Tyler Perry Shares Tips On How To Be Successful" & Starting Small (Video)

"There are so many people going in so many directions. Focus on one thing. One area. Put all of your energy into watering one area. If you spread the water across many seeds, you don’t have as much water for one seed. So focus on one thing and make it your priority. No matter what"

- Tyler Perry

 

"The Bible says ‘never despise small beginnings’. There are things that happen out of the smallest little start that can change the world...Had I went the route I wanted to go, what would have happened is… I would have have ended up in Hollywood and did the deals that everyone else had done and there would have been nothing different, nothing “spectacular” about the blessings that I’ve received. It would have just been an average story...But because I was hidden. Because I didn’t know how it went. Because I didn’t know how things were “supposed” to go in film and television, that ignorance allowed me to carve my own way" - Tyler Perry

“The secret of success is to try always to improve yourself no matter where you are or what your situation may be. Learn all you can. Don't see how little you can do, but how much you can do. Such a man will always be in demand, for he establishes the reputation of being a hustler" -

Fu*k You Pay Me: How You Make You Get The $ You Deserve When Doing Freelance Work (Video)

2011/03 Mike Monteiro | F*ck You. Pay Me. from San Francisco Creative Mornings on Vimeo.

As hustlers and entrepreneurs, we often do a lot of freelance work for other companies and individuals. The problem with freelance work is that a number of things can go wrong and you can end up getting screwed out of your hard earned cash. In the video above, Mike Monteiro  (Design Director, and co-founder of Mule Design Studio) and his lawyer break down the kinds of things you should have in place when doing freelance work and why contracts are important. below are a couple things I learned from the video.

1. Clear definitions. Clear expectations. Explicitly stated and agreed to by both parties in a contract

2. Include attorney fees in contract. What’s the use of winning a lawsuit for $20,000 only to pay $35,000 in legal fees?

3. “You Can Trust Us”…..usually means don’t trust them

4. Don’t start work without a contract

5. Don’t blindly accept terms

6. Anticipate negotiation, but don’t back down on important things like “termination fee’s”, liability or IP transfers on full payment

7. Let Lawyers talk to Lawyers

8. Be confident in your asking price
