Words That Didn't Exist Before: Part 2

Image
In a previous post, I discuss certain jargon that were probably have not existed a generation or more ago. There are words that have different meaning. I just have discovered more words during my readings and research since I am a lifelong learner. 1. Monetize: If you want to earn revenue your business and/or assets then you need to monetize . You could. Entrepreneurial You by Dorie Clark discusses how you can monetize with different income streams. 2. Micro Job: I have been doing Amazon Mechanical Turk or mturk.com  for over two years. I performed various small jobs the pay from a few cents to a few dollars.

Words That Didn't Exist Before

As I navigate though this thing called the job search and money issues, I have noticed that there terms that did not exist a generation or two ago. No mater what age you are, you need to be familiar the following 21st century terms. 1. Underemployed. Of course you are making money from your job. But do you make enough to cover everything? If the answer is no then you are underemployed. Even if you are working a full time job with benefits and overtime, that's just one source of income. 2. Gig Economy. If you working a short term job or two then you are part of the gig economy. This particular economy is a new trend in the workforce that includes freelance, temp work. Diane Mulcahy's book The Gig Economy this particular economy in more detail. 3. Startup. If you are doing a new a entrepreneurial venture, that is what is known as a startup . You would plenty of these in this new economy and job market since entrepreneurship is on the rise. 4. Crowdfunding. Do ...

Makes A Lot Of Sense

People will always tell you real a "real job." I even wrote a poem about it that you would find in a book that I'm writing. Lately, I have been reading a lot books, eBooks, deep thinking, researching on my electronics devices and soul searching. The job market has changed a lot ever since my parents (Baby Boomers) , my stepmother (Gen X) and even my grandparents (Silent Generation) applied for jobs. Have you heard of the Industrial Revolution? Well, we are in now in a Digital Revolution. First of all I watched a YouTube video from Minority Mindset ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR9S2l7aI1g ).  I learned that getting a job is much riskier than starting a business. The way of . Prior to discovering Minority Mindset, I have been watching Alux.com. They have a few of the videos discussed the difference between poor people and rich people. It reminded me of a book that I read a long time ago. I forgot what the title was but it discussed the poverty mind. However, I will s...

Finally!

Ever since I've started this blog, I always talked how I was going to change the name of this blog. I could not come up with a name for this so I settle for "My First Blog." I knew I wanted to start a blog but I did not know what to name the blog nor what the blog is going to be about. Even though relatives told me to stop blogging but I kept doing my thing. I am very thankful the followers I have and hopping to grow my audience. After 4-5 years of blogging I have finally came up with a name for this blog. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present to you all: Waterfall's World . Waterfall's Worlds comes from my stage name Waterfall Adams. That's right my stage name. Now, if you know anybody who could design a logo for my stage please let me know. Thank you all for your love and support.

More Active

I have been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching lately. And I have come to the realization that I need to be more active. What do you mean "active?" I mean that I need to be more active in certain areas in my life. One of those things is getting physically active. Lately I have been walking at my nephew's school's track, going to a modeling boot camp (it's a lot of physicality to it but I will save that another post), and I am thinking about taking up tennis. I have already found a couple of tennis balls at a local park ( I buy more) and have already brought a Wilson tennis racket. Now all I need to do is get a tennis outfit, find a free tennis court and thing things and I'm good to go. Second thing I need to get financially active.  I do have active and passive income but both could use a boost.  Active income is money that you earn by doing a service. Passive income is money that you can make in your sleep. Is there something in your life that you n...
