Job, Career, Your Own Business- You Decide.

11 Sep

Job,
Career,
Your Own Business-
You Decide.

I think the concept here eludes many people and I intend to divulge the facts! Lol okay I’m having fun but its real talk my friends. Let’s unpack this to see where we all fit.

-Job.
A job is what it sounds like- it’s just work. It might pay bills. It might be fun. Its not much else. A paper boy has a job. I had that job and it was great for a time. Cool, new and cash paid weekly. However it had no future, benefits and was not fun in the rain. Many adults live that reality and simply trudge back to it day after day. Really going to accept that?

-Career.
So u want more. You want a career. Nice. Smart choice. You have realized that there is more to working. Work is okay, and it may even get some good coin in your pocket.
Problem is what career?
What do you love?
What is your passion?
So you love that ’52 chevy your dad had. And you bought one and got it going pretty well. Paint is eh, but it runs like a dream. So you have your passion and you figure why not work for Unique Autosports. A lifetime restoring the things you love is time well spent.
Perhaps you love carpentry and you here the local 403 is hiring. Great benefits, overtime, retirement package that is guaranteed. This is really cool! You have 35 years to do what you love, get paid for it, and retire with mula, dinero, cash to boot!
Loving what you do rocks.

-Your Own Business.
Now for the heart of the matter.
So we know a job gets us coin.
A career may be more fulfilling.
And yet the best option is ahead.
In this humble mans opinion having my own business is a breath of fresh air. And while I’m not Warren Buffet or Ray Higdon I know I will be.
Having your own business puts you in the driver seat.
You make your hours.
You choose your clients.
You hire and fire staff instead of being staff. You can’t be fired from your business. You may put in no effort and lose at the game of life but that’s different.
But having your own business puts you in the driver seat.
And sorry folks but that is what built America.
Small business/large business owners, entrepreneurs breathe life into our economy. When you that is you, you rock!
Owning your own business also gives you awesome tax breaks. So that’s a super win. Make money and keep more of what you make.
Owning your own business will give you options you haven’t seen.
I also find it appealing to call my shots. I like my boss- he’s cool. However I want to take the risks, call the shots and reap greater rewards.
You can give back easier with your own business too. The pluses have added up huh?
Now I won’t kid you its a lot of work. And those who make it sacrificed. Yet wouldn’t you want to sacrifice to get ahead?
Furthermore, if you can create residual income you will be free. Let that business you love create income even when you don’t work. A carpenter can do it. A tech, a boss, a cook. And isn’t that the dream?
I like my job- its actually a good career too.
I want more though. I need to make it- on my terms. Its a strong desire I’ve had since 5 or 6 yrs old.

Feel the same?
Made a decision?
Need to step off the path?
Let’s talk.

Exclusive Interview #8. Spotlighting DJ XXXOTIC MAMI- CEO XTREME104FM- PIVOT RECORDS- HIP HOP TYMES

10 Sep

The eighth interview in a series highlighting up and coming entrepreneurs and leaders.
Today we interview DJ XXXOTIC MAMI- CEO XTREME104FM- PIVOT RECORDS- HIP HOP TYMES

And without further ado:

DJ XXXOTIC MAMI/CEO XTREME104FM- PIVOT RECORDS- HIP HOP TYMES

-Where you from?
I am from South Jamaica Queens originally.
 
-Age?
A woman never tells. (giggle) I will say this though my resume speaks for my experience and longevity in the game. I have worked with some of the best and learned a lot. Things that I share with my team and all those whom I have the fortune of doing business with today. I am forwarding thinking, and about my brand and business. I appreciate those who feel the same, and act on it.

-Tell my readers exactly what you do-
Businesses you own, ventures, products, etc.
I am CEO/ C.O.O of Xtreme 104FM which is a nationally rated Internet Radio brand. We are the reigning UMA award winners for our broadcasting of the A&R Report, which I am the host of along with Dizzy Brown and SuperAgentDre. I also am the CEO of Pivot Music Group. In a nutshell I am a radio personality as well an industry executive, and figurehead. I have been blessed to make a lot of great connections and build not only my brand, but the brand of both PIVOT and XTREME104FM. We welcome everyone to check out our bimonthly publication HIP HOP TIMES which highlights industry news, and unsigned artists. Also we have Straightfromthebooth.com which is a community of like-minded creative individuals who support Hip Hop as a whole, and each other. Our motto is we make unsigned artist mainstream. Through our marketing strategies, promotional initiatives, and widespread reach via Social Media as well as grass roots approaches as well. 
 
