploring thoughts on the current state of business, our aspirations, and why we're on the mission that we're on. I hope that in the nuances of this conversation that it brings value to those of you looking to embark on your own personal journeys as well.

It's imperative that we start executing on our dreams more! Too many excuses and not enough doing! I'm so passionate about this because I literally feel the trajectory of my life changing right now. Please post those videos and pictures, please make that podcast, please tell that person thank you, please share your story!
