I Want to Work for Diddy!

There’s something so MOTIVATIONAL about watching Diddy’s new show. It gives me the boost to just get up, go out, and do something!

Not only do I enjoy the show because of its motivational value, but also because of the valuable lessons it teaches in how to become a SUCCESSFUL and GREAT assistant. To anyone striving to become someone’s executive, personal, administrative assistant (esp. in the music industry) take a few tips from day one of Diddy’s swagged out version of The Apprentice!


Tip #1 KEEP IN CONTACT

Communication is Key!
You have to be able to reach your assistant at any time: Day and Night! Blackberry is everything! And once you get one, make sure your battery does not die!


Tip #2 FIND A WAY OUT OF NO WAY

Be Resourceful!
Take your lemons and turn them into lemonade.
Figure it out. If someone says ‘No’, figure out a way to make them say ‘Yes’.

“To succeed in anything in life you need a vision. Now, If you can’t see the forest through the trees, you need to chop them mother f****ers down.”


Tip #3 DIDDY DON’TS

- Don’t come in looking a mess
- Don’t smoke cigarettes
- Don't not write stuff down; Write everything down!
- Don't ever be sedentary; Always be busy
- Never say “I Don’t know”. Instead say “Let me find out”
- Don’t mistake and think he’s your buddy
- Don’t not give 100%
- Don’t be lazy
- If he’s not talking to you – Don't comment
- Don’t think he’s your friend
- 5 phrases you CAN say .#1Sir. #2Thank You. #3Yes. #4Here you go. #5 Anything else?


Tip #4 CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP

Give it your all! Go Hard or Go Home.
You don’t have a personal life. His personal life is your personal life


Tip #5 CARRY IT ALL

Carry all of his stuff everywhere you go!
If he says “White” you need to have “White, Black, Blue, Green, and Orange.”

Bonus Tip SLEEP IS FORBIDDEN

“You know what rhymes with tired??”