 
-How did you get the entrepreneurial bug?
I’ve always had the entrepreneurial bug, anyone that knows me knows that I think business at all times. I started out laying the groundwork like anyone else and paid my dues, but I always had my eyes on ownership; it just took time. Where me and my team are at now is a blessing, but by no means are we content, its always about the next level. Heightening our brand awareness, and capability.
 
 
-How did you get in the game/current foray?
I am a DJ hence the name DJ XXXOTIC MAMI. I started by carrying DJ crates for DJ Clue and Desert Storm when he started at Amazura in Queens NY, not laptops but milk carton crates of vinyl records. I have played/hosted/frequented every venue you can name in the tri-state area, and beyond. I was doing internet radio before actually heading a station. While working for others I always knew I had what it took, but I also know that the blueprint is best built on simmer, so I took my time, learned the business and when the lane opened up I took advantage of the opportunity that presented itself. I have surrounded myself with great people who work hard and we support each other, making sure that the #XTREMETEAM is and will remain a household name.
 

-What made you embrace your position?
My ambitions made me embrace it. It order to have anything in this world, you have to earn it. I work hard and I relish the rewards, but I always think bigger! The respect I get industry wise, and outside of makes it all worth it. Seeing the dreams of my team come true is rewarding as well.
 
 
-What keeps you in your position?
Hard work, Dedication, and most of all knowing my worth as well as the game. HIP HOP is evolutionary, meaning that it changes and to stay relevant you have to change with it. I keep my eyes and ears to the street and mainstream. I am not called the “Queen of the Underground” for no reason (laughs). We work hard on this side, and we appreciate being respected for it. There is not an aspect of my brand that I neglect, I am very hands on and that’s what keeps me where I am at.

-What are your secrets to success?
There aren’t no secrets, opportunity is a universal thing; its on the individual to make the most of it.  I always tell people if you work hard things will happen. The only place Success comes before Work is in the dictionary!!!
 
 
-What don’t you like in the game?
People who overestimate their value and do not understand that you have to earn your keep in this game. On top of that, most importantly, know the business.
 

-What do you like in the game?
EVERYTHING ELSE! I love Hip Hop. I have loved it since I was a child. The art, the business, the opportunities. Couldn’t knock it if I tried.

-What would you change in the game?
I would change some of the people, but I’m not gonna say no names. My publicist told me to behave.
 

-If I gave you a milli what or whom would
you invest in?
#XTREMETEAM. Most importantly our community services division headed by Kwame Davis. YOu can visit Pmggivesback to check out our community service initiatives. We are about more than the music, we are about the culture, the people. Our people!  I would invest more into outlets that provide opportunities and uplifting.
 
 
-What sets you apart from the game?
Nothing. I AM HIP HOP. I am apart of it, I love it, I live for it. On an individually level, I am cocky so I would tell that there is no one like me, but still and all we are ALL APART OF and CONTRIBUTORS TO HIP HOP as a whole.
 
 
-What are your thoughts on 360 deals?
This is where the executive in me comes in. I think that they have their place, but people must do their homework. Not all deals with be customized for one end or the other, its on the individual to make sure their paperwork is right for their situation.
 
 
-What made you love hip hop?
The lyrics, I loved the articulation and creativity of my favorite artists. They said some of the things that I was thinking; some of the things that people in my neighborhood were thinking, and the game gave them a chance to be heard by the masses. That’s powerful.
 

-Who is your fav rapper/lyricist?
Missy Elliott, T.I. and Eric B and Rakim.

 
-Best person to ever play your position?
You would have to say some of the greats like Russell, L.A. Reid, Kevin Liles, Chris Lighty (RIP), Shakie Steward (RIP), and Jay Z’s of the world to name a few. Executives who had an impact on the game of HIP HOP and its progression
 
  
-Best rapper alive?
A lot of you haven’t heard him/her yet. But don’t fret, they will be coming out of the Pivot Music Group camp really soon.

