Product Description
Product Description
An entrepreneur is defined as a person who organizes, manages, and assumes responsibility for a business or other enterprise. There are those in life who are called to lead and there are those who are called to follow. The word that sits above defines those of us who have chosen to answer the call and lead. Just as Moses chose to answer the call of the burning bush, and David received the calling of being King, we entrepreneurs of the 21st century have chosen to build our visions. What I have chosen to do in the pages that follow is to highlight some entrepreneurs who have taken the mantle that has been passed to them and to carve their names in the history of business and industry.
Entrepreneurship is not something that should be entered into lightly. The task that comes with entrepreneurship is very demanding. If it were easy then everyone would be doing it. In our society today so much emphasis is placed on the negative aspect of business. We hear, on a daily basis, the corrupt and the detrimental side of businesses today. The newspapers, radio, and television, are filled with stories of business owners who seem to have gone over to the dark side of business and industry. What would make someone in this day and time want to take on the risk of starting and having their own business when over half of businesses fail within the first five years? What makes these businessmen and women that you will meet in the next few chapters stand out from others?
So much emphasis is given to the music, sports, and entertainment industries that I wanted to show that there are many of us who do business in many other industries and are successful. There is nothing wrong with being in music, sports or entertainment, but we must understand that we can do and be so much more. We must begin to understand the importance of economic leverage in this day and time. If we are ever to move forward in our society and communities then we must begin to change our way of thinking. There must be a paradigm shift in our mentality. In the next few pages and chapters you will meet entrepreneurs who are in different industries and have had different journey s that took them to where they are today. Their success is not measured by their profit & loss statements. Nor is their success measured by the cars they drive or the houses they live in, but their success can be measured by the visions they have fulfilled and the calling that they have chosen to answer.
These Young & Gifted individuals have become a part of an exclusive club that not too many want to take the risk and be privy to. They have chosen to be a part of the doing generation and not the talking generation. Their legacies will be memorable and will be a part of our society for what we hope will be years to come. In highlighting this New Generation I hope that they will show that the way we do business in the new age is impactful, inspiring and provocative. Each and every one of these entrepreneurs has imparted to me something that will forever stay with me. They have given me their backgrounds, insights, and experiences, that I hope to shared with you. Their stories are one that I felt should be told and shared with others so that we can begin to change our way of thinking. Welcome to the 21st century way of entrepreneurship. This is the way we do it!! Meet the Young & Gifted, The New Generation of Entrepreneurs !!
