From the time of African captivity to even today, the level of Black consciousness (self-awareness) has remained extremely low. It has been shaped by those who control the inputs to our brain; what we see, what we hear, what we feel and what we taste. These external influences serve to fashion a set of beliefs deficient in self-awareness. As a result, Blacks internalize inappropriate behavior patterns that compel them to serve the needs of others while neglecting their own group development.
The Spearmangroup, a Black business-coaching firm, has designed a set of business-coaching services that raise both consciousness and capital. Consciousness is expanded to the point that it helps align business development with community development. Integrating common values, communications, communal service, confidence, group solidarity, trust, wealth generating capability and spiritual power, Spearmangroup provides offerings that help its clients attain tangible results.
“Our understanding of the world tells us that Africans in America suffer from two major impediments: inappropriate behavior patterns (stemming from lack of consciousness) and lack of wealth accumulation, (capital). Therefore, we designed our services to relieve these pains. Inappropriate behavior patterns such as; Attitude towards Material Things, White Ice is Colder, and Susceptibility to Community Division are addressed in our Reconnecting with Ancestral Knowledge study group. Lack of wealth accumulation is addressed by our business coaching services and encyclopedia of Black business development website, inside-secrets-for-black-business-development.com ,” says Baba Lawrence, a.k.a. Lawrence Spearman, Facilitator of Spearmangroup and creator of the concept.
Baba Lawrence goes on to say, “Our ancestors teach us that conditions result from actions, actions result from thoughts and thoughts are a by-product of consciousness. Therefore, in order to change our conditions of inappropriate behavior patterns and lack of wealth generation, we must first change our thinking. We cannot change our thinking unless, and until, we change our consciousness. Consciousness refers to knowing self. It’s no wonder that the ancestors said the greatest proverb of all is, Know Thyself.”
Spearmangroup provides business coaching and study groups in the areas of business planning, proposal writing, financial planning, and consultation. The study groups help emancipate us from the alien-inspired dungeon of false beliefs about ourselves, others and the world because they’ll supply us a new set of historically accurate facts, concepts, theories, and perspectives about ourselves, about others, and about the world based on our African cultural and intellectual heritage.
