Jay-Z knew when @Rihanna walked in his office, he had a special artist.
Not a special song that they just wanted to pour gasoline on the fire to make more money.
Hov knew he had a global superstar.
And he was right.
Look at her career now.
Rihanna drops music when she wants to.
She is a makeup tycoon who is going to be worth BILLIONS.
That’s what happens when you invest in a real entity and not just a hot product.
You hear this on shark tank all the time.
The sharks say “I invest in the jockey, not the horse”.
The jockey (entrepreneur) will always find a way to make money.
Master P says he never counts a hustler out because they will always find a way to make money.
Horses (products/songs) come and go.
Which are you?
Are you a jockey/entrepreneur/artist that can continually make money?
If so, where’s the social proof?
How many streams of revenue do you have coming in?
How much are you making a money from your business?
For those of you who want a manager, a label or an outside investor in your company, this is what they are going to look at and ask.
If you are who you say you are, prove it.
Your music is dope? How many streams you got? How many albums did you sell? How many fans do you have?
If you can’t answer these questions, you ain’t shit so stop telling people you are the shit.
Stop talking and start doing.
That’s what Rihanna did and look at her.
Are you a dope artist/entrepreneur?
If so, post your social proof in the comments.
I wanna know
