Brick #1: Starting from Scratch...again

Inky Mann in Balboa Park, SD, CA
Emperor of The Inkland Empire


What up, yo?

After some consultation and review (thanks, Pop), I've decided to "rebuild" my Empire - The Inkland Empire!

Procrastination is a helluva drug symptom..Yep, DRUG SYMPTOM!

I had to take stock in what I was/wasn't doing. I was confusing my fans!I wasn't defining what I was doing.I was all over the place. I wasn't in ONE spot. I was doing a daily video blog with the same name as THIS blog! I wasn't writing for THIS blog.

To make matters worse, I've been through this a few times.As a matter of fact, see for yourself here and here.Crazy, right?

I even set goals:



  • §  1,000 views on any 1 video on my Channel
  • §  100 subscribers on my YouTube channel
  • §  100 Likes on my Channel BBP Facebook Page
  • §  100 Inkyatix brand shirts sold
  • §  My partnership with Brandon “ double B “ Pullins on his WCHS show/Livestream in effect.
  • §  My Blogs make $100 each for Benjamin Brothers Publishing
  • §  Become Self Employed making a minimum $50k
  • §  Employ family
  • §  Become Wealthy
  • §  Have YOU help me…
  • Some have been achieved ..some don't exist anymore..

    I review beer.I review food.I'm on Twitter, Facebook,YouTubeGoogle +,LinkedIn,Pinterest, Stumble Upon, Reddit and Instagram. My presence is all over, but...

    What am I doing?


    I figured it out...I think! LOL! I have fans for different reasons, so, I need to build separate communities.I learned this from doing research on Professional bloggers of all sorts.That's what THEY do. This will require A LOT of work...I'm up for it!It's gonna take carefully planned posts scheduled for future publication.Consistent building of the separate communities.Interaction.Weekly insights and metrics readings.Action.Possibly hiring a staff.

    I was focusing on making money, so, I was half ass setting up shit that needs to be complete and consistent. I need to do this for the love of building MY communities, the money will come later. When I was doing Hip Hop (Rap) music, I'd record, write, produce, be in the studios ALL NIGHT.I was paying for studio sessions with my own money! I loved it! I know now that if I would've monetized what I was doing THEN, I would be WEALTHY by now! I love blogging just as much..AND I'm old enough to know better

    I've come up with a plan and I'm gonna carry it out. YOU are gonna watch me do this (if you're up for it, you know you are, though!).Get you some popcorn, sit yo'ass down and watch the movie-The Inkland Empire (rated NC-17).

    This blog will be about entrepreneurship, becoming a MOGUL (as the blog name suggests) and just all around hustling. I'll take you on a weekly journey of me building my Empire, interviews of all types of business owners and Movers and Shakers.I want you to hold me responsible and use this as a way to get your stuff off the ground.

    Ride with me....
