Aside from being a rapper, Master P has enjoyed a successful career as an entrepreneur and investor. Miller opened a record store inRichmond, California, calledNo Limit Records, which later became the foundation for his own record label of the same name.[49]
Miller was one of the first rappers to notice and take advantage of the retail potential of the music industry. As an investor, Master P was one of the first rappers to build a business and financial empire by investing in a wide range of business and investment ventures from a variety of industries. He has since invested the millions of dollars he made from his No Limit record company into a travel agency, aFoot Locker retail outlet,real estate, stocks, film, music, andtelevision production, toy making, clothing, telecommunications, a jewellery line, auto accessories, book and magazine publishing, car rims, fast food franchises, and gas stations.[50][51][52][53] His sports management agency No Limit Communications, a joint venture with marketing guru Djuan Edgerton, was a success. His conglomerate company, No Limit Enterprises became a financial powerhouse. Hisreal estate investment andproperty management company, the New Orleans–based PM Properties controls over 100 properties across the United States.[54] According to Black Enterprise magazine, No Limit Enterprises grossed $110 million in revenue in 1998 alone. This level of success inspired other rappers to branch out into other business ventures and investments.[54][1] Miller also has his own line of beverages called "Make 'Em Say Ughh!" energy drinks.[55]
Rappers had historically focused more on the artistic and glamorous side of hip hop music while paying very little attention to the business, investment, and financial aspects. All that changed in 1996 when Master P signed a music distribution deal with Priority Records, one where No Limit Records would retain 100% ownership of their master recordings and keep 85% of their record's sales while giving Priority 15% in return for pressing and distribution, which allows No Limit to profit from future sales such as catalogs and reissues.[54] Master P went on to make hundreds of millions of dollars from this deal. Additionally, Master P invented many innovative marketing techniques. According to Wendy Day, CEO of the Rap Coalition: "Master P had a whole marketing movement. He was the first person to market the way a corporate entity like IBM would market to their clientele." Whereas the traditional model for marketing records was to spend millions of dollars on expensive videos and air play, Miller did not have such a luxury. As an independent artist, Miller had to find a way to sell, market and build platinum record selling demand on a limited recording budget. He was known for keeping upfront business expenses down andprofit margins high. He began selling tapes out the trunk of his car in every city and town in America where there was potential demand for his music. He gave out free samples to people with expensive cars and had them playing his music throughout their neighborhoods. This street levelguerrilla marketing technique set the foundation to build a larger fanbase for the future. After signing his deal with Priority, Miller began a high-volume business model of cranking out as many records as possible, as frequently as possible. He branded all his albums, so that the No Limit brand became more important than the actual artist's name. Miller cross-promoted all his artists and albums inside the album covers. He also usedpen and pixel graphics andMafia-inspired themes to make his albums stand out using Photoshop. He offered 20 songs per album, whereas most albums offered 15 or less, as Miller learned that customers wanted more for their money. He turned his artists intoMarvelcomic book-like characters rather than just rappers. He made sure his artists were number one onSoundScan every time they released an album, to build the perception of popularity. He used inexpensive videos to promote his artists and he cross-promoted albums using films and vice versa and tied them altogether as a package. Brand image and identity became more important than just music quality. Miller's record labels have sold 75 million records as a result of his innovative marketing and branding strategies.[1][56]
As founder and CEO of No Limit Entertainment, Miller at one time presided over a business empire that included his conglomerate No Limit Enterprises,No Limit Records, Bout It Inc., No Limit Clothing, No Limit Communications, No Limit Films, No Limit Sports Management, P. M. Properties, and Advantage Travel. Miller represented former NFL running backRicky Williams when he was drafted by theNew Orleans Saints; however, the deal was rated the worst contract for a player in NFL History byESPN.[57] Miller manages the music, film, and television career of his son,Romeo Miller, as well as pop star Forrest Lipton and Atlanta rapperGucci Mane. Miller was the executive television producer for his teenage daughter Cymphonique's Nickelodeon Show,How To Rock, and the co-creator of Romeo!, the hit Nickelodeon television show that stars his son.[58]

In November, he signed with theSan Diego Stingrays of the short-livedIBL,[70] a "home for players without NBA skills and those who are developing them."[71] His performance was disappointing[72][73] and he played for less than a season.[74]
In 2004, Miller played for the ABA'sLas Vegas Rattlers andLong Beach Jam. He earned try-outs for theDenver Nuggets at training camp for the summer league in 2004 and the same opportunity for theSacramento Kings in 2005.[75] He took part in the 2008 McDonald's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and scored 17 points.[76] He also coached the AAU team the P. Miller Ballers with players such asBrandon Jennings,Lance Stephenson, andDeMar DeRozan who went on to achieve success in the NBA. DeRozan said of his time being coached by Miller: "I am forever grateful for having him in my life. ... He taught us about life, how to understand business—the business of basketball. He was, in a sense, a father figure."[75]
