Customer service should be a class. No test, the only test is life. Seen some shit customer service in the past few weeks. See how you are with others, and let that transfer to your professional life, and see how far that gets you. Seen servers role their eyes for questions pertaining to their job. Gotten, just “I don’t know, and I don’t care attitude. Customer service has to be a priority when not only creating yourself, but a business, I myself have told a customer off but only when they are disrespectful. I do not mean they say anything demeaning, or they even insult you or your company, but at the point of threatening when they do not get what they want. Be mindful only in circumstances where there is threat of a physical altercation do you put your hands on someone. That goes for just life in general. That is one side of the spectrum. I am talking about keeping your cool when a customer is flat out screaming at you. To be put in these situations I want you to think to yourself, have I really done anything to upset this person. Of course not but always in the back of your mind I can probably do something to make them happy. Deescalating the situation before hand is all it takes when dealing with someone that is upset about how they feel they are being treated. Reassurance goes a long way, as well an explanation is always a way to get you talking and them to calm down. I know what you’re thinking, what if they insult you, they call you an idiot, they go after character, IT.DOES.NOT.MATTER. This can be utilized in a good way. Someone offended, or insulted you, understand if you’re working at a place where a manager is called that does not stand up for you, WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE. Company culture will define how you go about this, some cultures I’ve seen take it and it is not good for business. You cannot help everyone, and a company must be respectful of it’s employees. Of course unless that employee is in the wrong. Customer service is about giving the right impression even before the problem starts and a company that is able to fix a multitude of problems has a very strong history of repeat customers. Customer service takes away the customers notion that they are doing business with a company. You want it to be more personal, so make sure they know they are doing business with you. Sell yourself and the customer will develop a sense of trust in what you say. Which are very important to you especially if they work on commission. When people are treated In a certain way and shown a level of competence above others they are sure to return. Of course you will have bad days but just like anything else, it all is going to start with you and how you want to face the day. Can either be a good or bad day, choice is yours. BanGov Actual, out.
Define Your Wants In Life
When all is said and done thinking about WHAT YOU WANT is the most important thing. I mean what you really want. Not just what you saw in a movie and thought, huh, that would be cool. Something you may not even know that has been a dream of yours. You’ve been off and on between work and play and then the in between is something that has distracted you from even things you think you have wanted. It is the fuel that drives you to do things that see you differently. When you were a kid, you may have been called a show off. I was because I liked girls. Pushing myself was also an evolution of going for bigger and better challenges. First it is physical, then mental, then financial. When all those fade away you tend to do things because you think I am going to die one day and this is just what has been done from the beginning. You’re creating your inevitability before the world. The only thing you must do from then on is make it known to the world. Everyone is known for something. What do you want to be known for? This is how you focus and narrow your focus so that it becomes a part of your success. That is what people will know you for, you just need to believe that you can set yourself apart from it, even if you don’t believe, if you believe it long enough it will become a part of you. It will become your reality. So first, find who you are, second, ask, how do I become better? Back yourself into a corner so that you have no choice but to fight your way out. The further you continue to go towards what you want the more you don’t want to look back. Many roads will get you from a to b. Just don’t take too many roads that you end up going backwards. To want something, as desire is defined: strong, feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. With a feeling that has to be created we must want something for it to be felt. Love, as we have all felt, or at least the desire for someone. Makes me think, what kept her from me? what kept him from her? The desire was there for both, then the only thing that was missing as them forgetting to communicate how they felt about each other. When you want something or someone you can either think that they would be happier with or without you. You still have to make the call that you are going to communicate to them, regardless of how they feel that it is going to be communicated that you like them. Yes you may regret not saying anything, but then missed opportunity creates in your mind that you have to take any opportunity that comes your way. Becomes confusing because then your wants become little opportunities seized. You have no direction at that point, you’re just taking wild shots, which, in your younger years can be fun, and a great learning experience. As you get older, wanting to define yourself and what you are about becomes harder, or at least something that feels more rushed. In life, always make a quality product, especially when establishing yourself. You deserve it for the amount of work you’re about to put into it. Bangov, Actual, out!

