Super Rich:  Maximizing Results for Yourself and Others

The recent global recession has dramatically altered the traditional paradigms of wealth as well as the mechanisms for creating it.  No longer are tried-and-true methods reliably effective and new constructs and perspectives must be sought-out and employed for future stability and security.  Russell Simmons is just the man to help guide this “revolution in richness.”  A master entrepreneur and visionary who is living proof that his advice works, Simmons believes that being “rich” has much more to do with how you live than what you have.  He wisely realized early in life that following certain principles can lead to monetary and personal fulfillment.

“Super Rich” takes audiences on an eye-opening journey that provides them with innovative ideas and practical tools for greater levels of performance and prosperity.  It isn’t simply a tutorial in making money but rather a roadmap for achieving success – personally and professionally, for oneself and others – beyond traditional measures of wealth.  Using personal anecdotes, real-world examples, and proven practices and philosophies, Simmons engages and energizes audiences with his inspiring message to harness the power of each individual’s unique gifts and tap into them to become “Super Rich.”

Business Karma: Doing Well by Doing Good

The past two decades have seen an explosion in entrepreneurship, and no more dramatic than in the social sector.  Just as business entrepreneurs create and transform whole industries, social entrepreneurs act as the change agents for society, seizing opportunities others miss in order to improve systems, invent and disseminate new approaches and advance sustainable solutions that create value – both social and monetary.

Russell Simmons is a social entrepreneur extraordinaire.  One of America’s shrewdest businessmen, Simmons parlayed a career as a hip-hop producer into an empire consisting of record labels, clothing and jewelry lines, and TV and film ventures by staying focused on building organizations, experiences, and opportunities that create long-term value rather than exploiting short-term gain.  Maintaining only one bottom line, he believes, is what keeps people in a vicious cycle of chasing money. Building businesses for the future based on what people actually want creates double and triple bottom lines, resulting in personal satisfaction AND monetary gain.  Simmons’ most successful venture of his entire career, RushCard, is a financial empowerment tool founded to meet the needs of underserved communities.

In a conversation-style interview, Simmons reveals his techniques for setting meaningful goals, delves into purpose-driven principles that keep him energized and focused, and shares the fundamental practices of being a good giver—so you can be an even better getter.
