On more than one occasion, I've seen family members come together to financially contribute to a wedding. $3,000 for flowers. $1,000 for a chocolate fountain. $5,000 for a wedding dress. No exaggeration: I've seen low-income families come together and raise thousands of dollars for a wedding that lasted a few hours, and a marriage that lasted a few years.This same energy and passion should be used to come together to invest in a business that can make everyone wealthy, can last a lifetime, and can be passed down to future generations.
If a family got together and raised just a couple thousand dollars, they can open a store front, buy a franchise, and/or even expand an existing business.
Why not organize your family to invest in something that will yield a return and produce results that can financially empower everyone?
Great idea! I hope this idea spreads to many families.

ReplyDeleteGreat post Dante. Black folks still have a very hard time discussing money with each other.

ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome idea! I'm going to bring this up the next time my family gets together (or someone announces an engagement) :)
