do you care to make a worthwhile contribution and find success in doing so ??

Much of this society and it's business is about.. UNDERWRITING, GETTING UNDERWRITTEN, VENTURE CAPITALIST, PRIVATE FINANCING, pUBLIC FUNDING, GRANTS AND CO OP PROGRAMS, CONTRACT PARTNERSHIPS AND MANY OF SUCH NATURES ..OF """ FUNDING""""

and each of those maintain their guidelines, which does include character references, and public presentation.. liked or unliked .. that's fact.. and there is the procedure, and the meetings and they pay attention to everything, from how you dress to how you talk... unless you got a plan for the "new wheel" that will replace the conventional wheel... this process is in place.. and as blacks .. if we want to join that process.. we have to manage ourselves to meet not just the presentations standards, but there are character managment elements that are too involved.. communication manner and communication modes... without the concern for these .. then it's not much use of pursuing such backing and underwriting..

there are foundation by many of the nations wealthiest people.. and they are not just waiting to underwrite stuff.. they are out actively seek out things to underwrite.. they are out looking for the professionals and skilled who will go to the rural areas and build.. they are looking for the new entrants in many many fields they can support well laid out programs.. and they will fund it and provide the guidance as well as round up other resources.. but they have their rules and their guidelines.. and by right they should.. because it's their money and their will that can make other's ideas become reality.. and it must fit within a generalize mannerism of what is the ideal of america...

people may not know nor care about such.. but there is a culture of america that have one mission.. and that is to preserve the ideal of america and they have a caption of what that ideal is..

and to gain their help , support and their participation and contributions and backing.. then one... has to manage how they meet the standards...

They don't care about hip hop.. they don't care about being cool they don't care about who's tuff and who's not ... or any of the stuff the media has us labels with.. . but we have to make and represent the distinction of differences... they don't care if one comes from a broke family or the worst unit in a project.. they care about the meeting of the standards they set forth.. and build something that can expand to help the community of what is america...
they don't just sit back waiting with millions.. but they sit back with hundreds of billions of dollars.. and they will make the moves to meet the ideas that is well prepared and well presented and the character of the individual in equally well presented and represented..

and this is something that we as a people may very well care to consider..

now one can think what they want and claim they don't have to do this or that.. it's fine.. then they will struggle on their own and find many challenges that a bit of adaptations can remove in a flash..

there are people here in Shreveport who will support a good program.. the lady at the bank.. asked if she could have some investors contact me.. with an idea I discussed with her.. if I had not and did not present myself with a decorum.. not only would that offer not exist.. I could not have knocked on a thousand doors and even found a hint of an offer..


and I'll get my program laid out.. I'm working on one that is commercial at the moment but it has cultural elements all the way to the core of it.. but I also have some outlines for youth programs.. and I'm actively pursuing assistance within getting those on the table for discussion... within the people who are the principals that can make it real..

but I will not enter to meet with any of them without the suit and tie and my footwork as complete as I possibly can get it..

I'd love to meet with a investment and development firm in the city and share some thoughts.. and eventually I'll find one that can first hear the idea and if they like it they can reach the coordinating principals.. and then the idea has legs.. and can began to walk...

but we have to embrace process.. and non of us like the details of things .. that's just people nature.. we want it to just happen.. but the beauty of it's happening is built and brought forth thru the details and the love of the details..

I don't have many problems .. "yes" I have money concerns and needs just like everyone else, and after spending much of what could have been business related on trying to help family.. now I have to do work that I'm not the most driven to do.. while I work on building what I care to build that it may contribute .. but my biggest stress factor is " the stress to create and build something".. the stress of trying to find people that believe in a vision.. and running into people who are not inspired and have more doubt than optimism.. and dealing with people who are reluctant to get involved in anything. and then finding that.. if I want all the pieces put together I have to do it myself... I've learned building web site, studying RE and Notary and much else... but .. it's ok.. it's learning.. but what it won't be is it won't be a black business it will be "a people business" .. and I will seek out when it's blossoming "people" based on people who are self inspired and self motivated.. and self investing.. if not that.. then I should just stop and concede failure .. and that's not an option.

we all must start from some place and in some cases .. re-start.. and after nearly 30 yrs of working .. I have to start again.. and yet.. it's just a matter of living and doing .. to get something done.. and hold and have pride in what it becomes.