-Advice for my readers?
Check out the Xtreme Team, we are really working hard to give you quality music. We broadcast 7 days a week, we have a tremendous line up. You can check us out : http://www.xtreme104FM.com and on Tune-IN
 

-Your definition of success?
Respect from your peers, and Numbers, because they don’t lie. WE all know that. Anything that I speak of I can back it up with the numbers. That’s where society is at now, love it or hate it. Its about the numbers, your reach, and your standing.
 

-Any projects you’d like to promo?
Yeah DJ XXXotic Mami and Xtreme104FM as a house hold name!!!!!

What Free is Costing You

9 Sep

What Free is Costing You.

A lot of people want freebies. If it aint free they aren’t interested. Double negative, I know. However when you show people the gains they would achieve, or the free time they will have- it is mocked or insulted.
My friends I’m going to dispel these myths.

-Free trainer.
Sorry folks the guy trying to train people for free is a pervert. He wants to touch people. Its funny to imagine the SNL skits this evokes- but its real. You get what you pay for. The guy who has needs fulfills needs. Remember that.

-Free School.
Sorry but I went to private school and it was awesome! Smaller classes. Teachers cared more and there was no real violence. I am in education but as an inner city kid turned educator, and a guy who went to both private school and a small college in Westchester I see the difference. Now we can’t all afford private school no problem. But I have friends a bit older than me and family as well who cry broke when it comes to their kids education and own 5 macs, and a bunch of LED tv’s. Or they have a Cadillac Escalade but won’t put the kiddies into a better educational environment. Sorry but its real.

-Free Products in an mlm and/or venture.
Sorry again my friends. Its just not sensible to expect to get a product for free. You bought the new Honda Accord? It wasn’t free. You get cable- It has never been free.
Why would you expect to get free products in a network marketing venture or any other? My brother sells medical supplies, and still pays for medical services. Fair right isn’t it? Exactly. A former teacher sells retirement plans- and this too seems to imply he will retire well. Wrong. He had to pay the same or more.
Nothing in life is free.
There is always a direct or associated cost.
Now as a network marketing or direct marketing veteran I know nothing is free. A current venture gives me the product free- but only when three people join and therein lies the key.
If I can’t find the three people who concur with me on what is worth my time, money,
And efforts I’m in the wrong place at the right time. Yup. That is said the way I mean it.

-Free training.
If you want to learn to be the boss you pay for it. The best teach the best- at a price. My mentor charges for his time. All of it. Now he has given me lots of freebie advice- however I have met him in the middle. I have bought his courses.
I have followed his growth.
I believe in his methods.
What you see right now is a direct result of our limited interactions. He has taught me a great deal. But I missed a lot not paying upfront. So I buckled down and bought the courses. I asked for his help and I paid the fees.
Lastly the lesson I learned was hard. I have a few free students I offered to train in an effort to build momentum. And it was a cool idea. And it kind of worked. The problem? One has made it and one isn’t doing the work. Now that could be luck of the draw.
I see something different. I read an article where the author stated that what is free isn’t highly esteemed. And she was right. People don’t value the free training. Same was a Bugatti is valued.
I valued my training at $25.00 an hour. And you know what? I found a few cool students at free and none at that price. I just found one today as write this article so I’m excited. Yet the learning curve is tremendous. More people have asked to learn and grow with me once the free period ended.
Get it folks?

“Earn and learn- the rest is worthless.”

Three Things You Should NeveR Buy

8 Sep

Three Things You Should Never Buy.

A horse as an investment.
Advice from someone who’s broke.
Leads when you can’t sell.

Short list. Not too much to think about. And yet an still it speaks volumes. Let’s work this thing out cohesively and as a group.

