What do we do with JESUS?

We’ve got so many problems in the world today that many of us believe the only answer for them is prayer.
But I have a question. Who do you believe will answer the prayer?
A Man, a Women, a White Man, a Black Man, a Latino, an Asian, a Native American.
Who do we believe will here and answer our prayers?

Do you really think that black people believe a white man is going to be there for them always and forever. That he will judge them by their deeds and open the doors to Heaven for him to live harmoniously with white people. Or will he seek to maintain power over all the races with policy only he and those like him will demand because they would not be able to live forever equally with others.

There are not too many black people who think that white people will not try like Hell too separate themselves from Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans or anyone else they deem a threat to their lifestyle just because those groups are not white. Sounds familiar.

So, if the answer to the problems is prayer, then too whom do we prey and believe?
So what do we do with JESUS so that we’d want to change our lives and live by his word knowing he will not favor his own kind? Did GOD have a chosen people but yet he made all of mankind? Did GOD favor His Son? Or is it that JESUS was just so great that he could not possibly have been black.

Say Women don’t hold this against me.

I’ve been away for a few days to keep some of the postings at the top of the page. There have been a lot of things going on in the past weeks.
The auto industry is in shambles. The USA is spread out too thin in its war efforts. Nations with people of color is telling the USA that we can’t tell them that they can’t have nuclear technology because they may make a bomb with it. Our educational system doesn’t work for everybody. Our churches are creating wealth for the church at the expense of the poor and needy. Crime is up. The distance between the haves and have-nots is getting wider. The erosion of the middle class is at full steam. Eleven-year-old girls are performing oral sex on groups of boys and men at one time. And the beet goes on.

So what do I talk about?
Women.

Women, this may hurt. YOU MUST STOP HAVING BABIES FOR THESE WORTHLESS MEN. WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU? HAVING BABIES FOR THESE GUYS WILL NOT KEEP HIM AROUND NOR WILL YOU GET ANY MONEY.
DON’T GIVE ME THE EXCUSE THAT IT TAKES TWO TO MAKE A BABY.
LADIES, IT IS YOU AND YOU ALONE THAT HAS THE POWER TO MAKE A MAN A FATHER. ONLY YOU CAN HAVE THE BABY. YOU KNEW BEFOR YOU HAD UNPROTECTED SEX THAT YOU WAS NOT TAKING BIRTH CONTROL.
IF YOU WERE NOT TAKING BIRTH CONTROL AND YOUR MAN WAS NOT GOING TO USE A CONDON, THEN HAVE SEX ANOTHER WAY OR NOT AT ALL. Mistakes happen but not at the rate of so many females having baby after baby by different men or the same man. When that is happing then you are not mature enough too even be engaging in sex.
Ladies, YOU are the one that MUST consent. If you did not consent, then it is RAPE. You can say No. That is why when I here it takes two to make a baby I say yes but it takes one to start the process to make it happen. YOU. STOP!

The world is a tough place today. Your child will not have a fare shake if you don’t have YOUR life together. So get it together. Pay attention to the times. Make your way and know you are on your way to successes before you start your family. And if you chose self employment advertise and “Let Us Mind Your Business”

Revenues for Black-Owned Firms Near $89 Billion,
Number of Businesses Up 45 Percent

Revenues generated by the nation’s 1.2 million black-owned businesses rose 25 percent between 1997 and 2002 to $88.8 billion in 2002, while the number of such firms grew by 45 percent in the same five-year period. This is according to a new report, Survey of Business Owners: Black-Owned Firms: 2002, released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

“It’s encouraging to see not just the number but the sales and receipts of black-owned businesses are growing at such a robust rate, confirming that these firms are among the fastest growing segments of our economy,” said Census Bureau Director Louis Kincannon.
New York had the greatest number of black-owned firms with 129,324, followed by California (112,873), Florida (102,079), Georgia (90,461) and Texas (88,769). These five states accounted for about 44 percent of all black-owned businesses in the United States. Other states with high numbers of black-owned firms include Maryland, Illinois, North Carolina, Michigan, Virginia and Louisiana.

Cook County, with 54,758 black-owned firms, accounted for 80 percent of all black-owned firms in Illinois. Los Angeles County, with 52,674 black-owned firms, accounted for 47 percent of all black-owned firms in California.

These counties were followed by Kings County, N.Y. (37,499); Prince George’s County, Md. (28,389); Miami-Dade County, Fla. (28,359); and Harris County, Texas (27,770).

New York City had more black-owned firms than any other city in the country at 98,076. The city with the second largest number of black-owned businesses was Chicago (39,424), followed by Los Angeles (25,958), Houston (21,226) and Detroit (19,530).

. In 2002, nearly 4-in-10 black-owned firms operated in health care and social assistance, and other services, such as personal services, and repair and maintenance. They owned 9.7 percent of all such businesses in the United States.
· Retail trade, and health care and social assistance services accounted for 28.6 percent of all black-owned business revenue.
· There were 10,727 black-owned firms operating in 2002 with receipts of $1 million or more. Revenue for these firms was about $49 billion, compared to $40 billion in 1997, up 22 percent.

These numbers need to dubble and then tripple just to start.

