Master P plans to take his hip-hop empire to the stock market. He is not content with simply running his own record, retail and custom rim businesses. He wants his companies to be publicly traded.

"Pro-athletes and entertainers can make millions," Master P says, "but people with a mission and financial knowledge can make billions."

Master P has traded a life of frequenting award shows and music industry parties to instead educate himself on Wall Street. He recently spent time at the Donald Trump Learning Annex - Real Estate Wealth Expo, keeping company with Trump, Three Master Secrets Of Success co-author Curtis Oakes, Rich Dad Poor Dad writer Robert Kiyosaki, and Ervin "Magic" Johnson.

"Most entertainers can't afford to sacrifice four years of their lives to educate themselves on financial investments, stocks, real estate, and taxes," Master P says. "I've matured. It's time for a career change and to think out of the box."

He wants to share his knowledge with the public via Guaranteed Success, a forthcoming book, audio CD, and DVD. Additionally, he intends to start a national speaking tour on building generational wealth which will target corporations, schools and communities.

"It's time to educate our people in financial investments, real estate and taxes," Master P says. "Hip-hop is a 14-billion dollar industry, and it's time for us to take ownership of our shares."
