When discussing Hispanic businesses, we often picture small, one- or two-man blue-collar operations. Although there is a portion of the entrepreneurial demography that is comprised of solopreneurs and microbusinesses, there’s so much more. In essence, this is an incomplete reality or overgeneralized misconception. I intentionally live to complete the picture and change perceptions by exploring ... [read post]

The fear of failure could be paralyzing, yet without experimenting and risking failure, innovation doesn’t thrive. Playing “it” safe would have never yielded the Model T Ford, the pacemaker or the personal computer. I had the pleasure of participating on the Associated Black Charities’ “Women on Move” panel, discussing what attributes drive “success.” Inspiring words ... [read post]

This was a good week. A really good week. We landed some new clients and submitted a bid for a government contract that can have a tremendous impact on Baltimore. We were invited into a joint venture with a larger contractor. But, even better than that, we placed two young people into professional jobs, changing ... [read post]

Today’s workers are lazy. With very poor work ethic. Always clicking, clicking, clicking on their phones and devices. When will they ever learn how to work? That’s an interesting question and a sentiment we often hear when conducting employee training and professional development. It appears people have forgotten their own developmental journey. After all, we ... [read post]

Over and over I’m asked about loans, regaled with complaints of relationships gone awry — prompting this particular column. Banking doesn’t need to be so complicated and laborious. First, banking is just like dating. You may prefer brunettes, slender, dark skin, short hair, etc. Banks, depending on their current portfolio allocations, have similar preferences for ...

A living legend — fire chief, secretary of the chamber of commerce, umpire, baseball coach and entrepreneur. He once stood toe to toe against a vicious dictator, demanding a fire engine for the southern region of his country, not his own hometown, but for the most central location to benefit the most people. Don Juan, ... [read post]

Influencers. We scoff at the fact that we can be controlled, influenced or otherwise impacted by what others think … Well, 81 percent of us intentionally go online, on Twitter in particular, to validate purchasing decisions, according to Hubspot. Seriously. Case in point: When I purchased my laptop, I simply posted an open question to ... [read post]

In sci-fi shows, we often explore 3rd dimensions and alternate universes — completely fictional and entertaining. Yet, in reality, these other dimensions do exist. Of course, the inhabitants are not three-headed monsters nor zombies, but people. People not in your sphere, or dimension. This month has been a story of juxtapositions for me, hopping between ...

Among the swaying palm trees, ice-cold Presidentes and fried plantains, I found myself working. During a family reunion & vacation, my family was frolicking in the surf of Macao Beach, off the eastern coast of my homeland, the Dominican Republic, while I was working, or rather thinking. [read post]

From sweeping gowns to wage equality, huh? Who knew that the Oscars were a platform for social change? Patricia Arquette received rousing support from JLo and Meryl Streep, among many others, for her wage equality speech. Women earn 77 cents on the dollar, per the 2012 U.S. Census, unchanged since 2007. [read post]

The Gig Economy – nope, it is not science fiction but rather a growing segment of laborers who have inadvertently become entrepreneurs and are spurring the economy. According to new statistics released by the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 30,174 “nonemployer” firms that brought in $1 million to $2,499,999 in 2013. That’s up from 29,494 ... [read post]

The city burned. The fire is banked, yet it simmers. I choose to focus on this created energy to rebuild, restore and flourish. I want a movement -- an Economic Movement. On Tuesday, April 28, I was in downtown Baltimore, intentionally. I saw prayer circles, peaceful protest, a city seeking to restore and rebuild. Neighbor helping neighbor, including our neighbors throughout out the state. businesses calling in, “How can I help?” Yes, a lot of cleanup is occurring, but we need… [read post]

I have been fascinated with the concept of Malcolm Gladwell’s book, “The Outliers,” and the 10,000 hours of practice required to achieve mastery. He attributes success to those who have access earlier to practice their craft, whether playing basketball to an Olympic level, or cello to a first position in an orchestra or achieving success ...

What do you want out of life? Do you want to be happy, content and engaged? At the risk of being a total cliché, it’s time for New Year’s resolutions. Which I don’t make. I find that they are very band-wagonish, jumping on the wave of “weight loss, new you, new life” commercialism we see ... [read post]