I was thinking today about solutions that could solve the biggest problem facing black people.
What is the biggest problem facing black people today?

ECONOMICS.

There are just not enough jobs for people who want to work. The separation between the haves and have nots plus the erosion of the middle class because of out sourcing and technology is freighting.
The job market is so fierce that a movement is under way to erase Affirmative Action. If this campaign succeeds, the job market for blacks will be almost nil.

So how do we fix the economics?

EDUCATION.

We must find a way to reach our children so that we maintain their interest too want to learn all they can because they will be able to use the education. Learning must be interesting.
My children learned every Rap song recorded and it wasn’t aloud in my home and after they got home their time was structured. I here small children reciting Rap that can’t read or know their multiplication tables. Children today have grown up issues. Children today are far more advance then yesterday. Test must be taken by educators so that they understand these issues and how to identify them regularly. Successful people from all economic levels in finance and business must come to schools on a regular bases to speak to the children, see where their interest are, and follow up with them. (Parents are invited on those days) Finance should be a must for all grades. We must make entrepreneurs not job seekers. We must make employers not employees. The Superintendent of a school district does not have to be an educator. They should be a Civil Engineer with a degree in Finance and Business and surround themselves with academia.

NEXT.

Stop the Killing and Robberies. How is this done? EDUCATION.

We must find a way to reach our children so

I said that already.

Tomorrow I will show you a table of Black Business in America and the money they generate.

You folks that have businesses already, advertise and “Let Us Mind Your Business”

TARGET ADVERTISING:

There is no shortage of advertising gurus and their various (and often contradictory) "secrets" for success! Some preach that it's your WORDS (aka copy) that are most important. Others claim that all you need are eye-grabbing IMAGES to suck readers into your ad. Some say that cartoon-type ads are most likely to attract attention and rake in the calls. Still others believe that your ad should look and read like an EDITORIAL, not an advertisement. With so many different advertising strategies, what's an advertiser to do?

Successful advertising is all about differentiating your business from numerous competitors. You must do it in a powerful and meaningful way because just "being different" will NOT make your phones ring! While most of the "secrets" of the recent crop of self-styled ad gurus can be used to differentiate your business, none of them will persuade customers to call
or use your service or product.


Why? Because customers don't search ads that stand out; they search them for solutions. Customers search because they don't yet know who to call for a particular need or problem. So while almost any company within any business category has an ad offering their services as a "solution," the customer is still forced to do business with a company they won't know.

For most people, this situation produces a little anxiety. It's why most customes choose to call those specialists with ads that reduce their felt anxiety. Ads that make them feel... "This guy is speaking exactly to my needs, he knows where I'm coming from and he sincerely cares about solving my problem."

So how can you make your ad convey this kind of message to a prospect?
You have to do two things
Speak to your customers' specific, motivating concern in your ad.
Specialize in your customers' specific problem - and say so in your ad!

This is easy strategy to understand, but hard to implement, because to specialize means targeting your ad to only one specialty. If your ad lists 5 or more of your "specialties," then you're not a specialist in the eyes of the prospect! This means you have to consciously direct your message (both content and graphics) to what will feel like a small subsection of your business category. Advertising yourself as a specialist and speaking to your target audiences' motivating concerns will cause your customers to continue the conversation by giving YOU their business. Anything else tends to fall on deaf ears - no matter how eye-catching the ad is.

Here's an example: As I said, I’m a Master Plumber, You're concerned about your water heater; it isn't working well and has started leaking water into your basement. You want to find a plumber. Who will you call, the general all-around plumber, or the "water heater specialist" who has extensive repair experience and, if replacement is needed, can have your new heater installed that very day? Let's say this water-heater specialist even includes an incentive for you to call, and it turned out you needed a new heater, his initial inspection fee would go toward the cost of a brand new heater. Now contrast this with the jack-of-all-trades plumber who lists septic tanks, toilets, water heaters, and ten other "specialties" that he services. Which plumber best speaks to your motivating concern and reduces your anxiety? Which plumber would you be most likely to call?

This is what I did. The name of my plumbing co. was called “Just Water heaters & Sewers.
If you used my company I’d let you pick a free gift from my gift catalog that featured over 3000 gifts that was up to 10% of the total price of your plumbing job. I also did the same thing with another target audience “sewer cleaning”.

I say all of this because onlinebusinesssites.com gives you a chance to specialize and narrow down your target audience with a classified ad that is about the size of a small web page.


It's scary to focus so intently on such a small group of your customers. Having the courage to do so is much harder than paying some guru for a "cartoon-style ad". But a genuine expert will tell you the truth, while casting the widest net possible may feel more comfortable and safe, safe ads won't make your phones ring the way you want them to.

So by all means, develop a unique, benefit-laden headline that speaks to your targeted customers. Use the best eye-popping graphics you can find to help support your headline. And certainly, invest the time and money to come up with the most compelling copy possible. But don't do these things just to catch the eye or to make your ad stand out; use each component to speak to your unique, narrowly-defined customer in a way that will make your phone ring with their business.

Onlinebusinesssites.com can offer you that benefit. But by all means advertise and “Let Us Mind Your Business”
