Introduction
As a person who sets goals, defines a plan of action, and does what it takes to get there, I was told a long time ago that most dreams end up in the graveyard (with the person who had them. I refuse to allow my dreams and the dreams of countless others to end up there. Hello everyone, my name is Ledon, a computer and electronics technician of 15+ years with the ability to diagnose,
fix and repair any issue, hardware, software, electronic, mechanical, and electrical, on any product or device including: computers, laptops, cell phones, tablets, game systems, audio systems, televisions automotives, video equipment and more. I also specialize in graphic design, web design, decorating, painting, airbrushing, stenciling and detailing. I've used my skills in the past to start, work for, run and manage other businesses, companies, corporations, organizations, and individuals and help establish and develop their brands within their respective markets. Almost a year ago i begn taking the steps and chances as an individual, to market and establish my skillsets and abilities as an individual and form them into not only a viable business, but a company www.atlcustoms.com. Taking this steps as an entrepreneur and visionary I've faced may hardships, setbacks and times of discouragement. Many of which all boils down to financing. Over this past weekend Televangelist/Pastor Creflo Dollar posted a video and plea on his site asking members, partners and supporters of this ministry to assist in acquiring a Gulfstream G650 private jet with a purchase cost of over $60 million dollars . I will with-hold majority of my opinion on this matter but what I will say is: If Pastor Creflo Dollar believes that there is $60 million plus is assets to purchase, and fund the costs of a luxury private jet; then there is funding available for small black owned businesses, entrepreneurs and developers to grow their businesses. The main pitfall of many black owned businesses is the lack of finances. Some of whom an extra $50 to buy business cards, or ink for their printers would greatly increase their ability to market and produce product or services that will net customer growth and profit on a simple $50 investment into their business. imagine what $1000, or $2500 could do. I personally have experienced and witnessed the struggle and hardships of entrepreneurship. Days when you are hungry but all you have is $20 to your name, ad you have to choose between do I need to eat? or do I need to use this last $20 and purchase advertising or product and hopefully by then end of the day I'll come out with somethind to eat. Days where its profitable, but days when you make absolutely nothing, which means you've lost money after the time and resources put into a full days work. I've witnessed some (and done it myself) come down so farin the value of their products of services because they literally had nothing in their pocket, and just to be able to make something to feed themselves or their families was all that mattered at that point. They give up on their dreams and they end up in the graveyard with them. What I'm Asking
As I stated before if Pastor Creflo Dollar believes that there is $60 million plus is assets to purchase, and fund the costs of a luxury private jet; then there is funding available for small black owned businesses, entrepreneurs and developers to develop and grow their businesses. An if he has the boldness and audacity to ask, then so do I. I've taken the time and steps over the weekend to procure the web domains www.bobfunding.com, www.bonfunding.net and www.blackbusinessfunding.com . I will use these domains to build a site which will host a network of black business owners, developers and entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, investors, and those wanting to donate to the growth and development of black owned business in order to unite them in assisting in the development and growth of their business ventures. I'm not asking the community to give $65 million (if it's available then go right ahead and give it). But what I am asking is that if you believe in the vision of your black business owners, entreprenuers, and their success; then invest in them. Many of them fight through the stuggle and opposition they face in order to develop into the brands they want to become. And they embrace it. They embrace the struggle knowing that although "the struggle is real" so is the the dream, and with the right time, resources and dedication these dreams can become a reality. I'm asking you support and help fund someone's dream. The Impact
With any donations and investments you make you will not only be assisting in building and funding the development of the B.O.B. Funding network, but you will also be helping black entreprenuers and business owners grow and and develop into household brands. We don't even have Beats headphones anymore because they were sold to Apple inc. Other Ways You Can Help
Any kind of word of mouth promotion, not only for the campaign, but for any black owned business or entrepreneur will drive resources into those businesses that can lead to development and growth
Also getting with these business owners and developers to see what need they have. Maybe there's items that can be donated to them that would help as well.
