Created a promotion company
"rent out" nightclubs/venues (reputation for past few years carried me where I dont need to do deposits, my name alone is good enough depositat this point in time, most club owners contact me and not the other way around
)
pay for everything from artists/talent, advertising, promoters/hosts, DJs, flyers, door girl, door guy to watch door girl and my money, only thing I dont pay for is security/bartenders/bottle girls (even though I do help hire them) but new deals structured for new parties will involve splitting all costs with clubs down the middle including their staffing and alcohol costs and they get 50% of my door but I get 50% of their bar
right now I collect 100% door and 15-25% of the bar depending on venue
minimum 1 party per week, but looking to add another party during the week which will be the new deal mentioned above

I Have multiple sources of income, cleared 400k+ last year, what I'm currently focusing on getting this engineering degree and concert promotions with all the entertainment connections I have.
Just did a Migos concert in a flyover state, cleared a cool 97k, but it was a learning experience because shyt almost fukked up (fukking rap shows
)
My goal last year was a million, but shyt got sidetracked, really trying to hit atleast 750k this year though, and it seems like the stars are falling into place.
Brehs in smaller markets, y'all should look into starting investment groups for concert booking and promotions. Places like LA, NYC, Chicago, Houston are usually sewn up to the point nobody else can get in. But all those flyover states and smaller markets are licks if you know the market and recruit/build up a good promotion team.
I've seen cac doctors and lawyers that have never listened to a rap song in their lives making big money off rap shows, because their sons or nephew came to them with the business plan and proof it could work.

I don't make 6 figures yet but my dad and I are building strip malls in Liberia so I can say I'm set for life once I learn how to run a business. No college degree yet but I will get one . I want to be a dentist even though I'm in my mid 20s. I cannot quit I have to keep pushing.
Why Liberia ? Do you have family ties there or is their GDP growing ?
Either way look into Herb and Melvin Simon .... they are both mall billionaires

Okay let's say you want to book an artist, whether this be a bigger artist or a smaller underground artist.
I'll use an example like the Suicideboyz, because even though I don't listen to that shyt I know they make a lot of money in a lot of markets and they don't cost too much.
You get somebody who has to a decent understanding of the local music scene and throwing a concert/event:
- what type of artist can do good numbers out there, (this is even easier now because Shazam and Soundcloud have analytic tools showing what the most looked up song in each city are etc. etc),
- what venues will let you book the artist
- how much can each venue hold
- whether you'll need security or not for the type of fan base you'll be bringing out, and how much that'll cost
- Renting and setting up stages/barricades if needed.
- cost of promotion, etc etc etc
Back to the example, an underground rap group like the suicideboys can easily sell 1000 tickets in a lot of markets. And they have white, suburban fans that will happily pay 50-60 dollars a ticket. 60x1000 = 60k, and their going booking rate for a show is usually 15-20k. Promotion and venue cost for a 1000 people show, plus security gonna be like another 3-10k based on how you do it. But regardless that's anywhere from 30-42k profit from a small show for a relatively unknown rap group that has a niche fan base.
The biggest issue for most nikkas trying to get into the concert shyt is the cash to book the artist, venue, security, etc. Most people don't have 10s of thousands of dollars laying around to invest in a rap show, and the ones that do usually don't just hang around local music scene and college kids to know what artist can make money and how to throw a show. But if you got like 4-5 people you know that good with money and can save up, they each pitch in a percentage of the total cost to throw the show in return for an equivalent percentage of the profits when its all said and done.
You can even start lower and still make a killing if you got somebody with an ear to the streets for all these small bubbling artist, my bro/partner was telling me about a dude named "yung/lil pinch" I never heard of before. But apparently he consistently pulls out 300-500 people at like $30 a ticket, in them small Cali towns around LA and his booking rate is $1500 right now. That's potentially 9000-15000 off a $1500 investment, who can't get 2500 together for the total cost to possibly make $15000, or at least definitely make a profit?

I did get my CPA. A CPA is essential if you want to be competitive, work for a firm/Big 3, etc. Obviously you can live a comfortable life as an accountant without a CPA...if that's what you want fine. But I think most people would rather aim for the highest heights/money/etc.
Many firms and companies will even pay the help you get it. That's how valuable it is.
