Making Athletes Make Money

On 10.27.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

Everyone hears about athletes and their super sized contracts.

Everyone hears about athletes and their super sized contracts. The reality is that athletes more than ever need to focus on earning money off the field, court, or baseball diamond in order to secure their future. This is what we refer to as passive income. Playing sports is considered earned income. This means that you only get paid to play ball.

On top of that, if you get injured, in most cases, you will not get paid. In professional football, you get paid based upon incentives and meeting certain measured accomplishments on the field. If you don’t meet certain on the field goals, you don’t get paid. Athletes and their representatives need to always focus on off the court or off the field money. But how?

Bill Duffy, owner of BDA Sports in Walnut Creek, California, is one of the premiere sports agencies in the NBA. The company has a sports marketing division of their agency that helps athletes earn passive income and get endorsement deals and make other money. BDA does more than just focus on endorsements. They focus on the athletes image to the community and build personal brand awareness of the athlete to consumers and the public.

BDA Sports has an impressive roster of talent that includes the NBA’s best athletes such as Steve Nash, Rajon Rondo, Yao Ming, Greg Oden and others.

How To Break Out Of Jail

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

Believe it or not, physical jail starts with mental and emotional destruction of human life. Physical jail is simply an outward expression of an inner jail that lies dormant within a person’s mind. If you are in an emotional/mental jail, your mind will take every conceivable action to put you in a physical jail cell for a nice long bid.

[picapp src="0/7/d/0/Oscar_De_La_e99d.jpg?adImageId=6645529&imageId=2923810" width="380" height="570" /]

To break out of the physical jail or incarceration, we must first deal with the emotional and mental jail that shackles young black youth. Building better prisons is not a crime solving exercise. It deals with the effect but not the cause of emotional jail. Now, I’m not ignorant and I know that our society has real criminals that commit real crimes just because they have the devil within them.

Some people love to shoot, destroy, rape, and kill others. There is nothing that you will ever do to heal and stop a true criminal from being a true thug. I do believe that some people, and I have met many of them when I speak at prisons, love crime. They love hurting people. They have murdered people and will never repent. These people don’t need to break out of jail and they need to sit right where they are and not be allowed to hurt others with heinous crimes.

This is for those who are doing bids and are incarcerated over very poor decisions and very poor actions. You can change. You can do it.

The Guide To Surviving An Economic Tsunami

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

A real Tsunami or massive flood like the one that hit New Orleans impacts low lying areas first and foremost with complete and total destruction. The same thing holds true for economic tsunamis. The economic kind first rears it’s head and impacts those who are economically and sometimes mentally in low-lying areas.

A real Tsunami or massive flood like the one that hit New Orleans impacts low lying areas first and foremost with complete and total destruction. The same thing holds true for economic tsunamis. The economic kind first rears it’s head and impacts those who are economically and sometimes mentally in low-lying areas.

[picapp src="d/e/b/8/Antonio_Margarito_v_6b17.jpg?adImageId=6636944&imageId=3697922" width="380" height="265" /]

To survive this, we need to move from economic low levels to medium or higher levels up the economic ladder. We must be focused on getting out of low-lying mental areas that will always be destroyed first. To get out of flat areas, you must first be focused on getting out. This means that you cannot become comfortable with the low level. You must recognize that the low level will always get destroyed and it’s only a matter of time before you sit right in the eye of the storm unable to move out of the path of destruction.

The first step is awareness and a non-acceptance of the condition of being in a flat area. The second step is in knowing full well that an economic tsunami will hit. It is only a matter of time. Do not become complacent with this and feel that everything is ok and that you don’t need to get out there. Get out. You must make a plan to get out and move up the economic ladder and improve the life of you and your family.

Now, I know most people are going to say that this is much easier said than done. This is not true. You can get out and move up the ladder. You must be willing to do whatever it takes to do this though. You must be committed to changing yourself and your life. You must be hyper ready for change and you must be prepared to take action right now to move your life out of your present condition.

The Mis-Education of Cash Money

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

The bible and my mother used to say “Money is the root of all evil.” To a certain degree, I believe this because greed and the pursuit of cash money has gotten so many young black brothas and sistahs thrown directly in jail.
[picapp src="3/d/3/1/5_Million_Dollars_1a96.jpg?adImageId=6629060&imageId=4288061" width="380" height="242" /]

The bible and my mother used to say “Money is the root of all evil.” To a certain degree, I believe this because greed and the pursuit of cash money has gotten so many young black brothas and sistahs thrown directly in jail.

