King K Quote Of The Day

Today I had an eye-opening experience that says a lot about how “group chats” are being run—and why so many people feel like they’re going in circles instead of moving forward. I was in a group chat where job postings get shared daily. On the surface, that sounds great. But I asked a simple, honest poll: Are people actually getting interviews or jobs from these postings? That’s not negativity, that’s accountability. The post was deleted by an admin So I wrote another message asking why transparency was such a threat. Deleted again. And then? I was removed from the group altogether. Let that sink in. In a space that’s supposed to help people find work , the idea of measuring actual results was treated like rebellion. That’s not leadership—that’s control. The kicker came when a job ad was posted with a broken email address. Someone pointed it out, and the admin’s response was basically: “Not my problem, I just share what I get.” That’s like a chef serving you spoiled food and shr...

Some years back, if you got into an accident—say your car spun out on a wet road or you slipped and broke your ankle—the first thing you could count on was a crowd of first responders. Maybe they weren’t paramedics, but somebody would jump in. A stranger would grab your hand, rip their shirt to make a bandage, or shout, “Hang on, help is coming!” That human instinct to assist first, question later was the norm. Fast forward to today, and what do we see? The new generation of “helpers” are armed not with gauze and CPR skills, but with iPhones set to 4K resolution and captions already forming in their heads: “OMG tragic accident 💔 #Prayers #BreakingNews”. Instead of dialing 911, they’re going live on Instagram. Instead of compressing a chest, they’re compressing the zoom button. We’ve somehow shifted from first responders to first reporters. And here’s the sick humor in it: imagine gasping for air, looking up, and the last thing you see is someone angling their phone just right to...

Most companies think they’re losing money because of competition, the economy, or even “lazy employees.” Truth is, one of the biggest silent killers of profit is micromanagement—especially in the sales department. Let’s keep it real: when your staff and managers are scared to make decisions without calling for approval, your business is bleeding money in ways you don’t even see. 1. The Fear Factor Micromanagement breeds fear. Salespeople who feel they can’t give a price adjustment, a discount, or close a deal without begging for authorization stop thinking like deal-makers. They start thinking like robots. Their only concern becomes not messing up, instead of making the sale. Fear shuts down initiative, and initiative is the fuel of revenue. 2. Lost Time, Lost Deals Picture this: your customer is ready to buy. They want a price adjustment to match the competition or an add-on thrown in. Instead of closing the deal right there, your salesperson has to call a manager… who t...

We’ve all seen it—or worse, lived it. You dress up, put on that nice shirt, that killer dress, maybe even spritz a little extra cologne or perfume because, hey, tonight’s special. Dinner for two . Just you and your partner. A chance to reconnect, laugh, and share a moment away from the madness of everyday life. Except… halfway through the appetizer, the vibe shifts. Not because the food’s bad. Not because the service is slow. But because the other person at the table has suddenly disappeared—into their phone. Let’s call him Jake . Jake isn’t really at dinner. Jake is at a photoshoot. Jake is at a live performance with himself as the star. Jake is documenting the entire night—not for the partner across the table, but for the hundreds of strangers scrolling on Instagram . Picture this: while his partner is trying to make eye contact, Jake is tilting the plate just right for the lighting, editing filters , and then refreshing every two minutes to see who liked the post. Meanwhile, t...
