A group member then asks questions about supporting female entrepreneurship through technology and whether today's climate is more inviting to women.

This document provides information about the Maryland Department of Commerce and its activities. It introduces Benjamin Wu as the Deputy Secretary and outlines the department's focus on outreach, expanding its business development team, and improving customer service. It also notes Maryland's strong economic rankings. The remainder describes the department's leadership structure and roles, regional representatives, and programs that provide financing, tax credits, training, marketing assistance, and support for small/minority businesses and tourism.
The document discusses the Women's Procurement Program Improvement Act of 2012 and its potential effects. It notes that while women owned only 4% of American businesses in 1972, by 1991 that number had grown to 38%. Often women had to use personal savings to start businesses. The Act aims to expand federal contracting opportunities for women-owned businesses to increase their participation in business and the workforce. It is estimated to cost $5 million per year with no mandates for other levels of government or the private sector. The policy could increase both women's participation in business and employment for both men and women by supporting the creation of more women-owned enterprises.
This presentation was part of the Growing Entrepreneurial Communities Summit, a practitioner-focused summit designed to help economic development and small business practitioners effectively create economic growth through entrepreneurship in local communities.

Various industry organizations, including Meeting Professionals International, have conducted research and campaigns to convince stakeholders that meetings improve employee productivity, drive sales, and impact profitability. Wisconsin has also launched a "Meetings Mean Business for Wisconsin" campaign to promote meetings and events in the state. The industry still needs to amplify its collective voice to ensure all understand that face-to-face meetings provide value.

201 Election| Canada and World| Slow Economic Growth| August 2019paul young cpa, cga
I have written many blogs on GDP as such GDP was never what at Justin Trudeau made it out to be for Canada.
There are few major things driving the issues
1. Brexit (UK split from EU)
2. Global Protectionism policies
3. WTO not being reformed
4. Too much push for carbon tax and the climate change agenda
5. Too many governments focusing on keynesian economics.
6. Global immigration and integration
7. Anti-Natural Resources agenda
8. Automation (internet of things, machine learning, AI)
9. Lack of quality in terms of government leaders
10. Too many governments are pushing radical agendas including regressive taxation.
The document discusses Canada's slow economic growth and identifies several factors contributing to it. It notes that the Liberal Economic Council is brainstorming ways to increase growth such as easing immigration, retraining workers, and creating infrastructure programs. However, there are no easy fixes as the economy depends on many interconnected areas like exports, consumer spending, commodity prices, and government policies. The document outlines some policy options for various sectors but notes that simply adding regulations will not help and the government cannot rely solely on tax increases from businesses to fund spending.

The document discusses issues facing Canada's slowing economic growth and potential solutions. It summarizes that Canada has experienced slow GDP growth for over 12 years due to factors like commodity prices, consumer demand, and exports. Most of Canada's GDP comes from the services sector rather than goods producing. Potential next generation businesses include 3D printing, drones, and driverless cars.

Build an Automated Wholesale Business - E-commerce Automation andPassive IncomeFaruq Hunter
Automated Wholesale - Exclusively sell to and create thousands of independent retailers by owning an automated wholesale center.
The Black Competitiveness Initiative
Starts Today!
I have been mulling over this for more than two years now. we have finally refined the pieces. now it is time to Launch what promises to be one of the biggest initiatives in the country focused on building black-owned manufacturers in the United States.
This part is most important.
Not just any manufacturers but black manufacturers operating under industrialization 4.0 standards.
YES!!! the opportunity for black owned businesses in the United States to become leaders in manufacturing in the next part of our century will be done through Automation and Robotics.
But that is no short task and the learning curve is immense. Entrepreneurial and pioneering spirit to push into this new era of business in the United States.
Unlike many other programs of its type we will not try to push black Americans from where they are today directly into Manufacturing. that would be ludicrous.
Instead we will start from the beginning. we will build strong e-commerce retailers as well as Wholesale Distributors. and then the initiative will carry their businesses through the practical and systematic transition from a successful retailer into a manufacturer through the path of cost reduction and scaling.
The Black Competitiveness initiative or BCI composes of three primary components and objectives.
1. Create high-margin streams of revenue for Black-American-Owned web 4.0 e-commerce companies leveraging international sourcing and duty Free trade by 2025
2. Transfer Industry 4.0 knowledge and capacity from top manufacturing markets to Black-American-Owned companies by 2030
3. Localize Black-Owned Manufacturers in the US utilizing integrated Industry 4.0 and Web 4.0 methods by 2035
The BCI is currently taking interest by providing a free e-book on foreign sourcing available for download at https://qosil.world/qosil-sourcing-and-fulfilment-home/
This is an aggressive methodical initiative to increase the manufacturing capacity of our country through the original manufacturers of our country.
As Booker T. Washington said, we seek dignified industrialization. Although industrialization might have been the instrument of our misfortunate arrival into the US, it is also our savior.
When you utilize the latest technology and when the primary beneficiary of your labor is yourself and your family, then the labor is dignified.
I add that when you meet this criteria in the modern age, dignified Industrialization is the key to ultimate self-determination.

Beyond Facebook Marketing
Facebook should not be businesses' only marketing platform. A diverse marketing strategy using text, email, websites and in-person events is most effective. Content on all channels should align with clearly defined brand pillars and goals. Websites need compelling headlines and calls to action.

The goal is converting attention into paying customers through strong calls to action across all touchpoints.
