**THE I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE INITIATIVE**
**A Joint Declaration by Black Business Census Global, EKNOCK Artist Index & Exchange, FreedomWorld Development Corporation, SubTerra Conglomerate, Emerchant Capital, and the Black Business Census School of Business and High Leverage Finance**

**OUR MISSION:**
To lead people down the path of self-development and preparation for a global marketplace, understanding that confinement and centralization are archaic notions. The world is your oyster. You can be whatever, whenever, however you want to be. Whatever God has told you, if it's in God's will, you can have it. If you believe it, you can achieve it. And if you choose to believe in this initiative, you will achieve it.

**THE THREE TENETS OF I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE:**
**1. SELF-DEVELOPMENT: OPTIMIZE YOUR INNATE ABILITY**
If you are not the best version of yourself, there are opportunities you will not be able to take advantage of. Period. We believe in refining your skill set, maximizing your God-given talents, and becoming the elite version of yourself. This is not optional. This is foundational.
**2. OBJECTIVITY: LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND SEE OPPORTUNITY AS IT IS**
Once you identify your skill set and begin developing it, you must understand how you fit into a global marketplace. Everything and everyone has a utilization point. You must be able to see where you fit, recognize opportunity in real-time, and position yourself strategically. This is about clarity, not comfort.
**3. WEAPONIZE YOURSELF FOR THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE**
Your competition is not the best in your city, your region, your state, or even your country. Your competition is the best in the world. That's what a global marketplace means. Black excellence and American exceptionalism are not the exception – they are THE RULE. We have to be better. We have to be elite. And if you choose to believe, you will be.

**WHAT WE BELIEVE:**
We believe we are standing at the convergence of two massive economic shifts happening **simultaneously**:
**THE SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION** – Agriculture. Industry. Infrastructure. Real production. Real jobs. Real wealth-building.
**THE SECOND TECH REVOLUTION** – Just like the 1990s tech boom that birthed Amazon, eBay, and the digital economy, we are witnessing another explosive wave of technological innovation and opportunity.
The culmination of BOTH revolutions is happening RIGHT NOW.
We believe in:
- Understanding supplier lines and global commerce
- Marketing your skill set in a borderless economy
- Recognizing that **entrepreneurship is the absolute pinnacle of Black excellence and American exceptionalism**
- Building small businesses that become big businesses
- Closing the digital divide with free Wi-Fi and Internet access
- Creating financial innovation that democratizes wealth
- Opening the American Dream to the 90% who've been disconnected from it

**BLACK EXCELLENCE & AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM: THE RULE, NOT THE EXCEPTION**
In a global marketplace, excellence is not negotiable. Elite is the standard. We are Black-owned firms changing the scope of finances in America and the world. We are not asking for permission. We are not waiting for inclusion. We are building the infrastructure, creating the platforms, and establishing the training ground.
**The Black Business Census School of Business and High Leverage Finance** is where this transformation begins – where self-development meets strategic positioning, where belief meets ex*****on, where small businesses learn to become big businesses.

**THE TRUTH THEY DON'T TELL YOU:**
When you put your best foot forward, you will face resistance. Tides will rise against you. But here's the guarantee: when you put your best foot forward, you ALWAYS set yourself up for a major win in life.
Always.

**I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE:**
I choose to believe that I was created with purpose.
I choose to believe that there's something better for me than what I may see right now.
I choose to believe that I'm more than what they say I am.
I choose to believe that my future is what I choose to make of it.
I choose to believe that I am enough.
I choose to believe that I am not just a random assemblance of nerves, tendons, and cells – that my life means something, my purpose means something, my vision means something, my will means something.
---
**TO EVERY MAN, WOMAN, BOY, AND GIRL – CURRENT AND FUTURE:**
All things are possible if you have faith and you never give up.
This is not inspiration. This is infrastructure.
This is not a dream. This is development.
This is not hope. This is happening.
**I Choose to Believe.**
*Will you?*
