http://www.lasthiredfirstfired.com As the fastest growing segment of the small business economy, women are a major part of the worlds economic sustainability equation. The numbers speak for themselves: There are 10.1 million firms owned by women entrepreneurs in America that employ 13 million people and generate nearly $2,000,000,000,000 (yes, trillion—I wanted you to see all those zeroes!) in sales each year. Thats a lot of wealth, jobs, and economic activity. But, most importantly, thats a lot of hope for the future and promise for the community—why? Because research shows that women entrepreneurs give to the community, special causes, and non-profit organizations at very high levels as—and once—they reach personal economic stability. So, the rising tide of a successful woman-owned business is one that raises many, many ships along with it.
Important work is being done to boost the success and value of todays woman owned business enterprises; in addition, a few organizations—and great parents—are laying the foundation for tomorrows women entrepreneurs by fostering business-mindedness in young girls and teenagers. We talked to two of these organizations on todays show. We also got a heart-warming note from a dad on this topic:
I have a real estate investing business where I buy and hold single family homes and small apartment buildings. I also have a seminar business where I train other professionals with demanding day jobs to do the same.
My oldest daughter is aged 14. For the last two years I have been taking her on appointments to see houses and apartment buildings before I buy them, and on the appointments when I rent them. She was every excited last November when I let her decide which house we would add as our next rental at that time.
She has gone through all of my seminar material and now wants to start her own rental real estate business while shes in high school, which she started yesterday.

Who cares? I’m not suprised their doing another attack piece on black men.

Because its open …
Because its open season on the black family unit and black unity in general. That is the reason you see no focus on the OOW birthrates & why BW keep participating in making them, but only on the so called “Successful” ones who can’t find a man. But you will never hear the brother’s side of the story. Its Jewish media & they have a history of doing underhanded exploitative crap when it comes to us. Malcolm said it. Remember those Black face Minstrel shows? Al Jolson- JEW.

Dude, go see a counselor, talk to a pastor, get some self empowerment books or DVDs, suck it up and try again. Most successful people failed miserably at some point.
Go to this channel lifestyleandfreedom you will find some inspirational videos there.

Don’t hold your …
Don’t hold your breath..giving Kudos to Black men is not part of the agenda. Trust me… you will hear the same “gender disparity ” stuff & shortage of black man, most black men are in prison propaganda drummed into your head over and over from these programs. And they aren’t going to sit a group of BM down & get their vp either..They will just give a voice to the “successful” BW… No spotlight on the young BM who have created EMPIRES- and charitable foundations. NONE

Don’t kill yourself. It’s not that serious. 50% of businesses fail within 5 years.
Not trying to be negative, just saying it happens.

“The War on Boys” by Christina Hoff Sommers… read that book… that will give some insight on why boys in general are falling behind in education… add the history of black men in this country to what she wrote and you will understand why black men are falling behind black women in education.

This series only aided in creating a larger scism between black men and women. Did they ever stop to think that blk women out number blk men in college 7 to 1 b’c in society we out number them 7 to 1?
The media is always trying to start some ish. Why didn’t they talk about the income gap between ww and bw of the same age and educational level?
