I Ain’t Mad At Ya

 "Keep Your Competition Close"

I have individuals on the team asking me if I am concerned with so many Black Business groups emerging on social media due to these perilous times. Am I "big mad" being tagged to Black this and Black that. Don't I cringe when I see someone attempt to do what I do?
I say, "hell no". They can never be me. Many don't know I am a 3rd generation business owner with a father owning dry cleaners in midtown Manhattan. If you are not familiar with midtown, it's one of the wealthiest places on the planet. You see my father taught me to never fear competition, having another dry cleaners right across the street from him. He said that competition brought the best out of him as his work surpassed the others. He believed in following the data not the popularity or trends because they fade. He kept competition close even when they would get a little ahead of him. He was early to rise and quick to respond. I welcome competition knowing I am one of the best in the business/promotions game and that soon I will be amongst those serving steaks and elevated from all these business snakes.
Business is about integrity. What you do in the dark will come out of the light. You don't need to be petty, steal clients or do something for ill intentional motives like some do. That also dies and fades away. You always make efforts to collaborate. Walmart has no resentment for Target; same game different strategy. But believe it or not, Dollar General blows both their numbers out the ball park.
This season has me so ampt to be in the game. I am capitalizing on this market place and so should you. You see it should have been this way long ago for Black entrepreneurs. Many won't last because business takes consistency and stamina and popularity eventually fades. Building a business group is not about numbers but productivity of numbers. Some of these groups have 10,000 people with 100 people paying into their productivity. While others have 1000 people all paying $100 monthly and consistently into their productivity and that business net worth is almost a million and a quarter compared to 100,000. I'm not going to throw my education at you business owners, I'm going to execute my education. There is enough room for all of us but numbers don't mean wealth; manipulation of numbers is wealth. Every entrepreneur of Black Line News, find your top 3 competitors and watch as they move. Ask yourself, what is their mission, what are they moving, meaning are their numbers producing dollars and how are you different. This is your business moment from Dearest Price. Agape.🥀
