Extraordinary Sewing Group

by C. Henry Adams

In May of 2017 while visiting the Adams Center located on the campus of Christ Community AME Church in Clarkston, Georgia, I walked into a sewing class by happenstance.

Well, I did not think much of the ordinary looking class, until I sat down and listen to the extraordinary capabilities the group of professional women described.

It was quite amazing to hear of all the things made with a sewing machine.  Empowering youth, as well as, adults to learn this unique skill helps build the economy.

As a youth, my late Mother & Father use to say that there was nothing you could not accomplish, if only you put your mind to it.  Operating a sewing machine effectively could be a form of income.

That being said, feel free to click on the audio or video version of C. Henry Blogs and share your thoughts.

Thanks!

A Will To Grow Any Business Model

By C. Henry Adams


Part 2 of  ' Ignorance is Bliss , but not in Commerce '  - A Business Development Series From A Very Different Perspective.

Mentor-ship is an important aspect of Commerce, as well as, life in general.  It should not be taken for granted.  The need for experienced voices in the expansion of your organization is important.

Now that we've gotten your attention regarding how "Not" to mentor.  Which some would say, " C. Henry is putting the cart before the horse, "   My reply:  Not so...

Nevertheless, let's examine a process which will eventually become a continual cycle in the art of performing trade.

The objective of this article is to possess a ' Will ' to grow in any business model.

Let's say, that your "Will" is motivated by some action, event or thought in your life, as well as, others who might join you in a venture.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of motivation.

1) Positive Motivation -  A rewarding technique of sorts for accomplishing certain tasks.

2) Negative Motivation - Behavior is motivated by anticipation or fear that an undesirable outcome will result from not performing or any other instance not positive.

Nevertheless, after this particular recognition, there is a 'State of Mind' to be examine in becoming a Proprietor.

To start a business, perhaps, you might consider carrying out (3) three stages of development  as a result of one or both said motivations mentioned above:

Stage 1 -  Think & Dream about your Business.

Stage 2 -   Know what you are getting into before you get into it. 

a)  Research
b)  Study
c)  Properly assess it legally and calculate the cost to the best of your knowledge
d)  Prepare to change or improve your prospective on life as you learn to interact with many different people.

Stage 3 - Weight your options.  Improve your personal credit before taking on a venture.  Encourage partners to follow in the same manner.  Then, implement it.

Note:  A successful business venture requires a detail oriented person to interact with it.  This is just one of the many 'hats of responsibility' you will possess.  But remember, if you have a will to grow any business model, success will make you eminent.

Well, these are my thoughts, what say you?  Thanks for reading our blogs and part 2 of...

Promotion Ceremony of Tina H. Miller to Lieutenant Colonel

by C. Henry Adams

On Saturday, November 26th 2016, I had the opportunity to experience the promotion ceremony of Major Tina H. Miller to Lieutenant Colonel ("Lt. Col.") in the United States Army located in the City of Newnan, Georgia.

In 1988, Lt. Col Tina H. Miller graduated from Newnan High School in Newnan, Georgia.  She then enroll into Morris Brown College and by November of 1989 enlisted into the US Army as a Combat Medic and served during the Gulf War.

Later after several Conflicts, she returned to Morris Brown College to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Early
Childhood Education.  From 1989 to 2016, 27 years, she worked her way upwards from a Enlisted Soldier to become an Officer with a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership.

Today, as Lt. Col., she serves as the Deputy Secretary of the General Staff in the Command Group, United States Army Reserve Command (USARC).

Lt. Col. Tina H. Miller is a prime example of what my late Mother & Father often told me growing up.  That was, " You can achieve anything in life, if you put your mind to it."   Well, those are my thoughts, what say you?

Bid / No-Bid

Monday Morning Contracting Tips

Did you ever wonder why some companies have higher win rates than others?

You might think at first that these companies have smarter people who are better trained at proposal writing, better proposal development processes, and maybe newer tools to help them write winning proposals. That may not be the reason for their success. Success may be more to do with executive decision-making on Bid/No-Bid Decision – Making.

• The organization has an established process for effectively evaluating the government’s solicitation, assessing risks against opportunities, and deciding whether to submit a proposal or not.
• The bid/no-bid decision process is standardized throughout the organization and is mandatory for all opportunities.
• The bid/no-bid decision process is well documented, and some portions may be automated.
• The bid/no-bid decision process results in a final decision about whether to bid on the project and a formal document justifying the decision.
• Senior organizational managements, both functional and program, are involved in providing input and approval of key bid/no-bid decisions and documents.
• The team responsible for the bid/no-bid decision process includes representatives from Subject Matter Experts (SME) and other functional areas of the organization.
• The bid/no-bid decision process is fully integrated with other organizational process, such as cost management, engineering and program management.
• The bid/no-bid decision process includes an integrated assessment of risks that involves identifying analyzing, and mitigating project risks.
• The organization uses efficiency and effectiveness metrics in systematic evaluations of the bid/no-bid decision process
• The organization adopts lessons learned and best practices as methods for continuously improving the bid/no-bid decision.

The only way the Bid/No-Bid Decision – Making process work is that your organization must create a pipeline of opportunities. If there’s a Pipeline of opportunities, there’s time to ensure the Bid/no-bid process is implemented and executed properly. “Make the right decision to Bid or No Bid”. 




All The Best

The McCrae Family Response

By C. Henry Adams

On Monday, January 30th 2017 with little fanfare and much love, I accompanied the McCrae Family and Friends alone with a Fraternal Order of Brothers and Sisters to journey from the Metro Atlanta area ( Decatur, Georgia ) and Macon, Georgia to Dougherty County, Georgia ( the City of Albany ).   

This was an effort made by John and Dot McCrae to assist victims of the South Georgia Natural Disaster that occurred on Sunday, January 22nd 2017 claiming several lives while displacing many others.

Their mission was simple; feed the victims and first responders a hot meal, give away clothing, care packages and additional food with love.

With the help of Family Members, Friends, Churches, Civic Organizations and Small Business(es) they accomplished their goal and showed great admiration with outstanding support.

If you never experienced a natural disaster up close and personal, be thankful.  Fore, the experience whether you are a survivor, first responder or volunteer is not easy to forget.

The definition of surreal is quite simple.  Fore, it is the occurrence of something that appears unreal, unusual, weird and in other words,  a state of being that is not normal.

I make reference to the term surreal to warn the readers that once you step foot into a disaster area or even a war zone of destruction, you could likely be effected by it psychologically.

Nevertheless, if the Spirit of God instructs you to give a helping to others, perhaps you ought to listen. 

Why?  Well, the life you may help save, may very well be your own.   I know that sounds a little creepy, but do not take it to mean something in a bad manner.

Why?  Being blessed and returning your blessings by helping others only makes you stronger and better.

Paying it forward for someone else, will return to you one day when you least expect it.

Well, these are my thoughts, what say you? 

Thanks for reading, viewing and listening to BIE MG Blogs.
