Ripped From The Bylines
Once upon a time, not so long ago, I wanted to be a journalist. The reasons for the desire were numerous, including it was the one writing job that my parents wouldn't complain that I couldn't make money doing it and I would still be writing. Best of all, I would be making a difference in the world. Exposing bad guys would make the world a better place for my nieces and nephews. It was ideal, almost utopian. Then Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President and the world went upside down.

Bad Business? Write a Letter
Companies large and small have special representatives that handle customer complaints. Within these departments, customers are able to advise on their issues in order to have them investigated and possibly corrected. Customers also turn to social media to voice their complaints and are catered to by these representatives.

Why Contracts Are Important
When I ask my friends about contracts, they usually go to their phone service contracts, and how confusing they are. A lot of contracts do have a ton of legal jargon in them, but that doesn't mean when you write your own contracts or use an attorney that they have to be wordy and lengthy.

Scared To Make a Step
We have all been there. You and me and my brother and my mom. The first time I stepped into a club it became my second home. I loved every sound of it, every stripper cage it had (Russian clubs get wild), so my first thought when thinking about my own business in America was to own a mind blowing club with a great theme of which would attract the same type of club lovers I was and would flood my pocket with money and my soul with satisfaction.
