I will say right off I am done with “speakers” and here is a story to tell you why.
The other day I set up a phone interview with one of Tony Robbins crew members. I was under the impression that I was being called for an assessment. Not entirely so. She went through the spill asking a few questions that really was just filler for what she come up with next. She said we have courses you can take to become a speaker. I was immediately like, “How much?” Then she hit me with the low low price of thirty-five hundred dollars! That is for six months of training that I could get up and do now, just to be honest. I told her I could not afford that now and she got quiet said she would send me the link and abruptly ended the call. Yea, I felt so “loved” then. Guess what, no link was ever sent. That was the kicker for me. I will say I believe in what Tony Robbins says and many of the other speakers, but as for me to go to a seminar and pay what I can get off YouTube, not happening. I think they get over on people and make a ton of money doing so. I believe in the message and could teach it and will continue to do positive talk on my shows; however, I will not be a tax write off for these rich snake oil salesmen. I mean no harm to those of you that listen to these guys and pay the fees, possibly, but before you go to another seminar try researching the failure stories as well as the successful ones. You may find many went broke as the joke speaking and selling you the obvious. Thank you, Sugar Shane Many people today cannot let go of yesterday. We have memories of course we do not want to forget; and many we cannot forget, but the past has to be left there.
We cannot blame the past for our todays. It is up to us to move past things and go on. Many think that because I quit dealing with a person that I am mad and holding a grudge. No, not the case. I have just decided to move on knowing I am wasting my time and no need to get on with my own life. I am number one and have to take care of myself or no one is taken care of, therefore, it is best to cut; for lack of a better word, stupidity out of my life. One thing you will never find me being is an enabler. I will help you if you want help and I will talk to you, but I will not be the guy you go to when you need me and not around any other time. That is why I give those people up. You have to come to the conclusion no matter how sad it may be that you cannot help or save everyone. Some people do not want saving, they enjoy the attention and do not truly want help. The best thing is let go of the hurt and quit Facebook posting all your troubles, no one truly wants to hear them, just being honest. We have our own troubles without hearing how you been done wrong and so and so left you, all the boo hoo stuff. I am sick of it. Suck it up, cupcake!!! It is life! Time to move on past them peoople, find new friends that benefit you and make your life a joy. The choice is yours. The Uncommon Sense
I am about to head out on vacation and thought I would drop a blog before we leave in a couple days. The world today about common sense, but I suggest we change that term to uncommon sense. It is a lot more rare today than many realize. I’ll give an example of how to use common sense. The other day I was accused of “using” someone for a gain. So, in my wisdom I sat down and thought it out. If I used this person what did I have to gain. I pondered it and realized they were very incorrect. I had nothing to gain whatsoever. Unless, you consider giving someone an opportunity to better themselves using them, then ok I used them. If you consider me contacting multiple times to talk and hang out using them, yea, I used them. This was a classic example of talking before thinking and not using common sense. I already had people, there was nothing they offered I had to have, in fact working fine without it. So, who was using who here? It is sad really because now that person can no longer be in my life, it is done and over. I could neer trust anyone that made such accusations. This is why common sense is important, coupled with tact, another lost art. I never use anyone, I provide opportunities for people to speak. If that is using you, stay home and watch tv. I will not be offended by your lifestyle and do not be offended by mine. In closing, make sure daily you try and use common sense, think before you speak and size things up. In the end this will cost this person a possible future if all goes well here at Sweet Truth Media. Check us out tonight 8PM eastern. If you do not laugh do not listen again, if you do share it for us. https://www.spreaker.com/show/sugar-company
We live in a world where everyone wants to please everybody, sadly it is not always the best thing to do. I am not talking about being unkind, I am talking about doing what protects you as an individual.
