Aubrey Drake Graham was born in Toronto, Canada, on 2 October 1986. He had a career as a young actor and reinvented himself as Drake – a rapper. He is famous for being a rapper, but he is also a businessman with a successful investment portfolio.
Drake’s approach to building a successful career focuses on surrounding himself with people who care about him and his goals. He has built a team that shares his goals, his values, and invest in his success. He rewards them for supporting him.
Drake approaches his goals with consistent and sustained action – he regularly releases music and clothing designs to build his brand and give his fans (and customers) what they want from him. He attracted the audience that liked his music and his style through understanding what interested his fans and promoting himself in line with his goals.
The lessons we can learn from Drake’s approach to building a successful career are that it is essential to understand yourself. In marketing terms, you need to know what your brand is and project it consistently. Understanding your personal brand is vital to make sure that people remember you and seek you out with the right opportunities.
All I want to do is work. I just want to make this album as incredible as I can. That’s really the best way to put it.
