Your Nightlife Connection: thesocialcircus.com

Cognoscenti Management has begun a New Project that services your Nightlife needs! Check out thesocialcircus.com for a Sneak Peak of what we've been up to.

The site features a Nightlife Section where we will be giving you an exclusive look at promoters and others involved in the Party Industry in the DMV Area within PromoCentral. We're also giving you lots of Event Reviews, info about Major Parties, and Celebrity Pix! In our Arts & Music Section, check out videos of noteworthy performances in the DMV, as well as articles about your favorite artists and their appearances the area - in The S.C. Lounge. Stay tuned for our DJ and Bartender Listing Coming Soon, where you'll see featured DJs and Bartenders in the area and be able to check up on what they have coming up!

We know that you don't always want to be completely surprised when you want to dine somewhere new, so we've created a Hotspot Section that keeps you in the know about what our favorite, and not so favorite, spots are looking like. Even better, we've created an Event Guide that escorts you through the many parties and special events that are happening in the DMV. Click on a venue and find all of the events going on at that venue for the entire week! So, if you're looking to find out what concerts are going on this month, or where the celebrities are headed, check out our Event Guide today.

thesocialcircus.com is an Official Cognoscenti Management Project. For more information, contact us.

A BBM

"Success is waking up in the morning, whoever you are, wherever you are, however old or young, and bounding out of bed because there's something out there you love to do, that you believe in, that you're good at; something that's bigger than you are, and you can hardly wait to get at it again today." -Whit Hobbs

Vamoose!

Cognoscenti manages a fundraising campaign for HALIBS (Help African Libraries)

This year, Cognoscenti Management partners with HALIBS - an organization dedicated to creating an environment conducive to learning in Africa by supplying children in elementary, primary, and secondary schools with educational books, supplies, and self-standing libraries. Help African Libraries (HALIBS) aims to alleviate poverty and sickness through education for African Youths.

Cognoscenti Management will manage a book and supply drive, and fundraising campaign, entitled The Connect. The Connect campaign will bridge the gap between students in the DMV Area and students in the African countries of Sierra Leone and Gambia, by identifying a necessity for a global commitment to the advancement of learning. During the campaign, HALIBS will collaborate with students, organizations, and companies in order to raise funds, books, and school supplies to send to schools in Africa including: Wisdom Nursery School, Brikama Methodist Academy, and others.

For information about how YOU, your school, or your business can be involved in The Connect, contact Cognoscenti Management at cognoscentilevel@yahoo.com or 240-413-2770.

a CMM

a CMM is a Cognoscenti Management Moment..

Inspiration doesn't only happen in the morning, it happens at any hour of the day- and if you're lucky it happens all day long. One thing that I always try to do is find ways to inspire myself to be consistent and to focus on my long term goals - to force myself to look at the BIGGER picture. A lot of times, inspiration comes to me through art, and this evening I was inspired by a movie.

A great movie to watch is "The Time Traveler's Wife". It makes for an interesting way of looking at life. Time waits for no man.. It's best to find what really matters to you - and fast - and then do that alone. After all, nothing else really matters. There's something powerful in being fully invested in each moment that we're living- not taking anyone and anything for granted- realizing that the things that we do, what we stand for, our achievements.. these are things that make our lives ours! I want to be sure that I own my life, and I want to make sure that I'm living each moment with a purpose.

Mobile Visibility

Have you noticed that technology is starting to shift gears from the Internet to Mobile? I read an article in the NY Times today entitled, "Do All Small Businesses Need A Mobile Strategy?" by Lora Kolodny (March 5, 2010) - and it made to valid points while reviewing last month's Mobile Premier Awards at the Mobile World Congress.

In the article, she encourages companies to try to become more visible to mobile devices from making website adjustments for mobile browsers to checking to see if your company is listed for apps like Google Maps, Yahoo Local, Nokia's On Prime Place, Microsoft's Bing Local Listings, Yelp, and Foursquare. She suggests that Text Messaging Alerts may be a great addition to marketing plans (i.e., AdMob, GetJar, Mofuse, Mippin, and MediaLets).

Definitely food for thought! Plus, so true- My blackberry is taking over my life, and before that, my Androids (even now for my Google Maps App) were a daily necessity outside of phone calls and text messaging. I'm going to have to think on this.

Student/Teacher/Entrepreneur.. Same Thing!

In this day and age, every Entrepreneur has to be a student and a teacher all of the time - every day. There's so much information to gain from online and in print, and we have to try our best to stay abreast of it all. It requires a lifestyle adaptation- we just gotta do it.

We have to make it a point to write things down, be active in the pursuit of our goals, learn from mistakes, and acquire knowledge that will allow for growth and awareness. We learn to approach life with a pen and pad of paper; staying on our toes and in the know.

I will be adding Inspiration, Cognoscenti updates, and Commentary and Reviews of several articles that I read daily- not only as a resource to those who read my blog, but also as a means to document the things that I learn in order to chart progress in my own journey. So- Welcome! :)
