With talent comes responsibility. You must know how to hustle your talent and turn it into revenue. Who likes to work for free? I know I don't. More than likely, your talent is needed for someone else's talent. For example; musicians need music producers, businesses need graphic designers to help create an unique visual to help get their brand, product, messages or ideas across. You get the idea.

Everyone is talented in one way or another but the problem is not everyone RESPECTS their talent. What I mean is, you have talented rappers, singers, beautiful models, men and women with great skills and ideas who are looking for handouts and are just too lazy to INVEST in their talent. Some may say, "Well I don't have the money to invest" or, "I don't need nobody else, I can do it all on my own" Those are probably the two most common irrational reasons to not make the right investments towards your talent, dream or hustle.

When it comes to money, of course not everyone has it. Not everyone can afford to take the risk and invest money that they don't have not knowing if it'll be worth it. So what can those people do? WORK HARD! One thing I respect is hard working talent. You never know who's watching, you never know who's looking for someone to build with, someone who they need just as much as they're needed. That's where 'cross-promotion' comes in to play.

If you're consistent and you work hard, you'll eventually have some sort of fan base or following. Having a fan base is similar to having cash, you can use it as an investment. Your proposal to a graphic designer, music producer etc. will be be something like, "You do this for me, I'll bring you more exposure." to make it simple for you to understand. Networking in a nutshell, need I say more? This is one thing they mean when they say "Hard work pays off."

If you respect your hustle, then you will respect everyone else's hustle. NEVER work for FREE and stop expecting others to work for you for FREE. If you can't afford to pay them in cash, give them some type of compensation for their time and effort because when one eats, we all eat. -@GreedyLuchi
