IF You Just Look In The Mirror And Really See The Truth You Will Know The Answer!!!

We all know the answer to the million dollar question. It is as simple as looking inside and really knowing who you are. But I believe the answer you will receive will differ depending on the point you are in your life. Heavy stuff right? No not really, because there is nothing like experience to bring things in perspective, but I also believe that in that moment, without regard of that, the decision you make if you are true to yourself, and fully engaged is the right one! Right? Get it? Because, the decision you make as long as you are true to yourself can always be shaped into something else! Right? We do not live in a static existence, we do not live in a one thing changes your life forever life!! WE DO NOT!! You may think you do, but that's what makes us all human. That is the beauty and the grace of this race. No matter what happens, as long as you keep moving forward, even if you think it is one step forward, two steps back. You will prevail. Too many people in this world live in fear of failure!!  I say bring it on, yeah it might be humbling, maybe that's what you needed or it might be transitional but that is what life is all about!! I know one thing for sure. When I am not on this side of the grass, there won't be one person that will say, hey, he didn't really live. I of course am claustrophobic so I will be cremated but you get the jist. I have had 5 lives or more. That is what you are supposed to do. Suck every last thing out of it, does it really matter in the end? Walk the walk and do what possesses you final answer.
Enough with the psychoanalysis, god knows, someone could make a million dollars analyzing what I just wrote but hey I really don't care. That's their gig, I have my own to play.
So I have no money and hellbent on buying this thing. I talk to everyone I know in business. After all the discussions I got a bunch of really good answers. What are You crazy? Come Work for me? This is going to kill you? You can't possibly handle it? You know optimism!!!
HA.
Well this is what I was seeing in the mirror at that time, and it was more complicated than that because, I hadn't yet come to terms with where I came from, and what my uncle said and all those things that affest your life!! Right. So maybe I was crazy but then I was really down in the dumps, amd I get a call on a Saturday morning from a really good friend in New Jersey and he makes me talk it out. It is one of the more difficult conversation's I have ever had and one of the most important. He was a business owner, who started his business in a garage in Brooklyn, NY. He had recently, after 25 years sold his business for some astronomical figure. He said to me, "how bad do you want this"? I said man I want this bad and I know I can make it work!! The next 5 words resonate in my brain to this day!!! "How much do you need?" I sat down on the chair in my kitchen and nearly lost it. He was going to back me in this, no questions asked!!! Wow, right! True F'ing story!! So....... on to phase whatever.... Monday I needed to come up with a detailed proposal. I had about 40 hours to get it done. Joe

The Espresso Information!!

Hi everyone, I LOVE a good espresso and it always troubled me about the lack of knowledge some people had about coffee and espresso, especially in the U.S., because that's where I am from, I am not sure this is prevalent throughout the world, but there are some things everyone should know about espresso. First off, it doesn't matter what type of roast or beans you use really. It just matters that the coffee is ground to a certain fineness. This causes the massive amount of pressurized extraction you get from brewing it in an espresso machine!! The massive pressure that an espresso machine provides is the key to good espresso, not the beans or the blend, or the roast shade. In fact, some of the most powerful espresso I have ever tasted is from a roast that most people would describe as light roasted coffee!!  You see the way the espresso interacts with the brain is very different. It calls into attention a brain function called Adnosine which releases adrenaline into yo...

By Joe Leary/Principal/Lead Source Digital Marketer's & KYC Consulting on LinkedIn Today I would like to explain just how much the roasting process effects the coffee we consume on a daily basis. I sincerely hope you find this article enjoyable, interesting and informative. I am going to attempt to explain the 4 major roasting processes and what it does and doesn't do to the world's second most popularly traded commodity. Before I get started, there is something you need to know about coffee. When coffee is roasted it goes through a process, within that process the beans are altered by temperature and generally gas, LNG, electricity and even wood. During this process the beans reach levels within that process that makes the beans, "crack". Depending on how light or dark they are being roasting they "crack either once or twice. This alters the flavor profile tremendously, so please keep that in mind while reading this article. I have included some...
