Putting in work as takeaway 158:

  Yeah, and I’m just filling up this daily planner

Getting busy ‘cause I’m a Star – no Spangled-Banner

 Drake       ♦       (Light Up ♦ Thank Me Later)

 Takeaway #158:           

  • Outlook and Calendars are meant to be filled at all grids, because the opposite of networking is not working.

  • Stars cannot rest on their laurels (spangled banners), put in work today.

Takeaway #225: On change and discipline with Tyler the Creator

Hated the popular ones, now I’m the popular one

Also hated homes too ’til I start coppin’ me some

Tyler the Creator ♦ Rusty

 

50K for the last check

But the dollar menu still be on deck

Tyler the Creator ♦ Whoa

 

Takeaway #225:  The New York Times focused on relatability and the maturation of Tyler the Creator (See, NYT on Tyler the Creator).  BPM focues on the ability to play in new arenas without a loss of core values and discipline.  Demands for “coppin'” will change, but a financial discipline of the “dollar menu will remain essential today.

Takeaway #222: Gimme The Loot – Sneakas

If you can’t see my skill

Then I’m Jada Pinkett

I make a career off my Will…

I’m like a new Prius  – Know what I mean?

You  don’t have to gas me up – either way I get green

Sneakas & Boldy James  ♦   Gimme The Loot

Takeaway 222:  BPM just loves this cut.  Think: Son of Serch….Sometimes, making money is not about brains, class, or clout – just straight Will-power. (It’s not about Jada, it’s about the chutzpah of it).  Who needs a big ego or status (gassing up)…just clock the green.  Forget about analyzing too much today –  just get paid.  Moreover, have the will and drive not to be denied “green” or a goal.  There is much to be said for sheer audacity, brashness or understated grit.

Data-Discipline-Honesty #173

 I’m a man of God who asked the Devil for some face time.

It’s shade time.  You never see him coming cause you fake, blind

Takeaway #173:  It takes conviction and discipline to both acknowledge the truth of your competitive landscape and to confront crisis and opportunity.  Not discounting the data when they conflict with your convenient hypothesis is what separates the ad hoc worker from the strategic solution-maker.  Ignore big data at your peril.    Remaining wilfully blind to facts, it makes you neither compelling nor a player.  Intellectual honesty suits you best today.
