Distinguish between Opportunities

About a month ago I talked to a the manager of Whiskey Blue about doing a LGBT (Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) event at his spot. We talked and talked, and my event was transformed into something different. I was happy about the opportunity to meet him because Whiskey Blue is a respectable, upscale club in the New Orleans area. As I talked it over with my business partners, I realized it wasn't our vision anymore. We became something different. For a second I became what I didn't want to become like the rest of the promoters in New Orleans, fakers.

Eyes Wide Open - New Orleans is a promotion company that cares about clientele it is servicing. I am a member of this group. As I have a lot of friends that are heterosexuals, there are still some things that they do not get because they do not live it. My heterosexuals can and have empathize with me but along the way it becomes sympathy. I don't need sympathy. I am not belittling my friendships, but sometimes they don't understand. It's ok. For sometimes I want to go to the gay/lesbian club, many do not feel comfortable so I don't ask. Enough about them my focus for EWO - NOLA is LGBT members. LGBT members are often castaways. However, they are economic volcano waiting to explode. In case you didn't know, LGBT members and heterosexual people have a big disparity between disposable income with LGBT 'coming out' on top. Statistics show this.

As a member of the LGBT community I cannot water down our events for profits. This is something that is close to my heart. I have to be careful when making business decisions. I realized that Whiskey Blue was not good for the first place for Eyes Wide Open - New Orleans. That gives me more time with the behind-the-scenes shaninigans. I have to go to my maps, others before me, to make this work. I want the haters to come out because that means I'm doing something right. It's time for me to work on this plan. Things will fall into place with prayer, meditation and action. Prayer + Meditation + Action = Results. Even with unfavorable results I can learn what I should do and what shouldn't I do. Let the journey continue.
