MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT READY
It is simple though. Success cannot only be measured in financial terms. Finances are a great start though. It will get you there. It will just; not keep you there. These hyper sensitive times, require a new strategy. For people who are behind on the times, it will be an uphill battle to get up to speed. The best part though, is that once they are flying, they will be unstoppable.?
There plenty of books to help you; both on and off line. A library card is deadly. Combine that with the internet and you will have the power. New age companies have an all new approach. I will give you a few examples as best as, I can. I know that it does not come close but, it may help you on your journey.?
Let us all start by layers. Lets be nit picky and go into all of the little details. In fact. You are a lot more powerful than you realize, just because you are willing to put in the time. Time is, and will always be; your most valuable asset. For starters, we need to hold on, to the importance of looking professional. You should look good in your office, to host for your clients. You should look good at the internet cafe as well; where you are representing your brand. You should look in place at the park, as much as an art gallery, or a business convention center.?
Visually; you should be able to present your resume at any moment and time; and look good enough to spark the conversation to get you the position. No matter what the industry or field is. Number two. Just like Batman has his trusted utility belt. You will need gear.?
Lets use the basics, for today. You will need a smartphone. This will be your bridge. You can administrate your phone line, voicemails and texts. You will also need a portable computer. Like a laptop, or an ipad; these days. Here you can manage all of your emails with your computer, and all of your marketing outlets with your tablet. Just like on your smartphone, you can funnel everything, and cram it; into one space/ place. But, you will see eventually, that this creates bottle necks, for your flow state of creativity.?
You will need a ride. Maybe Uber or Lyft. The local bus line, or railways. A bicycle, skateboard, roller blades, scooter, or a combination of all. Mobility will be as good as money in the bank. Now, you are virtuous. You can travel all over your market. Wherever business is, or may be. You are also available, world wide; through technology. Maybe you, or your business has a website, with an online store component. Or, you are part of a unique forum online, where the interest align; with all of your products or services.?
Perhaps you have a physical location, or office and warehouse space but, online you also host a presence. By being mobile, you can now control all of the assets, in your investment portfolio. This may very well, just be your business, franchise or brand. As an example. Now, you are up to speed, on the very basic level; one.?
The following step is a dual core processor. You can educate yourself, as you learn all new qualities, to improve your businesses. Your portfolio will be divided into two parts. You have your personal life, and your life as an entrepreneur. Both can affect each other, and have a serious impact. They should be kept separate, as you, yourself become a franchise.?
The moment you reach any level of celebrity status, you are public property. Just like when you are in public, you are representing all of your family and loved one. The same is true, for your franchises and for your brands. You are a walking billboard, for all that you do. Only at this interval, can we, and should we; incorporate social media. For. Business. Only.?
Not for personal use.?
You are still a grasshopper. Young Skywalker.?
Content creation is the new marketing. This is the language of the future, and the only ones that your clients speak. This is the only way, to gain an audience with them. They do not process data, in the way that we did; growing up. Lets try to be understanding here, as this is equally new, to all of us. You as an entrepreneur, and your clients as well.?
Most of the Universe, is online. Just like we are; here. This is the true market place; even when we have a physical store. To give you an example, running a good business in very important. Although, how that business is presented online, to all new potential clients is even more important. This is the driving engine, to get traffic inside your stores.?
The traffic is no longer measured by cars, frequenting avenue A, for example. People are more efficient and are constantly bombarded with data; everywhere you look. But, what they seek out, in the world of the internet and the metaverse, guarantees what the outcomes, will be. The profit is made at the purchase point; right? The same is true online. Once a prospective client seeks out, abc; you, need to be one of those, three choices.?
Every piece of content that you create, is an additional layer, towards building your brand.? This content, lives on the could; forever. People are peaked by their interests. Peoples interests, drive their attention. Seth Godin, advises to make things that you love, for people who care. What you do, must be meaningful, at every exchange. This applies to you, and to your clients. Its kind of like Zen. Nothing has to be forced.?
I am an artist. I am also a business man. As an entrepreneur, I will naturally connect with like minded individuals. My fans for music, also understand that my career is a business. Out of all of the hours, available to me each day; I am only performing live, and recording music, and doing interviews for a limited amount of time. The rest is the actual work, in the office, with all publicity, marketing and promotions. Making sure that all channels of distribution are working. And all other logistics, with my personnel.?

I am building the platform, to release my films, as I am completing my films. Does that make sense? Billionaires think in increments of decades. I am so happy with the future; already.

The metaverse is here. I own Polygon.?

The future of music, is film. Films will become interactive. Why build my catalog, with an inclination in films; to sell to a studio, when I can start my own film company; now. This for me, adds an extra layer to protect my music catalog, like my NFT’s. Furthermore, by establishing the networks now, I secure my own digital distribution for the future. Without any middle, third parties getting involved. We have to think in the long term, what will be the benefits of building your brands; today.?
Don’t you just wish that you could see Steve Jobs, during his developmental stages? How much could you learn there? Well ladies and gentlemen, you are Steve Jobs today. You are Oprah Winfrey.

It is cluster of people, online with their laptops open, their cell phones going; their tablets and some good coffee. They all have wireless headphones or wired, like I do; taking care of business. They are joking and laughing, consuming content; while creating and sharing content.?
This is the secret formula. It is hard work, dedication, sacrifice. It is pain, blood, sweat and tears. There is no escalator. You have to take the stairs to success. You got to bust your ass every day. I do. How about you? Are you bullshiting? You are only bullshiting yourself by the way.?
My first YouTube channel was about cars. My first podcast was about cars. Those two things grew into life, and business; as my life changed. Those were my business Wonder Years; for me. I though life was all about my car collection, and so that is where my focus had gone. Once I left, where I had gone; I came here. I grew up. My audience has also grown up, with me.?
It does not matter if it was music. Or business, or life or Bitcoin. or NFT’s. The process was documented. I was afraid of speaking publicly but, I could perform for a crowd of 100,000. I had to challenge myself to start my radio program; before my podcast. In fact the avatar, and the logo for my program, was a picture of Cloud Break, in a fancy wine glass; sitting next to my MacBook Pro.?
I had to start my radio show, drinking wine, to ease the tension and break the ice. Bitcoin changed my life. I finally had something to hold onto, and call my own. When NFT’s started to gain traction; I knew that this would forever be the future for me. I used it for marketing, and promotion for my own businesses, and as a way to provide therapy for my business partners.?
Little by little, I shared more and more. I am an avid student of business and life. My fan base grew each week, with every new episode. Each month I had a new celebration and grew to millions online; all over the world. Underground, in the dark web. This was all basic training, for my podcast era. It may have stated with cars, music, wine, business, life, health, technology, advice but, it grew to be something all on its own.?
I smoke weed. The good shit from Amsterdam and California. That also helped me to connect with the medical community. I learned that there are multiple elements that I bring to the table, and to ignore that would limit me, and my future growth. I embraced it and evolved. I did many automotive films, and educational documentaries; just on automobiles. I am one of the wolds leading car experts and historian; on my journey. It is one of my loves, and my passion.?
For the future; my new YouTube automotive channel, and the automotive podcast will go hand to hand with my automotive magazine; here on Linkedin. I am a musician. I am an artist. But I am also an entrepreneur. I am a writer. I am a composer as well. But that is not all that I do, or all that I am, or all that I have to bring to the table.?
I own a real estate company, as well as a technology company; as much as FUTURE TECH PLUS.?
