JSW Media Group

So in an effort to make my life easier, I have created a blog that is specifically for company news only. It's still under construction, but Check it out each day for happenings, news and events. JSW Pulse

This blog will continue to be my creative outlet to the world. Also, on an unrelated note, RIP HOM Nightclub...one of my favorite spots has closed its doors...sad.

"Creativity is a Drug I can't live without"

Happy Monday

Monday mornings are always rough for me, not just because it is the start of the traditional work week (which doesn’t really apply to me because when you own a business, work full time and freelance write, you work 24/7) but because it means that everything that I didn’t get a chance over weekend is now piled on my plate first thing Monday…I refuse to complain, however, this is the life I chose—and I love it. Call me a workaholic, glutton for punishment or any other interesting moniker, but at the end of the day, I’m here in this place….and happy to be here.

Anyway, one of the things I was able to do this weekend was solidify my CIAA event schedule…these are intimate, upscale events, so please secure your tickets early. All events will take place at PJ’s Lounge in the Epicentre in Uptown Charlotte. Expect to have a great time and to be treated like a VIP. Join us and truly party with a purpose.

A Very Good Day

You ever have one of those days that seems quite ordinary and basic on the outside but is actually quite extraordinary? Today I had one of those days. I'm just so blessed. I have an incredibly dedicated team, JSW Media Group is truly flourishing--I was reminded of how wonderful it feels to have good people working with you during this morning's team meeting. It was refreshing to see the eagerness, the experience the free flow of ideas and concerns, and the willingness to follow my lead, as CEO...I've learned so much about leadership over the last year. Leadership is about listening, really listening. Leadership is about setting boundaries, and most of all leadership is being able to trust your team to do what is best 100 percent of the time when the "leader" is not around. I'm grateful to have lived and learned from my own mistakes and the missteps of others. But at the end of the day, regardless of the circumstances, my life is good...matter of fact, my life is great.

So, on this 25th day into the new year, I ask you...are you making the most of your life today? Prayerfully, I will continue to live life to the fullest.

Until next time...Peace & Blessings
