Too many subscribe to 50 Cent's philosophy of Get Rich or Die Tryin'.


There is no need to subscribe to an early death if you are prepared to write and work to a business plan. There are even courses in American prisons where you can study on an Masters in Business programme.
Yes!!! We were murderers. We were gang leaders. We were drug dealers. However, we are executives. We are MBAs. We are pastors. We are now professionals now these people have found t within themselves to transform.  An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of their individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. 
Have others tried to lead you astray from your honest goals? Only to find that they are leading you from your way, the way that would have led you to your advancement instead of the advancement of others. How comfortable were you with your own actions, what was surprising, what emotions did you experience, how did you deal with these in today’s fast moving world of entrepreneurship we cannot afford to be side tracked with the agenda of others.

What if you were known for the worst thing you've ever done? Would you want a chance to redefine yourself—a fresh start?  Martin Luther King Jr.

Established in 2004, the Prison Entrepreneurship Program (PEP) is a Houston-based non-profit organization. They are pioneers of innovative programs that connect the nation’s top executives, MBA students and politicians with convicted felons. Their entrepreneurship boot camp and re-entry programs are proven solutions for reformed inmates who thrive on challenge and accountability.

They are on a mission to stimulate positive life transformation for executives and inmates, uniting them through entrepreneurial passion, education and mentoring.

Let us learn from the mistakes of others Like, Marcus in the film, Get Rich or Die Tryin'. (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) unfortunately, he and his drug crew end up robbing local shops. However as Marcus steps onto the stage to perform for the waiting crowd, he removes the bulletproof vest he had on, showing he was no longer afraid. Individual, family, community are very small entities an injury to one is an injury to all. Use what you have learned to build solid economic structures based on principles for the good of all and show your true wisdom.
