[Stay Seeking]

no thanks, i'll stick to listening to Dame Dash interviews and Jay-Z records.

If that's the only people you see as successful black men then I feel sorry for you.

 

[Scuti]

So good black products don't sell themselves?


If black entrepreneurs say the thing what will y'all say

This.

N your case you focused more on marketing and less on a good product. Don't good products sell themselves? And is it good business to put more money in marketing then in a good product?

Respectable Black entrepreneurs will say race specific advice that an aspiring black person needs to hear.

Luck

determination

a good product

an industry where there is a lot of money

Mastery of knowledge concerning the business you want to get involved in

Non stop work

Stepping on the competition if left with no other option.

You don't have to like them, but taking the advice of billionaires regardless if they're white or not is never a bad idea. Take what they say and adjust it to your lifestyle being a black man. Disregarding their advice because they aren't black is stupid at best.

I just want to know how much money and influence their parents had before I give them an honest listen.

If a "self-made" billionaire's parents went to Harvard and made ~500K/year, that guy can't tell me much that will apply to me.

From homeless to billionaire

Pretty much echoing the same thing billionaires are saying in a way

Water is a good product, bro. It's a non-differentiated good. Selling bottled water is mostly a marketing thing.

Though, there were some fundamentals that I didn't have down that could have spared me a lot of headache.

My next go around will be better. Only because I learned the hard way.

These dudes are saying the same thing

How does that show that the white billionaires are acknowledging and giving advice about the racial factor?

 

[Mowgli]

Echoes another billionaire who said you have to shake up the status quo and if you make changes you will get in trouble eeeeez if you don't make trouble you won't get anywhere
