Good question, I’m thinking about starting my own independent record label for new hard working artists and bands. I’m not not only looking for rappers but all creative minds.
What is one piece of practical advice you would give someone looking to start their own business ?
Never play it safe, take risks, invest in yourself, eliminate distractions, surround yourself with a team of POSITIVE like minded individuals, and most importantly practice self discipline. You won’t always be excited and motivated to get out there and make things happen.Count on discipline not motivation. Never give up. If you fail, go back to the drawing table and see why you failed, rise up and do better. If you need to change strategy, do. But remember “never give up”
What do you find challenging about being an entrepreneur?
You can plan for loses but not failure. Social Media got everybody thinking Entrepreneurship is easy You have to have the passion, Creativity and Tenacity for it to work. You will be broke, stressed, and ready to quit at times. Don’t let social media fool you. Keep pushing cause one day it will pay off. Never underestimate the power of networking. The most challenging for me was learning to accept losses. Being an entrepreneur comes with so many loses.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
I see myself in the next five years owning many businesses. I see myself retiring my parents I speak these things into existence daily.
