The Machine Needs Repairs

A few weeks ago a friend of mine and I were talking. The conversation involved people and ego's with a little of who is right and who is wrong. At the end of the conversation we concluded that within a circle of people it is understood that at some point everyone has a right and wrong moment. All of us have an I messed up moment. Every once in a while within circles you have a person who doesn't usually mess up (as major as others). I sat back and I thought to myself. If I am that person in my circle and I am the go to person (helping to make the situation better) what happens when I mess up? My friend looked at me and said.... Mia! You don't mess up (my friends have this habit of making it seem as if I am this super whatever you want to call it...I beg to differ). He said you sometimes have to shut it down. I thought about it and its kind of true. I Shut Down! Once every other month or so I take a moment (a day maybe two) and I shut it down....Counting down to SHUTTING IT DOWN.

Today is a Good Day... And It's Still Going

Love to Skai Ryan Cosmetics...

A true client appreciates those who are available at the drop of a hat, willing to allow them to infect your brain with a multi-billion dollar concept [that they want to include you on], all while remembering that you are a workaholic and never stop to eat. To all those clients out there that appreciate you! Smooches:)She walked in with the food.

Business Card Meltdown!

New Year New Things...

I'm sure we have all had our share of Christmas cheer and Happy New Year greetings from our peers. I tend to be the one that relies on those who know me to know that I wish all prosperity every day of the year. I tend not to bombard everyone with the continuous text message, facebook hellos, twitter tweets, and all other forms of social networking we are over indulged in. This short story I have to share.

It's New Years Eve I am enjoying great company, totally engaged in great conversation. Around 5 o'clock in the morning my phone rings. I am a professional. I have multiple clients [dj's, pr reps, musicians, athletes, hosts, etc], so its not unusual for the phone to ring at unusual times. Generally, the rule is no calls before 9 but it is New Years. [Gotta give background info on where my mind is so this story can be understood]

I answer the phone. "Hello," is what I say. The person says, "is this [who I am]?" I say "this is she". She says, "were you at [said venue] this evening"? I say, "no." She continues to ask me questions. I stop her in mid question to remind her that it is 5 o'clock in the morning. She tells me that she is aware of the time but it sounds like I am awake. All I could do is be as polite as no one I know would have been and educate this young lady on some things.

Before she could tell me, I asked her the name of her boyfriend. I asked her what he does. I have been there before. I explained to her that am a professional woman and he could have gotten my card from a number of places.

My father always says that I am a teacher. This is yet another opportunity to school the poor thing because she was definitely in distress. I left her with some food for thought: 1) Don't look for something because you will always find it, 2) It is not wise to call [even based off of emotion] someone at the crack of dawn, 3) If you can not handle the profession of your mate; have that conversation with them, 4) Do not make an ass out of yourself because of an assumption.

Her life was turned upside down because she found a business card. My business card! I never mix personal with business.
