The presidential candidate who has been running his campaign through television ads and private meetings this week spent a historic amount of money with Black newspapers - $3.5 million. "Of all the presidential candidates in the 2020 election, Mike Bloomberg just made the largest single political ad buy in the history of the NNPA," said Dr. Ben Chavis, president/CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) in an interview with the Trice Edney News Wire.

TAX SERVICES Mayor Eric Johnson announces launch of youth employment program Dallas Works

DALLAS — Mayor Eric Johnson on Monday announced the launch of Dallas Works, a major new initiative that will connect students to summer jobs.

“Dallas Works will give our kids an opportunity to learn professional skills, to stay busy during the summer, to make some money, to learn the value of honest work, to contribute to their communities, and to stay out of trouble,” said Mayor Johnson.

Dallas Works is an expansion of the Mayor’s Intern Fellows Program, which then-Mayor Tom Leppert officially launched in 2008. That program, which was modeled on the White House Fellows Program, employed 370 young people at more than 200 major corporations in 2019. Since its inception, the program served 2,940 students.

With a new focus on employing as many young people during the summer as possible, Mayor Johnson hopes Dallas Works can at least double the 2019 num- bers in the first year.

So far, in less than two weeks, nearly 1,500 students and 75 companies have signed up to take part in Dallas Works.

The mayor’s office will oversee the implementation of Dallas Works. Education is Freedom will handle student recruitment and administration. And the Dallas Regional Chamber and the Dallas Citizens Council will help recruit employers to participate.

Employers and students wanting to participate in Dallas Works should visit dal- lassummerjobs.org for more information. February 13 - 19, 2020 The Dallas Post Tribune Page 9 Church Directory

beyond” during SOC renovation

DALLAS — Since 1994, South Oak Cliff High School alum Corey Banks has brought excellence to the Dallas ISD Custodial Services Department.

Today, he’s a supervisor and trainer who oversees the maintenance needs of 21 campuses in the southwest area of Dallas. When South Oak Cliff High School recently underwent $52 million in renovations, Banks and his staff stepped up in a huge way to ensure the school successfully reopened to students in January.

“I am a proud alumni member of SOC, and both of my children graduated from the school as well. It was just an honor to see the transformation from when I went to school here, and when my kids went to school here, to this now,” Banks said.

“These students deserve to be in a building that’s a distraction-free environment. And that’s what we accomplished by working together.”

Banks and his team were in constant communication with contractors and dis- trict staff to ensure SOC successfully reopened to students in January.

His staff, even 35 custodians at one time, coordinated and worked in tandem Corey Banks, supervisor and trainer for Dallas ISD Custodial with construction workers. As soon as contractors finished remodeling an area, the Services Department.

Banks and his team even tirelessly worked over a weekend to get the entire second floor ready for students.

David Bates, executive director of Dallas ISD Maintenance and Operations, said Banks and his team showed commitment and dedication by involving themselves in the process early.

“They attended planning meetings and held their own weekly meetings in order to come up with a plan of action,” Bates said. “We have been involved in a lot of bond projects, but Mr. Banks and his team set a standard moving forward of just how we need to and should open a school.”

For his part, Banks considers the SOC project a success because “everybody’s part was just as important as the next person’s part.”

“I am who I am today because of the education that I received here at South Oak Cliff. That’s why I was so deeply rooted in this project, outside of this being my job,” he said. “The love that I have for this building and for this school community is off the charts.

February 13 - 19, 2020 The Dallas Post Tribune Page 11 Do you have a viable

business idea?

Recognize your strengths, experience, and market opportunities for your next business opportunity. Starting your own business can be a rewarding way to build wealth and fill the needs for others with a product or service. It’s a calling that requires grit, wit, and per- severance. But one of the biggest challenges of starting your own business is coming up with an idea that not only makes sense for you but also is sustainable and prof- itable. You may already have an idea in mind, but before you jump into it, it’s best to double-check that your idea has what it takes to generate sales and satisfy your career goals. If you think you’re ready to be your own boss, here are some tips on choosing a viable business idea. Identify what drives you Exploring your own passions and skill set is a great start to finding a potential business idea. Ask yourself what gives you satisfaction and what kinds of problems you enjoy solving. To help decide if your business idea is the right fit, ask yourself: · Is this something I can do that others can’t? Is it something I do better than others? Answering these questions may help highlight the strengths you have that can make you and your potential business idea stand out. · What am I passionate about? Can I picture doing this every day? Maybe you want to help the environment or just make everyday tasks a little easier for people. Whatever it is, you need to be sure it’s something that motivates you. · Do I have experience or knowledge about this business opportunity? The more informed you are about your idea, the easier it may be for you to turn it into a business. “Ideally, you’ll find the perfect intersection between your interests, expertise, and what the market is demanding,” says Dr. Dennis Kimbro, a business professor and best-selling author. Once you’ve identified what sparks your passion and the skills you have to offer, then it’s time to find out who is willing to pay for your product or service. Find your market To avoid launching your idea in a market with limited opportunities, conduct market research. This data-grounded approach may help you determine if your business idea will actually be successful. Start by thinking about the type of person you envision purchasing your product or needing your service. Your idea of who your target customer should be may change after conducting market research, so remember this step is about understanding your customer base. Grounded on this understanding, consider ways to adjust your busi- ness to better serve the needs of this segment. The purpose of market research is to find out how your business can best meet the needs of its target market. To get a baseline understanding of your potential cus- tomers, you can use: · Surveys: SurveyMonkey and Hubspot offer free templates to help you get started. SurveyMonkey allows users to select demographics. This way you know exactly what audience is answering your survey questions. · Focus groups: FocusGroupIt lets you organize and conduct your own focus groups through social media. · Existing research on your target market: can help give you a basic look at the audiences you could serve. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) also recommends these free data sources: · Business Data and Statistics provided by the SBA · Small Business Statistics provided by the SBA · The American FactFinder and other tools provided by the U.S. Census Bureau · Economic indicators available at the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis · Competitor research: Knowing your competition is just as important as knowing your customer. Research the product or services you plan to offer online to find your competition, where they are located, and how they are marketing themselves. And while most people view Yelp as a helpful tool for customers to leave feedback, it can actually be useful for entrepreneurs as well. Look at Yelp reviews to learn what customers say about the strengths and weaknesses of other companies. Based on your research, come up with answers to questions like: · What can I offer that people want, and how much will they pay for it? · Who are my ideal customers, and what problems do they have that I could potentially solve? · How will I reach these customers, and what will it cost? · Can I successfully compete with existing businesses in this space? Opening a business can be exciting and challenging all at once, but preparation can help reduce some of the risks associated with starting new ventures. Take the time you need to research and plan ahead — it could pay off in the long run. © 2019 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A All rights reserved.
