Why does everyone insist on using the phrase “sex, drugs and rock and roll?” To me, it has always been “sensibility, determination and rock and roll.”
I spent years around some of the most successful rock stars, producers, record company and star management personnel. The ones who were wildly successful (many of whom continue to be so today), all practiced the same basic principles:
- They gave their customers what they wanted, they fed the fans’ passions
- They kept up with trends, the world around them and technology
- They created and nurtured successful and productive business relationships every where
- And, they always thanked/rewarded the people who got them there as well as giving back to the fans and communities
These are the fundamental four rock star principles of a successful person. You’ll find examples of each of these principles in things that Mick Jagger does as well as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
Passion, knowledge, networking and appreciation along with hard work and a strong work ethic will take you to the top of the charts each and every time.
Okay. I’ll admit it, we did have some fun along the way, but didn’t you?
