Independence is a big step. But everything he is and has said in the past is correct. The hustle is hard when you run a business. But the life lessons you learn far outway the financial reward. It makes you a battle hardened person, male or female. Im here in Australia loving Dames content. It should be taken as motivation and not a small mided thought of " oh yeah how can i afford to do what you are saying, you are rich". Yeah. He hustled, flipped and took a risk with roc. Thats work...

Luis Sam but he did not start dropping gems or common knowledge until those "culture vulture" checks stopped. Then he decided to go on the independent crusade.

[@luissam1547]

I don’t think his checks are dry...AT ALL!!👤Honestly this man has way too much debt because he one some tycoon shit, but still applying basic and intermediate flip moves..the numbers are just bigger, and eventually it gonna connect cause he has a lot in his favor (experience& confidence) and rich intellectual property (Jay’Z first album). Dame is definitely getting bread, don’t believe the hype. 💯

[@Mr._X84]

Luis Sam A lot of speculation in your comment, but I don’t see anything concrete to back it up. What businesses of his do you know that are successful? His overpriced poppington clothing or his streaming service?

[@luissam1547]

Actually I don’t see your point either based what your trying to imply. 🤔🤔🤔 Look just stop it ight. Your a bitter 9-5 guy who obviously can wrap your mind around what Mr. Dash is talking about. He 💯 percent correct about what he is talking about. If anyone thinks this guy is “broke” it actually is only true reflect of your common sense which would appear to be BROKEN. He owns Jay z’s first album, he still recieves publishing revenue from master and copyrights of sound recording on all roc a fella releases that have his name as exec-producer...that means jay z and kanye, and all them other cats. This man gave 2m lee Daniels to get his career started as director when nobody would..he launched his career, he is responsible for putting Kevin Hart on. he produced plenty of movies including Paid in Full-Classic Movie. Anyone who can’t see this man is definitely business minded and still successful is probably a HOV dick rider or just plain goofy. Either way it’s complete waste of time.. the fact that he has a streaming service is amazing all into its self. Why you worried his pockets like that anyway.. just listen and learn.the man has jewels..don’t be remedial about this. You are smarter than that.💯

[@one1511]

The journey of owning a business; the lessons, the character that's built, the sets backs and successes are super priceless. Most people fear the unknown. Most people lack the ability to think for themselves, they have been so trained as little children to do what we are told and this natural faculty weakens. Most people fear the unknown and lack creativity/true usage of imagination. I blame parents, school systems and church for aiding in weakening children's ability to think for themselves. Whether they realize it or not. But I have always agreed with this brothers perspective. He's been preaching this forever.

[@murdoch1717]

We need to keep in mind that it's not always about being either a "caged dog" (worker) or a "wild dog" (boss). You can be both until you can fully take care of yourself 100% with your own business. In other words, some of us will need to keep our day jobs and have a part time business on the side and build that business until you can fire your boss and go totally independent. Don't feel like you can't be a boss b/ c right now you have a job. If you have a job, that's good. You have a way to sustain yourself while building up your business. More than one way to skin a cat. Your path to building wealth may look different than Dame's or the next man's but that's ok as long as you do it. GO FOR IT!!!

[@murdoch1717]

Work hard first and learn how to be a good follower. While doing that, be saving and planning your move and your plan to escape the cage that you are in right now. There is nothing wrong with being in a cage now, you can make it out. Work hard, save, plan, learn about the business you wanna start, maybe find a mentor and do an apprenticeship with them if possible (working smart). Then, make your escape from the cage. You can do it if you put in the effort and want it. It may take several attempts to get it right but it can be done. Let's get it!

[@WillEvans]

I’m experiencing everything he just said about being independent 💯

[@jamesfantjr]

The industrial revolution was the massive start to a decline in "bosses." Because before this, you had a trade, a skill. You did something that you loved (Like Dame mentions, doing it for the love). You had the freedom to do what you wanted to do and if you didn't hustle, you didn't eat. But you wanted to hustle because you loved that hustle. But the industrial revolution took away independence and gave what I believe is a false sense of comfort. Yes, you have a job to go to. But no ownership. And you open yourself up to mistreatment because you hustle another's ideas and not your own. You build up another's brand and not your own.

What business world exists where you don't answer to somebody? If you run a business you will have to answer to customers, creditors, insurers, the state, the city, the county, the school district (they all want their tax money) and the IRS who also wants their tax money, and there is no way around any of that. The only reason to leave the 9-5 working world is because you can actually make enough money to replace your current income. Other than that, you're kidding yourself because most people are not meant to nor are they capable of running a successful business.

[@NTroyMcNamar]

Amen! Damon Dash speak from a hood perspective. When you sell drug and have goons to keep everyone in line you can speak like that. But in fact if you can make good money in the corporate world stay safe and keep your 9 to 5 job. I ve been my how boss. You have to pay everyone before you pay yourself. In fact don t be your own boss but try to keep the company in need for your competence. If you re a good cook no restaurant can fire you. If you re a good salesman no shop can fire you.

[@CasualTalkRadio]

"What business world exists where you don't answer to somebody? If you run a business you will have to answer to customers" The customer has to agree to YOUR terms for payment for services. AN employee has no such right - you're shopped around against the lowest rates and discarded when no longer of value. The customer has to pay you for however many hours you work. In salaried employment this is not the case. The customer cannot tell you HOW to do your job. Employees, they can. The customer can't tell you that you have to show up to meetings. Employees, they can. The customer can't overwork you. Employees, they can. The customer can't force you to travel. Employees, they can. The customer can't force you to do "unconscious bias training". Employees, they can. Etc etc etc etc etc.

john bael since you wanna be so technical you still have to please customers and consumers of your product or service so if you was really the boss you wouldnt have to please anyone to make a profit when you make that agreement with your customers if they are not satisfied they terminate your contract if its not exactly how they want it they will fire you and hire another contractor you are replaceable when you are providing a product or service its called competitive market which has alot of other vendors and contractors offering the same services or products you do no matter what it is

[@mucleboy0151]

john bael you dont dictate anything the customer always dictates because its their money they paying come on bruh this shit common sense anyone with a business mind knows the customer is always right

[@eastafrika728]

Damon is right, I have walked away from having a boss, even though I struggled, since I know the job, things fall in place.

