Prime Minster David Cameron: a crazy mindset
On bended knees the Prime Minister says: "I am
awestruck by the work that so many survivors do teaching our young people about
the Holocaust. We must ensure that the memory and the lessons of the Holocaust
are never forgotten.”
However this same White Prime Minster says to majority Black
population Jamaica:
“But I do hope that, as friends who have gone through so
much together since those darkest of times, we can move on from this painful
legacy and continue to build for the future.”

Jews are allowed to remember their World War two holocaust.
Should Black Jamaica forget their holocaust?
The middle passage, where millions of Blacks died is also a holocaust.
This goes to show you that the more things change, the more
they stay the same. The sun never sets on the British Empire was the old saying, for
England. They went all over the world colonizing and exploiting people and we
should forget it? Jamaican land and people made this European island rich. Jamaicans
shall and must go to England to get back some of what the British stole.
Should we forget slavery, discrimination, exploitation and marginalization?
Cameron offers to build Jamaica a new jail for Jamaican who commits crimes in
the UK. Jamaica is not Australia, which is why that penal colony was created. Keep
your jail fund and give us reparations. Jamaicans need schools with a strong
STEM foundation so that our youth can compete on the world stage; healthcare
facilities, sustainable land use and entrepreneur support for our farmers.
Say no to the jail Prime Minister Simpson- Miller or else
election time will send you packing like what happened to Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar
of Trinidad. She may have been the first female Prime Minister for Trinidad but
her constituency let her know what time it was when she did not support
Trinidad interest.

Want to Be an Entrepreneur – Do these four things before you quit your job
By Dr. Sinclair Grey III
Let’s face it – there are many people who aspire to be an
entrepreneur. With the idea of running your own business, establishing your own
rules, and creating a legacy to leave behind, it’s very tempting to drop the traditional
nine-to-five. Even though being your own business is rewarding, there are some
things you need to do before quitting your job.
According to an article in Entrepreneur, here are four
things you need to consider:
1. “Make Sure Your Idea Is Viable.” People come up with
ideas every day. The question is whether your idea is viable? “Do some market
research. Look at your potential competition and see if they’re doing anything
similar. See if anyone has tried this in the past, and if they failed, why they
failed. Sketch out a financial model if you have to. The more in-depth you go
the better.”
2. “Prepare For The Realities of Entrepreneurship.” While
being your own boss is exciting and rewarding, the truth of the matter is that
it’s hard. Start-up companies such as Facebook and Uber have proven what can be
done with a great idea. However, what isn’t discussed is the research done to
become successful. In fact, most businesses that start will end up failing. The
best thing to do is read, read, and read about the reality of entrepreneurship.
3. “Establish A Personal Financial Plan.” Deciding to become
an entrepreneur means your guaranteed income you were receiving from your job
will disappear. That’s why you need to budget for this venture. “Take a look at
exactly how much money you need to continue your current lifestyle and how much
money you have. Can your savings totally sustain you for a year or more? What
backup options do you have if you do run out of money?”
4. “Talk to people.” Consult with those close to you such as
family and close friends. Even though you’re the one making the decision, it’s
important to gain the advice of those close to you.

How do entrepreneurs become wealthy?
Wealth is acquired in many ways. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur,
who are the role models? Your mentors should inspire you positively? When you
study them, watch and observe their mindset.
Answer these questions:
1. What
problem are you able to solve?
2. Name
the niche you are trying to tap?
3. Can
you produce a product or product line that you can share?
4. How
is the public learning about your product or service? Name your marketing
strategies.
5. Don’t
consider selling but sharing for a price. What is your price and it does not
mean money.
