help people start a record label

The hard part is the management of the label.

Sometimes I get stressed out doing it but I’ve recently been reminded of something a friend told me.

“Don’t turn gold into garbage”.

See, I started this venture looking for golden opportunities in the music biz. But the details of running a business were stressing me out. In my mind, I was turning golden opportunities into garbage.

The moral of this story is to have fun. Every mistake, every setback, everything that seems negative is a golden opportunity to learn something to help you improve and eventually succeed.

Hi,
I noticed recently that there’ve been several visits to my hiphopentrepreneur.com site from the 43things site. So I just wanted to say hello and let you know that there’s a real person behind the site. My books have been endorsed by Chuck D, Rap coalition, and featured in the Source, Billboard and other industry resources…feel free to email or call once you visit the site, and I’ll do my best to help you.—Walt Goodridge, founder of HipHopEntrepreneur.com & author of Change the Game, This Game of Hip Hop Artist Management, and Turn Your Passion Into Profit