[picapp src="3/d/3/1/5_Million_Dollars_1a96.jpg?adImageId=6629060&imageId=4288061" width="380" height="242" /]

Money itself, if used properly, is a great thing. Money can change your life and make life much better and easier. Money attached to good people is great and a great goal to have. Pursuing cash money itself, can get you locked up. I speak to many people in jail in my prisoner outreach program that say that were locked up for pursuing some sort of cash money.

This allowed me to start seeing why my mother used to say that “money is the root of all evil.” I would like to change this and say that greed is the root of all evil. Money is good. Greed is bad and will kill you and all of your dreams. Black people want material items so bad that often times we will do anything to get a watch, a car, some shoes, and some clothes.

This wanting is what leads us on a path of un-righteousness. The images of this cash money done by rappers also leads us directly on this path thinking that because these rappers flaunt it that we now need it just as bad to show that we are powerful just like the rappers are perceived.

Pursuing cash money and walking around with a wad of $100 bills is bad. This is not a good thing. Investing your money is a good thing. Waving hundreds in the air is not what you want to pursue no matter how flashy it looks and feels. The more you wave hundreds in the air, the more people want to take you off the planet and put you in a casket or jail.

The Get Out Of Jail Guide

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

The first thoughts that you have when you get out of jail are “damn, shit, fuck, gotdamnit, etc.” You start wondering where the hell everybody is and why no one came to see you and why mostly everyone stopped accepting your collect calls. You then go back into “damn, shit, fuck, gotdamnit” and [...]

The first thoughts that you have when you get out of jail are “damn, shit, fuck, gotdamnit, etc.” You start wondering where the hell everybody is and why no one came to see you and why mostly everyone stopped accepting your collect calls. You then go back into “damn, shit, fuck, gotdamnit” and start wondering what the hell are you going to do since you have this gotdamn felony on your back.

[picapp src="7/8/1/5/CalifPrisons_f860.JPG?adImageId=6627610&imageId=6505321" width="380" height="253" /]

First of all, here’s what not to do. Do not head straight back to the block that you used to fuck around on and got locked up on. Realize too, that your crew that you thought would be down for you are just not there. They’re not supposed to be there for you like that and even if they are, they will lead you right back to another bid fuckin’ around with them.

Yes, you were in jail for some time and this also put you in a mental jail where your mind does not think that you can change. You now have prison walls in your mind and although you got your dress outs and are out of the physical prison walls, you are still confined in a cell in your mind.

This must change. You must realize that you don’t have to go back to the streets in order to make money. Yes, you have a felony. Yes, that stops you from getting some jobs but we have a cleanup job to do with your mind and you need to believe that you can clean this shit up.

Your freedom lies in your ability to get an education. You must learn. You must not believe that you cannot get educated. It’s the lack of education most likely that got you a bid in the first place. You must stop believing in greed and cash money.

How To Mount A Comeback

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

The key to mounting a comeback when you are down and out lies in not believing in failure. Failure is a natural component to life. Failure is normal. It is not the end. In baseball, you are considered a champion if you fail 7 times out of 10, yet succeed 3 times out of 10 consistently.

[picapp src="3/7/7/2/Tour_of_Ireland_0970.jpg?adImageId=6624551&imageId=6109967" width="380" height="260" /]

The key lies in what you believe about yourself. You must believe in success more than you believe in failing. You must acknowledge the failure but not dwell on the failure and take it for what it is; a deep learning experience. Failure is the opportunity to learn from that mistake and keep pushing forward.

You can comeback as long as you are alive and breathing. You cannot come back if you are dead. Dust yourself off and put your energy into succeeding only. It doesn’t matter where you’re at in your life. You can bounce back if you believe that you can bounce back. It doesn’t matter what your closest friends think. It doesn’t matter what your family thinks about you. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks other than what’s in your mind about you.

If your third eye (minds eye) is blind, you will never be able to see yourself succeeding. You must do whatever it takes to clear this third eye and see yourself as victorious today regardless of circumstances. You must believe in you more than anyone else believes in you.

Successful Entrepreneurs Never Stop

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

The key to becoming a success in your entrepreneurial life is to never stop. An entrepreneur may encounter bumps in the road of life and business life and may even appear to slow down. As soon as the turbulence stops, a true successful businessperson never stops for a minute.
[picapp src="c/e/a/9/39th_NAACP_Image_24d1.jpg?adImageId=6624034&imageId=1509696" width="380" height="579" /]

The key to becoming a success in your entrepreneurial life is to never stop. An entrepreneur may encounter bumps in the road of life and business life and may even appear to slow down. As soon as the turbulence stops, a true successful businessperson never stops for a minute.

