Are You A Natural Born Leader?

Is this economy making you question your leadership? Don’t let it. If you are a natural born leader and the economy is making you stumble and fall, you are still a leader. Put it this way, if a tsunami comes and wipes away your car, your home and your village and you stay alive, are you still the person that you always were/are?

A resoundingly YES, YOU ARE! You have not changed because business is difficult and it’s tougher to win clients and close deals. You are still a leader. Here’s the trick though. You must believe in your leadership even when things around you start to make you not believe. You must continue on and move forward even when things look murky and cloudy.

Do not believe in the condition. Believe in yourself and have faith in God. You must take leadership action in order to change things and then be patient with yourself even though creditors and billing people may not be so patient. Keep believing in your abilities. You are still a leader! You are still great! Everything is not always going to look right, feel right, and be right. We have to keep pressing forward despite this view.

The Guide To Surviving An Economic Tsunami

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

A real Tsunami or massive flood like the one that hit New Orleans impacts low lying areas first and foremost with complete and total destruction. The same thing holds true for economic tsunamis. The economic kind first rears it’s head and impacts those who are economically and sometimes mentally in low-lying areas.

A real Tsunami or massive flood like the one that hit New Orleans impacts low lying areas first and foremost with complete and total destruction. The same thing holds true for economic tsunamis. The economic kind first rears it’s head and impacts those who are economically and sometimes mentally in low-lying areas.

[picapp src="d/e/b/8/Antonio_Margarito_v_6b17.jpg?adImageId=6636944&imageId=3697922" width="380" height="265" /]

To survive this, we need to move from economic low levels to medium or higher levels up the economic ladder. We must be focused on getting out of low-lying mental areas that will always be destroyed first. To get out of flat areas, you must first be focused on getting out. This means that you cannot become comfortable with the low level. You must recognize that the low level will always get destroyed and it’s only a matter of time before you sit right in the eye of the storm unable to move out of the path of destruction.

The first step is awareness and a non-acceptance of the condition of being in a flat area. The second step is in knowing full well that an economic tsunami will hit. It is only a matter of time. Do not become complacent with this and feel that everything is ok and that you don’t need to get out there. Get out. You must make a plan to get out and move up the economic ladder and improve the life of you and your family.

Now, I know most people are going to say that this is much easier said than done. This is not true. You can get out and move up the ladder. You must be willing to do whatever it takes to do this though. You must be committed to changing yourself and your life. You must be hyper ready for change and you must be prepared to take action right now to move your life out of your present condition.

How To Be A Successful Minority Business

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

Innovation is the foundation of getting paid. No matter what industry that you are in, you need to be innovative in order to stand out from a crowd. When many people are trying to do the exact same thing, the only thing that will make someone stand out in a crowded market is [...]

Innovation is the foundation of getting paid. No matter what industry that you are in, you need to be innovative in order to stand out from a crowd. When many people are trying to do the exact same thing, the only thing that will make someone stand out in a crowded market is your ability to think innovatively and do something totally different.

[picapp src="8/b/a/d/Secretary_Ridge_Signs_00a0.jpg?adImageId=6634921&imageId=3201423" width="380" height="265" /]

All markets are crowded in today’s world. The music industry is crowded with artists who sound alike and who attempt to do the same thing that was successful for the next artist. Teams in The National Football League will see teams get success with a certain type of quarterback, an offense like The Wildcat, or a new defensive scheme, and try to duplicate it exactly to get the same success.

In order to be the one who stands out, you must be the one who creates and innovates the space. If you constantly strive for innovation, you will naturally be a leader. People follow real leaders. People pay great leaders for great work and great leadership. Become the leader and you will undoubtedly have the success that you seek.

Innovation is not only found in technology but most of it is. You can also be innovative with an approach or a strategy to be this leader. This requires new thinking and testing new strategies. Don’t be afraid to branch out and test new stuff and present your ideas to investors. You never know what will become an industry standard.

The Mis-Education of Cash Money

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

The bible and my mother used to say “Money is the root of all evil.” To a certain degree, I believe this because greed and the pursuit of cash money has gotten so many young black brothas and sistahs thrown directly in jail.

The bible and my mother used to say “Money is the root of all evil.” To a certain degree, I believe this because greed and the pursuit of cash money has gotten so many young black brothas and sistahs thrown directly in jail.

