***Official Breakfast Club Interview Thread***

A business owner once told me when opening a business the last thing u want to do is front your own money. I'm not the most business savy person but it makes a lot of sense. Same one of those old dudes in the neighborhood that preach something that he s not doing. Telling u how much wrong your doing working but your doing better than him. Let each man pick his own route, how many weak minded dudes gonna take this advice jump off the porch n open a shoe boutique to watch it fail? Too" many chiefs not enough Indians" some of these dudes can't be bosses but some can. But its disgusting to look down on others that chose to work, when envy is probably in a better situation financially than dame.

that just means your a coward and you don't believe in what you are opening...you shouldn't open your own business if you don't think its going to run....

you should be comfortable with fronting your own money knowing and believing it will run...if you don't have that confidence then stop playing with other peoples money and wasting your own time..


i agreed 100% with everything DAME said...hes just too real for a lot of people....breakfast club all it is a gossip show...like two grown men and 1 women who looks like a man sit around and gossip about celebrities...just look at the reality of what you are doing...

like is this your life? dame is right and should have no respect for any of them....
 
A few things that Dame said was true...its just that he be wildin with his presentation n coming across as disrespectful in alotta interviews, had mook lookin like "i aint come here for this" :lol:

We need a thread for Dame Dash TBC Qoutables...
 
Charlamagne be really picking and choosing. That boy was Charmain soft today. Coppin pleas left and right. Letting another grown man cut you off and call you out your name...suggesting you have female traits [emoji]128514[/emoji].

CTG seen Dame's OG and didn't want to go that route. And in regards to Dame, How do yall respect a man, that doesn't give the respect he commands. Talking over everyone and demanding you answer his questions...while refusing to answer yours.

People take different paths in life. In Dame's mind...all of our parents are losers b/c they had bosses, and sacrificed to see us with a better start. I understand what he's saying. My mother is her own boss. I'm extremely proud of her..she's doing well. Being a "boss" is a mindset. Not your occupation. This mindset that what you do or how much you make defines you as a person or man is flawed on so many levels. Dude fronting like he's a boss when he's really a worker. Weak minded dudes will buy into this because he's talking loud, being rude and seeming real. He uses the trick that he holds no punches, and is self assured, when in reality dude is insecure as hell. This dude Dame talks around stuff..to make it fit his narrative. Comical.

Envy coulda countered with I'm sacrificing and setting my sons up by working so hard "so hopefully they won't have to go thru that." I'm sure he can relate.
 
Look, as someone who is in business. Dame sounds like a joke with all this front your own money talk. It just tells you that he's broke and doesn't have relationships or credit to leverage so he has no choice but to do it on his own.

Just about everyone in business uses other peoples money. That's just how things work.

It's not about being a coward or not being confident in your own business. It's about risk management. Everything has a chance to fail for whatever reasons outside of your control. Investing everything you have into your business is a romantic but super wreckless way to manage your funds.

And the idea of never working for someone being some sort of badge on your chest is stupid too. We always work for someone whether it's our boss, the bank, the consumer, etc. Owners of companies are slaves to the consumer more than an employee is. If a business fails, the owner loses all of his investment. The employee just loses his job and can find another without a problem. There are owners who are stressed as hell, especially startups. They don't take days off. They don't have the luxury because if they do, they might lose their customer base. Look at Dame. Even someone as successful as he was, the customer stopped caring about him and look how quickly he fell. There are downsides to everything and we all work for someone else, that's how you get money whether you're a boss working for your customer or an employee working for your boss to earn a wage.

The whole "you're not a man if you have a boss" just sounds like insecurity that doesn't even need to be addressed. He talks about "not talking about another man's money" then talks about Envy's money and situation the entire interview. It would have been easy to roast him back after seeing the trailer for his movie he was promoting, but they're radio personalities so they have to be at least a little respectful.

Yall gotta get out of your feelings he's attacking the mentality of "you need a job or need to work for someone etc " not people personally.

If you're not looking at it from that mentality you can filter through his flawed presentation.








