@MakinItMag
Eight
years ago I started this magazine with one goal: Help independent
artists! The first issue of Makin’ It Magazine was actually just a four
page black and white newsletter. I printed 5,000 copies and hit the
streets myself, passing them out in every open mic, mall and record
store in Atlanta. I can clearly remember promoters charging me to get
into events that I had helped promote for FREE. I remember promoters
hassling me about passing out magazines in their events. I can remember
industry “professionals” having “beef” with me because I was FREELY
giving away information they charged for. I was banned (still banned)
from “networking” events because promoters feared the message that I
spread. The urban music industry is in bad shape because there are so
many “professionals” that would rather make a quick buck off an artist’s
dream than putting them in a position to succeed.
Before
this magazine, I was a professional artist. At 20 years old, I made
good money from shows, features and selling CDs. While I was successful
at making money, I can admit I was a pretty mediocre artist. I
eventually quit doing music because I didn't have a passion for it. I
enjoyed the business side of things much more. I started this magazine
with the goal of sharing the knowledge I gained as an artist that
enabled me to start generating $40k+ year from my music.
We
don’t make money off DUMB artists, we make money with the SMART ones.
The type of promotional services we offer require a logical person that
spends money based on value, not emotion. SMART ARTISTS invest in
opportunities and solutions. DUMB ARTISTS invest in hopes and dreams.
SMART ARTISTS understand success is built over time. DUMB ARTISTbelieve
they can spend money on one thing and it will change their whole career.
SMART ARTISTS get together a budget, set goals and consult with those
who know more than them (that’s how they become smart). DUMB ARTISTS
believe if they just spend their tax refund on this major feature, a
beat from a well known producer or a music video, they’ll instantly get
paid shows. SMART ARTISTS believe in work. DUMB ARTISTS believe in magic.
Having just taken a break from reading Tavis Smiley’s latest book, Death of a King,
I felt inspired to write this post now, on MLK Day, because I care. I
care about my family, my community and black culture as a whole. No
matter what anyone has to say, Hip Hop is part of black culture. There
is no separating the two. Those who know me closely, know I’m more
likely to get in a debate about politics or social issues than I am
about who had the hottest mixtape in 2014. My intrinsic hope for this
publication has always been to nurture the entrepreneurial spirit in hip
hop that has turned hustlers into moguls. To arm those who really want
it with the knowledge and resources to go and get it. Coming from humble
beginnings myself, I’ve always made sure I left a door open for those
who were serious but not in a strong financial situation. That’s why
we’ve always offered payment plans on our promotional packages and it's
the basis for our membership program.
Up
until 2013, there had not been a single year that I hadn’t contemplated
shutting down the magazine. Not because we weren’t profitable, but
because I felt I was failing at my goal. I felt that I wasn’t reaching
the people or making a difference that I set out to make. Then in 2013, I
had a long conversation with an artist who had been a subscriber for
years, and he told me how the magazine motivated him to finally move to
Atlanta and seriously pursue music. He talked about all the contacts he
made from the magazine, the events he attended and how he was now making
money doing music. He qualified the statement by explaining that it
wasn’t a lot of money, but he was no longer losing money chasing a rap
dream. He dapped me up, asked to take a picture and thanked me for what
I was doing. Over the next week I realized I was measuring my impact
all wrong. I was measuring it by the quantity of change I created
instead of the quality. Re-examining the conversations I had with
clients and members, I was inspired. I began cutting my client list down
and putting more focus on helping those who wanted help. In 2014 I made
more money working with fewer people and had a great time doing it. I
love being creative and trying new things. I love being a part of
success, whether it’s mine or someone elses. I know I could easily make
more money selling dreams and offering worthless services but my heart
lies in helping.
Last night I spent 20 minutes outside of I do Music (networking event)
talking with my father. He called to let me know my Grandfather had
just passed. We talked briefly about life, family and work. He then
asked how business had been becuase he knows by love of hip hop often
comes at odds with my feelings of social responsibility. I told him
business was good but doing the right thing isn’t always easy, and it’s
by far not the most profitable. We talked about politics and the economy
for another 10 minutes and then, before getting off the phone, he
dropped a jewel that I wish to share with you. He told me...
“A large crowd is seldom moving in the right direction.”
