Urban-American-Success.Com, a self-help site

“Comin’ up as a nigga in the cash game, livin’ in the fast lane, I’m for real.” – Tupac Amaru Shakur

Urban-American-Success.Com, a self-help site, is for all the “for real” folks, the everyday, “on the grind”, “gotta hustle”, “tryin’ to make a dollar outta fifteen cents” folks.

This site is for the urban Americans who are, have been, or might get, caught-up in the cash game, livin’ in the fast lane, and are looking for a level of success that, so far, has been hard to attain.

The cash game forces people to do work that they hate and to live miserable lives. It drives the drug trade and the pimp and prostitution professions in every state. It moves the unscrupulous to theft, burglary, robbery, and violence. It causes the old, the ill, and the infirm, to work when they should be resting.  

It’s the sparkle in the bling, the glitter of the gold, the chrome on the rims, and the swagger in the stride. It’s sometimes the pride, and sometimes the wanna-be, but, it’s always a trap. And, it leads far too many urban Americans (especially those of color) to incarceration and a cycle of revolving prison terms, frustration and poor decisions.  
The cash game is the illusion that money is more than a tool, that money is sustenance itself, “bread,” “cheese,” “cheddar,” etc.  


It’s the addiction that plays on our fear of poverty, illness, and old age. It motivates us to trade the bulk of our time on earth (or at least the best years of our strength and vitality), the bulk of our thought and energy, and sometimes our right to be free, for food, shelter and the hope of security at some point in the future, or worse—and far too often—for the notoriety and feeling of power that cash can temporarily provide.  


It’s the urgency that pulls the trigger or thrusts the knife. It’s the crimson stain on the floor in the projects, and on the corner down the block. It’s the grime on the blue collar, the anxiety inside the power suit, the premature gray hairs, the short meal breaks, the long hours and the lack of time off.  

The urban American cash game is alive and well, and it’s being played out in every city in the country. It’s being played out in every home where there is more month than money, more debt than assets, where due bills must go unpaid, and fear governs spending.  

This site is for all the urban Americans who hate the game, not the player, and are looking for a serious, nonthreatening, self-help path to success. If you are willing to reconsider what you have believed until now, how you think, why you do what you do, and what you are willing to pursue in order to have what you want, then this site may be for you.  

Urban-American-Success.com is a self-help site for personal development, based in the principles of universal law. Through the use of these laws, yours can be an urban American success story.

While the book grew out of experiences as an elementary teachers for more than 32 years, it is not just for teachers. People of all  professions need to know that teaching is the most important job in the world. My aim is to raise the awareness of what the job of teaching entails.
