Last week I met someone new for the music business. Meeting new people is one of life's greatest joys.
A man named Ji-Won was a rapper, producer, and head of a record label that had a studio. As creators and entrepreneurs, Jisweon and I were able to discuss various collaborations we could pursue together in the future. It was possible because he and I, at least, are people who have the authority and will to decide on the future business.

There are essential conditions for a new relationship to have an impact on a creative business in the future. It is the “right to self-determination” that can be decided according to each other's will.
However, this encounter is an exception.
It is a class without decision-making power. After meeting these people, I feel down.
The first is the right to make decisions at work.
If you are in your twenties and thirties, this type of person is common in your workplace. When cross-departmental consultations are needed, these types say, “I don’t have the authority.” Or, “You follow the procedure. I like to say things like, “Please send me an official notice.” There are commonalities underlying these kinds of attitudes. they have no will New work, innovative work, creative work is just a nuisance that makes cracks in their lives. If this person is the gatekeeper of decision-making, it is a big problem. It should play the role of facilitating new work, but rather it plays the role of cutting out new ideas.
Several times I have been surprised in front of these people when I contacted the headquarters of platforms such as Wadiz or Kmong for affiliation. It was a phone call at least, but if I worked on a new project with such people, I would have a nervous breakdown.
This level can be passed off as “I stepped on shit.” The problem starts now.
The second is the right to decide in attitude. Attitude refers to the attitude towards life.
I think this kind of
“It is practically impossible to become rich on paycheck. However, it is impossible to leave the office and go on a new adventure. That's something you see in textbooks. In reality, when you are away from work, it is a jungle and a battlefield.”
“As I’ve been through life, the plausible advice people talk about never actually succeeds.”
“There are actually very few cards I can use in my life.”
“I want to be rich. But as an employee, it's difficult. But I can't escape the office worker. (Why am I taking such a risk?) So, I will become 10 billion rich through real estate auction or stock investment. how? By writing and wanting every day. That's about it. if you do that how how my life will work out Because it's up to you. Because I am positive.”
great and wonderful work. Or maybe it's not such a big deal.
For 'the way to live as oneself', there is an old-fashioned way to escape.
Those who do not have the right to decide their attitude are stuck on the path that others tell them to go. I consider myself a free person, but I do not decide anything myself.
This type of people tends to focus on small fortunes, and are self-hypocritically positive. He says he will be rich and happy. But instead of taking a self-determined adventure to go that route, I always see people evasive with affirmations or “it will work out somehow”. If you don't decide, you will have no choice but to be dragged along. As Montaigne put it, “To a person without a destination, no wind is a fair wind.”
I have heard countless times through books about what this kind of person thinks at the end of their lives.
I like new connections. At least not in the two categories above.
And most of those relationships make me more energetic. My business was built on this foundation. And if I can be more successful as a creative content entrepreneur, that method will surely come in the form of a relationship.
With that relationship that can decide your business and your life.
