AMERICA VS CANADA

I had never heard of something called The Index of Economic Freedom until recently. The 2010 edition of this index published by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal tells me that Canada, our frozen neighbor to the north is now economically freer than the United States! That was a head turning surprise to me. I thought that being born in America and living in California placed me in the spacious corner office of the headquarters for economic freedom.

BEST OF THE BOWL

Whatever the Super Bowl represents to die hard football fans, it also is one of the largest gatherings of American business people each year. In addition to being a schmooze fest in a warm weather location, I feel it is a celebration of “the best” that can be inspiring to small business owners as well.

I haven’t been to a football game since Al Davis’ Raiders left Los Angeles to return to Oakland, which lets you know that on a scale of 10, my fan level is at about 4. When the raiders were the local LA team, I was attracted to their positioning slogan which was “commitment to excellence.”

Your blog extolling the virtues of The Best & The Brightest (and the bad rap of Elitist thereby attached) is another in a series I've come to expect from you: well reasoned and pointed in the direction of Excellence.

Great inspiring show; I wish there was more info on acquiring start up capital for new minority businesses. If someone has suggestions, we would surely want to hear from you. Thanks!
- Michelle/Ron Ellis

Thanks for the compliment to our Making It show. Start up capital is always challenging for all genders and ethnicity! Begin now to make friends with your banker and I recommend that you visit a Small Business Administration office or their web site to learn more about access to capital.

Personal savings, help from friends, using home equity and customer financing are the most frequent sources of money for start up.

-Nelson Davis,
Executive Producer

Michelle and Ron: I would also suggest that you become certified through your local NMSDC Council and begin networking w/in those channels. There are many new hybrid financing opportunities and SBA-type lending available for minority businesses. These opportunities are expanding. Best Regards.
