The Silver Lining in the Clouds

It's been another interesting week in the life of Magic Mike Coffee! Have you ever had one of those day's where everything just seemed to go the wrong way? That has been the case for me this week, it seems that anything that can go wrong has somehow seemingly hit me all at the same time. While I am no stranger to adversity it can be disapointing when you try so hard to do everything the right way and keep getting knocked down at every turn.
I don't know why but for some reason it seems that every time I try to move forward and pursue my dreams I keep running into the same problems. In this case, it's my car again. I can't tell you how many times my car has broken down right when I'm on the verge of making something positive happen in my life. For some reason it just seems to be the cross that I must bear, I take one step forward and then my car decides to go on the blink.
It has happened so many times that I can't begin to tell you how coincidental it seems to be!
Even though, I once again, have to deal with my car being in the shop, I am not stopping or letting off the gas on my Dreams!
I have decided this time that no matter what I am going to make it happen!! Everyone deals with adversity at some point in their lives and I am no different. The difference is in how we deal with that adversity. I have chosen to embrace it this time. I am welcoming any and all things that can go wrong with wide open arms. I am saying to adversity, bring it on, let's see what you got!! I know I have what it takes to make it in this world and I am not alone, I have God on my side along with good friends and family and I am going to make it happen this time no matter what and that's just all there is to it!!
For example, the day my car went into the shop I still kept my appointments at the office!! I had several new clients coming in for various reasons and instead of getting mad about the car I decided to keep on working!
When I was stuck at work for many hours  waiting on a ride I took the opportunity to talk with friends I haven't seen in a long time. Yes, for the moment I still have a "day job" and it's a 24hr operation which means many people will continually switch shifts. Because of this there are many people I won't see for a long time due to them working day's while i'm on nights. So, I realized that being stuck at work during the day this week It gave me a chance to talk with many people I hadn't seen in awhile and inform them of my new venture.
I even had to walk to work one day and hitch a ride using the old thumb! As dangerous as that is these day's I took it as an opportunity to get out and meet people while walking.
I used to just sit and watch T.V. on the weekends and basically do nothing all day and now, because of the car being down I am out walking the streets and talking to people I would have never met if I had stayed home or driven to work.
I guess what I am saying this week is that even though life throws you a curve ball you can still turn things around if you simply use it as an opportunity to learn or enjoy new things.
So don't let life get you down, if the car goes to the shop, then get out and walk, meet some new people and keep shooting for the stars because they are out there and you can reach them if you just try hard enough!!

I am happy my car went down this week, it gave me a chance to slow down and do some walking and enjoy being outside for a bit while getting some much needed exercise while meeting some new people along the way!
So if you get down on yourself, try to see the silver lining in that cloud of yours. Look around and see what you can learn out of the cituation your in and make the best of it, try to enjoy the little things and you while be surprised at how many doors will open to you just for trying and deciding to have a good attitude even though!

Print Copy Scan

As "cheesy" as it may seem, I am excited to have my new printer set up in the office! It's exciting to help people with their finances by finding ways to save and put money back into their pockets!
This is why I am excited, I know its just a printer, but the things it will produce are awesome because now people can see their numbers right away and take them home which helps them plan ahead. Most people have never seen their net worth in writing and now when they come in I can show them and print out their possible future for them.
To me its amazing that some one can come in with no idea os where they are financially and by the time they leave they now have a printed plan of where they are and see exactly where they want to go, in writing, a step by step plan they can use from now on.
As the saying goes, most people fail to plan and that's why they get stuck in rut. Knowing what your finances look like in writing and then having a written plan of where you want to go and how to get there are the most important thing one can do to relieve themselves of the daily financial pressure we all feel at times throught our lives.
That's why having the ability to produce a printed report, is to me, a very cool thing to have!
So I welcome all of yhou to come down to my new office and get your ow printed financial report and see how powerful it is to have your very own financial plan in writing to move you closer to the things you want in life!
Come on down and let me print your possible financial future so that you too will finally know exactly where you want to go with your finances and have a written plan of how to get there!!

Until the next time, this is MagicMikeCoffee saying, live your dreams! :)

First days business!!

With my new office I finally feel like I'm comming into my own! Its nice to have a place to work where I can sit down and start putting things on paper!

Today was great, I tok some friends of mine out on the town ad showed them how to clean windows. They were very excited to learn how easy the business is and they made some money along the way too! It allways excites me to show someone who is hungry for work how to go out and put some money in their pocket. Like the saying goes, "give a man a fish and you feed him for one day, teach a man how to fish and you feed him for life!" Today I got the chance to do just that, and I have to say, it was a lot of fun!

That's what having this office is all about, its a place to meet with people to help them with their needs and a place for me to work. I love it!
I've spent a lot of money over the years doing things that ment nothing, like playing poker for instance, If I can spend money sensisly in that then I can also do this.
People are asking me, mike, why do you have an office when you already have a good job, do you really need an office? The answer is, no, I don't NEED it, but I say why not? Like I said, if I can spend money on junk, then why not do something nice for someone! Why not have my own place where I can work on the things that I enjoy doing and be in a proffesional setting where I can meet with people and help them, even if that help may only be inspirational!
I think all of us at some point in our lives have had ideas we would like to work on but for some reason we never do. I know that in my case, having a new place to go to that is seperate from my house makes me spend my creative time more wisely.
There's nothing wrong with having a seperate room in the house for an office or special projects and while that's a fun way to do it, I've found that it doesn't work for me, I need a seperate place away from the home to come to and create.
I allways liked the idea of having a setup at the house but I've found that I tend not to have the same focus.
By seperating the two domains I enjoy them more, when I'm at the office I'm working and creating and when I'm at home I'm relaxing!

So that's the story and s far I'm lovin it!

Anyone who wants to come by and share with me ideas feel free to contact me through facebook and come on by the new place and let's sit down and share together!
If have an idea or a need then by all means let's put our heads together and figure it out!

Until the next time, live your dreams! Remember, the key is, just do it!!