I
took that to mean, the path to success is often a lonely one. As is the
righteous one. Whether you’re an artist, producer, manager or aspiring
entrepreneur. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Don’t be afraid to
do something different. DO be afraid to trade your passion for
conformity or acceptance of the herd. With that off my chest. I’m
getting back to my book. Happy Martin Luther King Day.

Make more money than a doctor...seriously!
Qu,
Friday night I got roped into bringing my daughter to a 7-year-old birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's. That is one place I adamantly try to avoid because it's a petri dish of every type of germ strand you can think of...and some not even discovered by science yet (until the next major disease outbreak anyway).
But I went because my daughter wanted to see her friends from school and she doesn't mind the germs or even licking the table if she wants to (usually to purposely upset me since she knows better).
I sat down and a woman who looked much older than I asked if she could sit at the table across from me. "Sure," I exclaimed. Better than sitting there by myself, I guess.
She told me that she was the mom of one of the little squirts at the party and she looked beyond tired. She complained that she didn't even want to be there because it had been a long work week. I asked her what she does. She's a doctor. Cardiology.
Not surprising. I live in a neighborhood of a wide variety and array of highly paid professionals who are methodically working their way into an early grave with each passing week of 60 to 80 working hours to clock in.
You know, I honestly don't know who to feel bad for anymore. The poor who really are in an "ignorance-is-bliss" state of mind and really don't know what to do to create a better lives for themselves or the highly-paid professionals who are literally "locked" into a dead-end lifestyle of working themselves to the bone until they are admitted into a rubber room...or they drop dead one day from being overworked and over-stressed.
She asked me if I volunteered at the school. I said I did, twice a month to be exact (except for the "short" school months where it's only once a month). She sighed, disappointed in herself, I think. She expressed how she wished she could volunteer because her son kept bugging her about it but she couldn't even put in an hour in the morning to pull it off.
Pitiful, I thought. Where is the freedom there?
And there I was thinking that life was so unfair because I could only buy one small cup of cheap blush wine from Chuck E. Cheese's per hour...and how their salad bar sucks ass because they wouldn't refill the croutons.
My new doctor friend explained to me that her dad wanted her to be a doctor and she then became a doctor. I inadvertently asked her was she wanted to be in her life but she diverted her question into something else, clearly not wanting to talk about what she would have wanted to do if she had a choice because...
She really has no choice anymore.
She's 40-something, immersed in her career, probably barely just paid off her hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt, and there simply isnothing else for her anymore.
At least that's how she sees it.
I saw how drained she looked. She was pressing her son to leave early but he was having a good time. I could see that she was on the verge of snapping on the poor child because he wanted to continue having fun with his classmates outside of regular school hours. Yet she couldn't enjoy a single minute of the quickly-passing seconds of watching her son grow up because she just wanted to collapse into a drug-induced dreamland coma...probably till Monday morning.
And if I wasn't there, she probablywould have went ballistic on the child, dragging him outside by his ear and forcefully jamming him against his will into the car. I kept telling her, "Relax. Give him a few more minutes. He has more tokens. They don't last long." I could tell that he was grateful for the welcomed buffer in the situation and she caved because she didn't want to look like a jerk-off.
What's worse? Starting from nothing (i.e. no career, no job, no "life") or being so deeply intertwined in an ass-busting soul-eating career that inhales 60 to 80 hours of your precious life a week...and it happens to be a career that you can neverescape?
I'd opt for the former.
No matter which category you find yourself in (or maybe you're somewhere in an "undefined" middle category not mentioned above), as long as you have the appropriate knowledge and desire to change directions, you can change directions. Period.
Of course, if you are working 60 to 80 hours a week, it makes it much more difficult unless you taper down that impossible work schedule to make room for your new life.
I was so tempted to start talking to the doctor about how she could see a light at the end of the tunnel -- in 3 years or less, in fact -- if she just started getting involved in Passive Income Strategies, like multifamily real estate.
But I knew she was in no mood to listen to such a sales pitch from me or anyone else. So I kept quiet and silently felt a swell of gratitude that I wasn't a doctor or dentist or lawyer...or one of the many professionals I live near, talk to, and even counsel in my line of work because they are just stuck. And they're tired. And they want to realize freedom but they don't know how.
You're in a good position though, believe it or not. If you've been a student of mine for a long time (as many of you have been) or even if you're a "newbie" student, you at least had some inkling of desire to find a "different way" (ideally that's easier) to acquire financial freedom, either through Aggressive Income or Passive Income Strategies (or both).
