Chapter 06 - Entrepreneurship and Starting a Small Business
Getting to Know JAY-Z, Rapper and Founder of ROC
NATION
Shawn Carter, aka Jay-Z, has sold over 45 million albums worldwide and is one of the
world’s richest musicians. He founded Roc-A-Fella Records in 1996 and retained control over
his image. When choosing endorsements, he carefully considered the products and again kept
creative control. His branding expertise has helped him in all of his ventures. Being successful
in business, not just music, has opened many doors and relationships (with Bill Gates, Warren
Buffett, and former President Bill Clinton)!
I. THE AGE OF THE ENTREPRENEUR
A. The need to CREATE MORE JOBS is a major issue
in the U.S. today.

their risk. Today these suppliers still service this mammoth company that has fran-
chises all over the world. Name that company.
(Students should read the chapter before guessing the company’s name:
McDonald’s.)