Give Up Control
What binds us to the life we are living now? Are we happy? Is that even a prerequisite anymore. To go through life does not have any means of a pursuit. You don’t have to have a college degree, certificate of achievement. Hell you don’t even need a participation trophy to get through it. Big misconception is that you need others’ approval for your life choices. I hope those of you over 30 would know this but in this day and age you just never know what people need to hear anymore. Don’t need your parents approval, your friends, you’re kidding if you think they know more than you. Release yourself from others expectations and create your own. I have some time on this earth and it has always made me wonder if right now, at this very moment am I in the right mind set. Do I have the right mentality to move forward? Unfortunately I have only a few moments where everything has been in sync. I guess I had it once, and now it is a distant memory. I will spend the rest of my life trying to get it back and make it as consistent as possible. The consistency we feel keeps us in motion towards our happiness. Ok maybe not happiness always. Even happiness can be faked. Progress cannot though. Happiness is what is shared between people. We’re social creatures. If you disagree, then I would like to know what your happiness is. Continue to build who you are, piece by piece, laugh by laugh, cry by cry. Those around you are not who you need to please. They are those who are looking for their own journey. Nobody really has time to control others. Usually those who try have no control over their own lives. So what does it really mean to be in control? Since by definition, control is to influence, or direct people’s behavior or the course of events. Of course it has a few others, just look ’em up, I’m not going to do everything, BUT let’s just focus on this one. Although I am the one writing these blogs in order to inspire people to take risks, and make something of their lives. Maybe I’m controlling. Eh fuck it, get out there and make something of yourselves. That’s me when I’m controlling. I push others to be something they are afraid of. So don’t fuck with me, or I’ll push you to do all the things your afraid of. You know, like aspire to be someone you dream of being, follow your passions, or even tell the world to go fu k themselves while you work on yourself and focus on your happiness. Don’t focus on control. Experiment, enjoy the embarrassment. Bangov Actual, out!

Some Days Feel Like Mud
Some days feel like they don’t move at all. Almost like walking through Mud. Nothing is wrong but also nothing is moving or I don’t feel as if I am moving forward. Ami going backwards? I try to enjoy the moment, I try to look around, see the stars, and enjoy the cool breeze. Listen to my surroundings for signs that tomorrow will be different. Everything is still. Is this wrong? I feel as if I am not moving, I am dying. Then again we are all dying, but those who fear death and still stand still are very powerful to me. To be afraid of being still is to be afraid in itself. If we are always constantly moving it is as if we think we are trying to escape death. Escape all of our fears, and nightmares. Cannot run from them. It is ok to be still, hell I encourage it if it gives you some sort of relief. Don’t run from anything, you’ll be running forever. Challenge yourself, take a hit sometimes. Ever been hit in the face before? It is more liberating than you may think because now the fear has literally been beaten out of you. Take a deep breath. Take another one. Be in the moment you are in and notice things about yourself. Are you afraid? Why, nothing to be afraid of, or if there is then it means you’re running and you must start running towards fear. Or just stand still and let it come to you. Don’t waste your energy running from it, you’ll die tired. Instead plant your foot, and get ready to feel the force of it. You may just find what you’re looking for when it knocks the fear out of you and you’re ready to take on tomorrow. If the day is not over, then know today you can rest and play chess to be ready for your next 3 moves. Think, and enjoy your stillness. Keep calm and Bangov. Bangov Actual out.

Are You Struggling, or Complaining?
If you own a horse, I don’t want to hear your problems. “I can’t afford shit.” Ya well I want to own a bear, or tiger like Mike Tyson, but I don’t because then my whole life changes around that animal. So my dog will do it for now. It is amazing how people will complain about their finances, and yet they have a horse, boat, 3 cars and a big ass house. So be honest with yourself and evaluate your situation and what you own. Are you really struggling? Or do you just like having expensive shit? Nothing wrong with that, I have expensive hobbies as well. I just tend to look at purchases like a choice. If they are not the essentials, like food, gas, rent, utilities. Then I can wait a month to purchase that new suit, or watch, anything really. It can wait and it is not the end goal, it is only going to give me happiness for about 10 minutes. Things accumulated are not what defines you, so don’t think that the more you have the happier you will be. In my experience what is done for others is what will define me. That is all I will focus on till the end of my time on this earth. I have had many jobs, made money in many different ways, but never had I realized that a passion for inviting others would be this easy to continue. I’m a communicable person. I believe in opening up communication, whatever that may mean to you. Remember this is Bangov, this is your choice and how you choose to view your life. I am simply here telling you what I am going through. All the questions, fears, doubts, I am going through just as you are. So never think you’re alone in how you’re feeling. All I ask is when you begin your journey, or if you have been at it for a while, make sure communication stays open. The world is always trying to help you in intricate ways that if you just take the time you may be missing what is needed right in front of you. Challenging yourself is supposed to be hard, but again how you decide to view it, you can either make it your prison, or you can make it your game. The world you create in your mind should be what you put on paper. Then paper can be constructed to become reality. Bangov Actual, out!
