• (Independent Artist) This person can be male or female - A good mixture of artistry and business.

• (Artist) This person can be male or female - Has integrity and honor when creating art. Ego does not allow them to jeopardize their integrity and honor. 

• (GEM) This person can be male or female - Usually an opportunist - They exploit others and believe that it is ok to do whatever it takes to get the upper hand. For example, they will put you under label/contract only to silence/remove you from the competition. 

• (SCO) This person can be male or female - They are Really good at what they do except hiding their insecurities. They will go along with the majority regardless of right or wrong. They consider themselves to be artist but do not understand out of the box thinkers. They place a higher importance on popular opinion. Their ego can cause them to betray the ones who are genuine with them. They struggle with accepting others for themselves.

• (TAU) This person can be male or female - Not able to hold themselves accountable and are often emotionally immature well into adulthood. They will not build anyone up if it takes attention away from them. Toxic workplaces exist where they manage.  FOR EXAMPLE: Although this individual can be a male or female, behind closed doors they prefer males in lead positions even if less qualified. They place a high importance on sex and gender specific roles. Emotional instability causes them to lash out. They do not understand that marrying for money is the same as prostitution.

• (FRIENEMIES) These people can be  anyone (male/female) known or unknown including family. For example:  A heterosexual male who  (creates gossip & hate campaigns)  towards women he feels competitive with. For example:  A heterosexual female who  (creates gossip & hate campaigns)  towards men she feels competitive with.

 

These are just a few examples of people that you will encounter on your journey. Sometimes you will find them all in one place or in the same person. Just be aware of what you are dealing with at all times. Think about what it is that  you want for yourself and how you will go about accomplishing your goals.  It does not matter the path you choose for yourself, just be ok with whatever decisions you make.
