The Endless Job Search – Help Luca!
This is a very nice blog right? I think so, but i’d be lying if i said it made any money.
While i love working on some exciting projects, freelancing and helping out others with advice and support so that they can connect the dots to achieve their dreams; i am searching for an opportunity that can provide a steady income and put me on that path for a prosperous career.
To date i have signed up to 15+ recruitment sites/agencies, sent out over 50 applications, with specifically designed covering letters and CV’s… but, i have had no success as yet.
So here is the question… Do you know anyone that can help me find a job?

Industry Fakes and Industry Snakes
So what do you do then? Is the general question you ask someone after being introduced to a friendly face. Well that’s how they appear until they unleash their rehearsed lines from their invisible sack of bullsh*t that they carry with them. You know who im talking about; the relentless amount of fakers, takers, liars and snakes that continue to bombard us with their name drops of imaginary clients, fictional past projects and future ideas in their quest to jump on a bandwagon or poach on our vision to achieve the dream.

So what do we mean by ‘Communication’ then? Read the rest of this entry »
Jamie Oliver Gives A Powerful TED Talk
If you don’t know about TED already, it’s my favorite site. It is one of the most informative and inspirational places to visit on the net and this video will give you a glimpse into how, with Jamie Oliver speaking for his first time at a TED conference on the ignorance we have on food and our diets.
Just Another Chapter In My Story…
It’s been a kind of rough few days and i wanted to write something to help those that may also be going through any hard times whether it be work related, relationships, financial or anything else.
Our lives tend to be carried by emotions and i find that especially within myself, although my business decisions are generally based on analysis and are conservative, my personal decisions, especially when i am emotionally involved, are rash and uncontrollable. Read the rest of this entry »
SWOT Analysis: Your Secret Weapon
Now for the general reader, i should problem inform you that this isn’t the understanding of how the police break down doors and storm a building all guns blazing. That would be SWAT and stands for Special Weapons And Tactics. SWOT simply stands for: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
Phew, glad we cleared that up; now a SWOT Analysis will help you or your business massively because it will allow you to look closely at the foundations that build up the specifics to you or your company. Read the rest of this entry »
The Benefits of Performance Appraisal
This week i was set the task of creating a Personal Appraisal, so that i can pinpoint certain things about my character and about the direction in which i am heading.
Appraisal offers a valuable opportunity to focus on work activities and goals, to identify and correct existing problems, and to encourage better future performance. Thus the performance of the whole organization is enhanced. Read the rest of this entry »
Who Says I Have To Work To Your Schedule?
If you have read my blog the last few days you would have noticed that i) i have returned from a dormant phase in the blogersphere and ii) i have set myself a 21 day challenge to test out the theory that if you do something every day for 21 days it will become a habit.
Well it’s Day 3 of my challenge and it’s going well at the moment as i have been to the gym every day this week (twice yesterday actually), im eating healthy and im also, as you can see, blogging daily too.
Rather than bore you with the salad that i ate today or how many reps i did with a dumbbell, i think it’s about time i got you people thinking. Now how can i do that? I didn’t think of this whilst in the sauna this evening, as i have spoken about this topic with people previously, but i would like to get your thoughts about the working week and the infamous eight hour day.

21 Days To Create A Habit – My Challenge
Yesterday i decided to get back into the blog game, i was actually sitting in the steam room at the leisure center when i began to brainstorm. I hadn’t written a decent post in a while and where the majority of my readers type the iamluca url and expect to watch a new music video or free download, i hate to disappoint but that chapter has taken a leap off a 80 story tower block. If you do want your daily Urban Music fix i suggest you check out my good friends at Team Supreme, cos they have the Urban Music Blog game locked down. Read the rest of this entry »
Get Off The Bench And Into The Game!
On the 24th March 2009 i had the idea to create a blog. My words at the time in my first post were “I created this blog with an idea of what i was going to chat about, but more of a decision to just get on it and get busy with it. Blogs are happening and people are reading them… which means there are people that wanna know more about something and for me that’s an opportunity in itself.” Intuitive right? That’s what i thought… Read the rest of this entry »
