Black owned businesses are unique in America. We are in a strange position of having a soaring unemployment rate and are the last to get hired. It is also very tough to also get funding for black businesses. As usual, it will require a ton of heavy lifting to get our businesses successful. The reality is that no one is beating down our doors for jobs, income, or funding so we must figure out a way to do this ourselves.
Even though people can’t embrace this fully, the Internet and the mobile phone is the future. We must pro-actively understand the complexities of the Internet and not shrug it off and not consider understanding web services and Internet technologies. The new dinosaur, who was killed off and didn’t survive during the ice age, are those who do not understand the Internet from a technological point of view.
The people who will win in the coming 10 years, are people who know the Internet and who leverage the Internet to grow their businesses. Do it now. It’s your only chance for survival.

Reportedly, Day 26 has divorced from Bad Boy Records. Diddy has moved the label from Atlantic’s Distribution operations to Interscope and Day 26 was not brought along in the Interscope deal. We are still investigating this now. On the surface, it looks like Day 26 doesn’t have a home but we never believe anything like this when it comes to Diddy Sean Combs. He always maintains a strong stranglehold on artists that he signs and keeps their rights to Bad Boy. I cannot imagine that Diddy would let go of them that easily.
It doesn’t matter what they think. This was proven on P. Diddy’s Making His Band that I watched via Comcast two nights ago.
It doesn’t matter what they think. This was proven on P. Diddy’s Making His Band that I watched via Comcast two nights ago. Someone who is on the show has all of those so called things against them and they have the most talent of all background singers. I was so impressed that Diddy literally walked over to her and asked her directly what her sexual orientation was. He wanted to hear it for himself. It was very moving that Diddy, Andre Harrell, and Dallas Austin thought she had extreme talent.

This proves one simple truth: it’s not always what you look like. God has created you with a special super talent. Find it. Grow it. Become it. And don’t be afraid of the criticism.
Make it happen and get things crackin for you. You don’t need anyone to achieve most things in life. I didn’t need a perfect life, a perfect father, a perfect house, or a perfect football field. I needed myself and I needed to throw the ball. That was my goal and I measured it.
Everybody wants to harness how to be successful, now more than ever. Here’s the one secret that is elusive to almost the entire world: do the unthinkable to garner success for yourself and not anyone else. Don’t think about pleasing some corporation, your parents or some job. Think about going to the entire next level for you. Get off Twitter, go on a Facebook fast, and get some MASSIVE stuff crackin’ for yourself.
Candace Allen pictured Making it Happen for herself
Years ago, I used to motivate my little sister Nandi Rene by singing a song to her when she was a little girl. The song went like this: “Make it happen for yourself.” I had a little tune for it which I will not bore you out of your mind with. I didn’t have to learn this from Russell Simmons, Rev. Run, Master P, or anyone. I learned this for myself. Do not rely on anyone else and take whatever you do to the next level for yourself and everyone else will come running to you and success is yours.
Here’s an example. In order to get myself into a position to beat out New York Yankee former catcher and current skipper Joe Girardi when we were both quarterbacks in high school, I started throwing the football everyday and would do it 500 times. How do I know? I counted every single throw that I made and had a log. I didn’t need some so called guru to tell me this. I did this on my own. I went WAY above and beyond to get results and make it happen for myself. I did the unthinkable. I spent the unthinkable hours providing myself with tools to make the coaches say “WOW!” But it wasn’t even about the coaches. It was about me. It is about YOU.
Make it happen and get things crackin for you. You don’t need anyone to achieve most things in life. I didn’t need a perfect life, a perfect father, a perfect house, or a perfect football field. I needed myself and I needed to throw the ball. That was my goal and I measured it. If you’re a writer and you truly write, finish your book or your script or your articles by Sunday. But do it in a gargantuan way. Do it MASSIVE. Do it NOW. Make it happen for yourself.
In the movie “The Secret”, the people magically thought about stuff but they never tied into the action. Thought without action is a dead man’s garden. I think, I do, I create, I put it out there. I risk. I persevere. I have patience. I wait. I act. I think. I do. I respond. I pitch. I measure. I sell. I think. I do. I put it out there. I risk. I have patience. I wait. I look. I see. I respond. I do.
Back in the day, before all this new thought and The Secret was out, I read several great books from Shambala books in Berkeley, California. I read “As a Man Thinketh So Shall He Be” in 1991. I also read “The Art of War”, “The Art of Peace”, “Message to the Blackman”, “Metu Neter”, and “The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey”. All of these books that I read in 1991 made me know that you are what you think about. Action is tied to thought. Thoughts are tied to action.
