Show notes
Unless you've been living under a rock, you definitely heard that Jay Z, aka Mr. Sean Carter, aka William H Holla, aka Hov, aka you know the rest..., has hit over a billion net worth according to Forbes. This is really significant for three reasons:
- He told us he would and also said he'd be the first to do it...
- He's the first rapper to do it (yeah we know Dr. Dre had the billion dollar deal with Apple but he's a producer)
- He started from the bottom, bottom (Marcy Projects bottom...)
Now of course he was mentioned in other news with the exchange, some people were calling weird, between him and Nicole Curran but what people are missing is the fact that you have two billionaire couples sitting court side at a basketball game. Of course they should talk. That's the whole point. Not just to watch the game but also network... Duh. The closer you are to the court, the bigger the deal.
But anyway, in this episode we examine how Jay Z, yeeeears ago, told us he would hit a billion and we look at the secret sauce that got him there. That secret sauce, my fellow hustlers, is the ability to survive the drought. Numerous times in numerous songs, Billionaire Hov mentions the necessity of being able to live with regrets, guns and roses, and surviving the drought. All of which are related.
You see there will most definitely be times of abundance on your path to success. But you must also understand that there will also be hard times and trying times and it's there where we must really dig deep and step up as the captain of our souls and the master of our fate. So in preparation of inevitable tough times, we must plan in times of abundance for a safety net to have in times of drought. Jay Z's implementation of this was through investments in art, alcohol spirits, music, advertising, media, fashion and more.
And if you've been a good hustler and listened to all of the episodes so far, you'll have certainly heard me mention the importance of multiple streams of income. As a matter of fact the whole purpose of the League of Hustlers Podcast is to document our journey while building multiple streams of income.
Through diversification Jay Z has reached a status that many dream of attaining and more importantly, he has shown us that it is possible... Even for a kid from the projects.
