What Can I Learn From My Friends And Family?

 I've been trying to make money in different ways and haven't gotten anywhere. I've bounced between computers, to art and writing. My brother Bernard is an X-ray Technologist and he has a successful lawn business on the side. My niece Victoria works for HUD and she has a successful event decorating business. My friend *** works for a company that does printing and he is a successful personal boxing trainer on the side.  Another not-so-close friend works at the post office and has a successful hairstyling business.  My friend and landlord Jon works full time for himself and he has a successful moving business. His company actually started out as a shipping business. He also paints and lays carpet. My nephew, Elijah works for the FDA and he has a successful cigar bar with his business partners.  What can I learn from them?

There was a guy who was going from house to house in my neighborhood asking people if he could cut their yard. I told him that my landlord already has someone to do it. What can I learn from him good and bad?

Need a New Laptop

 Because my HP laptop crashed, I have to buy a new laptop. The old one needs a new battery and hard drive. Fortunately, the repair shop I am working with will be able to copy my files from that pc.  I should have acted sooner on the battery issue, and I should have had backups to the cloud, using a solution like Carbonite.com. It will be several months before I can get another one or have the old one fixed. While I'm waiting to get it fixed, I am working on my new blog www.rapconstellation.com.

Reading book on developing for macOS, iOS

 I'm really back at it. It's been a minute since I posted to this blog. Recently I spent time drawing and writing including writing screenplays. I had written a screenplay called Aaliyah: The Heavenly Kid which is a remake of the Heavenly Kid starring Aaliyah. A script consultant told me this is a lawsuit waiting to happen and no producer would touch it because I used Aaliyah (the singer) in the script and I used characters and plot from the movie The Heavenly Kid. Also, she told me around the way that you need a degree in Screenwriting. I admit in the past I have wanted to be a famous writer or famous author. Now I just want to be able to support myself. Why not app development. My background and education is in Computer Science. If I become an expert in macOS or iOS or .net app development, I believe I can land a job or start a successful consulting company. I want to thank those who posted positive comments on this blog. These comments have inspired me to continue to work to
