With finding your significant other it's
often said that there is someone for everyone. If we were to apply that same
theory to business, there's a MARKET for everyone...... you just have to
find it. I can assure you that anyone that has assembled an idea and
vision that they're looking to execute, attached to it were the words "I
know there's a market out there for me." This is true but the question
is……..how are you going to find it? Well, if this is any
consolation, we have an entire planet full of billions of people that are
looking to embrace something new. It certainly poses a challenge in determining
how you will link your product with a market that has yet to be discovered.
First, what I believe will help you in finding your
market is having INTEGRITY behind what you intend on putting in the hands of
others. Ask yourself—is this product an honest expression of both ME and my
TALENTS. Secondly, why am I doing this? The answers to these questions will
begin to create a collage of purpose that others can then connect and
identify with. As a result, that connection will enable you to carve a niche in
what you're doing—it is then that you will realize that you have found your
market. Lastly, we all desire success but we very seldom take the time to
understand why we want it and how will we reach others to obtain it. Remember,
we all differ in preference which is why there's a market for everyone!

Different TIMES call for Different MEASURES....the safety of your CHILD" on LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO
BY AL KING
On our latest segment of LET IT BEKNOWN LIVE RADIO we discussed some of the perils surrounding our children and the preventive measures along with systems we need in place to protect them. As Parents, we generally go into each day not expecting the unexpected believing that things can happen to someone else and not us. We allow our children to have certain responsibilities that are contributed by economic hardships or the lack of resources—this is reason why there are so many "Latch Key" Kids. Each day, these children go home from school alone with the parent praying for their daily safety. They are then left unsupervised until a parent makes it home from their day of work. As soon as something catastrophic happens in society it causes us to react, think and revamp the systems we have in place. Listen to our radio discussion on this hot topic........... http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letitbeknownlive/2011/07/21/different-times-call-for-different-measures-child-safety

"I Love Him/Her BUT My Family Hates Them"
Last night on "LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE" RADIO we discussed the odd dynamic of being in a relationship and your spouse's family doesn't like you. Without realizing, we set a tone at the beginning of a relationship when we bring our significant other around family looking for their validation. Everything is all good if everyone likes them BUT there's only an issue when that feedback is not in their favor. One thing that can be a detriment to your relationship is sharing negative information about your spouse to your family. Over time, we have turned them against our spouse without even realizing it.

"Don't Allow COMPLACENCY to Win"
BY AL KING
As you continue to swim in a state of oblivion, everything around you is moving while your personal world has come to a halt. Welcome to the dismal world of Complacency where one has allowed life to stand still and possibly pass them by. Reaching this point is provoked by circumstances, challenges and adversity. How we face up to them quickly determines the overall outcome. Let me give you a few for your thoughts...... a lost of a job, the demise of a long-term relationship or the lost of drive and motivation by rejecting life and accepting DEFEAT. There is now an interpretation of stagnation as being an alternative to living which is not the case. This cop out to accept things for how they have fallen is an easy way out. As excuses are made, the solution is neglected.
Whatever it is that brought to this space it is now time to find your way out of this predicament. You can remain in this position without any resistance or you can man/woman up. We tend to harp on the problem, cry over spilled milk only because complaining gives you some form of gratification. It is often said.... "If you don't like where you are in your life, you must change it." The cure is INSPIRATION............ seeking out what will feed your spirit. There is peace in knowing that the things you come in direct contact with will only promote your wellness. It would even be wise to change your element, get into a different zip code and change habitats. Go outside of what you have been conditioned to and gain some discomfort. Get around some new people with different voices because being around the same will not spark new energy but instead old emotions. Before you know it you'll begin to feel the world move with you as you come out of that shell of dismay, making way for a rebirth of new positive perspectives.
Re-evaluate, Reset and Revamp!

"VIOLENCE AMONG THE YOUTH IN AMERICA" on LET IT BE KNOWN LIVE RADIO
BY AL KING
Across the country, we are dealing with a wide rash of senseless violence that is plaguing our cities among the youth. Statistically, at an alarming rate there are fifteen teens that are killed daily by another teen. Another issue is that there are 750,000 teens that end up in emergency rooms due to violence related injuries. With this ongoing issue, lives are lost and families are forever damaged. Society is then left to face the perils that these heinous acts bring resulting in the unnecessary loss of life. In doing this research on teen violence, it was very disturbing to find that in the African-American community homicides are the leading cause of death among teens. The reality of it all is that we have a huge problem, one that can't be ignored but must be combated. We need solutions, beginning with adults and parents creating positive templates for the youth to follow.
This show topic garnered alot of listeners and interesting callers that chimed in and provided their colorful input.....Listen here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/letitbeknownlive/2011/07/07/stop-the-violence-among-the-youth-in-america

"GROWN BOYS"
Dear Men...........Contrary to popular belief, your anatomy is not the only thing that substantiates you being a Man. There is much more to it—manhood does encompass your beliefs, ideal's, values, perspective's and actions. It's then his responsibility to carry a demeanor that doesn't contradict all of those components. This blog post is based on my reaction of constantly hearing so many Women express their disdain toward men. Emphatically, they believe that men have opted to remain or regress to being—GROWN BOYS.
A "Grown Boy"...... A man (physically) but the other attributes of his manhood have not been developed. Yet, despite being immature and undeveloped, he in his mind feels there is nothing wrong with him. One strong factor depriving many of our men of their necessary growth is never having a man or a father in their life to teach them how to be a man. Either he is an absentee father or one that is ineffective, either way he has failed. As a result, year after year you get a person that has sustained the behavior of a teenager, refusing to grow up. By avoiding responsibility and having no inclination of their role as a man they create pressure for everyone associated with them.
As he enters the world to date and co-exist with women, she has to deal with and inherit the burden and responsibility of re-raising him. She's also forced to assume his role because he has chosen to relinquish it on his own. Men must understand that if you don't want to be the man, she will unhappily take over where you left off. To add more insult to injury, when these men procreate and have their own sons they pass on the same antics to them—That is how the ongoing cycle of infectious behavior becomes, Generational Curses.
Ladies, I do feel your pain and acknowledge your struggles but I'm going to end on this note..... I do think that some of you continue to make these "Grown Boys" worse by pacifying them instead of challenging them. Think about it!
