 What's up everybody, once again, it's Brand Man Sean and I'm super excited to drop this snippet right here from my interview with TJ Chapman, the manager of Trap Beckham, B.O.B. He broke Omsprung. He's done so much in music, but this clip right here isn't about all that necessarily. This clip is about something that he learned being a part of the music industry. I'll add a little bit more at the end. In that stuff, it taught me how to better deal with people and how to better deal in situations where I feel a person isn't right. You don't necessarily have to say something just because you see it. When all situations always understand what is it that you want to achieve from this relationship or what you want to get out of this relationship or business venture or partnership or whatever it is. If whatever reason you realize that those people ain't necessarily right and they are trying to take advantage or get over on you, as long as you realize it and can see it, you can still use the situation to your advantage and you can play it against them. When you don't say nothing, they get more and more careless with it because they don't think that you're smart enough to figure anything out. I've used plenty of situations to my benefit that I knew wasn't right for me just because I knew what I was dealing with going in and what I wanted to achieve and get out of it. That's really looking at situations where we look at fame or capital gain. Those are the two main measurements that people look at. It might be a scenario that might not be great financially or a good looking one, but there's some way that you see it could benefit you, whether it's a relationship or whether it's just knowledge that you learn, something like that. It'll put you in position to make that next move or whatever it is. At the end of the day, you've got to remember it's really a game of chess. You've got to be strategic with all your moves. We've played chess so many times, not even in this situation, just in situations with the labels and everything else. You've got to be really smart and you've got to think a lot of this stuff out and understand how it works so you can best benefit. When I hear something like that and being able to take advantage of those situations on the way that might not look good in the short term, you really have to understand what your goal is, your greater goal is, to even do something like that, right? You've got to see the big picture. I tell you, that's the biggest problem a great majority have. They're so small-minded and short-sighted that they don't see it. They don't even understand what the big picture is. They're so caught up in perception and how they perceive things to be from what they think other people are doing that they're just so wrong and misguided to begin with. That's the truth. Whether you like it or not, straight up, the music industry is like Game of Thrones. It's chess. You have to be strategic about how you go about your career path and understand that you have to know where you want to go to even understand how you want to use the pieces that are right in front of you. Just like TJ alluded to, there might be some situations that aren't necessarily super beneficial for you because somebody might be trying to screw you over. But if you understand that you want something greater than that, that might allow you to overcome the short term dealings with whoever that person is. And it's like, okay, yes, they might rip me off for all my money here, but it'll put me in a position there. And I'll take note that there's somebody who ripped people off, or at least they ripped me off. It's not that different from the concept of, hey, I want to have my own business, but I got to save up for an initial investment of $10,000, $20,000. So I'm going to work this job that I don't necessarily want to work. It's the exact same concept. You know where you want to go, save up to have your own business. You don't like this job. You hate it for various reasons, but you are able to deal with those reasons because you have a vision that's bigger than that short term circumstance. You can't take it too much deeper than that. A lot of times at the end of the day, because of course there's going to be sketchy people or people you don't like or necessarily love. Of course, the goal is to work with people you do like and do want to support. But there might be some things that aren't that cut and dry here and there. But that's not even why we're talking about this concept. The biggest reason that this concept is so important is for you to understand that even when things don't look right for you, if you can figure out how to flip that situation where it does work for you, you can still win. Those people who are doing you wrong, hey, they might think they're getting over on you. But at the end of the day, if you keep this in mind, you can consciously make a decision to make a sacrifice and allow those people to do whatever they're doing for the greater good of your strategy.
