Sean Combs, Hip Hop business mogul and CEO of Bad Boy Records, reveals ten ways for any individual to discover success. Having a non-stop work ethic summarizes the list, but he explains to VIBE in depth, the key to it all: 1. Work hard. Then work harder. 2.  Believe. Never loose your faith! 3. Count your pennies. 4. Be humble. 5. Listen. 6. Love. 7. Don’t make the same mistake twice. 8. Never settle. 9. Be confident. 10. Don’t get comfortable. 

Working hard, and then working harder is self explanatory. However, Puff is living proof of someone who continues to work hard. From being a rapper, to owning a successful clothing line, being the CEO of a multi-billion dollar record label, being an actor, having a reality television show, and having his very own alcoholic beverage.

In a recent interview with Toure of FUSE TV, Puff even revealed an explanation to rule number 7.

“I think one of my biggest business mistakes was not realizing that everybody wasn’t like me. Everybody didn’t have the drive and determination; everybody’s just not built for that. I think that some people need more time, and more nurturing…I mean artists that I’ve had. I’ve gotten older, I’ve become a little bit more nurturing and I’ve been a little more patient.” 

Combs recently launched a new website entitled DiddyBlog.com. This website was designed specifically to motivate people.

“The blog is an all 100 percent positive blog. It’s about inspiring you, motivating you, empowering your dreams. It’s not about any news about who’s dating who, who’s not doing good, who got exposed today, who’s this, who’s that, you can go to the other sites for that. It’s about motivation and inspiration and love — the love movement has begun. Even haters are allowed to come to DiddyBlog.com. It makes your teeth whiter. We want all of your advice, your constructive criticism, your positive notes because we want to make DiddyBlog the best it can be and we want you guys to give us the time to make it the best it can be. Can you imagine that I will not be selling CIROC on there? I will not be selling Sean John, I will not be talking about my movies or television shows. I can’t believe I’m saying this but yeah, I’m saying it. No Diddy promotions. It’s all about the love. I love you guys, DiddyBlog.com.” 

In an exclusive interview with radio personality Tim Westwood, Diddy speaks about finding peace and happiness within himself.

“Yeah, I mean, it’s just a point in my life, being in the industry, I have nothing but good things to say to people, I have nothing but positive energy to give, I don’t care if you like me, you don’t like me. I love you and I’mma keep doing my thing. Hopefully you’ll get it one day but I’ve been blessed to have a lot of fans and a lot of people love me and I just want my injection to be what I feel is great about people. I wanna inspire people — I don’t wanna bring them down. I don’t wanna talk about no BS. I don’t have no time for none of that. I wanna uplift us.”
