According to the National Black Business Trade Association (NBBTA). There are millions

Feb. 13, 2009 - PRLog -- There are millions of dollars available to Black Businesses for entrepreneurial ideas.

The National Black Business Trade Association (NBBTA) is heading a campaign to help make the world more aware of the significance of Black business ownership. According to the association, more attention needs to be paid to the impact Black entrepreneurship has on every aspect of mainstream society.

NBBTA believes entrepreneurship and equity participation are the keys to economic empowerment for Black America.

Look at the trends. Hip-Hop stars have moved up into fashion, restaurants, nightclubs, beverages and other enterprises. Former sports players are leaders in the steel industry and athletic sportswear and sport franchises. They own coffee shops, movie theaters, eateries and auto part plants. They used what they had to leverage themselves to other ventures. They are going from the streets to the suites.

According to Association experts, media focuses too much attention on just the musical or athletic aspect of Black talent. The real genius is that some of these "playas" are natural entrepreneurs. NBBTA believes that we need to study and emulate that positive behavior pattern. Entrepreneurs are our "real heroes" and more of us have the potential to become one, than be seen on BET or play for the NBA or NFL.

Keep in mind too, that these "stars" success is due in part to initial support they received from the Black community. By leveraging their popularity in music and sports many were able to draw upon that "entrepreneurial spirit" and open new doors of opportunity to increase their incomes. Hopefully, many are also doing positive things with that income to create wealth.

Black entrepreneurs everywhere are now recognizing what so many others have recognized for years ... that there's lot's of money available to support any entrepreneurial ideas.

Where is it?... you ask?

The money is within the Black community. According to Lee Green, Chairman of the National Black Business Trade Association (NBBTA), "African Americans have over 900 billion dollars available to spend. Unfortunately, because the major of us have no equity positions in business or real estate, 80% of that money is spent on bills we create. The rest is spent on retail items outside our community. The most we spend with Black business is only 6-7%. Today, with the lack of "consciousness", its usually much less. That is a major problem". He goes on to say, "that means 93%-94% of the money that Black people earn (income) and have some control over is being spent with someone else (outgo). Some other ethnic (self-interest) group, that doesn't necessarily look like me, or have my best interest at heart, gets all the benefit of our cashflow."

NBBTA is seeking to recycle those "Black" dollars. Their belief is that the benefit will be better schools, better homes, higher paying jobs for those seeking employment, smarter children, better vacations, nicer cars, larger savings accounts, substantial investments, greater retirement options, better health, longer life, more political clout, greater worldwide respect, meaningful relationships, etc. This is not a new concept. It is one that has been in existence for many years starting with Marcus Garvey in the 1920's and which continued into the 1960's with Elijah Muhammad.

The idea is to help get more of those dollars spent with Black businesses and entrepreneurs within the communities BEFORE any of that money has to leave.

Dwight McKee, NBBTA director says, "other ethnic groups spend money with THEMSELVES between 3 - 4 times before their dollars leave their community. Black people only 1/2 a time. There's something wrong with that picture. Let's do something simple about it and build up from there. It doesn't have to be complicated to get started. Just do it!" HERE'S THE CONCEPT:

Do you need MONEY? For your business, child's education, retirement, a new home, medical expenses, etc,? Do you want to help with our cause?

Let the National Black Business Trade Association (NBBTA) be your business partner and put some money back into your pocket in exchange for helping us increase awareness of Black businesses.

NBBTA started in September, 1993 and its aim is to build the largest and most effective Black business networking organization ever established on the face of the earth.

How are they going to do that? By networking, designing systems and strategies, enhancing their relationships, organizing capital, redirecting their focus, attention and intention to things that will provoke business owners and entrepreneurs worldwide to action. And by providing them with the tools they need to realize their full potential. This in turn will give them the ability to compete for increased client base and market share and open up new business opportunities both inside and outside of our community.

The "Black Business Awareness Drive" and the "Black Business Builders Club" project will go a long way in making people aware of the importance of buying from Black businesses.

According to the US Small Business Administration (SBA), there are over 945,000 Black businesses in the United States. We know that thousands of these Black business owners and entrepreneurs would benefit by joining us. We have only reached 5% of the market. NBBTA's goal is to be able to reach 15%-20% or more, but we need your help.

Green states, "we could spend lots of money advertising our program, but as we all know, the best form of advertising is word-of-mouth. Your helping us spread the word will make our job easier in continuing to negotiate affordable benefits that will attract even more new members. As the membership grows we will be using major media to promote the ideals of Entrepreneurship and Business Ownership."

Member gets involved, they will also be motivated to tell others to join us as well. This is a simple way to "recycle Black dollars".

NBBTA has developed its "Re-Affirmative Action Plan" (R.E.A.P.) to pay out a total of $10 to those members interested in helping us build this organization. While on the surface that may not seem like a lot, but when coupled with their power of the "2-Up" R.E.A.P. compensation plan, members can earn significant income in the process that can go a long way towards funding their personal goals and dreams.

NBBTA assures us that they make no guarantees of earnings, but that their marketing plan was designed to make it possible for even the busiest entrepreneur to earn a sizable extra income each month with very little effort. And its not limited to just Black people. Actually, anyone interested in supporting or promoting Black economic development is invited to participate.



McKee noted, "It has been said that there is strength in numbers. So, if our businesses are going to survive and grow we are going to have to work at better organizing ourselves ... just like every other "self-interest" group in America has had to learn to organize themselves. No one is going to do that for us. We must organize ourselves."

Green agreed, "In fact, until the Black business community in this country is more representative of our total population (at least 12%), not much for our people will change. We can help provide solutions to most major problems with more money."

Green concludes, "think about it. You probably come into contact with other Black business owners, entrepreneurs and those with an interest in business practically every day online ... at work, in stores, at social or networking events and even at church.
