Do I Miss Cleveland?

By on Saturday, November 12th, 2011 | No Comments

In early 2010 I moved to South Florida. I basically packed up everything that could fit in a van and headed south.  Usually every time I would make a move I would go backwards. (When I moved to NYC, I went backwards…when I moved back to Cleveland, I went backwards.)

But I was determined when I moved to Florida NOT TO GO BACKWARDS!

I was sick of  having nothing.  I would not accept it anymore. I would not be dragged down anymore. I would surround myself with positive people who empower me to be my best.

We’ll here in Florida I did just that. I got rid of the thorns that were dragging my ass down. I had to do a lot of ignoring, take a lot of abuse and put up with loud mouths spewing negativity.

The first 6 months of living down here were hard but I worked my ass off…in a mobile home with my ex-mother-in-law. There was no space for me to set up my computer and work unless it was on a hot porch. (Believe me the porch was hot…so hot my computer would overheat. )

When I moved here I got a job within a week. I was promised all kinds of benefits and riches by the owner of the company when I started. He even offered to “buy” my old business. (That was a joke. Another Story for another day. Yes, there is animosity, I wasted a year and half with this company. However I met some of the most amazing people in the world whom I am still very close friends with.)

Anyway, while working a job that couldn’t even pay rent at my apartment, I built website after website trying to earn more income.

After not being appreciated by my boss and not being compensated for my skill, I left. I will never work for that dude again. I’m going forward. I won’t even mention or link to their website.

Now I’m here in South Florida, West Palm Beach, building my empire. I work harder than I ever did, but I’m determined to never go backwards in life.

Oh…so where was I?

Yes, do I miss Cleveland?

First of all I do miss my Family. My mom, dad and brother are in Cleveland. I miss them a lot. I miss my other family up there. (Even the ones that get on my damn nerves about stuff and tell me that I’m chasing rainbows. )

The standard of living in Cleveland was amazingly cheap.

To the ones that said I’m chasing rainbows???

Taste this rainbow…

A Homeless Man with an Amazing Voice.

The economy is bad and often we see people on the side of the off ramps looking for a handout. But for one man who holds a sign on the ramp of I-71 and Hudson Street he has a talent that has yet to be discovered.

Meet Ted Williams, he was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His obsession for radio in his younger years helped him develop a voice. Ted even went to school to develop his radio voice. But involvement with drugs and alcohol led Ted down a beaten path.

Now clean and sober for two years, Ted is on the side of the road asking for money.

Clearly this man has a great talent. I hope the exposure on my blog will help land this guy a job. He’s great.

“I hope one of these television or radio guys says…’Hey I need a voiceover guy or something.’

Check out Teds amazing radio voice.

Do Hotels Take Advantage of Spanish Speaking Workers?

By on Saturday, July 31st, 2010 | 1 Comment

Do big hotel chains take advantage of non-English speaking workers? You bet your clean towel they do.

I have traveled around the country and stayed at a lot of hotels. (I was a Greyhound Bus Driver for years.)

I noticed that when I was staying at big chain hotels, the housekeepers were most always from a Spanish-speaking country. They didn’t know too much English except for the basics. Nothing conversational. While staying at these big chain hotels I would usually start a conversation with the housekeepers. I do speak Spanish.

So how do these big hotel chains actually take advantage of non-English speaking hotel workers? Hotels are able to keep pay low for non-English because most of these workers are scared that they will lose their jobs. They won’t complain or ask thier superiors for an increase in pay. These are minimum wage workers. They work jobs that a lot of people won’t don’t want. But the reason for a hotel to hire a non-English speaker is that they won’t cause any trouble. They will come to work and do their job without questioning anything.  Also, a lot of these housekeepers come from countries where they were making less than a dollar a day. To make minimum wage in this country is a blessing for most of them. But from the information that I have gathered they are being taken advantage of.

I was even told by one of these hotel workers that if they got an application from an English speaking average Jane, they would rip up the application. Why? The housekeepers needed the hours to work. Hiring another worker may spread the work thin. The other reason was that they didn’t want someone to work their that didn’t understand their language.

I tend to believe there is a reason these hotels hire these hardworking people…to keep costs low. I’m all for capitalism , but to take advantage of people that work hard is a shame.

Don’t forget to leaves these housekeepers a tip.

West Palm Beach SEO Firm

It’s sad that I’m leaving Cleveland next week. I’ll surely miss it. I’m moving to Florida. I know that as soon as I leave, the Cavs will win the NBA championship.

While I’m in Florida, I would love to land a job with a West Palm Beach SEO firm or a West Palm Beach internet marketing company. Why? Internet marketing and search engine optimization have been hobbies of mine as some of you know.

You already know that I’m addicted to social media. The Daily Bragger is everywhere.

I have done some SEO and internet marketing work in the past for friends and paid clients. Now it’s time to move from the winters of Cleveland and head to sunny West Palm Beach, Florida.

I’m excited to move to the West Palm Beach area and further my career in social media optimization, search engine optimization or internet marketing while in Palm Beach, Florida.

So hopefully things will work out for my family and I. Maybe I can use my social media marketing, SEO and internet marketing experience to establish a career in West Palm Beach. Wish me luck.
