What Will You Do with Your First Million?
Firstly, your issue has nothing whatsoever to do with earning a million dollars. The real issue is between your ears. The money is out there, and remains out there despite your difficulties with bills, and other financial obligations. Some of you well know those scenarios, I’m sure. I certainly do; most of us have had them. But the rest of the world doesn’t care. They’re busy earning a living. But you ... your cellphone is threatened with disconnection, the power is about to be turned off, you’re late on your car payment ...

The Importance of Professionalism at Work
A lot of my friends on social media are angry that their purple hair and facial piercings prevent them from getting a job or getting taken more seriously at work. They’re overlooked when it’s time for a promotion or just never called back after the first initial interview. They complain and want to make changes in society or at least make employers more relaxed on this particular matter.

Flight Attendant Recruitment Process
Back in July 2017, I finally plucked the courage to apply for my dream occupation of being a member of cabin crew. I have studied the subject in depth for 4 years, I have 6 A levels all within the travel industry. It’s a passion of mine, I honestly find it fascinating.

Why Do They Call It a Blog?
There have been some weird words that have become popular as our century has worn on—I'm looking at you, twerk—but one of those that has always confounded me is blog. Who on Earth came up with that? In another life, a "blog" is probably a life form on an alien world that they encounter in Star Trek (Probably blobs of things, or perhaps an aquatic species that is ok with being named after something people do on the Internet.) But here, in this dimension, a blog is a website containing written entries about things. Here's the technical definition:

My T-shirt Business Idea
No discussion on my business ideas is complete without discussing my t-shirt business. I have printed out a “Denial is not just a river in Africa” t-shirt. This has gotten some interesting looks and my Pagan recovery group flat out laughed at it because they thought it was hilarious. That’s what I’m going for. "Bill W. sent me" is a subtle t-shirt to wear around an alcoholic just to make them a bit crazy, in particular those alcoholics who are unaware of how much they pound it. I have now found a made-in-the-U.S.A. cotton supplier. This is a first step to producing t-shirts. Now I need to find somebody who can make t-shirts.

Life as a Superstore Associate
I have been working for this superstore for three months now and life can show you what a challenge is. People come from so many backgrounds and yet they all have the same thought because why not? "He/she is an store associate so he has to know everything about the store so we better ask him/her all of out questions we've got!" And that is what a challenge you have to surpass once you become an employee of a big corporate monster that is willing to do anything to make the costumer feel better about themselves but they forget that their workers are humans too, but that's okay: your paycheck is your reward.

Book Editing Website Business
One of my business ideas is a website that people can edit books on. It would have a back office where you can log in. Then as an editor, you can edit a manuscript inside the back office using a program that allows for proofs with a track changes feature, like in Word 2017 or below. People would make money getting paid for their editing work done entirely online without a need to print anything. Authors have tendencies to procrastinate sometimes, in particular with regard to editing. Editing is what causes ferocious and serious procrastination tendencies. Publishing a book requires persistence, as well as writing talent, which reflects consistency.

So You Want to Be a Film Director?
I’ve spent the past 20 years making a living (occasionally lucrative, often precarious, seldom steady, largely rewarding) directing films. In the main, I've enjoyed a career I know I am very fortunate to have and I've travelled the world—from the North Pole to Saudi Arabia, from Kenya to Brazil. It has seldom been plain sailing, and at times I have navigated stormy waters, struggling to remember why I chose this ridiculous life, convinced that I’ll never work again or be able to feed my children. I’ve nearly frozen to death filming an expedition in the Arctic, nearly boiled my blood in the Arabian desert, seen the back seat propelled from a helicopter in which I was filming high above the Nigerian Delta and negotiated with the head-honcho in Rio de Janeiro favela. And throughout, I've worked with some of the most wonderful and some of the most trying people known to man.

What's My Life Post-Creators Like?
Since Oct. 25, 2017, I'd bid my farewell to those I'd met during my time at Creators Media. The followers, the colleagues, the editors, and, ultimately, my first paid writing gig. A gig that allowed me to learn more about myself as a writer more than ever before.
