In my last post I talked about western belief systems. This post will remind us that these systems are responsible for our day to day behaviors. Yet, I have not forgotten the entrepreneur who needs a solid basis to begin on. But how can anyone begin on a solid footing if our beliefs are tainted by half-truths and mis-truths? We understand who we are as we understand who we are spiritually.
A entrepreneur can obtain solid footing with the proper mobility and resources. Mobility to move within different levels of society and resources to cultivate and create as needed for the community. The New York Times provides ten reasons why businesses fail. However what I refer to is a need for a mental fortitude instilled through balance and a proper spiritual reflection of oneself. The ten reasons the above article cites comes after a untainted spiritual understanding.
As I look at my own life and talk with people, it is becoming clear that our religions do not have balanced outlets for us to internalize what is happening externally to us. More of us should be able to become successful entrepreneurs. So, why is it that with our intelligence and abilities we are not more successful? Is it because of internal inaptitude or external manipulation? Is a black or African consciousness any less than any other belief system? Why can’t you make the next move? Is it because of what you believe or what you have been told?
