10th Interview Spotlighting the Boss: MOOK MILLION$

24 Sep

Tenth Interview highlighting Entrepreneurs and Moguls who are ahead of the Curve!
Today we spent our time with MooK Millions.
-Where you from?
Harlem NYC         

-Age?
Old Enough to Qualify Young Enough to Satisfy.

-Tell my readers exactly what you do-  Businesses you own, ventures, products, etc-
I am a Mogul. I am the CEO of S.H.I.N.E Enterprises which is comprised of S.H.I.N.E Entertainment, The S.H.I.N.E Collection (Clothing Line), & Shining Star Studded Ent (Promo Company). I am also Co-CEO of #FRMT (The Filthy Rich Money Team) I also write poetry, movie scripts, plays etc….and I coach basketball.

-How did you get the entrepreneurial bug?
It was innate for the most part. I watched my pops hustle as well. He used to own a store on the Grand Concourse in the BX, be a vendor in the streets with socks, t-shirts, etc, & he sold drugs. Ever since I was young, I had a passion for creativity and generating income. In middle school I used to purchase junk food from the store and sell it for more during class. Along with that I had a team of people who made designs on graph paper and we sold it during class.

-How did you get in the game/current foray?
I first started out as the VP of my boy Jaxz’s label Loose Canonz Ent. Eventually I felt it was time to be the captain of my own ship.

-What made you embrace your position?
I’ve always been a leader. I’m very creative and innovative, plus I don’t mind taking risks. I’m not afraid of failure because I am a student of life. I learn from all experiences therefore I’m built for my position. I can deal with being praised & ridiculed. But most of all I accept responsibility for my actions.

-What keeps you in your position?
My focus, ambitions, & my supporting cast. There are times when I want to take a break and even question things, but God usually has a way of keeping me grounded and focused with loving and supportive people and clear vision of purpose.

-What are your secrets to success?
My grandfather once told me “Find something you love to do and you will never work a day in your life.” I believe people have to find their niche, true passion, & nurture their talents. Success has to be defined by your own definition, not societies.

-What don’t you like in the game?
Well many of my fields are over saturated. Everyone wants to be a promoter these days and many events don’t capture the essence of partying. Same goes for music in which I manage artists, everyone wants to be a rapper, but not an artist. Authenticity has been traded in for copying. Too much swagga jacking and no originality. People are just doing things for money as opposed to finding their calling.

-What do you like in the game?
I love managing artists because I have a true passion for music. I don’t just hear it but I listen to it. All kinds, all artists. To be apart of something creative feels great! I love promoting because I know how to party. I learned from older people, first and foremost my grandmother who took me to an Eastern Star Dance at 12 yrs old. I love helping people get out of their everyday lives and enhance that moment in which they’re at my events. It feels good to make others smile and give them great memories. As far as my clothing line goes, I love fashion immensely. Many people of all ages compliment me on my style. So I figured I can bring my visions to life for others as well.

-What would you change in the game?
The politics and the Hollywood aspect of it. Promoters now feel like a hot event has to have exaggerated budgets and feature artists, actors/actresses, etc…Get back to real music in hip hop as opposed to cars, clothes, money, jewels, and women all day. And I would get rid of all the clothing lines that people started just cause it was the thing to do.

-If I gave you a milli what or whom would
you invest in?
Me and my businesses. After I flip that and give you your initial investment plus interest, I would invest in others like myself.

-What sets you apart from the game?
My originality. I’m not afraid to be me. I won’t compromise my character for anything. Plus I care for others and invest into my community and culture.

-What made you love hip hop?
The creativity of lyrics. It’s poetry in motion over melodic sounds. I just love it.

-Who is your fav rapper/lyricist?
The Notorious B.I.G

-Best person to ever play your position?
Me. But on a mainstream level I would say Diddy.

-Best rapper alive?
Jay-Z

-Advice for my readers?
Follow your dreams. Nurture your talents. Be compassionate and share your success. Overall #Live #Laugh & #Love. “Incremental production leads to Incredible progress.”

-Your definition of success?
Continued growth as a person and mogul. Impacting the world, my community, and culture. My businesses generating wealth and employing many people. My family being set for life.

-Any projects you’d like to promo?
Exotic Saturdays @Perks Uptown in Harlem on 123st & Manhattan Ave. Grown & Sexy Mature Crowd. Ladies Free before 12. Gents reduced. ***Oct 20 My Birthday Celebration @Perks Uptown

Positivity and Resolve

23 Sep

Positivity and Resolve

There a are a million strategies and as many gurus to teach you how to be the best you.
We even have the new breed that say do you, f the people; these three steps…
Shameful isn’t it? Everyone wants cash for a few nuggets of advice that may or may not help target markets reach the pinnacle. Its all about the quick sales and cheap thrills. How fast can I hook you?
How quick will you order?
See they know that once you get sucked in by hype or legit goods you won’t want that money back. Even if you want a refund either pride will stop you or you will miss the deadline. You know that small script that tells you how little time you have and the services fees if you do return…

Well my friends I’ve got free and easy for you. And if that ain’t good enough there will be more where that came from!

