ROCKSTAR MANIFESTO

First rule of life and business: Life IS FAIR; you get what you deserve (not what someone else deserves)!!!!

**SUPPLY AND DEMAND!!! THE DUDE ABIDES, BUT THE MARKET DECIDES! (YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT) 2nd rule: know what I want to do (or what I

don’t want to do) in life. -Find out what I need to do to execute my plan (how much will it cost in time, sweat-equity, money, education, etc.) -execute my life plan

There are double-standards everywhere, in every level of society: embrace this fact, learn to exploit them.

If you see someone who is successful in what you want to do/be: copy them; do what they did. (Does this make you a sell-out: yes, but a successful, rockstar sell-out)

There are LEADERS, FOLLOWERS, and PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE WAY. Which of the three will you be? (hint: everyone can’t lead all the time…it’s okay to follow someone who is doing right).

CAPITALI$MCapitali$m: -capital= money, cash, currency, profit.

-“ism”= the process or understanding of.

Capitalism is process of making money.

WHAT WILL PEOPLE PAY FOR? (DEMAND)

Insurance: the illusion of security. Paying money to “protect” us financially in case of an emergency. (if J-Lo can insure her butt as a revenue source, you may want to think about selling insurance!)

HOW MUCH AM I WORTH? (DOLLARS AND CENTS)

Qualifications and education/skills training add value because there is less competition.

Corner the market, be the #1 supplier! Find the demand for a product/service, create the

“supply.” Hint: there is little to no demand for a Breezer who

is a mediocre student and has no skills or trade, but thinks he is going to be a professional basketball player even though he doesn’t even play for the team.

What can you do, that other businesses/employees cannot do? What sets you apart from your peers? What do you bring to the table that no one else can bring?

INVE$T!!!! Invest wisely, invest in your future. Appreciation vs. depreciation:

-invest in things that will INCREASE in value.

Prepare for the future (your plan); prepare for retirement.

In life you will work and you will play: Those who spend the first half of their lives

working, will spend the second half playing. (I’m on a boat!)

Those who spend the first half of their life playing, will spend the rest of their lives working!!!

THEN YOU’LL BE FEELIN’ SO FLY LIKE A….
