Close to the storm

So I was thinking today as I was ignoring the fact that although I am close to a month off from school that I really don't get any breaks from "work." I need to write about 4 papers and study for 2 tests and then I am done for this semester. I am still waiting to hear back from the shipping company about my claim (trying to stay hopeful about that) and I need to make sure that we secure the location for the Jan. 21st event. In addition we need to get the rubber band bracelets disbursed to the community because that is major for us to get the buzz going. Plus I see my protege isn't ready to take the reins completely because he needed to be reminded about following up with people. However thats not a problem at the moment because he is still getting used to what needs to be done and balancing it all with your normal and school life. I am looking forward to next semester once I get all my classes since I found out that my MILS 202 doesnt count towards my graduation which is retarded...but yea..anyway.

On another note my agent is starting to piss me off with her inefficiency and lack of a constant communication...I don't know if she realizes that her ass will get replaced asap if she doesn't get it together and soon. I really want to get some floorplans on these buildings of interest so that I can make potential floorplans for each one of them when I have some free time. That way I won't be focused on one party and get short sighted into falling in love with one over the other. Also I need NOI calculations on each of the properties so that I can get it done so that when it comes to the point of me doing my business plan with www.masterplans.com I won't have to do all that and it will already be finished. I think having the photography aspect will help me as will in terms of marketing not only the building for the loan but also for the future tenants.

The last portion of my day has been reaching out to web and graphics designers so that I can finally get my fucking logo finished since Lauren just dropped the ball and let that bitch roll down the street and get hit by a train. I mean she does great work but at the end of the day this is why I say I can't work with black people...no fucking professionalism. So now I am trying to see if the designer that was mentioned on Justin's page (http://www.justinmcclelland.com/) and I also reached out to Surface 51. Now granted Surface 51 is my prime choice but I have a feeling their price is going to be fucking out-rage-ous! Hopefully I can work something out with them because I am not trying to hear anything around the 5k-10k range...really hoping for a 2-3k range but I think I might be wishing for a dream. We shall see.. There are so many damn expenses needed for this damn business idea to even start up right.

• Website: $3-10k
• Card Printer: $2.5k
• LLC Registration: $600
• Email ListServ: $2k
  
• Card Software: $2k
• Total: $10.1-17.1k...: basically 10-20k [aka FML]
  

The key is that if I hit my numbers I will be out of the red with 10 people...so I guess thats what I need to focus on...

Time get back Blogging

Ok so it has been a long time since I have been writing in my blog but that will be changing immediately I promise. So there has been alot that has changed since September back when I wrote something so I will try and get this blog up to speed. First off I killed this semester and actually will be graduating in May (well technically I have 11 hours for the summer) so I am pretty excited about that. Next semester is going to be a beast, I am taking 22 hours for school, real estate license course, property management certification class, and LSAT test in February. Along with that I have decided that Champaign-Urbana is now going to be a location that I can't call home any longer because it is constricting my growth at this point, so home sweet home Chicago here I come. I am focused on one thing and that is acquiring my first rental property in Bronzeville in August-September, beginning my real estate empire. I know exactly what I need to do in order to get my credit score where it needs to be in order to make that happen, however that is only the tip of the iceberg.

I really need to focus my efforts on the building of my new company idea, The Conglomerate. Bare minimum I need to hit $60,000 but ideally I have to work towards $125,000...yes I said 125k..oh I didn't mention that I need to hit that by June? Yay FML! However...the one thing that I have is my imagination and my determination to success. I have done crazier and more unlikely things in shorter deadlines so this just means that I have to give it my all. So with all this drive towards purchasing my first property I have been working with my real estate agent from www.dreamtown.com (Jenna) and although she is cool, I can see where I would be better but that's another story. I have found about 5 ideal properties that have gone down since the time when I was originally looking and started this blog so I really want to get those. I have read three different books about landlords and I have gained a multitude of information so now its time to put that into play. I need to hit a certain number of promoters, photographers, graphic/web designers, and DJ's, to make this stuff a reality so I really am going to need to get on the ball. Not to mention that I am still doing events and hopefully we will still be able to use the Loft after the brawl with the Sigmas and the football team...fucking goofs.