Only two things are needed to get going and keep going.

-A Positive Mindset.
Mind set dictates results as much as surrounds if not more so. In life we have few choices we can’t control or influence. Get to the point: you are in charge. You dictate actions and outcome. What else needs to be said? Life is a stage a screen, and on it you can paint dreams or nightmares. The path you take is a result of your mind set. In your mind paint dynamic prose and superior visions. This one action will make you superior. What you believe you are you will be. Nuff said.

-The Resolve to Finish what you start
Fron Dictionary.com:
resolve[ ri-zolv ]
verb (used with object)
1. to come to a definite or earnest decision about; determine (to do something): I have resolved that I shall live to the full.
Yup that’s it. Nothing else to it. Resolve makes it happen. Scared money don’t make no money- as my peoples say. Pardon the double negative but its so simple I’ll leave it as is.
Resolve is more than a mind set, its more than a moment.
Resolve is follow thru, it is belief. Its the mission, the answer, the outcome the everything. I’m sorry but I don’t think anything is achieved without resolve. Everyone starts something- few follow through.
Life requires a mind set that has the resolve to beat the odds. True resolve tells you to take Normandy.
True resolve tells you that you are the end all be all. No challengers. And even the few who do face harsh consequences. That’s resolve. You make moves and commit beyond failure until conquests are actionable during sleep!
There is nothing else to add there.
Let your resolve move you beyond destiny or it doesn’t exist!

REACH FOR THE TOP

Fender Benders, Finance, Freedom and Follow through.

20 Sep

Well folks I’m late with it today because my journey was arduous. Today I had a fender bender. Yup my car was rear ended with extreme prejudice. And while I skipped the hospital run I am in pain. However I am blessed and highly aware of it. Things could have been so much worse and I’m humbled and appreciative. I thank God for protecting me and giving me a quick lesson:

Fender benders, Finance, Freedom and Follow through.

So the accident sucked. The guy was a jerk and went from trying to walk away to threatening me to bribing me to warning me. And he was in his 50s! I expected more but I was kind, cool tempered and by the book. I called my boss, family, and the police. The lesson there- keep your temper always because it will speak volumes for you. By the book saves you. I made it to my training today despite the calamity. And when it ended early I was not required to return to work. My boss set me free to go rest. Talk about blessed! Had I cheated and faked time I may have been caught. My character remained intact, and was rewarded even though it is a reward in and of itself.

On finance people may think I should’ve took the bribe or not called the cops. You know what: did that before- twice. Never panned out well. Also I’m not guilty so my finances will not be impeded. The guy who tried to cheat, well he’s paying. Integrity is its own reward folks.

Freedom. Heck, I just feel free to be me knowing I’m home safe as I write this. I’m shook up, bruised but happy and am still doing what I love.

Which takes me to follow through. Though today was a journey. I still had something to share. I learned so we learn. Life is short, and mine wasn’t shortened today so I’m grateful. And as such I will follow through. With brevity but I am here and I am glad.
Make the most of it folks. Follow through on everything you set out to do

Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential.

Starting is Great, but Finishing is Better.

18 Sep

Starting is Great, but Finishing is Better.

In any venture no matter how big or small the key is always action.
I’m going to keep today’s article the same. Fast and complete.

-Action.
Action is everything. And the sooner you make moves the better. One reason is your grand idea may come to another mogul as their great epiphany. And that mogul will know the secret to success is to simply ACT. That mogul will make a call, outline a plan, and layout the cash to get the dream to be a reality. And sadly folks your dream, your riches, your financial freedom is gone. Now you can get another idea off the ground, no doubt. I definitely believe you can and will be successful if you get it in gear. The loss here was that venture #1 could have bankrolled the 2nd venture. And thus you could have moved from a position of power not a position of need. Now inspiration can be found in desperation, no question. However you were there once. And on top of that my friends I think its simply lost revenue and lost family time. Life isn’t short, many of us just waste away time and in the end are running to make it up.
So:
Act- Start fast, Make it work.
Move- make a call, create motion.
Talk- Tell everyone. Declare publicly your goal and stipulate a time frame the same day you act on your dream. These steps will put your feet to the fire and learn & earn.

-Inaction.
Inaction is always you enemy. Great ideas that you don’t act upon are fools hopes’.
Yup, that’s what I call them, fools hopes’. A fool will come up with a great idea. He may be the next Michael Dell or Steve Jobs, but without action he is nothing. Now I know, I know we are all someone. And I agree with that. However, what we do with the time given us defines us. And being wealthy isn’t everything but the power it wields is. You can save lives through donations, give to the poor, lead and follow when necessary. Sadly though when we have to focus on fattening someone else’s paycheck we have less to offer the world around us. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take. Thus inaction is akin to being born with a debilitating disease that is overtly aggressive from the onset. Don’t be crippled by inaction. Do what you must and do it fast. If fear is crippling you, imagine what regret will taste like.

