Hard worker. Takes initiative. Goes above and beyond. Desires to succeed. Strategic.
These words were my key take away when I heard Kevin Liles speak in 2007 at MTV. He definitely knows a thing or two about how to beat the system, how to go to work and not become complacent, how to stand out, how to overcome adversities in the workplace and turn them into triumphs, how to get there early and stay late - his work ethic led him from intern to Executive Vice President of the Warner Music Group.
...everything that happens to us is the movie script of our life... - Kevin said this in his inspirational chat and it has stuck in my head. We're filming our life's movie everyday, when you say it like that, it sounds amazing! No film crew needed, no cameras, no lights, camera, action - just us trying to scrounge around with a script with no words on it (we gotta wing it, I'm assuming) with the actors and actresses we surround ourselves with. Sounds like we'll all have an interesting movie. How will your movie turn out?
Irv Gotti, Kevin Liles, Jay-Z
Kevin doesn't just make these power moves up the entertainment corporate ladder in hopes that the rest of the world will somehow be just as successful, he's actually taking out the time in his busy schedule to try and help us...but we have to be grateful to him and LISTEN!
The book, Kevin's book, the book to survival, the book that states how to "make it happen", the book you must read. "FROM INTERN TO PRESIDENT, MAKE IT HAPPEN" written by Kevin Liles with Samantha Marshall.
Enticing quotes (from the book) that make you think and want to continue reading this page turning easy read...
"You've found your will, now you have to find a way. Make sure it's the right way. Find the knowledge, hone the skills and learn the lessons you need to execute the plan."
"Once you find your niche and a way to brand yourself, expand on it, full-blown."
'" Put your head down, work and check your ego at the door.'"
"Work is the Fun Part."
"Suffering is just another form of education. Failing a few times makes you less afraid of making mistakes. You take more risks."
"My ass could have been fired."
"If you can fix it, fix it. Next issue."
"It's important for our culture to give back."
