Jay-Z reveals "Decoded" the Book (COMING SOON)
I ran across this Video. I had to actual post this because I'm inspired by the man JAY-Z, the ELEVEN TOP ALBUMS that out sold the Beatles. He inspired that Hustler ambition of the streets, to the business world of what you see today! His music has been all inspiring & has grown with me as he sent so many decoded messages through out his music, that it goes Uncoded but Decoded by few. salute to Jay-Z & Bing making it all possible.

Ever heard of the saying... "Your One Track Minded" well its a lot of proof in that statement! Reason being is that the majority of businesses can be "One Track" minded when it comes to the "Technicality of Technology." Now today we as people that operate our business have to be more on a 'two track level' when it comes to choices. Why? Consumers are now smarter than ever before! In 'Today's Economy' we as a company need to be "On The SAME Track, a Two Track Mind." A train does not trail on one track to pull all the weight of one Idea, to get to one destination. Think 2 Twice & Apply Once! - Shannon "Shimmy" Harris
Below you will find 7 KEY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS that we can apply.
1. Digital - Whats Services shall we Use that are cheap, but effect?
2. Mobile Marketing - We now have to "THINK SMART" 50% of all Internet Activity is done via "Smart Device" aka "Smart Phone"
The iPhone now accounts for 50 percent of mobile Web traffic from smartphones in the U.S., according to an AdMob Mobile Metrics

The World Famous Tony Williams
I had to stop & look how this talented individual created his promotional Flyer for his Single w/ the actual 3D Barcode, which invites consumers to scan the barcode with their SmartPhone Device. I EVEN TRIED IT FROM MY COMPUTER (SCAN THE FLYER w/ YOUR PHONE) & was able to get a FREE Ringtone. Scan the other code & I was sent to iTunes where I purchased his world famous sigle "Everything About You" on iTunes. (http://bit.ly/cpgf21) - Not only is he a great artist, but a great brand/marketing strategist. - (READ BRIEFLY ABOUT HIM BELOW ....& please do follow him on Twitter @TWFTonyWilliams )
Tony Williams, though today, known primarily as a background performer, has dubbed himself, the World Famous. Having travelled the world over, more than, five times as the background vocalist for the iconic Grammy Winning rapper, Kanye and the actual artist who wrote, produced and performed the vocals on a majority of the hits that he performed from Minneapolis to Melbourne, he has earned the name. Tony has worked with some of the most influential and prolific rappers of this Millennium, Jay-Z, Nas and, of course, Kanye.

Suggestions vs. Solutions
Suggestions vs. Solutions
Suggestions vs. Solutions is a cataclysm to the definition of what people(s) Want vs. Need may be. Their basic necessities is always challenging their want of satisfaction a.k.a. ego. Ego always WANTS to be appreciated in some formal type of way; it WANTS to be appreciated for what that person describes as “Talent.” Now we all have certain “talents,” which is a specialty within us that makes us great at what we are, but often times EGO out grows that “pure talent” that propels us forward to make correct solutions."Today our Wants are Solutions, and our Needs are Suggestions." #ShimmyQuote << Take note that the ‘WANT’ is put before the NEED. #Interesting - Its like the old saying goes, “You can’t put the cart, before the horse!“ Reason why most people are backwards is because they put the cart before the horse. In today’s society we have what I call “FREE INFORMATION” in the name of the World Wide Web. Majority of today’s people(s) belief system is that they have the “Best Talent” and should be praised because their “ego” says so! The “I HAVE TALENT” people believe that people should provide solutions because they say ‘I,’ ‘I’m’ the ‘Best’ and ‘I’ “deserve praise in payment in “Solutions.” I don’t want your damn “Suggestions” is what they DO NOT WANT because their ego says “I HAVE TALENT,” and the INNER EGO really “Wants” a “Solution” to help ‘Its’ journey along to success.We all want that H.E.L.P. to become successful, because inside we know that we have a ‘talent.’ Our ego drives us to “Do It Yourself,” the ‘trial and error’ way out without seeking professional assistance from a professional skilled “Solutions Provider” to your problem(s). Now, don’t get me wrong by a long shot that I’m saying you can’t D.I.Y.; in which I encourage that you try to D.I.Y. to find your “Talent,” but you MUST KNOW YOUR CRAFT by doing the #1 Necessity (NEED) in life, which is to APPLY what you READ, by studying the solutions to a problem(s).My SUGGESTION is that many NEED to READ to find the SOLUTION(s) - If not I SUGGEST you seek a SOLUTION PROVIDER.Monday, September 6