-A horse as an investment.
So not too applicable but bear wit me.
A lot of people get into a good thing and get some cash, a whole lot of cash. And the next thing you know they want to diversify.
So they get an IRA. Good stuff in most peoples opinions. Useful too if you know what you’re doing. So. Now the idea comes to you to invest in gold. So u buy some rare dubloons. Not bad, not good, I like silver personally, especially numismatics. Now you decide that a horse is a fine idea. Stately regal creatures that they are you figure it will be a center piece of your collection of wealth. And what’s better it will win races garnering you press, victories and maybe some winnings at the track! Awesome right?
WRONG.
Never invest in what you don’t have knowledge of. If you aren’t an equestrian already its probably a good idea to stick with what you know.
Never invest in something that is so costly.
A Horse needs lodging, food, a veterinarian, training, and so forth. Do you want to outlay these items costs on the hopes you will beat the equestrian world and their experience?
Sounds nutty right? Exactly. You fight the wars you can win. This is one you skip though my friends. Simply invest in what you know.

-Advice from someone who’s broke.
This is a huge downfall for many people. When you take stock tips from the guy who works for a wage in a small cubicle- 99% of the time he is wrong. Now he may be a new broker but most times he’s your friend in the cubicle next to yours. What does this mean? Simple. Its a sign your a fiduciary fool. No offense folks but when you take cheap or free advice from someone who doesn’t make a living from the advice he or she gives loss is imminent. Move on. I don’t take tax advice from my doctor. I may listen and ask questions, but I pay my CPA to ‘school’ me on this subject. I didn’t invest my extra money into stocks prior to 2008 as I didn’t think my coworkers and payroll secretary were smarter than I am. And I didn’t take the loss as a result.
I admit this was half luck. Okay 80% but I didn’t follow suit. I listened to that nag in my head- the one I call intuition. So my friends ignore the fools, skeptics, and friends. Everyone means well but your fiduciary health is your fault and your gain or loss. Aka- Guard your $$$$$!

-Leads when you can’t sell.
Sorry folks but this is a hard core fact akin to working out but not eating right. You get nowhere.
Now we have all been online and seen the cold call killers who can make you better than them. And the no close, no call, no contact closing gurus. Or the lead generator networks that promise you will make money and close people on autopilot. And at that it will be a robot piloting the autopilot. Amazing, easy, perfect!
NOPE!!!
Remember my article about Zeek Rewards?
Ever heard of Maddoff? Ponzi sound familiar? Now some people will make you better. And some companies will hone your skills until you are an amazing closer. And they may show you how to get leads. Now that works. But leads from nowhere are bogus. Also why would you want vague, unknown leads? Or why buy leads that you didn’t cultivate. You build a better team when you actually know your team. Leads aren’t numbers- they are PEOPLE. Treat them as such.
Another point, why would you want leads that are conceivably low quality? I want people that won’t join too easy. I want leads who WANT to join my team not a rich quick scheme. I need a strong team. A cohesive group of people who see value in me and want to commit to sharpening each other. Growth with a team is valuable. Cheap high turn over leads and opt-ins are worthless. Don’t buy leads, build teams.

*Last tip- NEVER tell yourself it’s too expensive. When you impose limits on your abilities or finances you have effectively crippled yourself. The mind and the heart when fed right will exceed your needs and expectations. You have to manifest your dreams by literally telling yourself what will be the outcome.
This isn’t a license to go bat crazy but you never want to limit your mind or heart. Aim beyond your goal but be mindful of all your actions. That dream car is 50 grand- build an empire and then reward yourself. Let the 1970 GTO be a goal, same for the Lambo.
Dream big, live big, work hard.

What You Blog is as important as How You Blog.

30 Aug

What You Blog is as important as How You Blog.

So you wanna blog and you need some advice? We got you covered. Blogging is great fun, great business, and extremely useful. So let’s break it down!

-Title.
When you are starting a blog you probably have a theme, a concept. However going into the 8 word name flow is foolish. I’ve seen churches with long names, but not too many businesses. Quick, concise, and to the point will get you in front of more viewers. Clarity of mind as displayed in the title will give you a following you can’t fathom. Recap: small words, less words= great title.
-Theme.
The theme you choose has to be concise and clear. If you wanted to discuss the economic depression- break it into a series. Discuss the banks, the poor, the baby boomers. Make it a series. This will make clear concepts that people will read. Long, verbose, convoluted topics make people not want to read. They make people loathe your blog. They don’t want to mine for nuggets. They simply want the gold. So give it to them. Less bragadocio (spelling) and more fact.

