Business + Education
Equipping you with the tools you need to succeed.
The Cost of Being an Indie Author
Indie authors get a bad rep, with many viewing their books as less than worthy if they didn't manage to land themselves a deal with a top publisher. When a book is released, unless it is free or 99 cents, many people are unwilling to purchase it. Many are perhaps unwilling to part with their cash if a book isn't from a well known source, or receiving rave reviews. They are missing out.

Differences Between Private and Public School
In the United States, public and private schools exist at every level of education, from pre-kindergarten through university programs. Public schools are funded and regulated by the state and/or federal government, while private schools are funded through tuition and donors and are not as strictly regulated. There are many differences between private and public school educations in the United States, so it's important to educate yourself on those differences before you commit your child or yourself to attend one or the other.

Trying to Be an Excellent Waiter
The service industry is a quick and demanding place of work where workers barely stop to check their phones or have a glass of water. As stressful as dynamic, it requires a lot of patience, kindness, good memory, and skilled arms to perform any given task quickly and efficiently. But perhaps, the most difficult thing to do is to sympathize with customers. Pleasing their demands isn't easy at all, but our job is to keep them as satisfied as we can.

The Creative Mess
Perching at my desk, pressing the silver power button, the computer lights up, monitor assuring me it's getting ready. As I wait, my gaze starts noticing an assortment of brushes next to me. On my other side, a pile of papers, fully marked with ink and pencils sits waiting for me to find it a home. It is another few inches taller than a few weeks ago. Scanning the shelf, there are art books scarcely opened in the last half a year. Another shelf has containers of ink strategically jammed in place. Next to it, there is a pile of fabric with intentions of possibilities. A half knitted scarf cozies up to my microphone for when I eventually get to making a podcast or youtube channel.

What Are We Teaching Our Children
No doubt education is important—it's the difference between giving yourself choices in life or being tied down to a particular type of work. But what kind of education is required to breed success? Is the education we are providing for our children equipping them with the necessary tools to survive in the real world, a world without the protective wall of parents to fall back on? No, it doesn't.
