falling apart, parents fighting, teens killing teens, drugs on sale,
drug dealers murdering each other, domestic violence, home invasion,
rape, uneducated children and the community is going to hell in a hang
basket, where do you go for help?

organizations that actually care and want to assist and give back to
restore the community they once knew. We are looking for you, wanting
you to reach out to us, assist in the restoration of life and putting
spirit back into the streets of our neighborhoods.

Planning is
both part of our social and business lives and effectively managing your
valuable time is of the utmost importance.
Today, we use digital diaries, calendars and of course, all on our smart
mobile phone. The appointments that you
make are walking around with you and the electronic reminders keep us in-touch
and on time.
You can
make the appointment and plan what that meeting is to be about and what you
want to achieve. If it is a one on one meeting, you have the
opportunity to control the content and guide the outcome. In some respects, it depends on your character
and the acceptance, in business, of the other party’s reception of you.
If you, and
a team are meeting with a potential client, there enters the massive variables
of conversation and how you are now just one of a group, guiding your client to
the desired outcome for all. Difficult,
when the script is among your team and you have free flow input from your
client, he or she may have just page one of the script, but, the final scene,
has never been rehearsed or finalized.
The team
has the pre-planned goal, with individual overtones and the client is having to
listen to different people, voices, personalities and all within a time
constraint. The clock is ticking and so
it should, the time window of opportunity is ever diminishing and the structure
for completion on time and target for all parties is vital.
How often
do you have day of appointments with three different clients, all on the same
subject, but from different perspectives and keep on track, on time and on
point? I know, a long question, but why
I bring it up is simple, I am proud to be part of a winning and successful team
that provides services and solutions that are second to none and serve our
clients and potential clients in a most professional cohesive manner.
We have two
ears and one mouth and listening to your client’s situations, what keeps them
in a business sense, up at night, is
so important for both of you. When there
are five in the room and one a speaker phone, it is not the most conducive environment
and in many cases, doomed to fail. Not in
our case, I was pleased and proud to be one among the team and have respect for
all in the room.
Meeting
people for the first time is not easy and the key is simple, be you, listen and
importantly respect the time window you have.
Sure, traffic can play a part on being on time, use the phone and call
if you know you are running behind and stopping for all traffic lights. That is respect to the potential client.
So
yesterday was one of those days, a great day for all concerned, our team and
potential clients, as we have respect for all and their input to allow us to
provide the solutions in a more than amicable way.
I plan for
days like this every day and it is the initial connection and follow through
that makes the difference.
Thank you
team, and thanks to our folks we meet with...
together we can make that important difference.
WE are in the NOW and KEEP YOU; in the KNOW...

Run-down,
dilapidated, crime-infested and drug-ridden are descriptors that homeowners
typically avoid attaching to their neighborhoods — unless those terms describe
what the area was like before its revitalization.
Wait a
second! What revitalization? Our neighborhoods are going to hell in a hang basket!
Have you
driven around your city, I mean places you have never been or seen before? We just did and wow! Houses boarded up, seedy folks hanging on the
only house left on the block, if you can call it house, on a street with folks
hanging on street corners, which look like they just dropped in from a scene
from Escape from New York.
Seeing a
neighborhood fall apart in front of your eyes, never happens, it is like, now
you see, now you don’t. Like driving to
work the same way each day, you miss the construction of a tall building,
until, you stop in traffic at a place you have never stopped before, turn, and
see this monstrosity that seems to have appeared from nowhere, right in front
of your eyes. You know the feeling…
So what has
happened to a country that had it all?
What are we, a third world country?
Do we need to go to the United Nations and ask for aid? It sure looks that way! No disrespect to Third World countries, at
least you are moving forward and this nation has taken an almighty drop…
I look at
pictures of Africa, Syria, Haiti, and Cuba, blinking and cursing under my
breath on what I am seeing and feeling on their situation. I have walked the
streets of London, I grew up there, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Liberia, smelled the
poverty, kicked the trash and looked in the eyes of hopeless people, knowing
back then, that we, in America, had never had it so good. How wrong I was! Today, just look at us! How can we just continue as if nothing is wrong?
Detroit is broke! It has nothing but people who live day to
day, children who have no future if the family stays. Then again, where do you go, when you have no
money for the bus, if it is still running?
The Michigan
governor has brought in a financial manger to assist in finding out what has
gone wrong and how it can be saved. Do what?
A bit late, when your own administration has run it into the
ground. Once the King of the Automobile industry
is up on blocks and the body has been stripped of all that was worth saving. Who is next on the list? Have you looked out the window lately?
The news
tells us each day of the violence, sexual and domestic abuse, crime and the death
of another teen or someone in a home invasion.
It will take education, intervention, employment opportunities and a real jolt of reality which is not going
to happen, unless the community and neighborhood roll up their sleeves and can
see the path out of their pitiful existence.
So what are
you going to do? Sitting there drinking your Latte, in a sterile
Starbucks, among others who choose to ignore the blight that is all around
you.
I am not!
I am a doer, like the city I
live in and cities around me that have a vision, an achievable vision and daily,
work on all the aspects of running a business.
Communities are a business and so are the people within those
communities and they cannot be left to their own devices. Cities and municipalities
have the citizens as their clients and must serve them to the best of their
abilities. Those that wish to continue,
the “them and us syndrome”, you will
be left by the wayside, only to be found by our future anthropologists and historians
in the big book of failure. Examples of
how not live your life and to be a dis-service to your fellow man, woman and
child.
You see, we
are seeing the results of the entitlement
generations that is firmly entrenched in their DNA. This is the government assistanceprogramites. A sickness that has been left to fester and
placed on the bottom of the list of
things to do.
We do not
need mouth pieces who only come out when the television news cameras are
rolling and go back to study their books and just prayer for action. We need and require people who have a conscious
and the will to be part of the biggest change America needs right now.
It is about pro-activity, not delayed reactionary failure.
So are we
going to write it off or pick-up the pieces?
I know
where I stand and the effort I am placing on picking up the pieces…
