I can never say thanks enough to the people who are reading this blog and hoping that someone, somewhere out there will be inspired to do something and begin to physically create the magic needed in Freeport/Lucaya, Grand Bahama.
I was getting a big discouraged with what my eyes were seeing as I read the responses of others to my last blog. It seems that once seeing the word "Freeport" emotions of pity and despair on some people.
I find this interesting and depressing ... hmmm
But I see the potential. There is a lot of potential. But you have to see Freeport/Grand Bahama the way Wallace Groves saw it ... as land mass with a lot of financial potential.
I could never believe that he would have used all of his own money to bring this to light... the secret to great wealth most of the time is to use someone else's' money. Find like minded persons to invest in your ideas, but it is also important to put some of your own money, time and sweat.
I was thinking just now about the comments Luckner Timothee made during the TEDx GrandBahama on the soil .. He said for those who did not attend ... that the exposed soil loses its nutrients and then he spoke of the need to cover the soil.
With this in mind I think Grand Bahama is in that stage now ... it like the soil, has been scraped clean and has some compost over it which of course does not smell nice all the nice and may not even feel nice, but it give the soil the nutrients it needs for the organisms within to grow and flourish and eventually to put forth great crop and a bountiful harvest.
I think of people like Angelika Christie who had Radient Health Centre and is presently offering to help people free of charge with life coaching, a great way to break up the ground and prepare the way forward; of Raquel Hart of Out of the Box Strategy Group who wrote of book to help people understand the dynamics of getting in to business in Grand Bahama; of my daughter Alishia Duncanson who had Flint Stones Inc and through which she too is trying to assist persons interested in business to find their own way and to even find the necessary funding.
I think of people like Ian Rolle of the Grand Bahama Port Authority who is always trying to come up with new and exciting projects to restart Freeport, and I must tell him that one day Down Town Freeport will turn around.
I think of people like Fredricka Black and Ruthann Newton Lighbtourne who expanded their entrepreneurial mindsets to take on such things as becoming Lifestyle and Business Coach and Marketing Professional respectively.
As my boss Spencer Mallory says to me, if something doesn't work right away, find other ways or other things to add to the business to make it better.
Everything does not have to be in Grand Bahama ... as Nareka Swann did with her concept Go Global even moving to Nassau when she could not find the encouragement in Grand Bahama.
I can't in this respect forget Flawless Mango Skin by Kaylisa Beneby who is taking her Bahamian skin care product world wide.
I know I have mentioned some of these people before and what they are doing but do deserve to be seen for what they are doing and then for others to take on the same zest for life and create something of their own.
Like Mr. Smith from Spartan Hardware who is so hard working he has put all his passions together including advertising, electronics, contracting/building, MMD, etc. I just cant keep up with it.
He is my ultimate hero I'd have to say because my dreams are just so diverse when people are always saying find one thing and concentrate on that. But why?
My background is writing and so is my passion but I can do and have done a lot more. So many of us put ourselves in boxes because we feel that society would not accept us for what we are .. diverse.
Wake up, get up and let's show up Grand Bahama. The nation is 41 and Freeport has been around for almost 60 years. We should know how to do something by not just stay alive.
