Jay-z's 6 principles to success!
Be Your Own Biggest Fan…
“Believe in whatever it is you’re doing. If you don’t believe it, no one else will.”
Take Control, Then Let It Go…
“Work really hard and apply yourself in a way that when the job is done, you can look in the mirror and say, ‘I’ve exhausted all possibilities. I’ve done everything to make this right’. After that, let it go: It’s out of your control.”
Focus On The Process, Not The Result…
“People get consumed by the trappings of success. They forget the reason they wanted to do what they wanted to do in the first place. Whether you have zero money or a million dollars, it doesn’t change who you are. Keep yourself inspired.”
Never Act On Your Fears…
“Card players have a saying: ‘Play the cards, not the money’. If your hand is good, it doesn’t matter if there’s $2 on the table or $2,000. You determine your outcome. Don’t make decisions based on the fear. People can be jealous of you and bait you, but you can be mature and handle the situation.”
Use Money The Right Way…
“For some people money can be a burden and lead to bad decisions. But money should make you comfortable so that you don’t have to compromise yourself or do anything just for money. It should give you the freedom to do what you love.”
Don’t Stop Growing…
“Growth doesn’t stop when you’ve become successful. That’s when it starts.”
I love these and read them about once a week to remind myself that there is obstacles and hardships that I am going to go threw to get to where I wanted to be at with Supa Savy and with my life. 4 years ago when I started this company my goal was to have cracking shows in sac, push my artists, work with some of the biggest artists and make it to 5 years. All these goals have been completed except for the 5 year thing. And we have pushed further! We have worked with bigger artists and clubs, expanded our network to as far as Japan. Supa Savy is a squad of 12+ females, and we are well respected in our craft. Of course we have haters but we try to cut them out and continue with our movement. But when I hit 5 years where do I go from there?
I honestly haven't thought about it till 5 mins ago when I re-read these principles. Jay-z is a very inspirational man and he is my idol. I KNOW he had to go threw obsticales and hardships to get where he is at. But sometimes I find it hard to deal with them... sometimes it does get discouraging. But im going to have to keep pushin forward to be successful. My song of the year right now is "successful" by Drake and Trey Songz. I don't want the money, the cars, and clothes... I just wanna be successful! Real talk. You can keep all that. It changes people. I've seen it happen to the most humble people! Sometimes I may get happy about some of the things we have accomplished but like jay-z said "if you don't believe in yourself, no1 else will"
