(NNPA)—I will be 67 years old next month. For nearly half of those years my wife, Kay, and I have been stand-alone entrepreneurs. Times can be bad, good, great and catastrophic, depending on how you look at it. For us, 2014 will go down as a very good year. Challenging, yet rewarding in regards to the upcoming prospects.
Our twin sons presented us with their first post graduate degrees. Thomas received his Masters in Communication Management from the University of Southern California (mighty Trojans). Harry brought home his Masters in Sports Management from Georgetown University. They immediately kept the pace up. Harry is in the MBA program for Babson University while Thomas is enrolled in the MBA program at John Hopkins University. They also successfully completed the sale of their first business venture, Lacrosse Playground. Side money is now coming from their individual consulting service. They are fast becoming the best investment Kay and I have ever made together. I see this bundle of “tools” being applied to the growth of the National Black Chamber of Commerce.
Procurement activity among our members has taken off with lightning speed. Central and South America have been the most active. Liquid Nitrogen Gas stations are up and running in Colombia. Solar heating farms now exist in El Salvador. A gold mine has been commissioned in Surinam by NBCC members from Maryland, Mississippi, Colombia and principles in Spain. Deep Water Port activity is now taking place in Nigeria, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. An actual resort city is in the planning stages in Ghana.
