Where Do We Even Begin...?
Learn the motivation behind the book and take a look into the book's intro.
Building…...
We begin by building.
That is the motivation behind Black Veteran Entrepreneur: Validate Your Business Model, Build Your Brand, and Step into Your Greatness.
Building opportunities for others to succeed. Building a community for like-minded individuals to support and learn from one another, collaboratively introducing each other to new opportunities and resources.
Building a space where lift as we climb is the primary cornerstone.
That is where we began.
Your Look
Will Allen Dromgoole wrote a poem decades ago that poetically captures the spirit and power of building.
We had to include this poem in the introduction to the book. It perfectly sets the tone for you and other readers, so you know a bridge awaits you on your path.
The Bridge Builder
by Will Allen Dromgoole
An old man going a lone highway,Came, at the evening cold and gray,To a chasm vast and deep and wide.Through which was flowing a sullen tideThe old man crossed in the twilight dim,The sullen stream had no fear for him;But he turned when safe on the other sideAnd built a bridge to span the tide.“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,“You are wasting your strength with building here;Your journey will end with the ending day,You never again will pass this way;You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide,Why build this bridge at evening tide?”The builder lifted his old gray head;“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,“There followed after me to-dayA youth whose feet must pass this way.This chasm that has been as naught to meTo that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”
