The bigger question is, How do you feel about this? And What do you think should be done about it?

After all young men and young women must be supported and promoted by our local communities, setting the example for our regional and national representatives. We must provide for them and assist them in developing the skill set that is going to allow for each of them to be competitive in a fast paced society where information and distractions are coming at you from all directions more than ever in history.

The Gentlemen of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated Rho Psi Lambda Chapter, Bronx, New York (06 In The BX) is doing just that.

These Men have partnered with the Broadway Play, Produced by Grammy Winner Alicia Keys to host ALPHA NIGHT ON BROADWAY (Sunday November 20, 2011).

Unemployment is steadily between 9.2% to 9.6% that translates into 14,265,000 people. THAT’S UNACCEPTABLE !!!! in a country that is the leader of the FREE WORLD. The harsher reality is that the way things are looking, 58.5% of Americans are going to spend at least one year of their adult life in poverty and 70% of the people are living pay check to pay check. If we do not begin looking  at developing multiple streams of income and owning assets we are going to have a  far deeper reaching problems than what already exists.

As working individuals who are striving to provide for our families and ourselves we have to investigate ways that will allow for us to be paid multiple times for every hour that we work and develop income streams that will flow with out you physically being present. When this is accomplished not only will you be financially independent but those income streams will be able to continue flowing for your family after you have passed on. That’s correct you can take action now and begin developing GENERATIONAL FINANCES THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR FAMILY LEGACY.

With 55% of Americans always concerned about money and spending $1.22 for every $1.00 that is earned, something has to be done. Paying the price at both ends of the stick could be your answer. Providing you do not know, Linear Income is not going to do this for you. Trading time for dollars at your job is not the answer. What that can do is pay your bills, but it will not assist you in getting ahead, for it is not a wealth principle. Passive Income, where you get paid by leveraging other peoples effort is definetly one of the ways that will make your financial situation healthier. When this is coupled with residual income, doing something once and being paid over and over for it, this is the major Key.  Residual income allows for you to create explosive growth over a marginal period of time, as long as you follow specific strategic principles that work.

Imagine, 40% of Americans say that just an additional $500.00 a month would allow for them to have a dramaticly increased financial situation. What does this translate to?? It simply means that you should  learn 5 THINGS THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MONEY:
1. PASSIVE INCOME
2. RESIDUAL INCOME
3. STARTING YOUR OWN HOME BASED BUSINESS
4. TAX ADVANTAGES
5. MAKING MONEY GLOBALLY

In order for you to accomlish the aformentioned you have to enter an emerging industry and identify a company that has the following:
1. STABILITY
2. REWARDING
3. ENRICHING
4. PROVEN
5. STRENGTH
6. GLOBAL

We at Our Gang Productions of NY, LLC have done just that:

CONTINUE IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DESTINY

DION MICHAEL ASHMAN, PRESIDENT & CEO

Well you may ask, How do I do this ?? You have to work hard yes, but you must work hard SMART. Let me qualify this for you. You must bring yourself FROM CONCEPTION TO INCEPTION AND TAKE SIX STEPS TO MAKING YOUR DREAM A REALITY:
1. Know your end result.
2. Marry Your Idea.
3. Apprehension (does not exist when marry idea).
4. Network With A Purpose.
5. Self Analysis.
6. C.A.P. (consistent action plan)

This is the formula that I created for myself and now I am sharing it with you. The the absolute truth is that whatever you focus on is your reality. I choose to focus on the aforementioned 6 principles that allow me to propel forward to each one of my committments in each area of my life.

This is all too important especially when you are producing projects independently, focus and the ability to see projects through to the end is a major task. In order to be ready you must have a strategy for with out one it is as bad as being lost in the desert.

What we are looking to do here is hydrate you for business and eliminate the doubt that may exist due to past failures. Remember, FAILURE CAN BE FERTILIZER FOR GROWTH WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHY YOU FAILED.

When I implemented my own system the result has been these two following links: http://www.ourgangitvnet.com/the-other-side-of-hip-hop-the-sixth-element.php & http://www.ourgang62.com/increase-your-income.html

Now the same way that I put my own independent system in place, you can too. Research says that 48% of people in the United States say that an additional $500.00 per month would change their financial situation dramaticly. This was something that was like REALLY!!!!!! Our Gang can assist them with that.

IT TAKES GENUINE FOCUS AND BELIEF IN ONE SELF THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY COMMITTMENT WHICH BRINGS ABOUT DISCIPLINE.

What is probably far more reaching is that 70% of Hip Hop music is purchased by young white suburban youth, which means that the culture is also doing something in regards to race relations (This is something we will talk more in depth about in a later Blog).

Right now, as I write there are so many independent producers that are looking to get their piece of the Hip Hop Multi Billion Dollar Pie. What is even more interesting than that is there are really only about a dozen or so true Millionaires in the industry who are artists. When I say Millionaire I qualify this by saying. They can cut a check for a $1,000,000 and still have millions in the bank. So, saying that to say what?? Hip Hop has been around since 1973, thanks to Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash and Kool Herc. But we only have a few truly Rich people who are artists. I for one do not want a piece of the pie, I want the recipe. Yes, I think we should all have our own recipe. This is why I choose to do things independently with others who have a similar mindset. We work together on a project to project basis. For instance our on line marketing of THE OTHER SIDE OF HIP HOP:THE SIXTH ELEMENT. http://www.ourgangitvnet.com/the-other-side-of-hip-hop-the-sixth-element.php This is our effort to assist in the decriminalization of the culture. This film is told through the life and work of Brother Ernie Paniccioli who has been covering Hip Hop since its inception. Exercising his weapon of Choice, armed with A Canon AE-1 this Photo Street Soldier has done it all.  From the Aerosolics on the subway trains to 50 Cent, he has been there capturing a multitude of events with one touch of the shutter button.

When you are making efforts to find your way one of the more important components to your own equation is financing. To better understand how I am funding my next film please visit http://www.ourgang62.com/increase-your-income.html and review the information. After you review the information, communicate with me and lets see if Our Gang can assist you in either getting that additional financing you need for what ever your project may be or just simply making additional income.

Listen, much thanks to all of you who take time from your schedules to share in this Blog and make sure you take good care and be well.

It truly is amazing how many people I come across that
actually want to produce something and don’t or they do produce their project but do not know how to market that project.

This happens for one particular reason. As independent producers often time we spend so much time producing our projects that we are just concerned with finishing the darn thing and finishing it well. Then we move on to post production, this is when many producers start slipping, for by now money is becoming short or is gone all together. Now if you are able to move through post you often become like a fish out of water when it comes to marketing or making efforts to find a distributor. Maybe you contemplated doing your own marketing and it was overwhelming, you just did not know how to Brand Market via Street Promotions or set up your own self imposed film festival/screening circuit. I know folks, sounds like a lot and it is. However, for many of you reading this you have already achieved becoming a genuine producer by creating and producing your project, be it music,film or video. THIS IS WHAT WE DO. So, if you have gone this far why not simply take it a step further and find a vehicle that can assist you in getting the money to finance your entire project. You have the energy, you have the spirit and you have me who is actually doing it. Simply check out these two links and you will see exactly what I mean.
