The Hip Hop Entrepreneur Business Plan!

Brought to you by....

An actual business plan you can use for your business!

“I bought your business plan when I realized I had an interested investor and it made me do something I'd never done before. FLESH OUT ALL THE DETAILS! I haven't even finished the plan and have gotten the a-ok on the finances! 6 figures! My plan is edgy so I had to alter a couple things but it was a great template. The stats you found fit our objectives exactly! They were up to date and cited with references. As I sit here chunking out the last few details and financial report (and Yes I used that calculator feature at least 20 times today), I'm here to say there is no equal for your business plan. Keep your fingers crossed, its time for me to save hip-hop!” -- Sir (formerly Sir Reigns)

Why you need a business plan these days

As the name implies, a business plan is a plan for your business. If your business idea is one that requires some capital (money) to launch or grow, then any investor or bank will request to see your business plan. The purpose of any good business plan, therefore, is to communicate the capabilities and talents of the principals (that's you and other owner/partners), and the soundness of the strategies you will implement in order to 1. grow the business, 2. achieve profitability, 3. repay any loans, and 4.reward any investors.


However, there's a more important reason for you to write a business plan. Even if you are not seeking investors or a loan, (and for those of you who know my philosophy, know that I maintain that you don't need MONEY to start a business, and that what you need instead is VALUE), the process of thinking through and composing your business plan helps you to declare your intention to yourself and the universe, focus on and commit to a specific outcome, verbalize and write down your goals, harness your innate creativity, activate the power of your subconscious mind, mobilize your Higher Self, and change your vibrational state, and the frequency of your thoughts to one of hope and the possibility of a desired future, thereby bringing to you, by the Law of Attraction, the people, events and circumstances which will work in concert on seen and unseen levels of reality to manifest your dream.


For that reason, even if you are already in business and making money, writing a business plan can help you. In addition, since market conditions are constantly changing, writing a plan (especially the marketing and financials sections) can help you get a firmer handle on what you are and can and should be doing to grow your business, where your money is actually going every month, and how to monitor and reduce expenses and operating costs. Additionally, a good business informs sales personnel, suppliers, and others about your operations and goals and, in-effect serves as an operations manual for your employees. A business plan is not a one-time-only endeavor. As it serves as guide, as well as gauge, many entrepreneurs tweak their business plans on a monthly, even weekly basis.

Not just for record labels!

"Once you recognize and respect the reality that Hip Hop is a legitimate culture with its own history, music, dance, dress and language, and that those elements of culture have value, you can turn your Hip Hop passion into profit to share it with the world without compromising your respect for that culture"--Walt Goodridge

Since this plan contains market, demographic and economic data for Hip Hop as an overall industry, the information and even the financials are applicable in a broad way. Along with the Hip Hop Financials Calculator™, it can be used as the basis for just about ANY Hip Hop Business! While every business plan format can be different, they all must include certain necessary information that banks and investors require, and that you need to master your company, your business and your industry....which brings us to a VERY IMPORTANT reason you need a business plan... to get a handle on, and market effectively in the NEW music industry!