[picapp src="3/d/3/1/5_Million_Dollars_1a96.jpg?adImageId=6629060&imageId=4288061" width="380" height="242" /]

Money itself, if used properly, is a great thing. Money can change your life and make life much better and easier. Money attached to good people is great and a great goal to have. Pursuing cash money itself, can get you locked up. I speak to many people in jail in my prisoner outreach program that say that were locked up for pursuing some sort of cash money.

This allowed me to start seeing why my mother used to say that “money is the root of all evil.” I would like to change this and say that greed is the root of all evil. Money is good. Greed is bad and will kill you and all of your dreams. Black people want material items so bad that often times we will do anything to get a watch, a car, some shoes, and some clothes.

This wanting is what leads us on a path of un-righteousness. The images of this cash money done by rappers also leads us directly on this path thinking that because these rappers flaunt it that we now need it just as bad to show that we are powerful just like the rappers are perceived.

Pursuing cash money and walking around with a wad of $100 bills is bad. This is not a good thing. Investing your money is a good thing. Waving hundreds in the air is not what you want to pursue no matter how flashy it looks and feels. The more you wave hundreds in the air, the more people want to take you off the planet and put you in a casket or jail.

The Young Black Guide To Winning

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

Believe it or not, African Americans used to be champions of the world in mathematics. We were so on top of math that we mastered it, built pyramids, and the Greeks would come to Egypt to learn from our masters. When slavery rolled around, people knew that the first thing to take away from people is math and reading if you truly want to conquer them and destroy the mind.

[picapp src="3/b/0/0/USC_v_UCLA_e74b.jpg?adImageId=6625848&imageId=3856771" width="380" height="564" /]

If you want unbridled success, you must harness mathematics and must master Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Calculus. You must welcome business statistics class and both macro and microeconomics courses. Of course it’s not cool to take any of these classes but what we are dealing with is not who looks the coolest but who comes out on top in the end financially.

If you are 14-25, I need you to focus on school. I don’t care what you don’t have or what you have. Every one is equal when it comes to education. The person who will be able to take care of themselves, have their own home and multiple homes is the person who masters certain components of education.

If you have other dreams of music, sports, theatre, film or whatever, that’s cool too. Focus on mathematics and focus on those other creative aspects of your life as well. Mathematics and business will be the subjects, however, that takes you into the future and builds you into a successful entrepreneur or businessperson.

How To Mount A Comeback

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

The key to mounting a comeback when you are down and out lies in not believing in failure. Failure is a natural component to life. Failure is normal. It is not the end. In baseball, you are considered a champion if you fail 7 times out of 10, yet succeed 3 [...]

The key to mounting a comeback when you are down and out lies in not believing in failure. Failure is a natural component to life. Failure is normal. It is not the end. In baseball, you are considered a champion if you fail 7 times out of 10, yet succeed 3 times out of 10 consistently.

[picapp src="3/7/7/2/Tour_of_Ireland_0970.jpg?adImageId=6624551&imageId=6109967" width="380" height="260" /]

The key lies in what you believe about yourself. You must believe in success more than you believe in failing. You must acknowledge the failure but not dwell on the failure and take it for what it is; a deep learning experience. Failure is the opportunity to learn from that mistake and keep pushing forward.

You can comeback as long as you are alive and breathing. You cannot come back if you are dead. Dust yourself off and put your energy into succeeding only. It doesn’t matter where you’re at in your life. You can bounce back if you believe that you can bounce back. It doesn’t matter what your closest friends think. It doesn’t matter what your family thinks about you. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks other than what’s in your mind about you.

If your third eye (minds eye) is blind, you will never be able to see yourself succeeding. You must do whatever it takes to clear this third eye and see yourself as victorious today regardless of circumstances. You must believe in you more than anyone else believes in you.

Successful Entrepreneurs Never Stop

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

The key to becoming a success in your entrepreneurial life is to never stop. An entrepreneur may encounter bumps in the road of life and business life and may even appear to slow down. As soon as the turbulence stops, a true successful businessperson never stops for a minute.
[picapp src="c/e/a/9/39th_NAACP_Image_24d1.jpg?adImageId=6624034&imageId=1509696" width="380" height="579" /]

The key to becoming a success in your entrepreneurial life is to never stop. An entrepreneur may encounter bumps in the road of life and business life and may even appear to slow down. As soon as the turbulence stops, a true successful businessperson never stops for a minute.

