We came, we saw and we rode everything…..twice! Six Flags was a blast. The park was not busy at all, practically empty. I think the longest line was about 10 minutes, and that was for Goliath and Superman. The weather was great, not too cold or too hot. I have to say it couldn’t have been much better!
So, as I said in my last post, I’ve got family in town. My cousin, Amy is here and probably for good. I’m hiring her as an assistant to help me with my day to day operations. Answering the phone, setting up jobs, giving price quotes, that sort of thing.
Amy is recently divorced and needs a life change. The divorce left her depressed and in a huge amount of debt. Creditors are calling her everyday and the stress is enough to overwhelm anyone . She’s getting her life back together with the help of Debt Counseling and a strong will to go on. With attorney’s fees, and several bills now in collections, she certainly needs help consolidating her debt and she is taking the first steps to a new stress and debt free life. We’re starting with a day trip to Six Flags. I told her the day was on me and to consider it a signing bonus.
I’ve got family in from Illinois and we’re taking a road trip to Atlanta today. We’re going to head out in about an hour to get to Six Flags right when it opens. I’ll renew my season pass, because it costs less than admission for two days. A season pass will get you into any Six Flags park in the country as many times as you want. I would go every day if I could. Goliath, here we come!
Here’s a little more about how to make more money working in the entertainment industry. More specifically at a bar or nightclub. In the clubs, everyone is working for tips, including your friendly neighborhood DJ. Thats not to say we don’t get a paycheck but the real money is in the tips. Working in a good establishment, a bartender or server can make a few hundred dollars in one night just in tips.
The first way is to be friendly and personable. The second is speed. The more people you can serve, the more people that can tip you. One of the biggest factors in maximizing you money is how you look and carry yourself. Be clean and well dressed. Have your clothes neat an ironed and for the ladies make sure your hair and makeup looks good.
No one is perfect and you don’t have to be a “10″ to make money. Plenty of people have acne and there are treatments for it. I hear a lot of people say they use Proactiv Solution . I’ve personally seen the difference that it makes. Even if you weren’t born with perfect skin, with treatment it can be cleared up and no one will know the difference. You can find plenty of info at acne.com.
Finally, attitude is everything and everyone has bad nights. Don’t let them get you down. You can even try changing your look because when you feel better about yourself everyone around you will know.
My girlfriend’s son, David has been taking karate lessons for about a year. He is 7 years old and is progressing well. Every Wednesday night he learns something new that he wants to try out on me. Throws, holds , striking, he does it all quite well for his age. When he first started, Katie didn’t think he would stick with it but he certainly has. He’s now begun expressing interest in pro wrestling and mixed martial arts. I think it’s great. I was on the wrestling team in high school and later had a short stint as a professional wrestler.
His dojo has all the necessary training gear, but he doesn’t have much to work with at home. Surfing through the web, I found a great site for Martial Arts Gear . Asian World of Martial Arts Inc. has everything he could ever need and then some. They carry everything from uniforms to workout equipment and even instructional books and DVD’s. AWMA also carries a full line of Mixed Martial Arts and boxing gear as well. Just a little while ago, I ordered some breakable boards boards for him. I think he’ll love them.
He wants a wrestling ring but he’s going to have to wait a few years and continue showing interest before I shell out that kind of money and give up my garage.
