Steve Jobs left a legacy, will you?

Steve Jobs' Seven Principles For Success


Innovation is a new way of doing things that results in positive change. -
Steve Jobs
Principle One: Do What You Love.

People with passion can change the world for the better.
It’s very difficult to come up with new, creative, and novel ideas unless you are passionate about moving society forward.

Principle Two: Put a Dent in the Universe. Passion fuels the rocket, but vision directs the rocket to its ultimate destination.

In 1976, Jobs’ vision was to put a computer in the hands of everyday people.
Principle Three: Kick Start Your Brain. Creativity is connecting things, that means seeking inspiration. Jobs found inspiration in a phone book, Zen meditation, visiting India. He uses ideas to inspire his own creativity.

Principle Four: Sell Dreams, Not Products. People who buy Apple products are not “consumers, they're people with hopes, dreams and ambitions. We builds products to help people achieve their dreams and we win their hearts and minds.


Principle Five: Say No to 1,000 Things. I’m as proud of what we don’t do as I am of what we do. From the iPod, the iPad, packaging of Apple’s products, to the Web site. Innovation means eliminating the unnecessary so the necessary may speak.



Principle Six: Create Insanely Great Experiences. The Apple store has become the world’s best retailer by introducing simple innovations any business can adopt to create deeper, more emotional connections with their customers.

Principle Seven: Master the Message.
Steve Jobs is the world’s greatest corporate storyteller, turning product launches into an art form. You can have the most innovative idea in the world, but if you can’t get people excited about it, it doesn’t matter.
What's your message?

Bible vs. Cell

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go... hmm... where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being
Disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you!
If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for
Him, forward this.

93% of the people won't forward this.

NASA, Defense, and Coast Guard Drop Minority Goaling
A recent Eblast from the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) included that Federal minority business programs are silently being eliminated. HUD, under the last administration had achieved 40% of its contracting to minority owned firms. Today, that number is a single digit.

NASA, Defense, Coast Guard, and FEMA recently dropped their minority goaling. According to the Acting Chief Procurement Officer for FEMA, "FEMA did not have small business goals for the recovery of Hurricane Irene and they do not maintain information on the percentage of black businesses receiving Government contracts." However, this is the same FEMA that worked with NBCC members to bring in over $3 billion in contacting after Hurricane Katrina.

The American Small Business League has reached out to the NBCC for help in stopping this legislation and the proposed rule to end the Minority Business Goals at the Department of Defense, NASA, and the Coast Guard. According to the American Small Business League this legislation will prevent job creation.

Parties interested in protesting this ruling, can formally lodge comments in the federal register by going to: https://www.ncmahq.org/NewsPublications/LegAlertDetail.cfm?itemnumber=10488. Written comments need to be submitted to the Regulatory Secretariat at one of the addresses shown on their screen on or before November 8, 2011 to be considered in the formation of the final rule.
For more information, contact Mr. Karlos Morgan, Procurement Analyst, at 202-501-2364 for clarification of content and for information pertaining to status or publication schedules, contact the Regulatory Secretary at 202-501-4755. Make sure you cite "FAR Case 2009-016."

The Self Employment Expo

The Self Employment Expo (www.SelfEmploymentExpo.com)
was recently held at the Oak Lawn Hilton Hotel
9330 S. Cicero Ave on Saturday April 2nd!








It was a bright crispy day and I want to personally say THANK YOU! to all the attendees who came out to the EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM:
How To Get Business Funding Seminar facilitated by
Zelda Robinson of the Higher Learning Network,NFP!



What a wonderful opportunity to have met so many soon to be entrepreneurs as well as businesses/vendors in attendance who really made a difference!

The high rate of unemployment brought many of the attendees out of their
comfort zone, in which this conference was designed especially for them.
It was such an awesome experience to see all the attendees in the class
with so many wonderful start up business ideas, as well as those already
in business!

We so look forward to helping many more!
You can view the seminar online at YOUTUBE!
Simply type in Higher Learning TV Show Self Employment Expo 2011!
Until 2012, here's some photos!