Anyway, the first event will be for me and Moe's Bday and we will also be releasing the Conglomerate Cards out to all the people that are there. We have to hit capacity by midnight and if we can it will be major for setting the tone for the next semester. With the events that I have planned it will increase the Conglomerate network and provide me with the capital that is needed to take care of my credit issues. I am going to meet with my lawyer to have him get the judgment to be settled on and I will pay that out immediately if I have to, because I need it gone. I also will need to collect debts owed to me because I need that money as well. I have so much going on in the next 6 months that I really will have to stay focused to get it all done and meet all the goals that I have set.

Goals:

• Graduation in May; BS in Psychology
• Class Ring (deals with my Pops)
  
• Real Estate License
• Property Management Certification
• 170+ on LSAT
• 700+ Credit Score
• $65,000-125,000 capital
  
• Apartment Building in Bronzeville
• Fortune Forde Properties, LLC
  
• The Conglomerate, LLC

Well I think that's all for now....lol until next time!

Good Morning World

So clearly I haven't written in this thing in fucking months! I appologize to any of those that actually read this shit...I think I am gonna start writing in this thing more frequently since its my thoughts to the world...however small this blogspot world may be. So I wont even begin to go through all that has happened since the last time I wrote in here. All that needs to be said is that I am in school again and loving it...im going for this scholar shit and taking this shit seriously for once...for the most part. Taking hella hours to get done with this dumb ass undergrad degree so I can move forward and get this law shit popping off...Well first class of the day is now so a bid you adieu

Twitter has fucked my life

So I clearly haven't been updating my blog nearly as much as I should have been but it's not my fault whatsoever...it Twitter. That shit is worse than crack and chocolate because I definitely have a twitter app on my iphone and my G1 which is just bonkers. I think that I need to just update the blog at least twice a day and update my twitter while I am on the go and then check facebook at the end of the day. It's like having a damn part time job but it does pass the time on the boring days when I am not scheming how to take over the world, looking for cars that I don't need to buy, or watching some free movies on ninjavideo.net...

As for updates the Miami Trip is definitely on schedule for the 21-24 but the fucked up part is that I will be missing a day of class to go which wouldn't be as bad if the class wasn't only 4-5 weeks...so yea. Oh yea I am officially back a college student with classes and all, now all I do is get my financial aid in order and I will be golden. I also scheduled my tat for May 1 so there is no turning back now! I have been biking for the last week trying to get back into shape for both the tat and for the Miami trip. I have been only eatin healthy food for the past week as well so yea trying to get my damn life in order and get off the bullshit. I really need to decide how I want to do my tat because I only have 10 days until I am getting it. I am pretty sure I am stick with my original idea but I just want to be sure it will look the best, cuz this shit isn't dry erase lol. I am really hoping to close out all my past problems with April so that starting with May everything is starting new and fresh...

Cars...

So I had decided that I wasn't going to buy anymore cars until I got a house and got settled with all my finances then I found a gem of a car...like everything perfect...but the car got sold last night and then the new buyer is already selling it back but for 500 more...now realistically I could buy this car but then I would have to wait until my next check comes to finish paying off my bills and such...like I don't really like this idea really. Plus the reality is that I don't have a garage so then it would be sitting outside during the winter defeating the purpose of looking for a car that hasn't been driven in the snow. The problem is that even at the increased price of 500 more dollars this car is still a steal...this shit is crazy I just don't wanna make a bad decision because when it comes to cars I normally do make this mistake. The last piece of the puzzle was that I initially kept telling myself that I wanted to get a manual for all my sports cars because the reality is that I would only be driving them during the summer so its not like its that big of a deal plus with a car like this its almost silly not to have a stick. Decisions decisions...I think that it would be best to just ignore the car even though its a great deal and would be saving me anywhere from 3000-6000 down the road when I got to buy this car a year from now. I think its decisions like this that can make a break other dreams and the fact is the club is number one @ the moment..damn being mature really sucks.