They built rocafella putting up their own money but now hes broke using the same formula that made him rich

It's the same thought process not the same formula because he doesn't want to work with "outsiders".

Regardless of all the bridges he's burned If he started playing the game again he could get to a higher plateau.

Don't confuse an initial investment with how to properly scale a business.


Based on his logic Dame would've never went to Def Jam for distribution. He would've "fronted himself"

We all make initial investments. I made one in mine, but my company grosses over a million a year now. If I funded my entire business myself that would be nothing more than straight up negligence. In something like entertainment really the initial investment is the entertainer.

I'm not trying to make you agree with me, but I'll give you some game.

You start a business using someones else's money, that business puts 200k in your pocket this year.

You continue to scale your business with that other persons money and you then now take your 200k and invest it into x or loan it into y etc.

If you only worked off your investment how much ground did you cover? What do you do when you see a shift in your business? Dude gave a great example earlier. How you think Donald Trump can sustain multiple recessions? Wouldn't have happened if he was fronting every project he did from his own pocket.

i don't know how all of y'all run...

some of you guys just don't get it....if you are working out of necessity to live, then you should always be striving to get out of that position and be your own boss....90% of this worlds population content working 9-5 from the age of 24-65 and then some how in some fantasy world retiring...

guess what you are a clown if you are working 9-5 more than 5-8 years in my honest opinion...


about me:

I've never worked for anyone in my LIFE....i hustled and invested all of my hustle money into a startup/new business....first year i struggled...second year i started taking money home and now i do 500K a year....

but would i invest 40-60k if i didn't believe this would work? obviously not...do i want to take loans and be trapped in the most disgusting thing called interest? no...i am not a slave to this society and im not going to play by their rules....if i have the capital to put up for a business and obviously the idea, then im going to risk it all on my own confidence and let it roll...

im not going to let others eat percentages off of me just because im weak and insecure about what will happen to my money....


the ultimate goal for everyone should be to an entrepreneur...once you have that set and whatever business you decide to get into starts making you as much money as a 9-5 would...you should be focusing on how to get to the point where you can make that money WITHOUT EVEN WORKING....

1) save up capital
2) come up with a business idea, or learn a skill you can market and sell
3) build your business up to the point where you can live comfortably just as if you were working 9-5 40 hr a week job being your own boss
4) work towards building up your business to the point where you don't even have to be there and are making that money..

5) is when you truly leap from upper middle class to (lower) upper class....and your set...live your life and be comfrotable with what you have as a man and live as a KING being your own boss

if you don't have the motivation, mindset, or hunger to do the above 5 things, you are automatically a BETA male and that is what he is saying...you are going to accept the status quo and go work for someone your whole life and have nothing to give to your kids or your family...

DAME so on point...this interview was the best one as of yet...and highly motivational...
 
I think the fact that so many people have hurt feelings is proof positive that most people aren't cut out to lead.  Dame is dropping gems but people are so in their feelings over what he says about people with jobs, they don't want to listen to hear the advice he's dropping.

To Envy's credit, he was in his feelings at first but in the end he and Angela Yee bossed up and realized the potential of the info they received.

CTG, heretofore known as Chatty Tha Patty (CTP), was acting like the giggly little Sambo that he is the entire time.  You just know the bosses were in his ear encouraging him to wear the Jay Z gear and bring up their buddy Lyor Cohen.

 this . as some one who works , i agree with him 1000% . i just think the abrasive way of delivering his message sounds crazy to people that aren't ready to digest it . 

i also think dame cannot continue to disregard another persons way of life or decisions they make to take care of their family because no one thats interviewed him has disrespected him . . . 
 
I've never heard a rational explanation for shaming someone for working a 9-5 regardless of time worked. It's not adding up to me at all.

Then there's his viewpoint that owing money isn't a big deal if it's not enough to 'him'. Are you kidding me? People get killed over 2k where he from and he frontin on 100 like it's small change.

more power to y'all rocking with his message about being a boss and not saving money. I've heard it twice and I can't rock with it. The amount of involvement needed to get a business up and running successful enough to lay back and do what I want sounds less desirable than putting money into real estate or stocks and doing what I like at my job.
