50 Cent's Baby Mama Goes From $25K Per Month To $6,700 Per Month...


Last week, I heard on the radio that Rap Superstar 50 Cent's, baby moms continuously asked him for money until they went to court and she got the surprise of her life... she was already getting $25,000 per month, which is more than enough money... but she wanted $50,000 per month, well they reduced the payments down to $6,700 per month. I bet she wish she would have kept her mouth shut, you can't get too greedy. I don't get why she was trying to get more money, but thats how it goes... maybe she'll learn something:-)

Young Entrepreneur At Age 12


Last night, I was reading "Ebony Magazine" for March 2008 and I ran across an article about a young lady, Leanna Archer (12 years old) who started her own Hair Care Product Company when she was 8 years old. The product that she has is an homemade hair dressing recipe going two generations back, and Leanna was determined to start a company selling the product. Leanna constantly begged her parents to let her start Leanna's Inc... and they finally gave in to what has now become a successful company, especially for such a young child. You can view and order products from Leanna's Inc. at http://www.leannashair.com/

Favorite Books So Far



OK, I just wanted to share two of my best books with you guys... 1st we have "Blossom" by Queen Pen. I am actually reading this book again, for the 3rd time and believe me its that good. Now, I heard that a sequel is supposed to be coming out early this year... this is the Club Review from www.blackexpressions.com
"
We all know Queen Pen for her rap game, but now she's trying on a different hat—author. Her debut novel, Blossom is a wake-up call for young girls everywhere.


Blossom is a beautiful young woman who meets and falls for Dude, an older, smooth-talking street hustler. Lavished with expensive jewelry, exotic getaways, and a fierce wardrobe, Blossom gets a taste of "the good life." But she also gets a taste of danger, when she and Dude become the targets of a killer. Worse yet, after the tragic loss of someone close to him, Dude lashes out at Blossom and his love turns cold. Deceit becomes the new foundation of their relationship, and Blossom is left feeling abandoned and betrayed. Will love survive the pull of the streets?"


Now my second fav is "Fabulosity" by Kimora Lee Simmons, in which I am still reading... but it is a complete guide to becoming a successful, independent woman. Courtesy of www.harpercollins.com
"Fabulosity (n): 1: a state of everything that is fabulous 2: a quality ascribed to that which expresses glamour, style, charisma, power, and heart

Kimora Lee Simmons knows what it means to have fabulosity -- and she wants to tell you how to get it.

In this empowering new book, Kimora -- a top model, wife of hip-hop legend Russell Simmons, mother to two daughters, a national media presence, and president and creative director of the multimillion-dollar Baby Phat company -- shares her personal secrets of success and fabulosity.

Kimora knows that in today’s ultracompetitive world, it’s not enough for women just to be smart or dress well. With too much to do and competition everywhere, the savvy woman must know how to combine feminine glamour with professional power, business ambition with personal values, and confidence with heart. Kimora is the living picture of all these things.

What are Kimora’s secrets to achieving her goals, her signature fabulosity? One is her ability to identify and build upon her own unique talents and strengths. In Kimora’s case, she brilliantly combined the two worlds she knows best -- the high fashion and hip-hop scenes -- to create Baby Phat, her ultrasuccessful hip-hop inspired lifestyle brand.

How do you uncover and develop your own special talents? Kimora shares her step-by-step guide to achieving your wildest dreams, including her 16 laws of success, which cover everything you need to become the woman you want to be.

Whether you’re college-educated or street smart, just starting out or at the top of your game, Fabulosity has something to say to you. Learn how to cultivate Power, Independence, Confidence, and Positivity in everything you do, whether it’s finding Mr. Right, snagging that corner office, or rocking the latest fashion trend. Packed with useful lessons and Kimora’s personal tips, this book will be your instruction manual to empowering yourself, turning your individual talents into permanent success, and unleashing your inner fabulosity."


So, make sure you guys check these titles out... they are very good for young ladies like myself... "Blossom" is a Novel that many young ladies in the urban community can relate to, and yet "Fabulosity" is like an urban self help book for young ladies... learn and enjoy reading!

Make Money On Your Own Terms (Legally)

This is something else that came to my mind this week, and a lot of people don't realize that they can actually make money working for them self... it takes time and energy to think about what you would want to do, but its very achievable. For example, myself and my mom... the both of us work together on anything that we do, but we started using what we had and made it a Full- Time job... we have a reliable car, so we started a courier service... you have access to the internet and your pretty good with writing or speaking about a subject, so you start a blog... I'm very good at dancing and modeling, so I started an exotic dance service, and so forth. So, what I'm basically saying is if you have an entrepreneur spirit, determined to find your own hustle, then evaluate yourself... ask yourself, "what am I good at?"... and you should more than likely come up with a way to make money without working for someone else. You would find out that you have more peace of mind, you feel confident, and you make more money that way too. Another example that I would like to use is Ashley Qualls (17) whom is from Michigan, and started a website doing what she loved, and thats designing Myspace Layouts... but her website ended up becoming a multi- million dollar website, in which she invested $8. So, why don't you make your hobby make you a six figure, or even more income... anyone can do it:-)

Random Thoughts On Music

Whats up people!! This topic just popped in my head, my brother (17) and I are always arguing about how music is these days... I mean I love music, and love to listen to the new music these days (I know I'm Only 20)... but it really isn't the same, with the exception of T.I., Beyonce', Alicia Keys, Common, and some others... but I mostly remember the 90's and like the groups like Jodeci, Xscape, TLC, SWV, are no longer, but those of that time could actually sing... it seems like if you look like America wants you to, then you get a record deal and those that have true talent can never share it with the world(Dominique Young Of Making The Band 3). Now, I love my Rap and RnB (RnB really sucks now though), but if you look at the Pop and Rock Genre, you can see why I'm concerned. So many young Pop and Rock singers are getting so much recognition, but there is no true talent... people are always talking about the T Pain effect, most Pop and Rock artist use that (Britney Spears, Ashlee Simpson,Lindsey Lohan, Hillary Duff, etc), not to mention they go to rehab all the time, but why is it that no one lets America know that there is no reason for them to be making music, there are plenty of truly gifted talented people out there that deserve to be out there. Thats just something that popped in my head, but I will TTYL:-)
