For the Hustlers

The purpose of business is making profit, but above all is self-establishment, creating opportunities and being business itself. Now business is the structure that is independent and loves every particle that helps it grow. I have a dream to see greater Records executives coming out of BGF, not only out BGF but also more outta hip hop cycle all across the world. So I’m going to share few tips of being not just a business man but business.

1 Be business

The reason I say be business is because many make a mistake of being too personal instead of business growth. Being business mean being able to identify the need in the area that is not your strong point and inject growth/strong vessel in it. If you not a CEO material don’t push yourself to be one but seek a relevant candidate to occupy; same as when you not a good producer, don’t push yourself because you’ll hurt the business. You cannot be everything when you not. I know to most people tittles and the status that mark that they in charge but it’s not worth it if it’s not taking business anywhere.

2 Do not dictate

Handling business is when you allow people under you to have a free role so that they may be productive. Most executives don’t allow their artists and producers to grow as individuals but seek to take credit for everything; I love what Jay did with Kanye and what Dre did with Eminem, Fiddy and others. Their strategy proved good business movement and meant money in the bank.

3 Grind for success

Success comes to the real hustler that knows the right moves and when to make them, you need to be able to identify gab that need to be filled I the game and make relevant moves quickly to fill the void.

4 Develop your interpersonal skills

This is very important because it determines leadership quality in you. Make sure that you train yourself to be a good listener and good in paying attention and actively notice others feeling, body language and words very attentively. This is how you will be able to play a good role of a leader without being personal when mediating and resolving conflicts.

5 Be financially disciplined

Business should be a top priority over the things that can tempt any business man. Many business men make a mistake of making business money their own pocket money and seek to maintain living large with it; that is a major fall of many businesses.  Be wise and create a reasonable salary that will not make you bigger than business.

6 Take calculated risks

This is about you being prepared for the occasional setbacks on small failures and sees them as growth opportunity against competitors. Take your risks carefully with a plan to venture into higher heights.

7 Seek a mentor

Develop a close relationship with a businessman whose career you would like to emulate. Be active on the social cycle and press on connecting with the relevant business people and your personal favourite. Search for business you consider successful and seek advices.

Keep hustling and handle your business.
