Jay-Z is one of the most successful rappers in history. He has gained great business success as well having been the CEO of two powerful music labels. When it comes to personal success you only have to look at the women he married! So what can Jay teach us about success and work ethic? The answer is: A LOT!

Below is an excerpt from a great article from lifedev.net…

1. Give people what they want
“I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars, they criticize me for it yet they all yell holla.”

2. Take risks
“The Martha Stewart that’s far from Jewish, far from a Harvard student, just had the balls to do it.”

3. Don’t give up
“Put me anywhere on God’s green earth, I’ll triple my worth.”

4. Take care of the people around you
“I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.”

5. Watch your mouth
“A wise man once told me don’t argue with fools, because people from a distance cant tell who is who.”

6. Make your own destiny
“…The more space I get the better I write, (Oh) Never I write, but, if, ever I write, I need the space to say whatever I like.”
