I think in a Recession laced society, the best focus is to think "out of the box." A new approach to old ideas make change. It is in this line of focus that will be to vehicle to drive in prosperity during these trying times. I find that improper focus, lack of faith, and determination can be your worst enemies. <BR/>Case in point:<BR/>OBAMA's Inauguration was a sure thing after November 4th, 2008. One guy, self employed, had a vision, a focus. He focused on obtaining a copy right for bobble head OBAMA dolls. He secured a Washington D.C. vendor license. And today, he made $200,000 in one day, selling those cheap metal, bobble head dolls. A $1.50 -$2.00 trinket that many supporters in Washington D.C. would and could be willing to part with in order to have a part of history. This man is just one story, one focus, one determination, one belief, that his efforts would win the day. Now hopefully, this man will use his money wisely, but prior to this, he had no income, a man who was not able to support his wife. It is easy for one to judge another, to evaluate another one's shoes, even a spouse. And the road to utilizing these tools are sometimes marred by doubt, indecision, fear, and depression. But the real fight is keeping these negatives out of your head, out of your thinking, and standing strong. It is casting our net upon the waters and knowing that soon it will produce a fish. It is gently reminding the spouse that support is patience and belief that GOD will guide the way for you both. It is knowing that storms do not last always, and as it rains, the sun does shine again. And it is simply pitching in with a fresh look, cooking, and sometime a surprise foot rub to iron out her frustrations as well. <BR/>You are on the right path, and just as the water dripping on a rock will make its wear on that rock after time, the constant and consistent tools of faith, focus, determination and belief, will melt the rock away.READMEWELLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759642626930487439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276753567781285837.post-45320977645317018632009-01-07T12:32:00.000-05:002009-01-07T12:32:00.000-05:00I love this movement and I am jumping off the band...I love this movement and I am jumping off the bandwagon of keeping up with the illusion of the "Jones" and begin focusing on a healthy, financial state of wealth for myself and my children. I need help, because I am starting from scratch, because of all the mistakes I made in my past. I need to be properly educated, rehabilitated to the new way of thinking that will create generational wealth. Not what the school system forced on me, but what will shape my future to be a leader and not just a worker creating wealth for someone else. I also desire this for my children so they will not become victims of financial ignorance. We as Black Americans need to be totally honest about our situations to get the help me need. I appreciate this so much.
