Las Vegas-Worst City for Unemployment

Unemployment in Las Vegas is at 15%, almost six points above the national average. There are now nine unemployed individuals for every advertised job in Sin City, making it the nation's hardest place to find a job. Sunbelt cities like Las Vegas dominate the list of the most difficult metro areas for finding a job.

This is why I am baffled about the response WeSaveUMore is receiving concerning it's participation in a Grant competition. WeSaveUMore can win a $250,000 grant to build their business, and use it specifically to hire 15 unemployed individuals in Las Vegas. All that is required is for individuals, especially Las Vegas residents to allocate 1 minute per day to vote for the project at www.refresheverything.com/wesaveumore.

It makes sense, except noone cares. Unless someone does something about it, how is Las Vegas going to ever recover and lower the unemployment level. Short of Las Vegans leaving the city and moving to other areas.

It is mindboggling and frustrating as I speak with government and non-government organizations, who all have told me to my face that they applaud the concept. However, when it has come time to help spread the word and vote for the project, where did they go?????

Pepsi Refresh Everything Grant

We need votes to win $250,000 before the end of November. Please vote at www.refresheverything.com/wesaveumore or text 104186 to Pepsi (73774).

Bewildered About Las Vegas and Concern for Unemployment

We are up for a $250,000 grant from Pepsi-Refresh Everything contest. Our project is awesome, "To Reduce Las Vegas Jobless by creating a company to hire unemployed".

The concept makes sense: a startup business can bring $250,000 in revenue to a FAILING Las Vegas economy that leads the nation in unemployment at 15%. We will initially start by creating 15 jobs, and hiring 15 employees off the unemployment line, thereby restoring the employees confidence and sense of pride.

All that is needed is the business and government community to stand behind it, and for the residents of Las Vegas to also support it. It theoretically takes 1 minute per day to vote. Calculations show that if 40,000 residents voted daily, we would bring the $250,000 into Las Vegas' economy. Voting can be done at www.refresheverything.com/wesaveumore or after registering at the website, texting 104186 tp Pepsi (73774).

I have met with many government and non-government organizations, pillar community members and they all say it is a great idea. Well, I am still waiting for the support.

Now I need to take matters into my own hands. This is too important an issue to let go of, and I am confident that if Las Vegans and the Nation hears about this project, we will receive the votes.

More to come..........................................

We're Still Here! Growth is on the Horizon...

Hello World!

As we want to share with you the many challenges, up and downs and encouraging developments to create a million dollar company; our blogspots are evidence of the sometime distractions that come about.

Embarking on changing the world, one community at a time, our focus has been taken from writing on our many websites, replaced by going to meetings with local governmental agencies designed to help the entrepreneur, also participating in local chamber of commerce events, and even seeking out "Angel investors and venture capitalists".

This is fun and exhausting at the same time. We are now considering if we should do a video compilation of the real growing pains of business development for the novice entrepreneur.

Our findings have proven that most of the organizations have not experienced a business owner showing up as prepared, subsequently leaving them 'scratching their heads" and wondering ...... "so what do you want me to do for you?"

How do you answer that question......especially if you don't need help writing the business plan, and you already know that qualifying for the "micro-loan" programs is questionable, and it is apparent that you know more than the advisor sitting in front of you.

We are finding out and will let you know!

Keep checking back with us! Even as I sit here and write this post, I am reminded of the dozen meetings scheduled for next week, some of which I already know are not going to yield my intended results, however the exposure of the project is the understated value we will receive.

Please don't misunderstand, this is not a gripe session.... just my chance for your to look into the reality of what you too may find as you go into the world of small-to-medium sized business ownership.... STAY ENCOURAGED!
