I have learned so much about the business I'm in from past experiences.
1. Working at record companies in college taught me I didn't want to sign a contract as an unsigned author. I wanted to be in control of my product and image. This was '93, '94 before Jay-Z, Puffy and Master P made it grassroots. I saw how artists who were platinum owed the record company. I also saw how complex the contracts were. This influenced my decision to go to law school.
2. Price Productions: my Dad ran a video and audio business in the 80s and 90s. He was very professional- business cards, T-shirts the whole 9. He videotaped weddings, graduations, and provided the sound system as well. I learned punctuality, presentation and word of mouth is your best marketing tool.
3. Gal Ben Haim- he came to the US with very little and has built a successful locksmith business and property management company. He taught me to reinvest the money I make back in the business and to take calculated risks after the bills are paid.
4. Mary Kay taught me God, family and buisness in that order. Also that making money can be fun and you need a team.
5. Shatana Johnson taught me to always have a cash box with change and multiple ways people can buy your item and to always do everything in excellence.
6. Kimya Jones taught me to be relentless.
7. Iyanla Vanzant taught me that I could self-publish and make an impact.
8. Beyonce taught me the sneak move is the way to go!