Path Of Most Resistance
I feel myself battling with all sides of me. What I could be doing. What I’ve dreamed of doing and What I should be focusing on. It is hard to dream and think that you could ever amount to what your dreams are because that is the point of dreaming. Stepping outside your own beliefs and having the confidence to commit to an ideal of yourself. You will probably feel as if you are running in circles as I have many times in pursuit of a passion. This is when you need to evaluate yourself. Really take time to write down, maybe say into a voice memo what you’re feeling right now. Yes feelings do matter, despite popular conservative slogans like, “Facts don’t care about your feelings.” Which is true they don’t when trying to argue reason and logic. This is me trying to instill a passion within myself. Does not happen overnight and I am tired of people giving up when getting rich quick scams tend to not be what they imagined. Not so instant. You better be willing to work for what you want or just be content with mediocrity. Do yourself a favor and look at your lives today and just think 10 years ago was I here? If you have made tremendous leaps and are out of the situation you were in, great. Just realize that 10 years from now when you are better than you are now, you’re still going to want more. May just not be of a financial pursuit. As I have always told friends, money is inevitable. If you’re constant then money should come as you are inevitably going to keep moving forward with your life. Of course we have all felt backed up against the ropes with a mortgage payment, or a credit card payment. Hahahaha slap me with a 35 dollar charge because I can’t pay on time while I am trying to figure my way through this thing called life, sure go ahead. No big deal, and it is not a big deal but you tend to make it a bigger deal then it is. Everything comes down to you. Three things, What could i be doing, What I have dreamed of doing, and what I should be focusing on? Choice is yours. Do you want to follow your dreams? Or are you OK with the 2nd or 3rd tier in order to feel fulfilled. Of course, finding;g love, having a family is all important, but this is about you and I will SAY IT AGAIN! Help yourself in order to help the masses. Can’t help get anyone out of a hole if you’re in the same hole, or bigger. That is the interesting thing about paths of least resistance. Choosing yourself as a path when you’re the resistance. Bangov Actual, out.

Let’s Define Terms, “Endure”
To endure means to suffer patiently. It is increasingly surprising to me that old Merriam Webster, with just the simplest definitions. Can bring you out of a funk to give you a different perspective. A way of the world that was only undiscovered a moment ago. To endure, if your pursuit is one I would not say is for everyone but those who dabble in it will be the most grateful for it’s lessons. To endure when you are lost is to be as you are now. The thing is when trying to find life’s pursuit we just don’t think we are lost. We just tend to give up too early and don’t wish to endure the darkness of our own existence. Ask me what I wanted to do 10 years ago, I would have told you the military. When I got out I didn’t want to do it anymore. I only wanted to do it because that just seemed like my only option. No way I would have made it in college. I know, I have the grades of me attempting to prove it. I personally just came to the conclusion that I wanted to work. That was it, in simplest form. Work, work, work, money, money, money….. I think a lot of people feel this way at some point. Out of some notion that the money will fill a void, or a certain dollar amount will make you happy. Nope, it is what I have come to see as a degree of wealth, or a measure of means. Haven’t really coined it yet, but it is the measurement of confidence in the individual and what they choose as a life for themselves. What do you think you deserve out of life? What do your manifestations build for you? What is your end? Have to let go sometime right? I won’t decide when. Just when you’re done with the ride, step off. How do you choose to suffer? Are you alone? Have you found someone to suffer with? To endure is a life’s pursuit. When you find yours just always remember…Bangov….