-Finishing.
And here is the nitty gritty. Finishing is everything. You can’t finish what you don’t start. However, what you don’t finish hangs over your head like a barbershop pole. I’m a firm believe in a man exceeding his expectations and never saying I can’t.
I went to college and never finished. I also think college is a fiscal trap- but I will finish. Even as we speak I’ve made the steps to finish my degree and maybe even my juris doctorate. Why? Simple. I don’t leave things undone. I also write music. And I always finish the tracks I start. At one point of my collegiate journey I decided to write poetry as fast as I could short or long pieces, I made sure that they had an end not a stop point.
A separate lesson there is that burnout may occur, but plan ahead. Have a finite goal. And make sure the end fits the mission/task/goal.
In conclusion it is my firm belief that it is whether or not you finish and how you finish that will define you. Finishing will close deals, and build riches. Imagine you get to meet a billionaire who will mentor you and pay your expenses. You are excited, you are ready! He/she never calls to complete the deal. You are crushed. And that is what your family, friends, recruits and teammates feel when you don’t finish what you start. Your venture must be seen to fruition and beyond. It isn’t a game or a part time task. Want to fire your boss?
Want to spend 10 hours a day with your kids- finish what you start. I hate roller coasters. HATE THEM!! So the last time I went to great adventures I not only got on every ride my friends and family got on- I bought the pictures of me screaming like a baby and put them in my scrapbook. That is my dedication to myself. I started with fear and ended with a future. Join me at the finish line.

Consumers, Creators and Consistency

16 Sep

Consumers, Creators and Consistency.

There are very few people who will accept responsibility for their situation. PERIOD. Sorry folks but its the first step to financial freedom and entrepreneurial ecstasy.
In fact I’ll take it a step further and state that most people don’t know whether they are consumers, creators, and if they are even consistent in any fashion. Let’s break this down friends.

-Consumer.
A consumer consumes, period.
From dictionary.com:
consumer[ kuh n-soo-mer ]. noun
1. a person or thing that consumes.
2. a person or organization that uses a commodity or service.
3. an organism, usually an animal, that feeds on plants or other animals.
That’s it its simple. They consume but don’t create. A classic consumer is the individual who garners a small check through labor or income through others and in turn only spends on goods that own no value.
The average consumer is just that, a consumer. They don’t contribute to society in a meaningful way. They don’t seek financial freedom. They do however have the newest Beats by Dre. They have new sneakers every quarter at a minimum. And they also lack savings or financial planning let alone financial savvy of any sort. They either don’t care or blame it on the wealthy and while this is enticing its also a cheap way out. Sorry folks. I’m the first one to admit he loves possessions. However I will give back. I do volunteer. I have done community service. This blog is also free and I have a few students that will not be sold my ventures and will only be given free education in their finances and entrepreneurial drive. I also work and have a few ventures. I’m not better than anyone, I just see that we have to work all the avenues. Join me in doing so.

-Creators.
Creators are those who find avenues of financial growth. They not only consume but they create product and tools and services. They don’t simply work for income. They create income. They build futures and provide jobs.
From dictionary.com:
creator[ kree-ey-ter ]. noun
1. a person or thing that creates.
2. God.
Now we aren’t God. So working with only the first definition we see that we have to create to step above the rest. Okay, the definition doesn’t imply that but the fact that the next definition is to be God only verifies my assumptions and mind frame. My friends we are here to create. We are here to thrive and not just survive. (#thriveorsurvive get the hint…)
And anyone and everyone can create.
Find your niche. Create your hustle. Love to write? Be a published author. I can do this for you at low to no cost!
Want to be a tattoo artist? I have the mentor you need. There are people a tweet away. A message away. So don’t make excuses. Meet your destiny head on and create it.

-Consistency.
Consistency, wow. I love this topic and my followers know. And I’m the first cat to admit I drop the ball. But I keep track. This sets me in to a pattern where I drop the proverbial ball less and less and I become a better entrepreneur. My Consistent desire and approach to and for success has bred this trait for me. It wasn’t inherent.
So let’s look at two forms of consistency.
*Captain consumer is consistent- at only spending 9 out of ten times. This individual will plot and plan to purchase and acquire. Hey that’s cool but it doesn’t build empires.
*Captain creation on the other creates before he consumes. He gives back. He has an idea that consumes his efforts. This idea becomes his consistency. He is at it day after day, hour after hour.
This is Positive consistency. When you chase consistency it rewards you.
However is your desired reward belongings and possessions, or is it growth and financial freedom that in turn let’s you have what you desire?

Consistency can plague you or build you. What do you choose? Being consistent in building an empire gave Columbus, Napoleon, Malcolm X, Genghis Khan, and many more true freedom.
Consistency is simply the act of repetition. Determine a simple formula for you and repeat it. That’s it folks.
