Financially if you're not where you want to be this is for you! | Ryan Leslie | Producergrind Clips

- Ryan Leslie tells us the number one way to get more placements and to make more money as a producer. He talks about the unique ability we have to be connected to every opportunity we could ever want through our phones. He then makes a comparison to the percentage of contacts we utilize in our phones and the percentage of our brain we use as humans. He also says if you're not in the position you want to be financially, or in your career you need to spend the same amount of time you spend getting nice at producing, you need to be getting nice at building relationships. If you're not making 30 phone calls a day, its time to start!

Whoever reading this is going to be rich this year
Yesssssss!!!!🔥🔥🔥
I hope so
I receive
Yes
Amen🙏🏾❤️
People seem to forget Ryan Leslie is a genius that went to Harvard at 15. Some shit just isn’t luck. A lot of it depends on intelligence, and a persons ability to process information, because we all process different. I’m sure this cat would be successful in anything he attempted.
Reginald Gillespie yup my cousin is
Well said.
The point still stands though. Consistency and hard work produces results. That's why he used Nip as an example. Nip didn't go to Harvard. You show up everyday and put in work and progress will come. It might not get you there fast. Maybe not even get exactly where you set out to go initially but it will get further than where you've been and that's what's important.
I totally agree Regg!!!
You missed the point of the ENTIRE video if you don't realize it's about a MINDSET. To think otherwise is a cop-out
I gotta say, this is like the first time I've heard the interviewers sit there and LET THE GUEST TALK. Props for that alone
JBarber3d this!!
Fuck paying producers we will continue to short change those bastards. Thanks to youtube beat type desperate producers
@@oliveoil3917 of course a goldman sachs assocuate would short someone.....
JBarber3d learning that wisdom
Well... in all fairness... Most of the guests don't have anything meaningful to say...just saying.
Your network is your net worth.
Networking is the key to everything.
your picture :D
But how do you network
R6turn6dTh6Slab just look at everyone as having something to learn from. Whether it’s does or dont’s. And if you can keep in touch, really keep in touch. Ask them how they’re doing every week or 2
AntdezTV lmao deadass
AntdezTV if you’re respectful about it they won’t see it as using
Everything Leslie said was correct. As someone who got into the music industry (major labels) at 16, I'd always ask executives or anyone I could "What is networking and how do you do it?". It's a question that I was NEVER able to get the RIGHT answer to until I met a salesperson who had nothing to do with the music industry. I always thought networking was about having something to offer others, so because I was so young, I didn't think I could offer anything. I would lose so many relationships because I always thought, "why would they fuck with me, I got nothing to offer" and not keep in contact. BUT I WAS WRONG. Here's what she told me networking is, it's becoming a friend. It's about reaching out to folks, getting/giving advice, sending a complement, talking about sports, the industry, WHATEVER, it's about finding common ground to create relationships with people. Most dudes are afraid of rejection from guys they idolize, so I get it. But remember everyone is human and everyone has interests. If you know this person you want to know likes poker and you play poker, then use that as common ground, don't ask for your industry favors until you guys have built a relationship. But here's the killer, DON'T FORGET THAT YOU WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON. That means to control yourself and make sure they always see you as someone they believe can get the job done without embarrassing them. For example, you meet a music manager, you guys get cool, but he never sees you working, never hears any music from you, you're always late to everything and he only sees you drunk or high. Yeah, you got the relationship, but do you think he's going to respect you as a business colleague. No. People want to do business with people they like and respect and that's what networking is all about. Oh and don't get tripped up by the "everyone always wants something from me " talk anyone who thinks that way is immature and unrealistic about life (and they probably got a lot of people helping them as well). Yes, you can be a friend and don't take advantage of that (meaning don't fuck them over), but you gotta eat too and that's the way the world works. What's the point of knowing a bunch of people if you can't use that network to help you get where you want to go.
💯
Facts!!!!
YOU JUST SAID A WORD THANKS
This is great!
Round of applause brother. thank you for these gems!
Major Gem right here 💎
Man I love how it's like he's eager to help people and share his knowledge.

"Mundane tasks done over and over and over again, have lasting results" I hear you!
build your own empire, don't wait to blow up
Real shit
I worked on music for 6 years wanting to be signed.
The first time I submitted something I got a management deal.
I stopped doing music less than a year later.
My fear of failure was stronger than my desire to be successful, I let fear control me.
Do not let fear control you, be fearless.
Never be afraid to fail man... we learn by failing and it is a necessary part of growth and learning.
Fail fast and fail often but never stay down and get back on your feet.
Let nothing stop you from getting what's yours. You gotta own it.
not trying at all is instant failure- trying and failing is still learning
insomthegreat why did you stop after getting a deal?
Yoooo, that’s me. And I’m looking at Lizzo like wow , she poppin so what was I afraid of ? But I’m working on some stuff. ✨✨✨
what type od music genre were you in?
He's absolutely right about networking, reaching through your contacts to build relationships, but they have to be REAL relationships with people who are genuine, otherwise you're wasting time and energy on people who don't have your best interest. Choose your circle wisely.
Some people won't get you anywhere
Choose wisely.
Nathan Darmody Yes in deed. You must network where there’s no opportunity like saying good morning, how is your day, and how was your day. These greetings are time tested ways to build relationships.
Terrance Mcclendon a phone full of people will to waste your time
So true!!
I hate forcing connections - networking with people you don’t like - or make you feel uncomfortable. Especially as a woman if the person I’m connecting with is a man (it almost comes with the territory) that he’ll flirt, try to make our discourse less professional more personal etc and I’m not complaining I’m just saying it’s nice when it’s a natural process but I guess you have to go through certain things in life to give you the skills to not take things to take things personal and to not let it affect the way you see human kind🤷🏽♀️ but networking is key or whatever clearly 🙄 cos it’s what has gotten me this far and what will get me further 🙏🏽
8 mins and 46 seconds of F A C T S.