Many have family that always talks down on their goals, their vision. Yet, they continue to think they have to be around them. Why? Because of DNA? That is not a reason. I am not saying everyone will see your vision; in fact, most will not. However, not agreeing and fighting it are two different things. If they fight it the best thing to do is separate or limit time spent with them. Maybe you have friends that do the same thing. I hate to be the seer here; yea that rhymes, but if they fight you they are not your friends. Usually if you are trying to succeed and they are not you will not have to worry about it anyways, they will separate from you. I know this to be a fact as I have had it happen many times in my life. That is what makes friends and family different, family stays because they feel they are entitled to, friends come and go. My best advice for you today is the same thing Old Blue Eyes said; Frank Sinatra. “Let your success be your revenge.” I know I will have people come out of the “woodwork” once I get where I want to be, but that will be too late. If I cannot depend on you now as family, friends, or what have you, I will not depend on you then. You may see this as revenge, but it is not. It is straight good business sense. Why would I let someone into my work that was not there for me before? That would make me an idiot, and that I am not. In closing, watch what you let your mind dwell on and who puts thoughts there. Your mind is the greatest tool you have and you must guard it against filth. Would you let someone put trash on your plate and eat it anyways? Of course not. Let the same be said of your mind. -Sugar Shane- Wanted
Alive Not Dead I am Sugar Shane and I represent Sweet Truth Media. We are a small podcast brand now looking to expand, but to be honest it will take money we do not have at the moment. The old saying, “Takes money to make money”, is true. We need forward thinkers who have vision to be investors. We need people to have the vision of podcasting and where it is headed. The future of audio broadcasting is podcasts, simply ignoring it will not make it go away. While it will take money to get this off the ground, it will not take as much to start this as it does many businesses. We will not get into the figures here but if interested in an investment into the broadcasting future contact us [email protected]. We would love to sit down and discuss the options.If you know someone who may be interested in investing in us please feel free to share this. Thank you -Sugar Shane- Do you live in the past? Are you constantly thinking about
How you were wronged at one time and dwelling on it? This will destroy not only your future, but your peace of mind as well. Those people that wronged you I can just about assure you they are not dwelling on it. They have moved on while you stay mentally in the same place. You are hurting no one but you. Many have the same thing when trying to succeed. They fail and decide that is there future and never try again. They do not realize failure is the process of success. The reason I am different is I have what many lack..patience. I know it will not happen overnight and I will fight for it. If you are looking for fast success one of two things will happen. 1)It will not happen or 2)It will happen and burn out fast. Look at the one hit wonders we have had in the music industry, success overnight and gone two weeks later. They were a flash in the pan, I want to succeed like I came from a crock pot, not a pressure cooker. In closing, make sure you do not look to the past to determine your future. The future has not been decided yet therefore you still can mold it. -Sugar Shane- Many will tell you we are on the same level with the rest of the animals of the world, I disagree. While I do not agree with the mistreatment of animals, anyone with a clear mind can see there is a difference.
This not a religious point I am making nor an evolutionary statement. I am telling you this because we as humans are without excuse. Unlike animals we can have ambition to want to be more. We; if so choose, can potentially be whatever we want to be in this life. A dog is just a dog. Yes, you can teach him tricks, but that is repetition they have learned. You can have animals do their thing at a zoo,but then again how many trainers have found out that they are not as “human friendly” as they first thought they were? So, instead of buying every answer given to you; whether they be from religious or the intellectual crowd, learn to have questions. That is what makes us humans, the ability to reason. It seems many in this world lack that today. It is our job to have the right questions, then seek out the accurate answers. In closing remember this, very little in this world has been proven with one-hundred percent assurance. If you buy that then you may be a well trained animal, afterall. You want to succeed in life but you say, "You do not understand, I have struggles." Who does not have struggles? We all do. The ones that are the elite, the ones that refuse to give up they struggle too.
I said that in the present because reaching successs does not mean struggles cease. We will continue to struggle in different ways on different levels till this ride called life is over. You expect less then you have fooled yourself. Your life is not worse than anyone else's, in fact, if you are honest it is not even close to some out there truly struggling. I hear people complain what they are eating, yet they are eating. I hear people complain about their clothes, yet they are not naked. I hear people complain about realtionships, yet they keep going for the same type people expecting a different result. Albert Einstein; one of the great minds of the twentieth century, stated that to do the same thing over and over and getting the same result is insanity. I see a lot of insane people today by that standard. Are you going to continue to sit there after reading this and do the same thing been doing? You going to watch that Netflix, play that video game. Well, then do not expect anything to change. If you think someone is out there just going to receive a vision to come and give you a shot in life you may have a long wait. You want something you have to go out and get it. You will never accomplish anything till you are hungry for it as you are food. If some people put as much value on success, secuity and happiness as they do food they would be full today. Get up saying, "I am going to achieve something today! I may not know what it is, but I will when I see it." If you are going to struggle in life; and you will successful or not, you may as well go down fighting. Many would love to sit down and tell people; whether that be strangers, family or friends, their vision. Many do this then become discouraged when they are not as excited as you. Why? Did you really expect them to jump onboard?
No, most will not and the ones that do will most certainly will be more strangers than those close to you. They put up a front and say they support you, but really often times their true desire is to see you fail. Why do they want this? Simple, if you fail then they have an excuse for their own miserable lives. If you fail then they do not have to admit their are possibilities. Here is my plain and easy advice, keep your mouth shut! I have decided I am sharing what I do with those that want to hear my vision and I have cut off a lot of people from my vision of what I see down the road. Why do you want to share with those that lack vision? It like trying to read a book to Hellen Keller and then showing the illustrations. They are blind because they want to be blind. Keep your ideas to yourself and share only with those that can benefit you to pursue that dream or back that dream. You say, "You do not undertand, it is my spouse, my mom, my kids" It could be any of many people yet you try to justify telling them. All you will do is cause yourself pain and hurt what little bit you do have in commom. Not everyone you walk with in life will understand you, in fact, most will not if you have a vision that is revoulutionary. If you want to maintain what little you have with those peoople just talk what their ears can handle. The cebrity gossip, television and movies, neighbors busines; whatever it may be. Not everyone that walks through this life has passion for much more than what is at the end of their nose. In short like the picture above says, be true to yourself. Those others will either understand you or you may have to move on. That is how life works sometimes. You pick yourself up and keep walking into your vision. One day they may see it, no matter how late that may be. Many have dreams in this world, I dare say most do, or at least have at one time. We must study and understand why some failed at their dreams, either by death or quitting. I study people, that is what I do.
