a dreamer working until it becomes reality
that's exactly what it is because to be a business owner to be a ceo to be an executive
you got to start as a worker know what i and regardless if you're sweeping the mopping if you
opening the doors if you're cleaning the windows wherever you at you got to have a vision you got
to see something that gives you that vision right and that's the day you begin to dream
i knew i wanted to be an entrepreneur riding in the back of my father made he rest in peace
riding in the back of his buick you know those windows down and that breeze felt good i did
love that breeze but i knew i wanted to ride in one of them big nice cars too
yeah windows up and what a ceiling come back you know what i'm saying so uh and that was cool
and around my father my mother it was always cool to dream you know what i mean if i seen
something i like they ain't tell me don't look at that no you see that yeah yeah yeah i see it
i could draw inspiration from almost anything if i'm walking through the airport and i see a small
little cubicle and it could be a a black um independent person selling donuts i could see some
vision in it you know what i mean because krispy kreme had to start somewhere you know what i mean
or i could just be riding through atlanta and see an exit let's say tyler perry studio and say damn
homie got his own exit off the highway wow damn you got to have your own exit off the freeway wow
damn what would that have to be if i had my own exit off the freeway you know what i mean wow
that's where the vision started so i could really draw man inspiration from anything or anyone
um a lot of times you know we do our thing with the alcohol uh-huh a lot of times i'm in uh black
neighborhoods black communities and i go to the liquor stores i may be i was just performing in
houston pull up in texas yo boom we jump out at a liquor store yo it's a small liquor store yo this
such and such and such behind the glass her dad on it your dad on it how long your dad had this for
25 years damn your dad had this for 20. call rose just want to say what's happening wow you know
how did he what did he do to get a liquor store and get money with it he just sit outside lean
on the car and get drunk with everybody else he got money with it and kept it and not his
daughter running it wow you know what i'm saying that's bro yeah that's inspiration to me they're
positive and negatives and they both can be just as valuable you know you may hit a a a stumbling
point and feel like damn but really it's some valuable knowledge you've taken from that and
aside from wale and meek and you know gun play i signed some artists to me that i felt had more
than enough talent to really get money but they may have lacked that drive you know and that's
nothing nobody ever sat me down and explained that to me puff never mentioned me oh yeah it's home to
you no that's something that i had to learn on my own you know what i mean so i apply that to all
the ventures we do i look everybody in the eyes do you really want this because i hope you understand
once i become a part of this every day we get on all platforms and rep our brands not once a week
that's offensive to me every day you ain't thinking about winning every day it's just
like laying your outfit out what we getting money with who we getting money with we gonna make them
feel us every day if you're a business partner of mine when you sit down before you go to bed
i want your chick that's in the bed with you to say y'all you seen what rose did today that's how
i hustle wow that's how i really get down you know what i'm saying and i feel like if you're a real
partner that's what you should be bringing to the table and if you not it's somebody like me that's
on the team and i'm more valuable than you are being an entrepreneur is like rolling a dice it's
all a gamble you chasing a dream and you will take losses of course you take l's but it's like um
once you plant your feet i'm speaking from my personal experience once i plan
once i planted my feeding became uh in a multi-millionaire um
you have more power in the decisions you take yeah and the decisions have to be less um you know you
just could put yourself in better situations you understand to get more money because when you
you're younger you have less access to great advice so so on and so forth you'll be a lot of
your decision making could be desperate you know what i'm saying just because you want that win
just because you need that that that security that that that one gonna bring you
but after you take those losses and as you grow my decision-making you know not a lot better that's
just what i feel like will i ever take another loss i'm sure i will because that comes with
the game and that comes with the gambling that i'm gonna make but i know the decisions i make
is i'm gonna always make the best ones based on the knowledge that i have you know what i'm
saying if you somewhere right now when you're in the middle of a foreclosure that definitely
don't mean you will never own another home that's wrong so don't take it that way you know what i'm
saying right you know what i'm saying and i'm always putting myself and my partners
in the best position we could be in and once i get involved in it i'm gonna go harder than they can
even imagine so we're gonna make it do it again but a lot of times we gotta speak on the l's just
so as when people who watching this when they're struggling just coming off of l or going into a
ella in the middle of a l they understand it ain't over it ain't over me trying to get in the game
where hip-hop wasn't is real is really popular i was coming up in miami what was about dance music
sexy you know chicks and bikinis and that wasn't me i was a fat poor kid you know what i'm saying
i wanted to get some money you know what i'm saying so the raps the music i was making was
they said always was more east coast and that was their opinion and that was cool but i just
knew i had a different vision and everybody really wasn't up to it at the time i feel
wherever they at right now they see it clearly now they see it clearly because i told them from
the beginning every day we hustling we got to get it study the business you want to go into
be realistic with yourself in what position are you to start this business are you the
the key to finances are you the brain what position would you play in this business or
are you both um are you the brain will you run and finance your own business or are you looking
for someone like me that got some paper and would love to invest in your idea if that's the role
you're playing it's time to begin reaching out to the ones with the paper um my drive for success
is what motivates me you understand and that's the only way i can really make myself happy
when i push myself to accomplish something that maybe i couldn't even imagine achieving and so
um that's what still drive me to make music to this day and as far as being an entrepreneur
i meant what i said we coming in this game and we're gonna be the biggest and we ain't gonna
stop we gonna get money everybody that i become partners with they know roseanne telling them
nothing he'll mean and i'ma deliver so you got to deliver matter of fact everybody sitting at
the table got to step this [ __ ] up for 90 days everybody got to do something every day
on every platform they got you know understand when the last time you use your facebook man
it's been a year [ __ ] that we ain't doing that no more when you did this when did you and guess
what let's go through our phones and reach out to some homies and let them know we need them on this
you know what i'm saying you know and it's black entrepreneurs we can't never be afraid
to you know get told no and not saying that's what we expecting but we got to step out there
we got to push the [ __ ] envelope we gotta yo yo yo that's what i need homie oh jose ain't no
you was gonna say that yeah that's exactly what i was thinking about scared of hearing the word no
never don't never get too scared to hear no you gotta push yourself sometimes you gotta push the
envelope you can't be scared to come into a room full of white people and sit down with a big dream
nah i ain't got nobody that i go to and ask give me the words to no i don't do that i don't prepare
for the interview i don't want that nah you just gotta walk in there and just know what's on your
chest know what's on your heart and i'm bringing good business to the table i wouldn't be here
i'm in too you know powerful of a position myself
i don't need to do nothing i'm uncomfortable with i don't need to do nothing while i
feel i'm in debt to somebody right nah we could win together that's what we could do
and i got this idea and i got this vision and i'm gonna go out there and make sure work