It's wonderful to see Ryan Leslie in 2019 .. 100% certified fresh #Earnival
Absolutely love this and I'm not even a producer or a beatmaker 🔥💯
He's right
its a life lesson bro..mans speaking facts about life
The way he speaks, It's about life in general, no matter what job you have, you want to have connects to help you move forward and vice versa, I wish the things i know now i knew when I was in my 20's I would be much further along financially when it comes to investing and career, etc.
@@MadStyle1911 Real talk brother
Real shit about networking. I was writing songs and performing years ago. I would go to the show. Perform get a lot of love then hand out my songs I performed on CDs I pressed up. No conversation. Didn’t network with the other acts that I genuinely liked. Wasn’t on IG yet. I can’t be mad because I lacked the knowledge but getting out in the mix is real.

He's not lying !! Put sum respect on his name
True story. I was pursuing songwriting and signed up for twitter in 2009. Real talk i started following A&Rs and started talking to 2 of them consistently for a year and Finally both started following. One from Atlantic and one from def jam. I got to meet both in person due to twitter. I agree get better at relationship building skills. Social capital is more important than cash capital.
What happened afterwards?
@@Honduliocoolio lol forreal so who are you now? theres alot of comments talm bout "yeah i did this and that and learned the importance of it." but who tf are yall foreal? lol
If this were a perfect world... Ryan Leslie would be shoulder and shoulder with Jay-Z, Dre, Puff! And he would still have Cassie. But this is not a perfect world
It's pretty simple. Sticking around regular people with no dreams, passion and willingness to make a change positively not only to their lives but being capable of imparting value into others lives will get you no where. They should be people that are doing all the opposite and having goals and triggering you to build and grow.
Love watching these videos I swear I only started making beats about a month ago and y’all been a big support with y’all video
Just realized I had one episode of Producer Grind playing on the TV and another paying on the phone... all day!
😂💪💯
It’s funny, working with young people for a short time as an Art Instructor, I realized anything that takes ‘long’ to do they call HARD. When in fact, it may indeed be quite easy, its just that mental fortitude and consistency is needed in order to benefit from it.
get out of your comfort zone hang with new people not to make friends but to make connections!
Dope content "mundane tasks done over and over get lasting results"

Right!!!!

Ryan dropped sauce all over that podcast.Helpppp,we need a mop......#WizeCounselor
Shout out to UA-cam recommended for this FIRE
Ryan Leslie Just dropped a gem . Many thanks for this info .Its crazy as little things like this can actually make a big difference in peoples lives.
Thats facts! Money is energy, so no current, no currency. Gotta start making the calls, people scared to call people nowadays
It's rare that u meet someone that's gonna stay in one place
Passionate people, the way they communicate. Pure joy
This is easier said than done. You can make all the calls and connections you want, but the gatekeepers will keep you at bay, unless you blow up, then you become beneficial.
But are you even doing that now?
Don't look for easy..look for *POSSIBLE*
You gotta be optimistic, the energy you put out is more powerful than you think. Keep your head up and drop that pessimist mindset. God bless you 🙏
Q Makes It Happen nah. I been through it. Just facts.
@@Jay-vy2hg I hear you, things definitely get rough but I got a feeling you're ultimately stronger. As someone who has seen a significant amount of adversity I choose to be a victor and not a victim.
*He is dropping all kinds of gems!!* 💎
Tons of respect for this channel and this man speaking
This part of the interview spoke to me the most
What Part🙄😟🤔
This just gave me new life and new energy
Les is the real deal. Sage wisdom for sure.
I've been repeatedly watching his full episode taking notes. So much free game to soak up. Definitely waiting on his book.
The brother Ryan Leslie has a wealth of knowledge to share. I appreciated the full interview.
This part of the interview is gold. I love deep talking!
I love Ryan Leslie, I still listen to his music today and he has always been good at business.
Ryan Leslie was creating the dopest youtube content 10 years ahead of its time. I remember his short clips/vlogs before everybody else was doing it on youtube back in 2011
Much respect to Ryan. I can listen to him any day of the week. Talking, producing, arranging, singing, teaching, etc.
Yes recalibrate the mind to be intentional!! And the power of consistency!!
Damn this is keys man, nothing like Khaled be saying or whatever.
R. Les been a game for so long he knows it yo, he can speak on that, shoutout to him talking about Nipsey yo
Whoooo I needed this! Ryan dropped some major gems wow
Love it!!
I agree with this. Loved the first few minutes talking about the phone contacts. I always tell people to network. If you ain't networking consider yourself unemployed. Out of sight, out of mind. Wish people happy birthday, wish them well, like their social media posts and congratulate them on their accomplishments.
MAJOR KEYS DROPPED HERE!!!!!! Great outlook and insight from Ryan.
This brotha is overflowing with wisdom. One of the most multi-talented under-rated artists of our time. #RLes4Prez

Thanks for this
Yes! Thank you for this!❤❤❤
The quickest 8 minutes I've experienced. That's because it was so good. Thanks Les.
Best interview of all time by Ryan. It got me out of depression and I went to work and built relationships and most died down because of envy and the crabs-in-a-barrell mindset but I've since kept at it. Sure, I get distracted from time to time but now I'm committed to becoming better.
Ryan Leslie 🔥🔥🔥
