I'm regular. I'm a 23 year old who likes sports, kicks, clothes, music and women. I also happen to do my thing. I'm from Brooklyn with a Jamaican background. I'm always in some shit and I like that because I get bored easily. I'm just a normal dude...
So when i go places and people hit me up like "Yo, I heard you were doing your thing, How could I get down?"...i sorta get turned off.
- Ya'll dont "know" me. A lotta people just see my random ass tweets or saw that I've been in the "industry" at some spots. At least ask me to see if what you think of me is true and adjust accordingly.
- If you're interested in something, the next step is to research it. Why was i interested in Sony (my first stint ever)? Well, I've always had a love for music and wanted to "feel" my way around and get my foot in the door how I could. I then began to research Sony and relevant music sites etc...my point is research.
- I LOVE networking and meeting new people. I also make it a point not to shit on anyone because i believe you never know where people can/will end up.
At the same time, you have to learn to approach people on some "real" shit. Not begging. Not dickriding. Not fiending. Just regular. People are used to being sweated all day long and when you appeal to their ego....they know there's usually an ulterior motive behind it.
I was @ a BBQ this weekend and a friend mentioned I do what I do and this dude who was ZOOTED just was trying to ask me all these questions about my company and shit. I was cordial about it and I dont knock anyone who smokes (as long as it doesnt interfere with their productivity) but it just didnt look good.
I got people telling me "Yo, I need to get down with ya'll"....with no one getting back about setting up an meeting where we all can feel each other out. I've been told I'm very perceptive of people. i'm the type to just size people up. I'll walk in a room, see the nearest exits and just scan faces.
So, people see the pics and shit of us @ parties and think it's something sweet. They dont see the real work it takes to run your own business and to do certain things.
I could care less usually, but I just wanted to vent.
