    12 years ago today...

    ...I left the security of a good job--to start a business.

    Maybe one of the best decisions I have made.

    It is far from being easy, but the overall advantages are the payoff.

    I encourage those of you who can afford to take the risk.... to do so.

    There is no better investment than in one-self .
    The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough

    Congrats on the milestone HL. Wealth building is not an easy thing for those people who have to start from "scratch". Lots of sacrifices and nothing is guaranteed.

    Wishing you even greater success in the next 12!

                  Continued success HL. Many talk about it but you are living it. By doing what you are doing you are already successful. Good to know Marcus' words were not and could never be in vain. Congratulations.

                    Rudi: I think of Marcus Garvey quite frequently--especially his economic achievements. The one that impacts me the most is his acquisition of a shipping company........................................... ............!

                    When you consider the time that Garvey accomplished this...it makes it more poignant..............

                    There is no Black person (that I know of) who owns a commercial fleet of ships. Maybe I need to research this some more.

                    Thanks all for the felicitations.

                    The future hope is to continue for 1 or 2 more years--then sell lock, stock and barrel.

                    Need to start taking it easy.

                      Congrats HL, I know, self-employment is no easy task. The good times are sweet, but the true test comes during the harshest times. Gwaan trod along.

                          There is a Nigerian oil mogul (oligarch?) who also owns or owned a fleet of ships. That's the only one that I can think of.

                          That Garvey did it when and where he did is truly remarkable.
