When they filter him down like this. He's a ? Genius. No pauses, no this is what we do in harlem talk. Just Jewels, in pure form. And to answer the question at the end. I'll always put up my own money as long as my idea can be executed with my own money. If not, i'll either build to it, or if it's time sensitive, or some other circumstance, i'll borrow. Elon musk is a good example of an idea too big to put up your own money.

If you ain't getting it out the streets or got a hook up for cash, following rule one is going to ruin everything. You need a stable income just to keep yourself a float and that 9 to 5 can be that ship. The rest is the usual stuff any self employed person will tell you.

stop nuttin in hoodrats
always ? hoes in the ?
? teagues
never ? superhead
-
This looks like some ? they compiled that Dame had nothing to do with. It was a good watch tho
-
11th rule. Never wear the same socks twice.
He said that ? on MTV Cribs many years ago. -
Rule number 12
Don't give a ? about your kids. -
Rule 4 contradicts rule 1
Almost stopped listening after that...
Dame obviously still thinks it's the 80s-90s out here but ? aint gettin street money like they was back then so it's counter-productive to tell these youngins to lose the 9 to 5 -

when you work a 9-5 you get comfortable and complacent.
when you aint got no steady income...you go into survival mode -
Write down 1 objective and then add on.

@yellowtapesport
Rule 1 is long term, Rule 4 is short term. Your hustle is a lot more healthy when it can stand on its own and grow without pressures of every day life. When you can be secure in using a business's profits to grow the business then the business stands a better chance to thrive. When you work a 9-5 forever, you're stuck in that 9-5 forever. You can either participate in the market, or be a slave to it, so if it's in you, why not be a participant. Getting out and gettin to it on your own is a long term thing, but you gotta pay your bills while whatever venture you're trying to blow up, blows up.
never risk what you have and need, for what you don't have and don't need.

If you made 12 dollars you put 7 away, you live off the 5 and neva eva ? witcha safe

But if you aint got a steady income...you can't put up your own money to start a business. And, survival mode for most ? usually involves doing something to get money that ? aint really gettin money off of no more.. -

Yep. It be surprising what you come up with when you aint got that job. Whole different mentality. You aint got to "run the streets" necessarily either. Meanwhile that job can be/is limiting and you got that eating up your time and energy. Just sayin i get his point for the most part. -
So I guess all you nigs that's unemployed got that GOAT business plan, right
FOH
? ain't that easy (PAUSE) -
Having a ? ton of money does not = success.
This ? lost his kids.
Ain't no amount of money I can get can make me feel successful if I lost my kids
Having love of my family good health and enough money to paid all bills at least 3 months in advance is very successful IMO. -

Nobody said work a 9-5 forever..but Dame insinuates that you should quit your job ASAP..BUT use your own money to start your business. My question is, with NO JOB, how do you acquire the capital it takes to start a business?
Where's that 12 dollars comin from Mr. Scarface???
My only point is the average ? ain't got hustles like that no more, so to encourage them to quit something stable and swing into the wind is ridiculous.
I've got one thriving business and 2-3 failed businesses (not proud of that) but without my 9-5 which I still work, my ship would've sank a looooooooonnnng time ago. -

Stating a business is a gamble if you not willing to risk it all keep gettin yo ass up at 7 for wherever you work. Dont encourage fear in other ? because you dont believe inyou -
Nah, when you take the steps of starting your business all your focus shifts there.. You start to do "just enough" at your 9-5 to not get fired cause you focused on your business (even tho some ? wit no business roll like that lol).. I wouldn't advise you to drop the 9-5..
PS.. Does same have a bad work history? Cause despise jobs my ? .. Why would ANYBODY work for him? Lol -

No ? , YOU average ? don't got hustles like that no more. It's not encouraging them to quit, it's encouraging them not to settle. But while you're in the process of not settling, make sure your lights are on at the crib and you can eat every night. Basically, don't quit your job until your dream can supply your income on its own. I thought what I said was pretty logical. -
My problem with his advice is that it basically only applies to people who have some money to spend. There is no shortage of options for those people. When someone lays down 10 rules for going from nothing to something legally, then you've got something worth listening to.

Rule 13

Do you own a business ? ? -
Yall still aint saying where the start up money comin from...
I got businesses..do U? Where did your start up money come from? Your mamma?
FOH with the speculations.. -
I dont know where other nggas at but im in DC. Nggas out here got govt jobs, "9-5", but in a lot of cases workin from HOME, pullin down 100k, and THEN go to school/consult/do IT/sing/club promote, etc
I simply cant respect the 'boss life', 'F a 9-5' mindset bc i came for the money. If im makin more money than you i could care less that you dont have a boss. Nggas out here bustin they ass to own their own business and pulin down half of what a ngga sitton at a desk does.
What it is to me is certain nggas like Dame just cant exist in that professional setting and literally dont eant to 'dress up'. Like i literally know nggas like that
