 Oh, what's up everybody once again, it's Brandon man Sean and this video is brought to you by brandmannetwork.com because I signed myself now I got a very special snippet from a very special interview with game from busyworksbeats.com now this guy right here man is somebody I admire he's a producer for those of you don't know if you're producing probably seen some of them tutorials on the channel but I admire the way he moves not just only as a producer but as a music entrepreneur in the way he thinks so go ahead and check out this snippet and we'll talk about why this is so relevant to me afterwards so let me ask you are you a perfectionist yeah man I try not to I'll work very hard not to be but that's probably me being a perfectionist about not being one right interesting I'm learning more about Virgo's day by day but you need a Virgil somebody to guide you through it doesn't matter how much theory you have about your environment currently if you're gonna run trying to think of a cool analogy hmm football okay it's different when you practice in the heat and you got you know tough grass and you're you got cleats on and everything it's different when you practice there all year versus when you practice in the snow it's a whole different thing you have wind now you have lack of friction you have injuries more injuries so now you have to think about your coaching separately there's different elements in different environments and that's what people don't know they think they know the game of football but when they introduce different variables now they think like oh I don't know what to do now because there's a different variable so the goal is you need a guide who understands the cycles and when people talk about cycles they're talking about the ups and downs regardless of the variables in a specific industry okay that's what a cycle is there's an up and down flow so I'll keep it sure but that's mainly why you need mentors they're just gonna get you there faster why would you spend a year four years trying to do trial and error when somebody's done it they've done that already why are you spending more time it's just stupid to me yeah I've spent enough time on trial and errors on things man I try to I try to game everything that I can well not not even game it I don't like that idea of how people take it but I try to where there's places that I could take a shortcut not a shortcut as in things aren't done well it's just like I don't have to waste my time learning this because it's already been learned you know I mean I definitely do that now and I've spent the years being hardheaded and thinking I knew everything so I get it but and and you just remind me mentors add guidance and clarity so like you mentioned clarity you're so happy that you have clarity now now you know that you know you have confidence so for example working with a singer her name is Sene Walder the lovely beautiful Sene Monique Waller beautiful person and she's a singer now I'm watching her kind of bud from nothing so go into YouTube go into Instagram trying to figure it out so I'm telling her where it works you don't have to like be frustrated with algorithms if I tell you exactly what's worked for me and exactly what will work for you you know like maybe people just need to help somebody below them so that they can understand the importance of like guidance all right now that full interview is on brandmannetwork.com but one of the things I want to touch on is just the fact that he said maybe if you don't understand the value of a mentor maybe you should take place in teaching somebody I think that's something that really is a great suggestion I never heard anybody say that before but if you do that I guarantee you probably will start to see that value the more people I teach and help with things the more I realize yo man I need this for myself where am I going to get it from right I've definitely been through that process but what I love that he said is really understanding that it's not just about this template and this blueprint because everybody is looking for a blueprint you can see blueprints from studying other people you can take a course for a blueprint and the difference is when you actually get into the world right when you actually start to execute stuff the weather might not be the same that day it might have been a sunny day where that blueprint exists but it might be raining the other day or it might be cold who knows what the conditions will be but everybody has their own particular conditions especially when we're talking about artists moving throughout the music industry and we're talking about an age with technology is changing things so fast you need to have some people in your corner that can help you with those nuances help you with the things that start to happen that you can't really plan for and I always try to tell everybody you can mastermind whatever you want to in that dark room right well maybe not in the dark room but like at your desk right read listening to videos reading books you can make whatever plan you want to but once you get into execution there's always going to be changes and the game is one based on those changes you make as you actually get out into the field right so keep that in mind because that's just the reality of the situation and having those mentors and advisors to go to is really what you need to have right that that is the bonus and it'll help you get there so much quicker and that's one of the values of brand man network.com where it's not really just about the courses it's really about that that in between when you're actually executing can we help you with those nuances being able to talk through those we've had people get into Facebook ads and things like that you follow the course but now you're in this actual situation yo let's talk about this because this happening oh wait this isn't this type of show this is that type of show and we can make adjustments and these are the results you're getting you should stop doing this right here or even though the results look better number wise you should stay on that or somebody had an investor meeting and and now we can respond and make sure the things that happen in an investor's meeting can get done for you there's so many little nuances and different situations that artists are going through that we get to help them with because there's ongoing support that's one version of what we're creating but even with that right just always understanding that regardless of what you're doing and where you are in your process there's going to be some type of advisor that you can probably benefit from some type of mentor that you can probably benefit for from I know there's a lot of people that don't really talk about that and mention that but last but not least I'll mention somebody like Kanye West one thing that Kanye West does very well is ask a lot of questions Charlemagne does this as well too he people say he asks stupid questions sometimes or it seems like it seems like a stupid question but he's always getting clarity and more information if you don't ask those questions you don't get that extra information that comes from somebody clarifying to see what they mean but why I mentioned Kanye is because so many of the things he says he's someone who doesn't necessarily read a lot that's what he said right but he actually talks and asks questions and meets with a lot of of the foremost thought leaders that gives him access because of who he is right but it's just the idea that he's constantly looking for those people who know and he's constantly trying to learn from those people who know he even got the internship while he was already Kanye West from Louis Vuitton to learn that process and and other companies to learn their process and talk to those people the people who are actually doing everybody that I know is that's very successful well so many of the people that I know that are very successful they have some version of that they can either read books right that's always something that a lot of them do but even bigger than that they're going to people even if it's just their friends but their friends are specialists in certain areas so they're still doing the same thing they might not call them a mentor advisor but they're still doing the same thing they're learning from somebody who knows more than them in another category and then they also can go to those people for adjustments that in between not just general knowledge no this is happening right now what should I do about this right now that's where you're going to get the most benefit versus just random videos or even general books and or one off course you need something that can support you ongoing that's going to get you do the fast track that's where you're going to be able to win and come out with the the most because sometimes people win but they come out with less but that's a whole nother story other than that man of course you can see a full vid or interview at bramannnetwork.com because hey I signed
