I know I am not the only one who goes to YouTube or another video platform and looks up motivational videos. Whether looking at Les Brown’s “you gotta be hungry” or something from Tony Robbins, even Eric Thomas- The Hip Hop Preacher. I get pumped when I listen to these motivational speakers. At the moment, I feel like I can achieve anything. But then, I go to sleep and wake and that Motivation wears off, and I get nothing done.
Yesterday I received news that someone I knew very well died, a young man admired by the community as was seen with the outpouring of support on Facebook. The news shocked me, I saw people sharing messages of love and support, and that got me thinking. There are some things our Caribbean men don’t hear often enough and while on the train today, I made a list of them and decided to share with you.
By now I am sure you have heard the song “Mans not Hot” by Michael Dapaah aka Big Shaq. He went viral with his “Mans not hot” rap and has been the talk of the internet for the past couple days. I was watching an interview with Michael and something he said stood out to me. He said that one of the hilarious things that happened to him is people are reaching out to him and calling him an overnight celebrity, however, that overnight success took him years to happen.
I had to share this video from Gary Vee himself because in it he gives some valuable and timeless advice. Listen and give your own opinion.
