Grand Bahama needs a new dreamer or a new dream
Was there slavery on Grand Bahama? There is a hot box that says yes.
Were their communities all over the island? Yes following the re-population brought by slavery, there were many communities and some have been moved according to developments.
Was there a dreamer? Yes his name was Wallace Groves who fleeing from the United States decided to take on a lumber company in Abaco then moved it to Grand Bahama. Here is looked at the pines here and thought of not only the deforestation but what would be in its place.
The Hawksbill Creek Agreement was the birth of that dream.
What other dreams have their been?
The Governments of The Bahamas had dreams for expansions through the Hawksbill Creek Agreement and they were birthed.
But for about 40 years the dreams have ceased it seems.
Who would responsible for a 20 year plan for this island? Who wants to join in a campaign to put together a plan to move it forward?
I was part of a number of think tanks this week where entrepreneurs expressed their thoughts on where we are headed.
There was one in particular who, although quite young and bright, was beaten almost to the ground.
My advice, keep moving despite the detractors.
The diamonds always shows in the middle of the rough.
There are many with ideas, but feel that others will steal their ideas. There are a lot of ideas I wish they would steal and I will be publishing those. But if someone takes an idea you had, they cannot execute it they way you would have and therefore it is not the same.
Also the spirit of monopolies still exist in Grand Bahama but the truth is that competition is good and can keep you on your feet. Stop looking at it as a bad thing. Yes five dress stores but what are you offering that the others are not? Up your game.
What is your dream? How do you see it manifesting?
Is it just for you or does it include the rest of the island?
And if a population of 40 000 is not enough, think outside the island and get it done.
But as Nike says, DO IT!
