“ BLACKPEOPLE, WE HAVE A PROBLEM “

Today, I want to $peak about a problem in the BLACK COMMUNITY.Just what is this problem, you might ask?Well, the problem is this thing called,” STUDENTLOAN DEBT!" You see, $tudentLoan Debt in America has passed the “ ONE-TRILLION DOLLAR “ Mark(and is still Rising)! Also, $tudentLoan Debt for BLACK $TUDENT$ is 2 to 3 Times Higher than that of White $TUDENT$.Futhermore, The Default Rate on $tudentLoans for BLACK Females is far greater than that of White and BLACK Male $tudents.$o, I guess That is Correct to $ay, “ BLACKPEOPLE WE HAVE A PROBLEM!”

BLACKWALL$TREET “100 YEAR$“ LATER

For those who have forgotten, "2021" Marks The "100th Anniversary" of The Bombing of "BLACKWALL$TREET[ Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahouma ]." To better understand How " BLACKWALL$TREET " got started, You need to go back and Research " THE NATIONAL NEGRO BU$INE$$ LEAGUE " which was Founded, Organised, and Nurtured to Growth by BOOKER T. WA$HINGTON.There us said to have been " OVER 600 CHAPTER$ Of THE NATIONAL NEGRO BU$INE$$ LEAGUE All Across The UNITED $TATE$.Yes, even Madame C.J, Walker was a member! Futhermore, The National Negro Business League was an American organization founded in Boston in 1900 by Booker T. Washington to promote the interests of African-American businesses. The mission and main goal of the National Negro Business League was "to promote the commercial and financial development of the Negro." It was recognized as "composed of negro men and women who have achieved success along business lines". It grew rapidly with 320 chapters in 1905 and more than 600 chapters in 34 states in 1915.

MO$T PARENTS ARE FINANCIAL ILLITERATE

So often in coversation, people suggest that kids should learn about FINANCES from home and their parents. However, the problem with this suggestion is that "OVER 70%" of the PARENTS are "FINANCIAL ILLITERATE!" The situation is Similar to what Carter G Woodson mention in his NEGRO CLASSIC Book, The Miseducation of The Negro when he discussed the problem of Miseducated Negroes " MISEDUCATING " the Other Negroes( the problem only gets worst ). Therefore, to think that Financial Illiterate parents should be teaching financial illiterate kids about money snd finance is totally "RIDICULOUS!"

" GIVE UP THE 👻 GHOST 👻"

As I was reading a book, the thought came to me," You Must Give Up The 👻 Ghost 👻." As I sat wondering what it meant, I suddenly realized how true that thought was.Therefore, I came to the conclusion that it meant that I must " GIVE UP THE 👻 Ghost 👻" of my former self.I need to let go of the OLD Version of me, in order to become the NEW Version of me.Also,I will have to let go of some of my OLD Beliefs and OLD Habits that no longer serve me.And Sadly, I must also let go of some of my OLD friends and associates! So as I begin this NEW YEAR of 2021, I AM " GIVING UP 👻THE GHOST!👻 - garryb

THINKING & GROWING

Hello Tribe,perhaps you have read or at least heard about the sensational self-help book, " Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.If not,I strongly suggest that you get a copy of it today!As I was reading the book,I noticed that behind and in front of " one's thinking " that there is this thing we call "growing." Well, it struck me that one can hardly expect to get rich or wealthy without " growing as well as " thinking.Both are required in obtaining riches and wealth.Also, do not let the title lead you into thinking that this is another get rich quick book.No, this is a book that will help you " reprogram " your mind and your thinking.However, you don't have to take my word, you can get a copy of Think & Grow Rich and read it for yourself.Before I go,I would like to thank you for stopping by and reading my article.Happy New Year to All! Sincerely, Garry O Blanson

" DO NOT CONFUSE YOUR MEANS WITH YOUR ENDS " BY GO BLANSON

Hello Tribe, it has come to my attention that when some people set goals, they often get the " ENDS " confused with the " MEANS!" What do I mean you ask ? Well, some people tend to mix the " MEANS "[ how they can achieve the goal ] to getting what they want, with the " ENDS "(what they really want to achieve. Example : A person wants a new car( the ends ), so they focus on getting two jobs( the means ).In this example, the jobs are clearly the " MEANS," to getting the " ENDS "{ the new vehicle }. You see, when people " CONFUSE " the " ENDS " with the " MEANS," people end up " DO DOING " things that they didn't really have to do.With that being said,before you decide to pursue a goal, I suggest that you do as STEPHEN COVEY suggests and make sure that you " BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND!" When I say " BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND," I mean that you should " VISUALIZE " the outcome( in your mind ). We must " RELEARN " how to turn our " IDEAS " over to our " IMAGINATION " and " SUBCONSCIOUS MIND " to go to " WORKS " on formulating a practical plan that will reveal the proper " MEANS " for achieving the " ENDS " that we WANT ! NOW let's go back to the FIRST goal that you want to achieve.James Fadiman in his wonderful book," BE ALL THAT YOU ARE " said," Before you begin the pursuit of your goal, you should first decide whether or not the goal is your goal or somebody else's goal.Once you decide that the goal is yours, you can go ahead and commit the goal to " WRITING." Someone said, once you are able to " COMMIT YOUR GOAL TO WRITING "( in clear specific terms ),you are half-way to achieving your goal. To help everyone out, here's a link to setting goals using the " S.M.A.R.T. goals format that everyone can " COPY and PASTE " > http://www.hr.virginia.edu/uploads/documents/media/Writing_SMART_Goals.pdf .PLEASE remember to Like my page on FACEBOOK by copying and pasting this Link : https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard , Thanks - garry b
