I learned how to be an entrepreneur by trial and error
… and since I am celebrating my 25th year in business I’d like to share the truth about Black Owned Businesses and More. I’m following the VERY first rule of being a successful entrepreneur. GIVE BACK but be careful of HOW you give back.
Don’t give like a FOOL to people who feel entitled or who try to use you (and there will be many it’s the first sign of success, people asking you for something). But give in situations where you get something back, sound selfish? You will either give ALL of what you have and have nothing left or you can give SOME of what you have as an investment and quadruple your earnings. Which one would you choose?
So I’m celebrating my 25th year as an entrepreneur this year. I was prompted to write this after someone called me about someone who has just lost their corporate job and they asked me “Why doesn’t he last anywhere more than a few months?”
thought about that knowing that I’m blessed to be a successful entrepreneur and I believe this person has the same passion and potential from their past experiences. It’s not that they can’t keep a job, they may be better suited to work for themselves.
Becoming an entrepreneur is a great risk, but it can be equally rewarding.
In the future, we can hope that there will be a complete end to racism and prejudice. Entrepreneurs can play a huge role in changing our world as well as society itself.
Great risks with great rewards.
Kevin,
I command you for thoughtful advise. Prejuce s reality; but ignore prejudices for bigger purpose. Prejudice is like an iceberg, it is solid like rock but you can melt it, like heat of Sun does it. Shine like Sun with your passion and perseverence and prejudice will turn into cash partner. Be patient and rise above all negetive obstacles.
Thanks Kevin. Keep up good work. Good luck.
May God richly bless you.
Thank you and yes you are so right!
K
