I started treating my career as if it was a guarantee,if things get difficult and things don't work out, I'm not gonna think I have a Plan B, which is grad school, or Plan C, which is an office job. I'm just gonna have a Plan A, a Plan A 2.0, a Plan A 3.0, and that's what I'm going to do. Because entertainment and YouTube are always going to be my Plan A.
Lilly SinghAs a digital creator, there's been so much pressure to write a book because so many of my peers have done it. I've been very adamant about saying, "No! I don't want to release a book just for the sake of writing a book. I'm going to write a book when I feel like I have something to say in a book."
Lilly SinghI'm a big believer of having a vision board, so I have a vision board, and that's motivating because it shows me all the things I have accomplished and all the things I still want to accomplish.
Lilly SinghNow I do feel like I have something to say. The book [How to Be a Bawse] is a guide on how to not just survive life but to conquer it. And it's based on my life experiences, all the people I've met, all the things I've learned from those people, being in the weird situations that I get in.
Lilly SinghI always wanted to be someone in the entertainment industry. In my eighth grade slideshow, when everyone was like "show us what you want to be," everyone [said] doctor, lawyer, [but] mine literally said rapper. I wanted to be a musician, I wanted to be a superstar, I wanted to be on stage, I wanted to perform, I wanted to be in movies. But as you grow up, those dreams kind of fade away.
