48 laws every producer needs to know

[JAMESRRTT]

don't read them LITERALLY...they are just GUIDELINES for you to put into different CONTEXTS

right...........

 

[kenworth]

all great men HAVE or HAD enemies.

if you ain't got none, then you just ain't a GREAT man

YOU "CREATE" ENEMIES BY BECOMING A GREAT MAN

so that "law" is......if you don't have any enemies, then become a great man?is that really your interpretation?

 

[bandcoach]

So give the context because taking them as a set of axioms about power means that power is the context - me I say you are better off reading Dale Carnegie's How to win friends and influence people, along the same lines without the negative aspects

 

[JAMESRRTT]

When you reach a certain amount of success, no matter how good of a person you are your gonna have enemies, it just comes with the territory.

 

[kenworth]

When you reach a certain amount of success, no matter how good of a person you are your gonna have enemies, it just comes with the territory.

but it's not saying that enemies are a by-product of success, it says "If you have no enemies, find a way to make them."

 

[bandcoach]

Rereading it it strikes me as "The Prince" only the readers digest condensed version.

Yes, it does have that Machiavellian overtone doesn't it??? Acquisition of power at all costs is the really digested/condensed version.

The 48 Laws dont apply well to the profession of musicianship... they do however apply very well to positions where you can use your ability to influence others decisions i.e. politics, economics, sales etc.

And it isn't as Kenworth claims dogshit... no lie the ideas in this book can change your life if you apply them to your everyday life... you can see them at play daily if you look at the world for what it is... A huge game

is that really your interpretation?

again - each person should have their OWN "interpretations" of the guidelines; and apply them as needed.

If You’re Not Making Enemies, You’re Doing It Wrong

[bandcoach]

Well, I must be doing something right then, as I know I have a few people on here who are less than enamoured of me...

But I did not go out of my way to cultivate them, they just took exception to me and my answers

 

[BeatComMusicGRP]

Wow... end of conversation... he doesn't know Machiavelli was a person before Pac... goodbye... (exits thread)

that's what it says when you take it LITERALLY -

exactly, sir.

"let your raw passion for what you do shine, whether that runs in opposition to others or not"​

RIGHT...100% correct​

you only need to know about the 48 laws when you are dealing with other people that are using the 48 laws

i already stated what my interpretation was...the problem arose when you interpreted my interpretation incorrectly.

If You’re Not Making Enemies, You’re Doing It Wrong

"Making enemies is a natural byproduct of being a part of our society, and thus if you’re truly being social this will happen on the web. If not, how muchpersonality are you really injecting?"

that's 100% true, too...​
