Lessons Learned from It’s All About Pep

Filed under: Lessons • Comments: None

I was expecting to just be entertained instead of learn a few valuable life lessons when I tuned into the show. I really like that Pep gave Tom a chance. He just seems like a nice guy who would usually come in last just because he is so nice. It really surprised me and hopefully wasn’t just a gimmick for the show. We all have those friends who we hang out with and discuss dating or the latest diet aid.

This is a peek inside that kind of world. The most valuable thing that I learned had to be that sometimes this isn’t always helpful. A lot of the time the women will give horribly bad advice or talk someone into dating someone or giving them a second chance when they really shouldn’t. They are basically a sounding board who then tells the person exactly what they like to hear and then later when it goes bad they say “I knew it!” It was just a good warning to avoid such relationships in my own life.

Lessons You Should Know By Now

It seems like every makeover show runs into the same roadblock when it comes to time for hair. The person will look at the bright orange or blue in the mixing dish full of hair dye and be shocked. For the last time people, that’s not the color it comes out to be. Well I guess in some cases it could actually be orange hair dye so on second thought: it never hurts to ask.

Lessons Learned from Tori Spelling

Filed under: Business Lessons • Comments: None

There are certain people that just inspire you with weight loss success stories or in my case their entrepuneur’s spirit. Tori Spelling is one of these people. Granted, I haven’t seen her reality show in a few years because my cable doesn’t get that channel. However, just yesterday I was randomly thinking about where she gets her ideas from. It’s kind of comical like “I made fries for dinner lets start a fry shop. “I dressed my kids in clothes lets start a clothing line for kids”

The real question isn’t where she gets her inspiration, it’s where doesn’t she get inspiration from? I think that one of her problems is that she has so many ideas that she can’t always finish and see them all through to completion. A great example is how they constantly move homes. As soon as they finish moving into their “dream house” they discover that it doesn’t have enough space and announce that they need to move again. However, at least in business she is an inspiration.
