4 Unexpected Lessons We Can All Learn From Beyonces Career
4 Unexpected Lessons We Can All Learn From Beyonces Career I would write an introduction for Beyonce, but you all know who she is. As one of the worlds fruchtwein famous pop stars, she has earned a net worth of over $350 million. Since coming on the music scene in 1997, Beyonce has binnenseen this success by capitalizing on zu sichbei art and zu sich personal brand both of which are fueled by zu sich sincere passion for her lifes work.We could all learn a thing or two from the superstars business success. As shes turning 37, here are the biggest lessons from Beyonces stellar career so far.Make Space For YurselfThe trailer for Beyonces documentary (because, of course, she has a documentary) closes with a quote this pop powerhouse lives by Power is not given to you. You have to take it.No one asked Beyonce to be the biggest black pop star of our time. In fact, lots of people probably preferred that she failed. She went out and made a spot for herself, rather than sitting around and wai ting for the industry to invite her in. And despite never being celebrated by the Academy, she keeps pushing and demanding that shes a major voice in pop music.Similarly, no one told Beyonce she needed to expand her portfolio. She did it to make herself as successful as possible. Now, she owns a clothing line, a record label, a streaming service, and a subscription-only website. Thats what I call maximizing your net worth.If we can learn anything from Beyonce, its that no one is going to beg you to be the best you can be. No one is going to be you to make it big, or to do that thing youve always been wanting to do. You have to go out and get it yourself. And when someone doesnt invite you to the table, you need to drag a chair up and sit yourself at it. Even when its hard.Be YouOne of the most powerful parts of Beyonces brand is that she is wholly herself. She broke off from Destinys Child to pursue the art she wanted to create, and she has only gotten more successful as shes reveal ed more of herselfin her work. Lemonade, her most personal album to date, was her best-selling and most critically-acclaimed.Can you imagine if Beyonce wouldve hidden her passion and her personality? Can you imagine if she wouldve stayed the lead singer of Destinys Child, instead of pursuing what she cared about and what she wanted? Beyonces success being herself proves that people will always see when your personality and passion shine through.You have to allow yourself to stand out a little to reach your max potential.Hard Work Will Be RecognizedWe often hear advice to work smart rather than working hard. A wise person will often suggest that strong soft skills can make up for effort wasted on the small things.But Beyonces reputation as one of the most meticulous and therefore, most awe-inspiring performers to date proves that hard work will be recognized by people who admire your work, and will catch the eyes of those who dont know you.A clear example? Beyonces 2018 Coachella per formance caught the eyes of critics for her dedicated performance. She was credited for completely changing the festival, and really all festivals. She completely reset the standard for pop performances with one set.The New York Times said of the performanceSome superstars prize effortlessness, but Beyonc shows her work the cameras captured the force and determination in her dancing, and also her sweat.... Occasionally her set was punctuated with fireworks that, compared with what was happening onstage, seemed dull.However, its not just Coachella that Bey slayed. Every show on her tour is touted as being just as impressive, allowing her to sell out massive stadiums. Rolling Stone said of theOn The Run II Tour, Indeed, such was the sensory overload that occasionally you felt, as with an all-action blockbuster movie, that you might need to see this tour more than once to catch every nuance.Own Your SuccessBeyonce has been a loud and proud feminist for years. On her highly praised alb um, Beyonce, she features a narration by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie that loudly proclaims a feminist is a person who believes in the social, political and economic equality of the sexes.And one of the ways Beyonce ensures women see economic equality is to lead by example. She makes it a point toshow women that you dont need to be scared of boasting about your accomplishments. In fact, thats how we all move up on the corporate ladder, and in life.Beyonce isnt scared to celebrate her paper and her personal successes. She is consistently proud of her own hustle, and isnt scared to use her past accomplishments to prove her worth.She would tell you to ask for that raise. Go prove you deserve that promotion. Do anything you can to get that money, girlfriend
