In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

50 Cent é hoje um ícone do hip-hop e megaempresário, mas nem sempre foi assim. Criado em uma área violenta do Queens, já vivenciou tantas situações perigosas que nada é capaz de abalá-lo, inclusive no mundo corporativo. Inspirado na atitude implacável do rapper, Robert Greene, autor do consagrado As 48 leis do poder, instituiu a 50ª Lei para quem busca se tornar um mestre do poder: não tenha medo.

"Ce dont les gens ont le plus peur, c'est d'être eux-mêmes. Ils veulent être 50 Cent ou quelqu'un d'autre. Ils font comme tout le monde même si ce n'est ni le bon endroit ni la bonne personne.

On s'éloigne au galop de la seule chose que l'on possède : ce qui fait de chaque personne un être unique."
