My Businesses: The Mission Statements


RuggeD Productions

          In 1994, my boys (The RuggeD Posse) wanted to BBQ. I was eager to help. It all began an initial investment of twenty dollars. For twenty dollars, I became a part of my first party crew. I was in love. That year was my introduction to what it really meant to be a part of something. I was a part of a community. I was experiencing true cooperation.
          In 1995, I decided to take that same message of community and cooperation nationwide, starting with LA. Since then the vehicle has changed. RuggeD Productions has shifted from high school parties to adult nightclubs to commercial and residential real estate. It has shifted from promoting to production to building. The scope has grown from one city (LA) to one country (USA) to one planet.
          Through it all the underlying message of community and cooperation has only been perfected. RuggeD Productions is about strong individuals, families, communities and nations. Through entities such as RuggeD Publishing, Sloan Enterprises LLC, RuggeD Prime, RuggeD Premium and RuggeD Properties, the mission is to strengthen individuals, families and ultimately our world.
          The message of community and cooperation has grown under God’s leadership. Just as a young man has grown from helping out his crew to aspirations of inspiring the world, God’s gift of love and abundance can be achieved through community and cooperation. The mission of RuggeD Productions looking forward is to help community institutions grow as God intended, abundantly by providing plans and long-term growth strategies for small businesses.


RuggeD Publishing

Somewhere along the line, I realized I could write. Further along the in the journey, I realized I had a message to share. My journey has delivered me to a place of strength, peace, and love under God’s guidance. The truth of my experience is beautiful and meant to be shared.
          RuggeD Publishing’s mission is to inspire the spirit of abundance and love within the individual. One person, one word at a time the truth will be told and God’s message will be shared.
          As in all RuggeD companies, the mission is to inspire the world. We write about growth, love, community and personal journeys.

          Abundance, cooperation and Christ-like living, one word at a time.


RuggeD Properties
         
          Since high school, I have been impressed with the spirit of community. In my travels, I realized just how valuable that spirit is. Since about 1998, real estate has become vital to the mission of abundance.
          The mission of RuggeD Property is to build communities and inspire cooperation one home at a time. RuggeD Property seeks to build, rebuild and maintain communities across America as part of RuggeD Production’s larger mission of abundance through community and cooperation.

          Community, cooperation, abundance, Christ-like living, one project at a time.


RuggeD Prime

          As RuggeD Prime, our family (business) seeks to establish a tradition of improvement. Whether it’s new developments or rebuilding/remodeling neighborhoods; whether commercial or residential, RuggeD Prime carries the RuggeD family’s message of community and cooperation along with it. RuggeD Prime is improving every community if works in, one project at a time.

          Tradition, community, cooperation, abundance and Christ-like living, one neighborhood at a time.


RuggeD Premium

          Investing is about building a legacy. Investing is about growth. It is a tool for abundance and giving. RuggeD Premium is the company that achieves that goal. RuggeD Premium builds tradition, A tradition of growth, abundance, cooperation and giving for our (RuggeD) family and all of our associated communities. RuggeD Premium is not just about building bright futures but also blessed eternities for the world family.

          Investing in growth, tradition, community, cooperation, abundance and Christ-like living, one dollar at a time.

Me Vale Verga

Me Vale Verga I was reading the old blog about my fears. And I thought I might give an update.
I realized how valid what I wrote was. I actually don't give a shit. A year ago I thought that might have been a bad thing. Last month I actually thought that may have been a bad thing.

This past year, a lot has been going on. A LOT! It was overwhelming. I was stressing out. I started smoking cigarettes. CIGARETTES! I don't even like cigarettes but I smoke em now. I cuss a lot. And I have manners! I read Emily Post GotDammit! Hell I capped off the year by hemming up the Bar Back at work. (For the ones who don't know what hemming up is, that’s when you grab someone in a violent way and they can't get away.) I began to wild out. WILD OUT!

Well my vacation in Los Angeles did me a lot of good. Good friends, good food, good family and some great assed sex! THE SEX WAS THE BOMB! (DAMN Just thinking about that shit!) I got to take a break ... Where are my cigarettes...

Cigarettes??? I'm disappointed in you. No bueno. Okay the sex and cussing are you. But the cigs, not cute. Stop it right now

Does that mean you've given up the beedees?? Permanently?

oh, and honey pie, verga = dick, meirda = shit. just fyi.

I know you know some spanish. But I hope you know no translation is literal. The spanish version of I dont give a shit is me vale verga. Not literal

maybe it's an Atlanta thing cause 3 people corrected me yesterday.


Update #1 OK. I'm back. Damn that shit was good! And damn I hate smoking!
Anyway, I was chilling at my parents house and I was thinking about my life and everything that had been going on. One of the busboys at work taught me a phrase in spanish - Me Vale Verga. It means I don't give a shit. I began to use it quite often, just for fun. It wasn't until I was home that I realized why I liked it so much. Because its true!

Of all the things that went on in the past year, I have to say - my shit was straight. My lot had improved considerably. All the drama that went on didn't affect me negatively. Not in any way at all. Don't get me wrong. Some bad things happened. But in the end, it always worked out for the best.
I have to say it was my faith in God and all the people around who love and support me. With a hedge of protection like that, I can't be stopped. That is why I really don't give a shit.
Don't get me wrong. I care about life and love. My goals are very, very, very important to me. I am focused and you can never fuck with me getting money. It’s just that when it comes to the whirlwind of stupidity and insanity that constantly surrounds me - I just don't give a shit!
I'm watching the Chappelle show season 2 DVD and there is the puppet song on there - FUCK IT. That's my shit son! You know what I say - Fuck It!


I know some of you may be offended by all the cussing. But guess what...


Are you rolling your own cigarettes? Are you sure you're smoking tobacco? What's gotten into you? Ahh fuck it! Me Vale Verga, tambien

Marlboro Menthol Mild 72s. Yep I'm sure. Its fucked up but that’s where I am now.

Me Vale Verga !!! I heard it JJ, do ya thang. Be you and do what's best for you. Don't sweat the dumb shit cause those beads will begin to flush what you do care about and dammit, I better be on that list! And I for damn sure don't wanna be washed out. Just kidding but you feel me. That's not a question. I'm doing it again, huh? I'm talking too much, but guess what...

I feel ya folk! I say fuck it too. What happens is gonna happen...to be honest with ya, life is a series of ups and downs. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE! Even rich folks got problems...just like po' folks. So all you can do is keep it moving and don't let the past hold you down. Learn from it and keep it moving! OH YEAH...FUCK YO COUCH NIGGA! THEY SHOULDA NEVER GAVE YALL NIGGAS MONEY!



Update #2
It's 2016 and my life is markedly better. I quit smoking cigarettes 8 years ago. I'm making a decent amount of money. More important than the amount, my trajectory is amazing! My life is truly getting better with each moment and it's because of this philosophy. I don't worry about anything that isn't a life priority. No one and nothing can distract me from my goals. I spent my whole life coming up with good ones. 

This means that if your business doesn't have to do with my family's business or mine, then I don't give a shit about it. Don't bother trying to convince me that your MLM is in any way related to my mission. It isn't. It means that I'm likely to turn down good jobs and lots of money if it's going to take me from my passion.

I made a leap of faith some years ago. It's just now paying off. The truer I remain to being myself and focusing on my goals, the better life gets. I actually reached Kramer status. I fall bass ackwards into money with less and less effort.

Stay true to what you believe in. Everything else...

"Me Vale Verga"
