Entrepreneurs Talk Obstacles, What Black Businesses Need To Level Up - Seite 3
Marcus Davis, a Houston-based restaurateur, has tourists lining up for signature Southern dishes outside The Breakfast Klub. His own HBCU education at Texas Southern University helped him become established in a corporate job before he found the confidence to follow his entrepreneurship vision.
"It helped me with being able to figure out life, being able to set a goal," says Davis, who spoke on a panel at the TSU launch event. "It's about more than just curriculum and classes. It's learning how to set a long-term goal, how to maneuver through the system, the importance of being able to persevere."
The Intuit QuickBooks survey shows 95% of Black business owners view their business' success as important to the success of future generations of Black entrepreneurs, so having successful speakers who model success for launch event attendees was important.
"It's one thing for me to look at a Bill Gates or Elon Musk, but when Black Enterprise magazine put out a top 100 list of Black businessmen every year, that was inspiring to me," Davis says. "It gives you a sense of your peers.
"That's why it's extremely important for me to go back and talk to students and show them that I went to the same school, have a similar background, and they, too, can do spectacularly well in business."
