Marina Buzunashvilli explains in “The Boss” how to make it to the top as a woman
Some may ask: Is there a need for a guide or memoir from a woman who made it to the top in a male-dominated industry? Aren't we all?? Reality check: Yes, it is necessary, and no, we are not. Any examples? In Germany, only one (1) woman sits as CEO in the executive suite of listed DAX companies. And German rap also often conveys an image of women that should have been considered outdated by the time of the Neanderthals.
That's why Marina Buzunashvilli is a role model for self-determination and belief in yourself
That's why you as a reader have to be grateful for tough business women like Marina Buzunashvilli: She made it from Kreuzberg, when it was still brutal and not hip, to the management levels of really big musicians. Not only that Robbie Williams andHer clients included - no, she made German rap icons like arrest warrant and Kool Savas big. The best thing: you can learn her really smart tricks and read about them in her book: “The Boss” is the name of it, and in it the Berliner explains how resilience, passion and...related to job and career. On top of that, it provides an exciting look behind the scenes of the glittering world of music.
“The Boss” by Marina Buzunashvilli: 20 lessons for climbing the career ladder
In “The Boss,” author Buzunashvilli divides the knowledge she has learned and experienced into 20 chapters, her “20 Rules for Success,” as she calls them herself. However, anyone who assumes that Buzunashvilli only talks about business is wrong: she links her life with her career path, she tells details from her youth in her book and thinks about it out loud, feminism andin the music world and always remains one thing above all: authentic (Lesson 13). It's refreshing to read that in this music business, around which 1001 legends spin, everything didn't just come to you: that she - as a woman - wanted to be involved, at the top, with the big budgets - and not because she was “with the right person did coke in the toilet”, but because she is YOU and her work speaks for itself (from: “Lesson 14: Meetings instead of parties, sorry!”). Absolutely empowering how Buzunashvilli ends her last chapter, the lesson “Sometimes the journey is really the destination”, and with it her book:
That as an entrepreneur, for example, she doesn't believe in astrologybelieves? Gifted. However, that they have the potential of German rap, hip-hop and also young hits like that ofrecognized immediately, long before many others? This can't be a coincidence. Marina Buzunashvilli learned everything on her own - including falling, getting up and carrying on.
"Die Bossin" von Marina Buzunashvilli
But haven't you learned everything at some point, achieved everything, even shown it to the fiercest rapper? Simple answer: no. Marina Buzunashvilli's “The Boss” is a manifesto for everyone, perhaps especially all women, who want more. She writes that she is more than a woman, more than the working class or the daughter of her immigrant parents, that she is more than just PR, German rap and ghetto child. That it is all of these things, but above all it is one thing: unique, with a thousand facets that you would not suspect at first glance. She is completely herself (in this case: “THE Marina”): proud, courageous, curious and maybe that's exactly why she's damn successful. And we can all learn something from this empowerment and healthy self-esteem that is ultimately taught in “The Bossin” in order to stand up for it in our everyday lives and in our careers, no matter how far they may be from German rap, hits and the like what really matters: ourselves.
