A hand up.
What didn’t work for me was too small. What did work can be duplicated.
Enterprising kids reach for the guns, regardless of the cost. So, we are leading by example with a hand up to demonstrate what character looks like? What the willingness to work hard and never give up looks like. A new cycle where new opportunities flourish. One, where we do what’s right.
Proof of Concept…
The OG. Ground zero. I don’t care what you call it, but you should have seen his face when I handed him the keys to his new home and business. He has passed the test. Learning how to manage cash flow correctly, and leverage an asset. As a landlord able to market and maintain his property and watch his net worth grow. Rescuing and taking care of a dog, a true leader. The Patriarch of his family, positioned with an opportunity to teach what real opportunity and responsibility looks like. I’ve never known someone so deserving and having paid such a high price…
This idea will multiply leading to a wealth of opportunities from young people wanting to seek out and learn a trade to wanting to serve their own communities. Creating the desire to want to step into professional opportunities like engineering or architecture. Home ownership. An endless pathway to prosperity. Our difference is giving disenfranchised people permission to shine their light. Our difference is positioning them so they have the freedom to create with their own ideas. Think agriculture. A seed is planted. It grows deep. Then it blossoms into something beautiful. This is not about lining up for handouts. That system is already in place. This is a new cycle, an organic creation of activities that grow into new ones. Watch what happens by shining the light!
