What’s in it for me? Learn how to boss up and build a successful empire.

Rick Ross. Rozay. The Boss. The man goes by many names, but there’s no doubt about one thing: his hustle and shrewd decision-making have made him a twenty-first-century hip-hop icon and business tycoon.

It wasn’t always that way. Ross wasn’t born rich, and he’s faced serious setbacks throughout his life and career. But he’s treated every situation, good or bad, as an opportunity to “boss up” and be better.

These blinks lay out Ross’s no-nonsense approach to success – and life. Full of inside stories from his music and business ventures, they offer practical advice on everything from transforming ambition into action to managing money to handling stressful situations.

In these blinks, you’ll discover

what it really means to be a boss;
the best thing money can buy; and
how not to end up like the megalodon shark (that is, extinct).

A boss sees the big picture and adapts as priorities and circumstances change.

Fifteen years ago, Rick Ross shot into the mainstream yelling “every day I’m hustlin’” – the central refrain of his breakout single. And those words were true. Since the release of “Hustlin’,” Ross’s bank balance may have accumulated a few more commas, but he still hustles hard every day. When the pandemic hit, and his primary revenue stream – performing – went bust, he knew he needed a new game plan. So he headed toward The Promise Land: his 235-acre estate in Fayetteville, Georgia.

The Promise Land contains a recording studio and a home gym – not to mention a movie theater, a bowling alley, multiple basketball courts, and a horse stable. Oh, and the biggest residential swimming pool in the US. Talk about the lap of luxury.

Ross hadn’t spent more than a few days there at a time since he bought it in 2014 because of the constant touring. Now, though, he had time to enjoy the fruits of his labor – and focus on the other eggs in his basket.

In addition to being a multiplatinum-selling recording artist, Ross is an entrepreneur with a diversified portfolio. He’s the founder of Maybach Music Group (home to Meek Mill and Wale), the owner of a fast-food franchise, and he’s also involved in the spirits industry. He has his own line of ramen noodles, potato chips, and grooming products, and he’s a best-selling author.

Why all the side hustles? Well, he’s not trying to end up like four-time world heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield, who earned hundreds of millions and used to own The Promise Land – before going bankrupt due to poor money management.

Holyfield apparently owed more than $500,000 to a landscaping company. So Ross’s first quarantine purchase was a John Deere 5090E tractor. As he lit up a joint and began cutting grass, he noticed little details he’d never seen before: pink flowers, anthills . . . the goddamn goose poop.

The words of Bruce Lee came to mind: “Be formless, shapeless, like water.” It didn’t matter what challenges COVID presented; Ross was going to go with the flow. He wasn’t going to make excuses, because, in Ross’s own words, “goals don’t give a fuck about excuses” – not even legitimate ones. You need to find ways to overcome your obstacles and win.

For Ross, that meant knocking out guest verses for everyone from Anderson .Paak to Freddie Gibbs to T.I., promoting his brands harder than ever, and writing a book about the principles that helped him build an unshakeable empire. Voilà, mofos.

To be a boss, you have to get in the driver’s seat – and log the miles.

Before Ross hit it big, he was a struggling rapper living in DJ Greg Street’s basement. His momma was covering his car payments, and he was so broke that he slept in his truck whenever he left town. But the whole time, he was meeting and networking with hip-hop legends like J. Prince, Tony Draper, and Scarface. And they never guessed his situation. Because Ross hadn’t carried himself like a broke college dropout; he’d made it clear he was a boss.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re driving a Bugatti or a busted Buick. What matters is that you’re driving. A boss grabs the steering wheel, gets in gear, and takes their life in the direction they want to go.

How you choose to spend your time is your most important decision in life.

If you’re ever lucky enough to walk around The Promise Land, you’ll find foreign art on the walls. Piles of ornamental bicycles. Horses. A room full of sports memorabilia. Multiple garages containing multiple cars. More classic video games than in any public arcade . . .

Some call Rick Ross a hoarder; he prefers the term “collector.” Needless to say, Rozay did some spring cleaning during quarantine. But one thing he’ll never part with is his watch collection. The Rolexes, the Hublots – they’re worth millions, and there’s no question he’s a boss any time he walks into a room wearing one.

To get rich, make your money work for you, be ambitious, and choose the right team players.

People in Miami aren’t exactly modest about wealth. In fact, they often exaggerate how much they have. Those Lamborghinis on South Beach? A lot of them are rented. As a young man, Ross saw hustlers get money fast – and lose it even faster.

When he signed to Def Jam and received a seven-figure advance, he went from broke to millionaire. He could’ve easily blown through the money, but for nine months he acted as though it didn’t exist. He performed “Hustlin’” anywhere that’d pay him and squirreled away that money too. Not until Port of Miami debuted at number one did he finally lay out some cash on a house.

To achieve your dreams, believe in yourself, be an opportunity, and don’t let your emotions sabotage you.

One of the first tracks Rick Ross ever wrote was called “Where the Hoes At?” At the time, he didn’t have a lot of experience with quote-unquote “hoes.” He was a nine-year-old virgin in third grade.

But he was already honing a powerful tool to self-actualization: believing things into existence. He knew where he wanted to go, so he rapped from that imaginary future self’s perspective. Later in life, he used the same tactic when he wanted to become an investor in Luc Belaire – a new rosé. He’d tried it after a show at a club one night and was immediately smitten with the black bottle and its neon-pink labeling.

Hustle your own way – that means staying true to yourself and doing what you love.

When Ross received the call from Kanye West’s people telling him to come over to Pinewood Atlanta Studios, he was skeptical. Ross and Kanye go back 20 years – and Ye had always been provocative. But recently, his tweets had started rubbing Ross the wrong way. Still, they had history. So Ross donned a Balenciaga sweater and drove over in his Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Kanye had relocated his music operations, his apparel lines, and his presidential campaign from Wyoming to the seven-hundred-acre film studio in Georgia – and he wanted to show Ross what he’d been working on. At the end of the tour, he suddenly said, “Tomorrow I might tweet that I don’t feel like being president anymore.” His campaign staffer’s response blew Ross’s mind: “It’s going to get a million retweets.”

To succeed in life, turn setbacks into comebacks, keep learning, and create a meaningful legacy.

Rick Ross raps for a living. He prides himself on being able to take down a rival in just a few lines. But he had to hand it to Anderson Cooper. Calling Donald Trump “an obese turtle” in the wake of the 2020 election results? Brutal.

As a large person himself, Ross felt a momentary pang of pity for Trump. But the man hadn’t acted like a boss. He hadn’t accepted his loss; instead, he’d tried to take everyone down with him.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
