Design
The design of the blog is vibrant and entertaining, which is supporting of the purpose and theme of the blog. The backdrop or theme is illustrated with stage lights of various luminous colors, which attempts to send the vibe of the glitz and glam of the entertainment industry. The site is created with a plain white background in order to show the simple black text and its font legibly for readers. The structure of the blog flows from title, purpose, introduction of blogger or author, along with previous archived blogs on the right hand column, so that the reader flows and does not have difficulty navigating through the site.

This audience can also target the fans, music and media lover. The target age can range from 15 through 35, who are inquisitive and eager to learn and listen. This age group is continuously seeking for ways and opportunities to make it into the industry. So this blog can attract the average internet surfer. This audience needs to feel like they are coming to the site for insight and strategies that makes them feel like they are understood. This creates a loyal audience to write and entertain for.

I have incorporated all I have learned into my blog by making the necessary changes in order to make it a very attractive, informative, and hopefully capable blog site.  In result, blogs are a great way to market and potentially popularize a service or product.

Words of Wisdom from my mentor, Russell Simmons!

Good Sunday To Everyone,

I woke up this morning inspired and on fire to share these tips with all of you from a well respected entrepreneur, Russell Simmons. Mr. Simmons, known around the Hip Hop community for discovering and managingg the Group, RUN DMC. Gglobally, he is recognized for not only his business savvy, but also his commitment to giving. Simmons has devoted an entire division of empire to charity and non-profit work. Russell Simmons is also the author of New York Times best-seller, “DO YOU"(I own this Book and love it.) The following are some of  his steps to achieving personal success in anything you do that was posted in Yahoo Finances from  Stacy Curtin in Newsmakers. I hope you can use these to help benefit your life in so many ways. Enjoy!!

#1 Give Your Talents Until They Can’t Live Without It
“Wake up in the morning and find out what you want to give as opposed to what you want to get,” he says. “Through this practice of becoming a good giver you become a good getter.”
Simmons gives examples of many of his former selfless, tireless and unpaid interns that went on to greatness, including Sean Combs, Kevin Liles, and Julie Greenwald, recently named COO of Atlantic Records Group.
“Those who focus on being good servants usually attract the most in the end,” he says.
Basically, offer your talents and skills for free and the rewards will find you.
#2 Relentlessly Pursue Your Goals Without Appearing Needy
Simmons’ law of attraction says: “when you chase things, they will always run from you.”
This principle goes hand-in-hand with principle number one by virtue of the more you give, the more good that will just find you.
#3 If You Don’t Love it, Leave it Alone
This is not only the idea that you should do what you love and a wealth of richness will follow, but the idea that you should only do things you are “karmically” comfortable doing.
“People can sell anything,” from bombs to drugs, he says, even though there are very serious ramifications to those actions. “I want to stress that making money just for the sake of getting paid is a pedestrian activity that you can rise above.” 
If you don’t love it, don’t do it.
#4 Let Go of the Results
“You really have no control over the results, you have control over the action," he says. “So make sure you perform your action and your duty well.”
In the accompanying clip, he explains that he has no recollection of his very first paycheck, but says he certainly does remember making his first good record.
“All I could think is ‘when my friends hear this record’ it will make them so happy,” he reminisces. “Do things you love. Do things that you have faith will make other people happy and that will give back what you give them.”
#5 Get Open
“You want to always be open, creative and fluid as possible, and never become rigid, old or tight,” he writes, encouraging readers to let loose and lower your defenses.
And if you're thinking these principles are easy for someone worth millions to say, Aaron asks him about that too in the accompanying clip.
The Joy of Giving
Simmons' list of his successes are deep but the endeavors most important to him may be those that go along with his first principle listed above. The idea of being a “good giver.”

To Approve Or To Dismiss Is The Question?

To Approve Or To Dismiss Is The Question?
After reading this case study, I recognize this as a performance management situation and need to determine by trouble shooting ways in how to identify the problem in order to either rectify the situation or take further disciplinary actions. My first attempts into correcting the employee and his performance is by addressing this issue with him. I would schedule a counseling meeting with him in person that would establish an improvement strategy. During the meeting, I would recognize and thank the employee for his services to the company over the past two years and that we would like to continue, nurture, and see him grow. Then I would bring to his attention the recent complaints and his substandard level performance. I would explain to him that we would like to help and identify the issue. After the counseling meeting I would summarize the meeting and give the employee his first written notification. If the employee doesn’t agree with the results form the counseling meeting he can appeal it and investigate it more in depth. If the employee continues after 30 days to continue with his sub par performance, I would then inform the employee that I would place him on ninety day probation. If the employee still does not change their attitude, behavior and performance
after the probationary period, I would advise the employee to stay home to re- think his situation and reassess his priorities and professional commitments at the company. I would let him know that he would be instructed to go home with or without pay. During and after the employee has returned back to work is when I and the employee would determine if he has changed his outlook and has had an attitude adjustment or not. I would instruct and deliver to the employee at this stage with a professional written report for the company and to have for his records. If the employee still doesn’t agree, the next time he would be terminated
