People You Party With vs People You Do Business With

I am neccessaritly the guy you party with, because that’s really not my type of scene, I am more of a laid back casual, humorous person, that takes things in and think outside the box.  I am definitely the guy you do business with though, the one with the manager skills, the fine details, the creative approach and dedication to see things through to success.  Some people can’t break the two.  It’s just a different crowd for different reasons, entertainment and business.

Just like how they say you shouldn’t hire family for business matters, because they might bring you down, by not taking it serious and cutting corners, well that’s almost the same effect here.  You might play ball with the hustlers on the corner, but you wouldn’t invite in your house for a cup of tea and talk stocks, (unless he might be Stringer Bell from “The Wire“) because if two different elements.  You might knock out a big account merger with Mike from accounting, but you won’t want to invite dude to go hunting, extreme skating or riding bmx in the woods, because you are not sure how they will perform in a opposite setting.

I am not writing to say, that it’s not possible for both set of people won’t mix and match in both opposite settings or to stereotype different types of people, but more likely mentioning, in a sensible world or notion, what makes for better sense and better results.  Sometimes you can’t mix and match.

My Inspiration (non family)

Who inspires me?

This question has haunted me for many years when I was trying to discover who I was. From ages 15-18 I had really figured it out. I think my understanding of the world was very critical at that time as times were changing and I wanted to change me. Redeveloping and reinventing me was my major mission for there was no turning back. So I drew upon who have inspired me previous and as of current at the point. In my past I was inspired by (3) sources my cousins & best friend, my parents and my favorite music artist Beenie Man. Today, who inspires me are creative the people, such as artists, marketing executives, advertisements, products , leaders, and anyone who believes strongly in themselves and make the moves or whatever needed to be done to be successful. As much as I draw from many things, there are (3) key people or products I follow that inspires me and it will never change. I immensely respect their progress and their accomplishments and how they operate to be versatile, those people or products are Vince McMahan (WWE), Sean Combs (Diddy) and HBO Entertainment.

I grew up on WWE and HBO and they have both made a mark on me learning new development. Diddy’s story of getting into the industry was very inspiring to me as I had just reach to the United States he was the man which was in the mid 90’s. I love how this people talk and their energy, motivation and hard work to make things possible and to stay very relevant, Vince McMahan is major influence here, because he does whatever he has to no matter what to get things done and survive and still reach out to people. It’s about business before pleasure and that’s how I look at the world too. Among the others there are other people but not as much as the ones listed such Jay Z, Tyler Perry, Usher, Jackie Chan, Ludacris, and Linkin Park in which really keeps me going. I know you may think they all sound in the industry of music and entertainment, but well that is a huge part of my life. I love entertainment. Music fuels my life. If it wasn’t for music and creativity, hard work and determination by my key people, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