[picapp src="c/e/a/9/39th_NAACP_Image_24d1.jpg?adImageId=6624034&imageId=1509696" width="380" height="579" /]

An entrepreneur always drives ahead and moves forward. I’ve seen people broke without a dime still pushing ahead and pushing their products forward. To become a success, you can’t take a day off and slow down. You might have to stop for a minute to re-adjust your plans, play the waiting game, or wait to get stuff done when conditions in the market change. But, this doesn’t mean that you should stop all together. Keep driving and keep moving and success will meet you on that path.

Success does not lie on a dormant and lethargic path of life. It never has and it never will. Success lies on a path where people do things every day. This is why opportunity is always presented to people who are always moving and doing something legitimate, adventurous, exciting, and with integrity. Those people always have the “it” factor and always wind up in something awesome. Why? This is because success lies directly on their life path.

They are not successful because they got lucky. They are successful because they constantly strive to create new opportunities for themselves. Keep creating and opportunity will seek you.

How To Survive Living a Black Dangerous Life

On 10.25.09, In 1, by admin

Being black in America has proven to be very dangerous and deadly in 2009. High school kids have been killed, athletes have been jailed, and rappers are being put behind bars at a faster pace than ever before.

Being black in America has proven to be very dangerous and deadly in 2009. High school kids have been killed, athletes have been jailed, and rappers are being put behind bars at a faster pace than ever before.
[picapp src="d/0/8/e/Jesse_Jackson_Meets_637a.jpg?adImageId=6620434&imageId=6743712" width="380" height="560" /]

Here’s what to do to stay alive and survive in America. Education, education, education. I cannot say it any clearer. Your opportunities increase exponentially with education. I’m talking about finishing high school with a good grade point average, going on to college and graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science type of degree, and heading on to business school.

No more excuses. There are all types of programs and grants and loans available to get an education today. President Obama has made sure of that. It’s now in the hands of black youth to take action and get educated. This is a state of emergency and must be implemented immediately.

Anyone who lives in the ‘hood should move. I suggest moving as far away from the ghetto as possible as this increases your life expectancy greatly. The ghetto is filled with strife, anger, despair, and destitution. Time for change and time to leave that behind. It’s time for a new way of life and a new glory. Get out of the ‘hood mentality, get educated, and no more excuses. You owe yourself glory and greatness.

How To Create A Millionaire Mind

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

When I speak to youth and prisoners, I always hear the question “Do you think I can become a millionaire? How?” Yes, I do think that you or anyone else can become a millionaire. Yes, I’m talking to you because I’m talking to me.
[picapp src="8/5/8/a/The_Summer_Fair_7d91.JPG?adImageId=6619779&imageId=5055206" width="380" height="271" /]

When I speak to youth and prisoners, I always hear the question “Do you think I can become a millionaire? How?” Yes, I do think that you or anyone else can become a millionaire. Yes, I’m talking to you because I’m talking to me.

[picapp src="8/5/8/a/The_Summer_Fair_7d91.JPG?adImageId=6619779&imageId=5055206" width="380" height="271" /]

The first step is to understand that millionaire’s have a mindset first and foremost more than anything. A millionaire does not believe there are limits and ceilings to their money and income. I turned down a job for $115,000 per year a few years ago not because I didn’t like the salary but because my money had a ceiling on it and I pitched to the firm attempting to hire me that I wanted to close $3 Million deals regularly and get a percentage of sales. They declined so I declined.

This is the mindset of a millionaire. You will only see value if you can sell something, make a profit, and not have a ceiling on your money. You will take any measure to do this. It doesn’t matter what’s in your pocket today because you are building your wealth program for the future. It’s true secret lies in what’s in your mind. You must also protect your mind and shield it from friends/opponents who do not believe in this mentality.

Gerard Spinks is the CEO of Spinks Industries; a web content developer and online marketing agency based in Atlanta, GA USA. You can get started with a comprehensive marketing plan at http://www.spinksindustries.com.

Most people are programmed to believe in going to work and working for a living. Millionaires are programmed for business. They are programmed to run businesses and make a profit. They are programmed to learn how to do this and take action to make this happen. Yes, you can be a millionaire. Change your mind, change your life.
