This chica is so smart that watching this video gave me a little tingle. you know how it is being geeky all your life and then all of a sudden you are cool. yeahhh (side-eye) so what, I was and am a geek. I’m actually quite proud of it, because I attract smart ass geeky others as well. mostly like YOU. yeah I’m talking to YOU My Readers. I figured out by the score and reading level of my blog that most of you who actually READ This Blog – Are A Pretty Smart Bunch. also that Most of You are Women. take a look at the comments and you’ll see what I mean (wink*wink) real fast. that’s the point of this post – to bring peoples attention to how smart Women really are In Business.
Why ? well lets just say that I’m in the midst of working on a new business plan and I wanted to share some of my research with you, in a clever way. Yes we all know that America has financial issues right now (side-eye), so that means that the Smarty Pants Chicas’ Gotta Fix It.. Sight ?

This is something that most people neglect to do, if they are cash poor because they are often afraid that there will be too many checks and balances to be funded. In lots of cases there are angel investors as well. Think of Kiva. it’s primarily small lenders lending to small projects and usually one person businesses.
This is the model that we’re going to see arising in the new world economy. so we better get used to it. Women can take a little of nothing and work with it until they have enough, if they know how. This is why today we’re focusing on Women and Micro Businesses.

Talking about Micro credit.
For this school project I was entirely inspired by FABRICA and its “Microcredit Afrika Works” project.
This is going to be the new American model very soon. Mark my words, community groups will begin to again form cooperatives and buy their food. Then they will share in the resources of energy creation and resale; as well as a common income source, such as a market to sell the excess produce and products of the various members involved.
We think that instead of talking about what’s wrong in America – maybe we should be The Fixers – and Re-Build Our Economy. (remember it was the decider who mucked it up)
Ladies – Are Ya With Me ?
Honestly we need to take a look at what the Amish Communities do to make their incomes so secure. There is no doubt they’ve figured it out and are putting it to work. I see the Amish ladies at the market on saturday selling out. they bring a van full of baked goods and snacks and leave with a apron full of money. They rarely smile, but they are the nicest women. take a look at our chat with them from this spring in Detroit’s Eastern Market.
