  Pink Pineapple Boutiques I met Jamye about two years ago as she was referred to me by another client for tax services. I instantly got that go getter vibe from her because she spoke vividly about her passion for fashion and designing. So I was not at all surprised when I received the email newsletter about the Grand Opening of Pink Pineapple Boutiques. I was intrigued simply by the name and of course as only a true entrepreneur would, she explained "Pineapple" has become the universal symbol for hospitality, welcome, charm and style and the color "Pink" is known to evoke creativity and warmth and is simply one of her fave colors. Located in a cute, welcoming and charming studio overlooking Historic read more

Follow Friday – Wedding vs Family Business

Meta: Uncategorized 8:06 pm

With an ode to Twitter, I’m doing a Follow Friday. But also because Dante Lee of Diversity City Media, has a great point, I thought I would share. Check out his blog and recent article on “Wedding vs Family Business”.

Weddings vs Family Business

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? Dante Lee

But really this could be numerous situations vs family business ( i.e. Family Reunion, Birthday Party, etc).

  Can Kanye save Fatburger?
  
  Kanye West, Mr. West as he sometimes refers to himself has a new venture, no not the well sort after Louis Vutton shoe line he recently released but he’s scheduled to open the first of 10 Fatburgers Restaurants in a Chicago suburban area this month.
  
  KW Foods LLC, will bring Fatburgers to several areas, including California. Am I surprised Kanye has jumped into the food business, no not at all. He has proven himself to be a constant perfectionist with millions of albums sold and a shoe line, which range in price from $800-$1000 a pair, that was sold out before the store doors opened, growing his wealth seems to be heavy on his mind.