Many professionals, believe it or not, don't even know what to do or how to do it to ever gain that sense of "freedom" that they crave. (And their local Certified Financial Planner or Investment Banker isn't going to help either.)
But you know. And you're already going after it.
I have a 100% online 8-week mentorship group coming up. It's my signature Apartment Building Mentorship Group that's been "amped up" with the most cutting-edge strategies. It's the Multifamily Apartment Building Mentorship Group and it's starting later this month (on January 28th).
I'm offering a kick-ass deal on it for the MLK Blow Out where I'm shaving 50% off plus I'm giving you my 100% LTV Secret Video Series. Plus there's another bonus added in there too.
Click here to check it out: http://www.monicamain.com/mlk_blow_out
I rarely offer a discount on my signature group but I need to set 2015 on the right track for everybody. It truly is the year of multifamily investing and if you've been talking about apartment building investing (but you haven't done it yet), it's about time that you got off your ass and did it already. Nothing happens when you keep taking about it. But everything happens when you start doing it. And this is why my mentorship groups are so powerful...because over 8 weeks we actually DO the business in the real commercial real estate world, step by step, so you get it.
If you have any questions, call my office after 9am PST tomorrow morning at (661) 295-5050.
By the way, Lea will be in tomorrow after her near-4 months of retirement. Yep, that's right. Retirement really isn't what it's cracked up to be. So start thinking of something else you'll want to do with your time in a few years when you don't have to work anymore either because "retirement" in and of itself totally sucks. (Think "old people" playing cards all day in a retirement home.)
See you at the top!
Your mentor,
Monica Main
P.S. The MLK deal ends Tuesday at 5pm PST: http://www.monicamain.com/mlk_blow_out

How to Get Started Buying Stocks & Options
And now that you're a member of Real Income Trader, you'll have all the research, guidance, and great picks you need to succeed independently in the market.
But if you've never invested or traded on your own, things can be a bit confusing at first. Below, you'll find a brief overview of how to get started.
How to Get Started Buying Stocks
With your membership to this service - in addition to many other things - you'll get investment recommendations delivered right to your inbox.To purchase those securities - stocks, options, funds, etc. - you'll need a broker.
In exchange for a commission, a broker acts as the middle man between you and the market. They are registered with various market exchanges, like the NYSE and NASDAQ, and are the only ones that can execute trades.
You can have a personal broker who you call on the phone. Or you can open an account with an online broker and manage everything yourself.
We recommend opening an online account with TD Ameritrade. Here's why...
Online Brokerages
Online brokerages allow you to invest with the click of mouse.Once you've opened up an account and funded it with cash - usually from your checking account - you're ready to begin buying and selling.
But not all brokerages are created equal.
TD Ameritrade offers own guidance, instructions, and tutorials once you've signed-up. They even offer stock research tools, educational videos, strategy advice, and more.
When it's time to make a purchase, you simply type in the ticker of the security (which we provide), how many shares you want... and hit buy. You can track the value of all your investments with the online portfolio they provide.
To pay for those services, you'll be charged a commission every time you buy and sell. TD Ameritrade has among the lowest, most straightforward commission fees available.
With TD Ameritrade, you pay just $9.99 for stock and options trades. Other brokerages — like Scottrade and E*Trade — charge as much as $14.95 for stocks and up to $19.50 for options.
Kiplinger's rated TD Ameritrade the #1 Online Broker. Barron's said it's best for Options Traders. You can use TD for any stock in the U.S. or Canada, from major listings to Pink Sheets.
Opening up a brokerage account, if you haven't yet done so, is the only thing keeping you from independently increasing your wealth.
Once you do, you'll experience all the benefits personal investing has to offer. You can buy the investments recommended by this or any other of our services. Or you can buy any other securities you deem a good fit for your goals.
TD offers independent, third-party research from S&P, Morningstar, and MarketEdge. You can even use their ResearchTeam feature, which puts the power of Wall Street algorithms into your hands to rank the best investments for you.
You can even buy over 100 ETFs without any commission at all. Or choose from over 1700 mutual funds with no-load and no transactions fees.
Visit one of their nationwide branches or call 24/7 if you have any questions.
To get started with TD Ameritrade today, simply follow this link to begin setting up your personal online brokerage account.
It's the only thing keeping you from taking your financial future into your own hands.