In this I have found what many do not have with their dreams is goals. The goals are to a dream what fuel is to a car. It is what keeps the dream driven. You have to have a plan A and a plan B, and be prepared with plan C in case they do not work. You must take the time to set goals for it gives you direction, it is your GPS in life if you will. Take the time to jot down a few goals you can do now to point you in the right direction for your dream to be fulfilled. Then move that way. Who knows? You may end up on the other side of that dream where it becomes reality. Many of you know that my partners and I are working on a podcast and many may not know where we are intending to go with this; I may be the only one with a clear cut vision. This Tuesday I myself will step up. I am going to start this week sending our link out driving radio stations of all kinds and podcast companies crazy. Many see this as an annoyance, I see it as persistence.
So if listened to the show, stay tuned. If not, join us Tuesday nights 8PM Eastern at this link:https://www.spreaker.com/show/sugar-company We will and you will be glad you listened. :) It is told we all have a breaking point. I agree. There is a point we all reach in life where enough is just that, enough. What causes this is different for everyone. It may be a death, a relationship, a failed career; there are many reasons this can happen, but it happens just the same.
It is not about if, but when we get broken. It is not about where we will be when it happens, but what will we do? How will we put the pieces back together. I see life as a potter. We are its clay if you will. We are forever in its hand from birth till death. You see when a potter molds the clay sometimes the clay will not mold and another piece has to be slapped on the wheel and start again. Will that happen to you, cast to the side because you refuse to let life mold you? You have to have key elements to be good clay; patience, dicipline, passion to name a few. Many have; I dare say most, have allowed the potter; life, to give up on them. The potter will wait only so long before it will move on to another piece of clay to get the job done. If you are broken you can be fixed. If you have someone to reach out to, do it. If not, look inside yourself and find something that still has hope. something that still shines through the darkness and be unbreakable. Many may consider us sale outs after not being FCC for so long, but here is why we have decided to change. While I like the free reign of beng able to not be FCC, we at Sweet Truth Media look to succeed. Many sponsors, or networks even, will not sign or listen to you if you are too liberal with your language. Maybe one day we will have that unchained sound, but until then we will still be funny; drop an ass or damn occassionally, but it is still the same shows you have grown used to and the content won't change, just less language in the delivery. Thanks to all our listeners and hope you feel better about sharing our material in the future.
If you want anything in life, you have to have passion; and without obsession there is not passion. They are like twins, they go hand in hand. They are joined at the hip so to speak. If you are not obsessed about your future, if you are not obsessed with your goals; do not lie to yourself, you have not got passion. Your obsession will drive your passion, and your passion will drive you. You will not have to have someone tell you it is time to do something, you will just do it.
I have never seen a generation like we have today. There is so many people on Earth now that want something, however, they do not want to work for it. They want to party and socialize constantly, but one day they will wake up in a two bedroom house; or worse yet, parents home, and have nothing to show for their life. It is entitlement, they feel the world owes them something. I hate to tell them this, but the world owes them nothing. Everyone is born the same way and we all die. It is what we do inbetween that counts. No one will remeber you for what you thought about doing, it is what you did they will remeber. Some people they will hang around negativity and think they can succeed. You cannot expect to succeed when around people who say you cannot. I would seperate from those people if it were me. I refuse to be told what I can do, I'll show them what I can do and leave them behind watching. Now, to the enablers; the parents, the siblings, the friends, whomever you may be supporting people with no dreams...STOP!!! They will never rise above the ashes of mediocrity, the laziness they have come to revel in if you continue to support their way in life. Use tough love. Let me clarify for you, I am not mad with people. I am saddened with the state of people. I cannot imagine living life without obsession and passion; even though I myself have been guilty of putting both on the back burner for a short time. I eat, sleep, and breathe my passion. When I am not pysically creating something I am menatlly creating something. My mind does not have an off switch; ask my wife, she will tell you. It is hard for me to even shut down to do everyday normal things. I know time is real and I know that same time can be a blessing, but I also know that every human is limited on how much we have. You need to love time, but use it, as well. The fact is everyone has a fear or fears, no matter what you may say or think. My greatest fear is to die unachieved. This year I will change that. I vow; not a resolution, but a promise. I will not be at Market District this time next year, if not sooner. I will be doing something I love, something that I enjoy getting up to do. I know this. I have already set my mind in motion and now I have work to do to get the rest done. I have demos to do to send to talk stations, I have writing to do, I have alot to do. What are you going to do? I am done with my soap box, just had to get this off my chest. If offended I will not apologize, every word I spoke is the truth. The best thing you can do is let these words flow into you like a salve and heal those wounds and say, "Damn it! He is right! I have to get off my ass!" I cannot do that for you, all I can do is point the way, it is up to you to walk it. I have a link here of a ten minute video; most of you will not even take that time to do watch that but you will turn Netflix on. If you wish listen to it, it may be your help. Thank you for your time. -Sugar Shane- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JMo2BU3GTA&t=312s New Website Check it out! RSS FEED & a Blog on its way!!
