BGU Podcast: A Few Encouraging Words to the Class of 2014







Greetings Class of 2014.

Congratulations on all of your hard work!

I am sure that the past few years have been sprinkled with both victories and setbacks.

Today, I would like to discuss with you the importance of being able to rock your strengths, leverage your weaknesses, and successfully pivot through obstacles.

You need to know that a majority of your future employers  will care very little about where you went to school or your GPA.  They want to know how hiring you will benefit them in the long run.

The pecking order of this fine institution will matter very little once you walk across the stage today. Old friends are great but, it is important to open up your networking possibilities. Solid business and social contacts can make all the difference in your career.

There is a world out there waiting for you to make a mark on it.

Listen to this  episode of the Bougie University podcast.

Bougie Girl University:Outlining Your Life-Long Key Chain by Bougie Girl Apparel Congratulations! We made it to the final lesson in "Overcoming The Loser Spirit Series".   What does the rest of our journey away from the Loser Spirit look like?  Are we taking the necessary steps to cut ties or at the very least, loosen the bonds which are currently tying us  to toxic people/situations?

We can start by jotting down  5-10 hobbies that we enjoy doing. Next, we write a brief history on how those hobbies came into our lives. Finally, we write a brief summary on how we plan to integrate these hobbies into the rest of our lives.  ...

Overcoming The Loser Spirit: Allowing Love To Flow Into Your Life...(Lesson #14)

Bougie Girl University: Allowing Love To Flow Key Chains by Bougie Girl Apparel Lack of  authentic love in our lives can make us feel as though we are staggering along a dried up riverbed. We seek this authentic love in our daily interactions and yet we still come up short. We  kill time in relationships and marriages because we don't know what else to do with ourselves.Far off in the distance, we can hear the rumbling of authentic love roaring down the riverbed. We long for the healing properties of authentic love and wonder if the correct dosage will be enough to fill the eternal vacant sections of our soul. And, yet as it flows closer to us we become worried that we are not worthy of such a gift. Immediately, we look for ways to block its arrival.
