With the current global economic climate, everyone needs at least one additional source of income. Plagued with markets of more sellers than buyers and unemployment escalating each day, you must learn to earn from the skills that you possess and reap rewards not only for yourself but for the society to which you belong. The JamaicanUpstart seeks to bring to you a wealth of resources that will enable you to accomplish this goal. Never before have information and tangible resources been more accessible for doing business in Jamaica for start ups.
We are faced with a tremendous social and economic challenge, but as the old adage says, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". Jamaicans are tough, and that's why it boggles my mind that for as long as I can remember a country so rich in culture, creativity and cunning, yes I said it, cunning, have failed to understand their true potential and translate that to income (legal, socially beneficial income). That is the purpose of this blog, and of this site, to research and bring to you all the ways that I can find for us Jamaicans to harness our power and become owners of our destinies. The following quotation by Marianne Willamson I think says it most eloquently.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
And so to all my brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous upstarts, we are also going to be successful.
