This year I am placing my bets on the success of Latino entrepreneurs and professionals!
I am convinced, now more than ever, that our community is the backbone of the US economy. We are young, uber-entrepreneurial, and our purchasing power continues to rise exponentially. While significant disparities continue to exist and these must be overcome if Latinos are to maximize contributions and wealth-creation; momentum is on our side.
To help all of us close these disparity gaps, the January issue of our newsletter, Red de Connexiones, provides professionals and entrepreneurs with a series of useful resolutions to adopt in 2019.
For instance, one of the most important steps business owners can take in 2019 is to plan for growth by becoming "loan-ready". They can perform a self-assessment on-line through our partner website, Venturize, or they can receive personalized coaching provided by our staff.
This year we are challenging Latino professionals to take control of their time by planning their days and by assigning to each hour a dollar value, in the way consultants do. This strategy helps in making wise decisions about where to invest this precisous resource.
Finally, we cordially invite our members and friends to support GPHCC's mission by sponsoring and attending Alegria Ball and the Excelencia Hispanic Business Awards, our annual fundraiser. This year our black-tie affair will take place on February 22nd, and it will be the best yet, featuring a new venue, great networking and, of course, best-in-class food and entertainment.
¡Felicidades a todos!
I wish you a healthy and successful 2019!
