Like so many of us, I have struggled these past few days with what to say about the heartbreaking injustice that has shaken our country. This struggle pales in comparison to what the Black community is suffering through. Silence is not an option, and I'm glad to see so many people standing up to say what we should have been saying all along. Count me among them: racism, white supremacy, and fascism should have no place in our society.

Most aspiring entrepreneurs look to their alma mater, or any university, as a source of classes that can help them, but neglect to think outside the box or take advantage of all the other resources to be found there.

Serious investors, on the other hand, look for a professional business plan or summary first, and hardly ever look at the product plan. Is it any wonder why so few entrepreneurs ever find the professional investors they seek?