[picapp src="c/e/a/9/39th_NAACP_Image_24d1.jpg?adImageId=6624034&imageId=1509696" width="380" height="579" /]

An entrepreneur always drives ahead and moves forward. I’ve seen people broke without a dime still pushing ahead and pushing their products forward. To become a success, you can’t take a day off and slow down. You might have to stop for a minute to re-adjust your plans, play the waiting game, or wait to get stuff done when conditions in the market change. But, this doesn’t mean that you should stop all together. Keep driving and keep moving and success will meet you on that path.

Success does not lie on a dormant and lethargic path of life. It never has and it never will. Success lies on a path where people do things every day. This is why opportunity is always presented to people who are always moving and doing something legitimate, adventurous, exciting, and with integrity. Those people always have the “it” factor and always wind up in something awesome. Why? This is because success lies directly on their life path.

They are not successful because they got lucky. They are successful because they constantly strive to create new opportunities for themselves. Keep creating and opportunity will seek you.

Making Money On The Internet The Slow Way

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

This is what no one wants to hear but I’m going to blog it anyway. Making money on the Internet is about the slow, arduous process of building credibility with an audience who does not know you. How is credibility built? This means hard work, dedication, and a commitment to excellence for your product or service.

[picapp src="7/4/9/f/4th_Annual_Thurgood_b4fd.jpg?adImageId=6622368&imageId=6909347" width="380" height="520" /]

This is also the slow route and the anti-get rich quick mentality that is in almost every email offering that you see. Making money online is really a result of building up a name that people trust by what you say and by your actions. Tweeting all day, either, does not do this.

Offering solid products, solid advice, and solid service to your potential customers to turn them into paying customers does this. Unfortunately, this takes time because the Internet is full of both good and bad spam and con artists. The only way to stand out from the crowd of mischievous Internet scammers is to post relevant, truthful, and timely information to build trust of your patrons.

There is no silver bullet and no magic wand over building your brand and making money online. Even as an affiliate marketer, this too takes time and you need patience to tweak offers and learn the best place to market and sell for a particular product that you are marketing.

How To Create A Millionaire Mind

On 10.25.09, In Entrepreneur, by admin

When I speak to youth and prisoners, I always hear the question “Do you think I can become a millionaire? How?” Yes, I do think that you or anyone else can become a millionaire. Yes, I’m talking to you because I’m talking to me.
[picapp src="8/5/8/a/The_Summer_Fair_7d91.JPG?adImageId=6619779&imageId=5055206" width="380" height="271" /]

When I speak to youth and prisoners, I always hear the question “Do you think I can become a millionaire? How?” Yes, I do think that you or anyone else can become a millionaire. Yes, I’m talking to you because I’m talking to me.

[picapp src="8/5/8/a/The_Summer_Fair_7d91.JPG?adImageId=6619779&imageId=5055206" width="380" height="271" /]

The first step is to understand that millionaire’s have a mindset first and foremost more than anything. A millionaire does not believe there are limits and ceilings to their money and income. I turned down a job for $115,000 per year a few years ago not because I didn’t like the salary but because my money had a ceiling on it and I pitched to the firm attempting to hire me that I wanted to close $3 Million deals regularly and get a percentage of sales. They declined so I declined.

This is the mindset of a millionaire. You will only see value if you can sell something, make a profit, and not have a ceiling on your money. You will take any measure to do this. It doesn’t matter what’s in your pocket today because you are building your wealth program for the future. It’s true secret lies in what’s in your mind. You must also protect your mind and shield it from friends/opponents who do not believe in this mentality.

Gerard Spinks is the CEO of Spinks Industries; a web content developer and online marketing agency based in Atlanta, GA USA. You can get started with a comprehensive marketing plan at http://www.spinksindustries.com.

Most people are programmed to believe in going to work and working for a living. Millionaires are programmed for business. They are programmed to run businesses and make a profit. They are programmed to learn how to do this and take action to make this happen. Yes, you can be a millionaire. Change your mind, change your life.
