Identify yourself
here: 40 organizations/corporations of
community AND business minded people reflective of that community with
capitalistic leanings open up 40 different businesses in one forlorn area (1 or
2 blks) of town; South Shore, Englewood, North Lawndale, etc… within a 6 month
timeframe. TRAIN & employ members of
that same community of how 2 operate your business and how 2 work effectively
with your customers. Serve that community with things they need and want like real sit-down restaurants, bookstores,
healthier grocers, decent entertainment businesses, whatever. Pay your employees a livable wage and connect with your fellow business owners quarterly
2 insure that all of U R moving ahead accordingly.
This is no experiment. What we will C is that U all have
provided 4 the well-being of that community which will in turn boost your profits,
provided 4 your business’ fiscal and personal security and made your operation
indispensible. Y not build your wealth while legitimately serving your
community with INTEGRITY; something that has been lacking N business,
entertainment, civil rights and government 4 decades. What U will have shared
with that community is an increase in property value and employment close 2
their homes and children. U’ve allowed the people something 2 B proud of and a
way 2 provide 4 their own food, shelter and clothing. U’ve given the
community’s children something 2 C everyday 2 aspire 2 and given them a reason
Y they go 2 school. U have transformed
the landscape from dilapidation and poverty to an operating business district.
Beauty begets beauty. The hood becomes a community and rises 2 your level but
it happens because of the coordinated efforts of 40 business minded
people/organizations that moved at the same time. Is that so hard? Is that really that
difficult?
I know tons of people right now who want 2 launch or expand
a business. All I’m saying is let’s do
it N one area which strengthens our success.
Consider established examples like the South Loop and Wicker Park and
what they were not so long ago. Consider
downtown Chicago where there R thousands of successful business atop of each
other. There people work, play and live in a certain prosperity. We can have more profound say of what happens
in our city (& world) but it
comes by operating on a financially and socially higher level and that’s done
by building businesses for, with and around our people. This can B done regardless of political, religious
or philosophical adherence. All U got 2 have N common is a need 2 do business
and 2 do it with high standards, PERIOD.
Push out the hood liquor stores that R breeding grounds 4
crime and foolishness. Push out the saturation of churches that’s keeping the
people on their knees but not providing 4 their everyday needs. Train and hire those same thugs, hoods and ex
cons 2 operate your business which takes them away from crime with an
opportunity 2 live a legit life providing 4 their families and they will honor
that (the vast majority anyway).
Those that need 2 read this probably won’t get it from me but
if U never share another thing I write, share this. Forward it 2 every hood,
thug, whoe, social leech & rat U know.
Many of our politicians and so-called community leaders R exactly those
things right now. Y should success stop
with them? Forward it 2 the educated,
the community minded, the aspiring activists and those who’ve got wishes to C
this prevailing violence go away. Let’s
get it started. A lot of U already
desired or prayed 4 this. Now it’s time 4 action. Holla at me.
I will connect the 40 and then maybe next year it won’t B so hot.