[@Fhomie1]

Real talk but at the end of the day nothing is yours because, we all die and someone else gets it. Owning is better than renting but if someone rents a mansion and a $200,000 whip for 30 years then his reality was the same as the owners only difference is that the owner can sell or leave it to his kids while the renter hopefully has life insurance to leave his kids a big payout when he dies.

Smh Dame stay dropping heat/gems n jewels! Gangsta! Geah! ✊👍👊

He needs to be a teacher on entrepreneurship GENIUS AT IT !!! PERIOD !!! Damon Dash is the man...

[@nodayoff1000]

You have to get to a certain Financial level iand a resource level to be truly independent. To make it anywhere you got to have talent going to have Tech people like you they will help you

[@jonstardc3077]

iam the interstellar the beyonder of free thinking my opinion just that ,but I think u miss what he saying ... discipline for what u want an make sacrifices to save money to be financial str8 there's ur start...

Not true its a state of mind and risk and reward....the cash will come

[@thirdeyethirst6000]

Gabreal Moss yeah but sometimes things get tough man its NYC the pressure here is extremely high and u also have to face all dift kind of hatred and sucker shit

[@BenGettinit204]

iam the interstellar the beyonder of free thinking people don't understand certain things. They hear a person like him speak & they think it's the most prolific statement in the world. Not understanding the difference between being a boss & just being self employed. Meaning you are still a worker. I recomend rich dad series to understand that difference. Cause you'll listen 2 this jump out there & be unemployed and penniless. I mean if it was that easy why is he only you tube famous since the roc broke up???

[@thirdeyethirst6000]

Gabreal Moss I am not letting nobody steal my dreams and I already invested 60k in a business two years ago which didnt work out because I dealt with the wrong person and I got screwed so it's taking me a bit of time to get on my feet it a learning experience but painful one

[@wha-whereyomamastayatvlad1642]

Love dame and he is vital to the culture but his hood/corporate way can be hard to understand so here's what he said: If you're ok with being a follower and being subservient get a job that will afford you a nice living just understand you will make a fraction of the one who Independently creates his own because he has ownership, most aren't cut out for business because of the precarious conditions you are In sometimes, most people have dreams but dont understand how to create a viable business , you may not always have liquid assets because as you scale your business you are always reinvesting your profits

[@GrayFoxGamingHD]

Love dame , but truth is , not everyone is cut to be a boss , you always going to need employees , without them you cant run a business.

[@259972]

Dame does the talking but not the walking, he road jay z's coattails and when jay disappeared dame went broke.

[@blackpillbishop5016]

Working for a big company is like being a servant in a castle, you may be living in the castle but you don't own anything in it, doesnt matter if you work your way up from being a servant, to a cook, a gardner or a fucking butler, you're yet a servant at the of the day. Freedom, Independence and Dignity is what you have when you start your own business and lets not even talk about Scalability lol. You can never scale up a job, you can only beg for your boss to throw you a few more crumbs while he eats the whole fuckin steak. A business on the other hand is infinitely scalable.

[@NTroyMcNamar]

Damon Dash speak from a hood perspective. When you sell drug and have goons to keep everyone in line you can speak like that. But in fact if you can make good money in the corporate world stay safe and keep your 9 to 5 job. I ve been my how boss. You have to pay everyone before you pay yourself. In fact don t be your own boss but try to keep the company in need for your competence. If you re a good cook no restaurant can fire you. If you re a good salesman no shop can fire you.

[@TheJesusian]

love his Breakfast Club interview...I live by that code.

[@Marsellis]

Independence is the way to go

[@unpopops]

A lot of y’all say y’all run a business but write no checks. Knock it off. No hate bug you’re not a boss if you don’t have workers. Loads of chiefs yet nit enough Indians

[@CasualTalkRadio]

"you’re not a boss if you don’t have workers" False. You're a boss under three main criteria: - YOU determine when, where and how you work - YOU determine what you're getting paid - YOU can pass what you have down to family That's all. It's not about employees. That's why there's such a thing as a Sole Proprietor.

[@renebarrera9483]

Today in 2021, Dame is worth about 10k. Jay Z is worth about 800 million plus. Dam is full of shit and you all eat it up. lol

[@SarGlockio24]

Shut up if you knew Dame was boss b4 Jay Z stole his company

[@nicholaswhitmer7592]

Mad respect for anybody that’s ACTUALLY hustling out there. Sick of these fake ass “hustlers” and wantrepreneurs out here pretending to be the boss. “The boss is ALWAYS the person putting up the money. If you’re not putting up the money, you’re not the boss”. Imma have to quote you on that one!

[@graywolf2107]

Who are you gonna employ if everybody's a boss?? I'll wait....if you understand this...you understand why oppression isnt just needed.....its essential for business....IN ITS CURRENT FORM.

[@michaelwatkins8167]

It is essential that in the corporate structure there are leadership positions and working level positions. Without this structure profitabilty cannot be obtained. Therefore it is true that everyone cannot be a quote unquote boss. This is also why it is difficult for some to become successful in their pursuit of Independence.
