The Human Tragedy Of American Capitalism
As Donald Trump continues pointing fingers at the Democrats for our economic woes, now is a good time to clear the air about our economic system in the World today. The fact of the matter is that we have a predominately capitalistic economy but it really hasn't worked for the majority of Americans. Instead, only the top 1% of the population are the true beneficiaries of current economic policies.

Practically every other country in the world today is faced with one form of an economic crisis or another.

Intro to Kai Storm Books - The Come Up!
I've always said that my trolling on Twitter pays off, it always has and Thank God it always will. From the moment I joined the social media 'big dawg' as I like to call it, every tweet I sent/resent, every new follower I gained as well as every follow I clicked allowed me some form of jewel to move on and move up. Don't get me wrong, I troll all forms of social media I'm attached to and just like on Twitter my trolling gives me access to shiny jewels that help me and my business grow. This time, trolling on Twitter lead me to Vocal and just like any opportunity that's been offered to me in the past, I'm jumping on this!

How to Outline Your Startup Business Model With Lean Canvas
Startups fall under that branch of business that, if successful, bring the biggest money. Their world is cruel and ruthless. 50% of all new businesses fail within five years because of bad management and inability to follow through on ideas or investments. Even if your idea is stunning, fresh and extremely original, there’s no guarantee that you will make a fortune with it; a great idea is only one part, though a significant one, of a startup's development. Aside from a brilliant idea, your startup has to be well planned: in this case, your chances of thriving grow significantly. Having realized that, Ash Maurya, a successful entrepreneur, came up with the concept of Leanstack, a collection of resources and tools that includes Lean Canvas, a kind of business modeling tool adapted especially for startups that has since been utilized in startup projects all over the world.
