Uh oh... you just said Troy isn't an entrepreneur and that he hasn't created content. Nelson, you just listed white writers on a black literary website, the oldest black literary website and one of the oldest literary websites in the world... run by a Black man. A man who has given voice and space for Black writers, out of his own pocket, for almost 20 years. You just wrote that we won't be successful. Yet you haven't shown us a website or established your own success using these principles that are common knowledge.
Now let's just squash what you're doing here. I don't ever do this, but your logic is incredible and without foundation. You won't see anywhere that I've promoted myself or who I am without Troy's permission or as an answer to a question.
My name is Christopher D. Burns. I own ARCH one of the only black owned footwear companies in the world. I also own CBP which is a small book publishing imprint, and music label and a blog with over 400 blog entries/content (the same amount can be found on ARCH). Both companies generate money, but instead of telling you how much I make I am going to give you a link to my investment page for ARCH (which needs to be updated) but it shows how much money I made from 2012 to 2014 which is right 1.3 million dollars. I can also give you CBPs income as well if you like.

This 2015 I've earned right at about 350K. I don't expect anyone else to drop their personal info in here, but I'm doing so to establish that what you are saying is extremely biased, uninformed and without validation. I was bankrupt in 2007. Had a car repossessed and didn't have a job, and had a baby on the way. As a professor I'm well versed in research about Kemet, but also literature in general. I didn't buy into that garbage about the universe giving you what you want in the Secret, but if it's what you believe I do agree that you can manifest, but without a plan and some direction you can align with the universe and still be broke as fuck. Instead of relying on the Secret, I wrote my own book. I'm now spending my time giving anybody willing to listen what I did and how I failed and succeeded my story so they can avoid going through what I went through and still go through. Last year I lost 150,000 dollars. I talk about this in my video series as well.
Now, I'm glad you responded, but you need to really give us something that shows your name, who you are and what you've done for people before you call out a guy/man/Troy who gave me my "start" in promoting my work and literally broke over 50% of the books you probably read and support written by Black writers. Until you do more than fall back on the rhetoric of not being challenged, your words mean nothing.
