YOU GON BUY SOMETHING!

If there’s one topic that will be constantly discussed in these life logs, its entrepreneurship baby! Because what is the point of discussing anything else? Lmao! Anyways we have to discuss today, two icons in our culture, Master P and Shaq! Both have accomplished goals every black man in America probably wanted at some time in life, from rapping to basketball and everything in between.

Them boys got it out the mud foreal to attain and maintain a lifestyle acquiring wealth while creating generational wealth (ooo s/o to that generational wealth I will have that for my family in Jesus name no cap)!

Anyways, I was scrolling social media one day per usual and saw a video of Shaq from Business Insider (I believe) that discussed his involvement with all his brands. Then I was on instagram watching Master P promote his own Pancake Mix! That’s when it hit me, I said Damn them boys said “You Gon Buy Something”! I’m not even mad at them boys at all!

I. HAND IN EVERYTHING

You can be a businessman with only one business that has a particular niche or you can be a serial entrepreneur whose business is business! (Don’t let that go over your head beloved). When your business is business your only concern is long as it make sense its gonna make cents! (Boy I did it again check me out). Master P and Shaq have their hands in so many things, you’re going to end up supporting something whether you like it or not! Oh you don’t like my shoes?

Ok buy my music! Wait you don’t like my music? Watch this movie I’m in! Wait you don’t like my movie? Ok slide thru my nightclub and have a good time! Oh you don’t like the club you say? Alright, stay in the house and eat some of this cereal I just whipped up! Oh you trying to stay healthy and not really feeling the sugar from the cereal beloved? Ok, no problem, come to this fitness center I just built!

See their hand is in everything you can think of almost. As a person who don’t want to be boxed into a single career, this gives me so much motivation! I’m going to hit people with the same formula, if you won’t buy this particular thing from me you’re going to get this other thing from me. On that note I leave you with this message beloved, you gon buy something!! lmao

I GOT THE HOOK UP: AN INSIDE LOOK ON NEPOTISM

I GOT THE HOOK UP: AN INSIDE LOOK ON NEPOTISM

 

NEPOTISM —noun 

  1. patronage bestowed or favoritism shown on the basis of family relationship, as in business and politics: She was accused of nepotism when she made her nephew an officer of the firm.

 On a recent episode of ABC’s hit series, “BLACK-ISH”, Andre Johnson contemplates on using his connections to get his daughter Zoey Johnson an internship she needs to get into college. Andre built a career in advertising off his own merit and feels his child should work as hard as he did for her own opportunities. When Andre bring this dilemma to work he finds that his white boss and co-workers have no problem giving their child an opportunity he/she may not have worked especially hard for. This strikes a question whether should nepotism be supported or thwarted ? 

 In my personal opinion nepotism is a key factor to getting ahead and should definitely be supported when applicable. People maintain power by not letting the power leave their families. If an oppressor or competitor is willing to do to keep why shouldn’t we do it to obtain our own power? Andre also came to this same conclusion and ultimately allowed Zoey to use his connections to get an internship. What he comes to find out that she is able to make a name of her own and she did not linger in the shadow of his hard work like he feared. Just like any other person in the world all Zoey needed was a foot in the door and that’s what nepotism ultimately is.
