CASE STUDY: DIDDY STYLE

One thing I have noticed is how people compare themselves to famous people, but they are lacking that GRIND to even put them in that same class. Here are some examples:

Case Study #1: A consultant's client has a great media product. The consultant meets with client several times to help put him on the right path. Client claims to be DIDDY, himself. Client convinces consultant that his grind level is just that high. This was in the very beginning of this professional relationship. Within a couple months, consultant is doing more work than necessary. Why? Because the consultant believes in the client's product. But, what is lacking? The "Diddy" grind the client staked claimed to. What the client expected was a group of people to do the work for his product, but client simply wanted to tell the team what his demands were for his product. The client had an amazing product, but was not willing to do anything with it (ie. online promotions, networking, street marketing, etc.) In fact, he wasn't paying anyone volunteering for his product. When it came time to promote an event, the consultant had to push the client to come out and promote his own stuff. It was clear that client wanted to enjoy the glory that came to him after the event without lifting a finger. Throughout the course of this professional relationship, the client said things like "I want to be like Diddy and sit in my office telling people what needs to be done." It was clear that the client was living in a very delusional world!

Now, there is nothing wrong with admiring someone like Diddy; but, clearly this client had a fuzzy reality. (1) The client skipped in his thought process what Diddy had to do to even get himself to his current state of success. (2) Diddy, even now, does not just sit in his office telling people what to do! Come on now--4 hours a sleep per day. (3) Diddy actually pays his staff legitimately. (4) Diddy lives and breathes his grind.

This client has been stamped as FAKE HOLLYWOOD for claiming to be Diddy when the grind did not match the level of time, effort, and energy Diddy initially put into his career (and still continues to do so) to catapult him to the next level.

FAKE HOLLYWOOD CERTIFIED!
