You can learn a lot about business and entrepreneurship from a drug dealer. ⠀
⠀
A lot of people may be shocked to hear this, but it’s true. Dealing drugs is not legal, but at the end of the day it is still a business. ⠀
⠀
In order to be a successful drug dealer you need to be the best in the game, with the best product, and the best clientele. ⠀
⠀
The same goes for any business. You won’t become the best if your product isn't superior or if you're targeting the wrong audience. ⠀
⠀
Being a drug dealer, taught me a lot about the ways of business. Even though I was selling illegal products I was still running a business. ⠀
⠀
I’m not the only drug dealer turned entrepreneur out there either. Klint Marketing even wrote an article about it titled, “30 Entrepreneurs Who Started Out As Drug Dealers”.⠀
⠀
As a drug dealer I had to know all about marketing, branding, and customer service. ⠀
⠀
I had to get the word out that I had product. I had to establish that my product was the best. And I needed to be able to prove that as well. ⠀
⠀
And I had to be accessible to my clients. No one’s going to wait hours to buy drugs. They need them when they need them. And if I wasn’t around then they’d go to the next plug. I had to make sure I was always available. ⠀
⠀
There is opportunity to learn everywhere. Even in the darkest of places. I’m sure that if I was never a drug dealer, getting to where I am now would have been a whole lot harder for me. ⠀
⠀
Who do you think knows more about business: A successful drug dealer or an old college professor?⠀