The Honorable Marcus Garvey, my thought leader
Adisa Banjoko and I were voracious readers and subscribed to this mentality. People ask me, “Why The Underground Millionaire?” I am what I think about it and I am who I thought I was. My thoughts reverberate out into the universe. My thoughts synaptically connect to my like minded friends in Beijing, China, Israel, Brazil, Curacao, Oakland, Atlanta, New Jersey, New York, and Peoria, Illinois. Right now, people are reading this and come visit my site from Australia, Israel, Indonesia, Beijing, and Tokyo. I’m not kidding. I look at my stats every day and each morning at 5 am.
I wake up every day around 5 a.m. to start my wealth building and my millionaire mindset. Each day, I get a cup of hazelnut coffee, read the Harvard Business Review blogs, comment on the blogs, and check my Internet stats and start my business day. I work from 5 am – 9 am and then go for a 6 mile run. I am developing an application that I will sell for $3.8 – $15 million soon. Am I a millionaire? Most definitely. Am I successful? Most definitely. You are what you constantly think about and act upon. You can’t just think and not act. Action is the key piece to this thought process.
In the movie “The Secret”, the people magically thought about stuff but the film makers never tied the action into the thoughts. Thought without action is a dead man’s garden. I think, I do, I create, I put it out there. I risk. I persevere. I have patience. I wait. I act. I think. I do. I respond. I pitch. I measure. I sell. I think. I do. I put it out there. I risk. I have patience. I wait. I look. I see. I respond. I do. I love.
This action is the key to how to be successful in a forever turbulent world. A world where there is nothing left solid to believe in. A world where everyone is scared of losing a job and you can’t count on the recruiter to ever call you back. Ask me how I know. I live this world. Do I wait on this? No. I respond. I create. I do not sit idle waiting on my turn to be called. I am a quarterback. We wait for no man or woman for our success. You can bank on that.
Gerard Spinks, CEO, Spinks Industries
Sometimes, I’m super corporate and love pitching ideas, get funding, and do highly technical software engineering. Other times, I like bangin’ Tupac Ambitionz as a Ridah while mobbin’ through the Bay Area.
I am a very interesting terrestrial being. I’m definitely not your average cat and I truly mean that. Sometimes, I’m super corporate and love pitching ideas, get funding, and do highly technical software engineering. Other times, I like bangin’ Tupac Ambitionz as a Ridah while mobbin’ through the Bay Area. Being a young black man is fairly tough in America. When I’m up in corporations, I’m always rare. You hear me? I’m always only a handful of young black men or women that do software development for major corporations.
Young Black Men and Women must fight to overcome
I used to think that was cool and be infatuated with being the first young black something up in the corporate world. I’ve been shit on in corporations more times than you can think of. I’ve been let go from contracts and jobs when other people securely kept their jobs and livelihood intact (and I’m not talkin’ about this recession only). I stood by in Oakland when all the cops beat Rodney King to a pulp on video camera and they were all found NOT GUILTY. I’ve seen Sean Bell, another young black man, gunned down in the streets on the way to his wedding in New York and all the white cops free to live great lives.
I’ve seen Indians come into the marketplace and job place and look at me like I’m crazy and I remember a time when there was one Indian guy at the job in Oakland. No others at all. They weren’t even really in the country like that back in the early 1990’s. I had to fight against white people kicking me out of the corporation and fight Indians trying to keep me out of the corporation. All in all, it seems like the world loves to have a young black man poor, stripped of everything and broke like you ain’t shit. It’s true. Trust me.
To counteract all this American bullshit, I’ve had to become an entrepreneur and learn how to make my money outside of these clearly racist corporations. I had to think to win or sink or swim. I had to find out how a young black man makes it in this world without depending upon others for my sustenance. Hasn’t been easy but I encourage all young black men and women to think for themselves. Corporate America which is now Indian America loves to have us be the last cats in the job. With Indians doing the hiring, every single time they see me, they decide I have no skills even though I know way more than them. I’ve truly been forced to think on my feet. Improvise. Think wisely and smartly every single day so that I can feed and have a great life for me and my daughter.
I spend a great deal of time on her and her education because I know the world would rather see me and her as broke ass niggas. I know this for fact. I am a recipient of it and have lost thousands of dollars and lost personal belongings because of this reality in America. The thing is though, these negative people and influences cannot stop a true leader. A true leader learns to overcome all this bullshit that’s thrown at us and learns to hit curve balls and off speed pitches. America will always try to render us the Walmart worker and have us not make shit. We must overcome this and make money on our own without depending upon corporate systems to always get a job.