STOP Being a JERK
Haha - Excuse me I didn't mean to call You a Jerk, but it was just a simple needed statement to draw you in to see WHO is this Jerk, WHAT is this Jerk, & WHERE is this Jerk. Funny but it works when you want to draw interest into something. LOL - Take a look below as I touch on 3 Steps that are overlooked by many musicians/artists; in which should first be thought of when developing your career. Therefore read, enjoy, & please don't be a Jerk! LOL
WHO - WHAT - WHERE
We all have heard of Who, What, & Where. We all understand that there are points to a question, when being asked. Something so simple as Who, What, & Where do have a big meaning and should defenitly be analyzed when a new talent begins to emerge. So, I decided to break it down a bit for you.The WHO Factor:How many remember the group "The Who?" Majority right now are thinking WHAT??? Well,"The Who" are an English rock band that formed in 1964. Something so simple as the name The Who will defenitly draw in interest when people say WHO?Solution: Your STAGE NAME should must be catchy enough to get people to say WHO?~ Your Stage Name should represent a niche in the music industry to brand WHO you are?
(via @Shimmy2one6)The WHAT Factor:WHAT is it that makes you standout from the crowd. WHAT is it that will make people interested in WHO you are? WHAT makes you different from all the rest of the crowd of artists participating on Social Media via Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, etc.? Ask yourself these questions. Define WHO you are as an artist!!
Solution: Its the message, your delivery, and the performance that defines you as an artist to stand out amongst the competitve Hobbiest of talent that are so desperatly determined to make it in the entertainment business for the wrong reason. Yes, you can make music for the "love of it," but as we all know that love can really break some hearts. You know WHAT causes people to say "WHAT?" - Read the Examples: WHAT, YOU DIDN'T HEAR that new record by ______________ (Hopefully YOUR Name)??? - WHAT YOU MISSED THAT PERFORMANCE??? or WHAT's UP lets GO see ___________________ (Hopefully YOUR Name). Your what factor as an artist should cause people to say WHAT, and turn them into FANS!
Now WHAT do U do? HINT: Create a Plan! (NEED HELP? - Contact via @Shimmy2one6 for assistance)
~ WHAT makes you stand-out amongst the competitive hobby of rappers/singers?(via @Shimmy2one6)
The WHERE Factor:WHERE do you see yourself going along with the music you that you create? WHERE will your demographic of people be, that will listen to your style of music (niche/brand)? WHERE will your Music/Brand be On-Demand at? How will you benefit from WHERE fans will find out about you and WHAT will you do to inform them and advise them WHERE to go?? Write down theses questions & answer them. Are they REALISTIC or NOT? Now execute your plan.Solution: Entertainment has moved to On-Demand and Analytics.
Today's music business is relatively about the easy access of what they call "on-demand." WHERE people can hear, purchase, and see you instaniously by fans that think of you *(WHO) at that very moment thru a touch of a button ...either thru your Television, Computer, or Mobile Phones.
~ WHERE do you see yourself? Literally... Locally, Regionally, Nationally, or World Wide? (via @Shimmy2one6)
Remember: PEOPLE DON'T PLAN 2 FAIL, THEY FAIL 2 PLAN so PLAN AHEAD
