She was like a crazed Lucille Ball when it came to performing arts. Amazes me how they all get us to buy into/invest in their characters and situations. Great acting!

Which included a brand new Digital SLR and a home studio with lights and back drop. I already owned a home computer and photo editing software. If you do not own those things it will cost you another 2500. Look on ebay, you can get some really awesome deals. Last year it cost me about 3000.00 to start my business.

That information is well wrong and comes from an ignorant perspective. Second, I'd get really clear about what your skills are and what kind of business you want to start. Research should be the foundation of any decision you make in regards to your business. The internet is a great resource for doing this kind of due diligence. Then I'd start looking for opportunities on the web and locally. If you interested in franchises, you can find a bunch of websites that offer information on that. If you're interested in network marketing, the same is true. And there are many other things in between. I'd also strongly consider taking a mentor...someone you know and trust who is successful in business (and especially in the industry/field you're looking to get into, if at all possible). It's helpful to have someone successful to learn from and to emulate. Business has many rewards and many risks. I am a business owner and I understand that because I see it in my own business every day. The best thing I've done is prepare myself for these risks and rewards by buckling down and doing the research and then making the right choices. I'd also recommend that you look into your financial situation as you're making this decision. Businesses need money to get off the ground. Most businesses fail due to a lack of cash flow. This is something to strongly consider & to do additional research on. There are many types of loans and grants available for people starting their own businesses. There are even government grants for this (which do not have to be paid back). I know that I have seen several specifically for African Americans, females, and other minorities/categories/etc. So...in short...figure out your goals, figure out what you're good at and what you want your business centered around, and then study up on it big time! You can be a huge success! Good luck! First, I wouldn't buy into what you were told for one second. That information is well wrong and comes from an ignorant perspective.

My mother feels the same way. When we go into a Black business, if she receives bad service she never returns. When we go into a white business, if she receives bad service she simply complains about it to me, but continues to use the service. Black people need to change the prevailing cultural ideas that hold us back. That's why Obama is such an inspiration to us - he can help to break the mental shackles that we so willingly bind upon ourselves.
