What i took from video is that 50 cent is more than a rapper he is a businessman. By creating this audio equipment he is showing that he can do more than just rap. He stands behind his product and believes in it which is important when creating any company. You have to believe in your product and make it to the best quality you can. He also shows how to give back once you become successful. I would use these ideas in my career by remembering to believe and have faith in my career.

this video opens my eyes to how much you can make out of the cards you have. 50cent may not be the biggest rapper that ever lived. we dont see him that often on prime time television he is not the most chrasmatic speaker in the world. but he is a very successful musician and so he has plenty of pull in our culture. he takes full advantage of this and makes plenty of money off of his endorsements rather than only expecting his rap albums to carry the load.

I really like the idea that the company is giving back to the community; I believe that it is always good PR for a company to give back. I would definitely like to give back if I opened my own business or had the opportunity to with a business I am employed with. This practice shows the community that you actually care, and are not their just to make money. If you’re sole purpose for a company is to make money, you wouldn’t give it back; this is a sure way to gain the trust of your customers.

This video showed me a different side of Curtis Jackson. I never really knew how much input he had in all of his business endeavors. He seems to actually care a lot about philanthropy as well. This goes to show that people have different layers and if we never truly get to know them we can't see all of their potential. He has such a great work ethic. He's full of drive, persistence and passion, all of which make into a great business man.

This video show that no matter what your background or surroundings, you can become successful. Success is a mindset, something that drives you to become better than your currently are, or at a place that you envision in your mind.

I agree that you want to have a say with the business you need to have some controlling interest in the business. It allows you to makes decisions and be a part of the development. I think it is great when companies are involved in philanthropy. Especially in this case because the company involves the consumer directly to help with the cause. Every sale leads to meals for the less fortunate. It allows people to be involved with the cause and makes them become aware of issues around the world. I love the term conscious capitalism, still making money while taking social responsibility. I know as a consumer I don’t mind paying a few dollars more to the company trying to make a difference.

I personally enjoyed the message of this video. I like the fact that he is a celebrity that is actually giving back to people in need. He is not just saying he's going to do something to get appeal he is actually passionate about helping others. I also like the part about poverty or hunger here in america opposed to other parts of the world. I feel like many people don't realize in america we are truly blessed in a way that others would truly appreciate however most of us take it for granted on a daily basis.

I had no clue that 50 cent was so involved with giving back. I think that philanthropy is very important, especially when you reach a high level of success. Giving back to the community around you is something that anyone can do. You don't have to give money, you could donate your time instead. There are so many opportunities to make a difference in the world. It is a shame if you don't get involved with at least one.

I thought this video was very interesting. I did not know that 50 Cent was involved with other businesses. I think that it shows that businesses can be successful by starting slowly as well as being profitable while helping others. Many companies get greedy as they become more successful, but it's refreshing to see that someone as successful as 50 Cent wants to give so much back to others in need rather than keeping the profit for himself.

It is very obvious that Curtis Jackson wasn't satisfied with just being a rap singer, he had a bigger ambition than most of other people in the entertainment business, he started his own business in boxing, and became a very successful entrepreneur. Be ambitious, like what you are doing, have belief in your products or services, do SWOT analysis, and be social responsible are the keys to success.

50 cent knows how to think like a businessman. He knows what the audience wants and gives that to them. He was able to come from a rough childhood, and turn things around for himself. I think that people should know this about him, and it can inspire people to change the way they think too. They can use this to try to be successful in whatever they do.

I love the message of be patient becoming successful and give back when you do. I did not know that 50 cent was a philanthropist or had as much business knowledge as he does. I am impressed and he has gained another fan.

I like how he talks about already having it all and the bigger dollar signs not being the point anymore. Entrepenuarial capitalism can very much be viewed as a method and an art. At one point when we have it all we get to decide what we really want to do.

I thought this was an interesting video to watch. Fifty cents has the image of being a "rough rapper" who is known for fame. In this video you can see his side as an entrepreneur and he is very right, once you have the fame you need to revert that publicity and fame into something good and give back! You have to make money to give back and I believe what he is doing with the money he makes is a respectable thing. I support him.

Becoming successful is only a small part of becoming a good person. Once you reach a certain monumental point in your life you shuld try and give back. Giving back gives hope and allows others to see you helping others and will inspire them.
