BLACK BUSINESS 101

     I have to get on my SOAPBOX this morning. PEOPLE...& I do mean people...well, BLACK PEOPLE, before you open a business PLZ do research on it. PLZ take a class, there are too many online resources that are FREE if you are using the excuse that you don't have money to take a course on it. BUY or get a book on that business from the library.... "MY PEOPLE PERISH BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE....." and so will YOUR business!!!! WE HAVE GOT TO DO BETTER!!!!!!! STOP running your business on EMOTIONS & a POWER TRIPPING!!  Wear the attire your field REQUIRES!!!!! Stop looking like a ragamuffin!! Learn to be organized and if you don't know how PAY someone to help you until you get it together.  Remember to treat your employees or people that work in your business with the utmost respect and trust me they will return the favor.  We as a people need to learn how to talk to each other and how to be PROFESSIONAL.  Surround yourself with like-minded individuals & SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OWNERS with whom you learn their secrets to SUCCESS.  Learn customer service, and how to handle conflict and how to confront matters as a BUSINESS owner.  Learn to SPEND money that will BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS....YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY.  Your business needs to look desirable for people to want to work there & customers to want to spend their money there. Do not bring your personal drama and problems to your place of business...STOP IT.  Whatever goes on at home stays there.  Be an example to your co-workers/employees and know how to be a TEAM PLAYER.  The best "bosses" are the ones who get in the field and work, not the ones who stand at the sidelines and BOSS PEOPLE AROUND.  Remember if you have no employees/clients, YOU WILL NOT HAVE A business.