-Content.
Lay out is a big part of content. Don’t make it all centered. Stick to left alignment. People are used to it. Also when every sentence starts at an odd place you may lose reader.
Small paragraphs will also get you farther than you can imagine. Break concepts down.
Simple sentences also are easier for the mind to digest and don’t alienate readers who may think you are being egotistical.
Speak smart. Speak simple.

-Original content.
Always, always use original content.
Don’t use copyrighted images you are not licensed too. And don’t steal blogs you read. Inspiration is one thing, theft is another.

It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.

Core Concepts, Some Old Some New

27 Aug

Core Concepts, Some Old Some New.

So I’m going to be a bit erratic today folks.
I’m going to cover some stuff I’ve spoke on and some stuff that’s eluded my fans and myself as well. I’m also going to go out of order. Better said- I’m going to use these four core concepts in an order that I think precedes success.
-Put in the time
-Focus
-Mentors
-Follow through.

That’s it folks. Four core concepts that can change your business, change your life.
Let’s dig in!

-Put in the time.
I don’t care who you are or what your deal is. You will get nowhere if your dream, plan, scheme is a hobby. Sorry it’s a fact. You are a failure before you even dig in. Mastery of anything takes 10,000 hours.
Don’t have ten thousand hours to get rich? To be perpetually wealthy?
See you at the finish line after you’re lapped. I don’t care who you are or what your troubles and time constraints are.
Make time for your future. Make time to be free forever so you don’t miss the games with the kids or that super bowl vacation you only dreamed of before. Start small. Use your lunch breaks and bathroom time to sharpen your mind. When you have coffee read to build strategies from authors who have done it before you. Turn off the television. And xbox, ps3, not going to put cash into your roth ira is it?
Everyone has an hour a day for starters. Find yours.

-Focus.
You don’t get anything done well without it. Focus is the key that unlocks your dreams and desires. Chaos creates only more chaos. A focused mind however will guide and create. A focused mind is a tool that when honed to perfection will find cashflow and residual income. However you have to avoid the distractions. Turn off the tv- see a trend there? After that make sure you fill your time with productive tasks. The gym, education, reading. Make lists of what you need to do and the dollar amounts to reach on the road to financial freedom. When you are doing the tasks and steps that are required for your business- do only that. Multitasking detracts for most people. When you’re at work you work right? Well at your own venture you must be that much more focused.

-Mentors.
Mentors are great. A good mentor will for many mean the difference between success and failure. A mentor can illuminate the path for you whether you are in the same business or not. A mentor will help you see the mistakes you are making and help you skip a few they made themselves. My mentors are both highly successful and one is even in my current venture. However the one who isn’t is still there when I have questions and needs. His willingness to help and his thirst for knowledge and self growth are not only infectious but influential.
Accountability is a key aspect of a good mentor. They will ask you the questions you hoipe they won’t. They will want answers when you fail. They will require you work harder. And they need not gain from your success to be effective. A mentor may cost you money and they may not charge a dime. be aware thought hat you get what you pay for.
Lastly, the mentor I speak to most frequently asked me one question and pointed out my greatest flaw in my business endeavors. Do you see the power?

-Follow through.
So you got your focused mindset and your putting in 3 hours a day with a fifteen hour minimum. Awesome! You even found a mentor and things are smooth. Their pricing is reasonable and your learning curve has been exciting.
Great now FOLLOW THROUGH.
Life isn’t simply trying and applying. You have to repeat the process. Over and over and over. That’s it. No compromise, no hoping it was enough. Make it enough. Every action that breeds success must be repeated over and over. Not only will you become more successful but you will become better at these steps as you complete them repeatedly. NBA, NFL, MLB- all require repetitive motion to rise to the top. Ask Jeter. Ask Ted Williams. Ask Ray Allen. Ask Kobe Bryant. They don’t win and then slack. In the off season they work. And if you have competition for your business- buddy, you better believe your competition is training when you’re sleeping. That is the nature of the beast. Practice your craft. And then make practicing your practice a step. Sounds odd, I know. But you will get me when you see how it builds for you.
