Creator’s Thoughts Greetings From The Creators Hello and Greetings, I first would like to thank you for using small portion of your valuable time to inquire about what we have to say from the Creator’s Desk. You may ask yourself, What kind of magazine is this? Playa Connection Magazine promotes Playa’s (Individuals) that Flip Ideas into Income. Giving our urban aka “Hood” industry a more professional look to properly get the attention they deserve, there is a lot of talented individuals and entrepreneurs in the urban community. We feel just because their advertising with a low budget, doesn’t mean they should be perceived that way. We are looking to transform the Hood image to one that is more understood and recognized nationwide. We chose to launch with Don Magic Juan formerly known as a Pimp and during our pre-launch promotions we had a critism from one of our readers stating: If you’re trying to portray something more positive and professional, do you really want a pimp to be on the cover page? What kind of message do you think that’s sending? Yes, Don Magic Juan is a playa that flipped an idea into an income. We didn’t say nothing about positive image, positive or negative is based on you’re personal judgement or opinion. However everyone trying to earn a living from their talent or ideas deserve to have a professional look. What they do is what the do. What we are doing is showing the “Hood” from a different point of view. The purpose of this magazine is giving playa’s a voice (a clean professional one...marketing wise). We look forward to our readers’ constructive and positive, criticism, suggestions and most valuable feedback on future publishing’s in print, audio, and video of things we are launching with the intention to flip an Idea into an Income. While bringing money back to our communities. Awareness is everything, if the advertisement of a mega store hit first, guess what... the local business with the same product just lost that deal. When the money is being spent outside of these communities, there is no question why unemployment is at a high in America. Men and Women have fought and died for America to be the land of the free, however now it’s free to be or do what??? Playa Connection Magazine goal is to educate, inform and promote to our audience that there are infinite possibilities. In closing, stay plugged in with us and join our network of Playa’s that Flip Ideas Into Income... what’s yours? We want to hear about it. By Mail: P.O.

I’m here where the Real Reality Radio is turnt all the way up live at “The Don Juan Show” which airs live every Saturday night from 10pm to 11pm on www.RMCONAIR.com and call in at 310-965-1600. The show reaches out to a multitude of people across the world via the internet as well as great talent and entrepreneurs of all sorts have the opportunity to be interviewed. I have the one and only Chairman of the Board of Famous Player’s everywhere right here with me for an exclusive interview of his own, Arch Bishop Don Magic Juan. Bishop, will also be gracing the front cover of Playa Connection Magazine. Hott: Hello Bishop, it’s always an honor to be in your presence. Bishop: Chuuuch! Hott: Define yourself with one word? Bishop: Savior Hott: Who is and what do you represent? Bishop: Confident, somebody people want to know. I represent the people who don’t have a voice. It’s amazing for my background, I have a wide audience from law enforcement, doctors, and lawyers who know me and want to know me. Hott: What inspires you? Bishop: My Mother and my Father. My Mother taught me love and my Father taught me about money. So, I’m definitely inspired by them. My Father had a restaurant and three buildings. My Mother had so much love that everybody loved her. So, I learned both sides of the coin. They are what really inspired me. Hott: Most people re-invent themselves every 5 years. How is it that you re-invent yourself daily? Bishop: You can’t stay the same way all the time. You got to make a change. You see technology change Everything is like the world turning, its evolution. You got to change with the times. “I change with the understanding of my mind.” I’m not one who follows the Joneses. I don’t change with you go wearing jeans, I wear jeans. No! I change with the understanding of elevating myself to the next level. Hott: You once had your own physical congregation, “Magic World Christian Kingdom Church of The Royal Family” in Chicago for 3 years. Have you considered opening the doors to a physical congregation here in California? Bishop: No. I have a lager following through mass media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I’m able to reach move people this way. I’m able to help a wider variety of people. I just like giving and helping. I know where I came from. I know where I came from people need help. We all need an encouraging word. Thru social media I can reach more people. Hott: Congratulations on the 1 year Anniversary of “The Don Juan Show” which streams live every Saturday night from 10pm until 11pm on www. rmconair.com. How does it feel to be a powerful force thru social media with your show being live reality radio for 1 year? Bishop: Chuuuch. It’s a blessing to be able to reach so many people, to continue to show the love I have for all people and to hope that the people continue receive a positive word or influence from being a part of the show. Hott: Who were some of the people who attended the 1 year anniversary show? Bishop: Some of the people who fellowshipped with the Church were of course my co-host DjKraz_e, Debbie the Glass Lady, models the Howe Twins, Queen of Comedy; Luenell, Rappin’ 4 Tay, and Misty, the daughter of “Ice Berg Slim”, a host of love ones came thru. Hott: What is the next venture for you, Bishop? Bishop: I’m working on it now. The documentary, “The Life Story of Don Juan” is complete. We are looking for investors. Financial investors are welcome to step up, contribute, and make it happen. I already have the book out of my life story, now the documentary gives an in- depth view of my life story. Hott: I’ve smelled this awesome smell all night, which is your cologne. Are you ready to share the name of your fragrance? Bishop: Yes, it’s called “Juan In A Million”. I designed it myself. It’s a great smell that’s up there with Georgia of Beverly Hills, P. Diddy fragrance. It’s one of those fragrances that can be in Marshall Fields or in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive. It’s for a man or a woman, unisex. Hott: If, a special someone wanted to cater to Bishop with a home cooked meal, what would you request? Bishop: Meat loaf, mash potatoes, and green peas. That isn’t hard for me, I’m a hamburger man. Everybody knows that. Hott: Thank you, Arch Bishop Don Magic Juan. Much continued success with your Life’s Journey as the ‘World Is Watching’.

