Passive Income
A lot of people have different ideas of what it means to make passive income. I am going to focus on a few different ways to possibly make a lot of money! It sounds great. However, in order to succeed you are going to need to put in hard work and possibly a little bit of funding. Let's start by looking at industries that generate money.

It Has Become Death, Destroyer of Work Satisfaction
Listen, I know what you're thinking. There's that ugly word. "Survival Job." It's dripping with the kind of self-serving arrogance that all millennials seem to bathe in. A person ought to be grateful for whatever work they can get, right? A person ought to be happy that they've got food on the table, a roof over their head, and if they're exceptionally lucky, money to save.

Dealing with Creative Failure
I hadn't really thought of it, maybe I just didn't want to, but I was really bad at my first official design job. I had almost no training aside from one actual design class and one marketing class. Having been taught on the job, I still sometimes fail a bit more than someone who went to university or who has been working for longer.

Why It's Okay to Leave a Job That Makes You Unhappy
I believe in job longevity. I also believe in employee rights. Therefore, no matter how long you are at your job for, if you are not treated right, and if you leave work and go home and cry more times than not, then it is time for you to look elsewhere. I did just that on April 29, 2018, after being there for five years. Now I know what you might be thinking: 'You've been there for five years, so why not just deal with it and stay?' I tried that for almost a year. I had hoped that things would get better. They didn't. They got worse. I was miserable. I would cry at least three times a week as I was getting into my car to leave to go home.

5 Ways to Make and Love Art Again
Have you ever sat down to draw or create art and just felt absolutely intimidated by the white page? Whether you have or not, it's still easy to get into a rut with art. You might find yourself drawing the same thing over and over again, or using the same colour scheme. Yes, styles and identifiable colour schemes can be absolutely lovely, but there are times when you just need to shake it up. But, for me at least, I can feel even more intimidated by trying something new when I'm already having difficulty with my staple.

10 Warning Signs of a Bad Employee
You never want to really see an employee go. After all, you’ve put time, effort and money into the hiring process, as well as their career development, and would prefer to keep every team member for as long as it remains profitable. However, if there’s a certain individual who’s sticking out from everyone else as the weakest link, it might be time to reevaluate their position. You probably already have your hunches, but if you need a little extra reassurance, here are some warning signs of a bad employee, who may need to be let go sooner rather than later.

Let Your Voice Shine in Podcasting. Top Story - July 2018.
Before a career in podcasting, I started off as a vlogger and blogger. I worked tirelessly and diligently as I would make videos and write entries to captivate one's attention. Vlogging and blogging did generate income and help me build my brand, but with the increasing number of bloggers and vloggers on various outlets, I became disenchanted and felt that I had to compete viciously in order to stay relevant.
