As a general rule, stars having an image of
partying too much limits sponsorship opportunities, which means less
revenue for you and your manager. Endorsers don’t want to log on and
see entertainers and athletes being promiscuous, cursing and
excessively partying and drinking. They will skip right over you for
endorsement deals, as not fitting with their brand and it will cost
you money.
Endorsers and sponsors don’t want stars representing
their brands, who engage in said conduct. It would damage their
brand. As such, it results in corporations foregoing sponsorship
deals with such athletes, costing you hundreds of thousands,
potentially millions of dollars in endorsement deals as an athlete.
And over what? Partying and being promiscuous with
women whose names you will not even remember. Years down the road
when you have trouble paying your bills, you will regret those
choices. Put things in perspective and realize having a career in
entertainment and sports is limited and you have to make the most of
it while it lasts. Don’t destroy your earnings capabilities by
making poor choices.
Often stars in their teens and twenties think
they're indestructible and know it all. The sad fact of the matter
is they have a lot to learn about life. Rule number one, it is
better to learn from other people's mistakes than your own,
especially when your own cause you to crash and burn.