OMG! that It’s!!!... I bet everyone will buy something like this! That’s usually where the idea is born. Ok you have a great idea, what do you do is where most people get derailed or often literally abandon it because they have absolutely NO CLUE of what to do next. All they know is they have a great idea. A Great Idea is only the beginning, transforming that idea into an income is a process and sometimes has to be a very creative one when you don’t have the extra capital or cash to pay someone else to do what you don’t know how to. After the great idea has invaded you piece of mind: 1. Classify the type of people who could use your idea? in other words Target your market, ask yourself will women or men want or need your idea. What age group will want your idea. The reason you are doing this is to define where you will attempt to sell your idea once created and ready to go. However you need to know before you go out and do the worst thing possible… WASTE YOUR TIME! Often we get an idea and we offer it to people who don’t want or need it. It’s not that your idea isn’t any good, it’s just that person didn’t have a want or need for what you’re offering. It’s like offering a fat juice piece a steak to a person without teeth. When you offer your juicy idea to a person who doesn’t have any teeth, don’t throw in the towel just find the people who do that are interested. 2. Do some research to find the people that you think want you’re idea. In today’s technological world saying that you can’t get the knowledge you need is an excuse, you can search online for networks, events, organizations and more who will be interested in your idea. Ok so now you have a great idea, you know the type of people who more than likely want or need your idea… 3. What do you call it? Sometimes the name means just as much as the idea itself. Take a second to come up with at least 5 names and then a tagline for each that explains what it is your doing. Remember, it’s your idea you have thought about it and if it’s something you do, you have done it regularly. The person you are offering it too has never heard of the name but if the tagline tells them what you do, makes it easier for the person to understand the want or need. For instance… the name: Playa Connection Magazine | the tagline: “Playa’s that Flip Ideas Into Income” 4. How much do you charge for your idea? First if it’s a tangible product: add up how much it takes to produce your idea. If it is a intangible service: how much do you want to earn in exchange for your time doing it. Take a look around again do some research to find out how much others with something similar are earning from their sales. Try to stay close to home with that. Don’t try to beat a price from another state or country because you saw it online. Look for it locally, google search your idea and end it with your city and state. If you are selling music find out how many music stores offer your music in your area. How much do they sell music for and etc. Now you’ve done your homework and you are ready to move forward with production and marketing for sales. 4. How do you get it all this data out of your mind and transformed into material to present to people? The first thing simply get it on paper, (you’ve been writing and making notes, now doddle a drawing if you can… stick figures and basic shapes are fine, don’t expect it to look as good as the image in your mind) if you can contact a graphic designer to help get the image out. Presentation is everything when attempting to offer something in exchange for money. 5. Now it’s on paper you have marketing material, what do you do with it. So knowing a little about the industry your idea is in will help you know where to take it. Often when trying to sell your idea, beginners make the mistake of trying to sell it to the people they know who know that you are trying to make money off them. Some will support you but the ones that don’t, use them for feedback to fine tune your presentation… but never stop. Flipping an Idea into an income takes Time, Planning, Consistency, and Persistence. Not just what if thoughts. Most of all the desire to achieve the vision in your heart, mind and soul carries you through to the promise land. Keep your Faith and generate the income you need or want.
