I'm not saying you have to do everything they say. You don't even have to agree with how they ran (or continue to run) their companies.
However, it is a very good idea to at least listen to some of the Black entrepreneurs who have made it. Bob Johnson is one of them (see video below). Farrah Gray is another. Others include: Oprah Winfrey, Madame C.J. Walker, Ephren Taylor, and John Johnson.
Whether they are old or young, dead or alive, you should listen to what they have to say. If dead, then you should at least know their story.
I promise you that you will walk away with at least one piece of knowledge that will benefit your company. Many of these entrepreneurs had to overcome the same struggles that you face.
