Welcome back to CB Real Talk exclusively on CB Networks today we will be speaking on "Business Man". Growing up I was always into business I knew I was a marketer because it was all around us I remember as a kid I was always paying attention to the advertising around me and I always thought it was interesting. I remember my Dad took me to a Seminar at a young age and I got to meet the former Chief Executives of Borden, Pepsi Co, and Susan G Coleman this stuck with me forever. It was cool to sit and hear some of their experiences as executives and I appreciate my Dad for this experience because I remember while in the seminar I said one day I will be like them.

I wish I could go back and really go harder than I did but it's the past now I can push myself harder to become the businessman I dream to be. Alot of my friends were cool people but they weren't aligned with my destiny and did not think on the level I was thinking on. I was talking to a former Artist I managed and it's frustrating dealing with unlike minds because they will never see the vision no matter how loyal and how much work you put into things. I worked on they're music for over ten years and wasted a lot of time and now I am more serious than ever to make it I have no other choice. Alot of people don't understand my brand, and my dream literally kept me alive, the ability to self-inspire is amazing and people don't realize all the hard work that goes into my work.

You've got to cut off the low-level thinkers they will make you doubt yourself and one of the worst things to do is doubt yourself and put your goals on hold because of other people. I am one of those people I used to try and only see the good in people now if you're not showing hard work and dedication I cannot afford to have people like this in my circle. I was talking to the artist for about two days little did he know his response would decide his fate regarding the business connection between us. It's 2024 I am not getting any younger and have already wasted so much time on people who don't want to do the work. 

Now don't get me wrong this artist is one of the most talented ones I have ever heard but the work ethic isn't there. If you're not in business to maximize profit I am not the team you want to be on. I am done with the games and half effort but one thing these ni**as can never say is that I lied because I delivered on my end. You can believe in someone all day but if they don't believe in themselves it's a complete waste of your time. Take it from me ten years wasted completely thrown down the drain all because our mentalities were different. I don't have time to babysit and keep someone inspired. All I wanted to do was give the artists a chance to have professional branding but they didn't see the vision now have to move on no hard feelings its just business and you know I wish them well but I won't be working with anyone who doesn't want to do their end of the work, doesn't answer important calls, and doesn't take business seriously. Now it's about my bottom line and profit, and if it doesn't make either it doesn't make sense.

As I said people can't say I didn't hold up my end because I know I did no more free work I need to get paid this isn't a hobby this is my dream and I want to eventually do it 24/7 for a living. I am done with mediocrity and half a** work I am trying to make up for it and make sure every generation in my family can eat off of my success for years to come. Surround yourself with who you want to be or you will lose yourself if you don't let go of people that don't want to be better or be the greatest.
