American rapper and business mogul, Rick Ross has remarked that empowering friends and family is one of the most important strategies for remaining wealthy.
According to the Hip Hop artist, if someone is wealthy and everyone else around them is poor, it will only cause trouble for that individual.
During an interview on Hot 107.9 FM, the Maybach Music founder pointed out that if a wealthy person makes investments that empower individuals in their circle, they would no longer need to request financial favors or aid.
According to Rick Ross, the person would have to educate his circle about the strategy in order to empower them and help them understand that they shouldn’t ask for anything if they aren’t willing to work and earn their own money.
The music producer claimed that his mother and sister haven’t asked him for anything in years since he adopted the philosophy in his nuclear family.
Ross said;
“Staying rich – one of the biggest keys to that is empowering your circle, empowering your family, because you being rich and everybody else being broke next to you, it’s only going to be so long before you’re jammed up.
Just like my mum, my sister, they ain’t ask me for nothing in years”
