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.
