Nayland House - End of Year Review

Children point at something in South Africa

The Story So Far...

2009 has been a great year for Nayland House. We started the blog in September 2009 after much planning and deliberation. Our intention was to provide the public with the latest news, views, and opinions on Business, Entrepreneurs, Success, and Wealth across the Black Diaspora. We hoped that these stories would highlight the success being achieved by Black People across the world in all kinds of fields. And, this would inspire our readers to chase their own dreams.

Although much work has been done in a short space of time, there's a lot more to do. The blog can be better, slicker and more focused. Reader feedback is important in helping us to achieve these goals. If you have any suggestions for making the blog bigger, better, and greater then let us know. Email naylandhouse@gmail.com

Goals for 2010.
We aim to be as ambitious as the people we cover, and for this reason we've set ourselves some very ambitious goals.

1. Provide more focused content,
2. Focus on Entrepreneurs in unusual and niche markets,
3. Profile more Young (under 30) Entrepreneurs,
4. Feature more stories from the Caribbean and Africa,
5. Keep the look of the site fresh and interesting,
6. Increase our traffic.

With respect to our last goal, current readers can help us achieve this through

- word of mouth,
- adding a link to your own site,
- subscribing to our feed,
- bookmarking our site.

We hope that everybody who reads this blog has set for themselves impressive and inspiring goals. And those goals are achieved far beyond your expectations in 2010. Continue to ride with us, as we journey across the diaspora, highlighting the entrepreneurial endeavours of Black People and inspiring you to achieve your own goals.

Have a very prosperous New Year!

Nayland House

Nayland House is the premier site for news, views and updates on Wealth in the Black Diaspora. We track members of the worldwide Black Business Community, which features: Entrepreneurs, Sport Stars, Media Gods, and High-Ranking Business Executives.

Some of the names mentioned feature on Rich Lists, while others are young up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Some make the mainstream business front pages, while others are new unknown local entrepreneurs.

We cover 'players' making moves in the big cities across the world, as well as the humble small town entrepreneur.

We track how these special people run their businesses, live their lives, and spend their money. As well as revealing the wider economic issues effecting the industries they operate in.

We also scan the volumes of business information on the web to provide the reader with the best articles and advice to inspire readers to follow their own secret desires

Why We Do It.
We do all this for one simple reason - economic empowerment! The single greatest force which will help shape and move the Black Diaspora to dizzier heights.

Economic empowerment is the master key to unlocking the potential of all people and creating a more equal world.

We sincerely hope that all our readers, by following our blog over the coming years, will become more business minded and financially savvy.

It's our passion and desire that those who are lifted and empowered by the wealth of information available will use their forthcoming future success to help and empower their own communities.

Go make that Money!!

The Search for a Black Simon Cowell


If the rumours are to believed Simon Cowell will be leaving the hit show American Idol. These rumours have surfaced before, but what makes them more real second/third time round is that people have actually begun to speculate on who can replace him.

How long can Simon go on? Especially as he is making an absolute 'mint' (loads of money - UK phrase) with UK show The X Factor. The Wall Street Journal has put together a wish list, and some familiar names pop up: Russell Simmons, Matthew Knowles, LA Reid, Babyface, plus other Black Music Executives.

Locked out - Jamaican acts finding it more and more difficult to get into some countries

Locked out - Jamaican acts finding it more and more difficult to get into some countries

If you think it's tough being a music artist these days - what with file sharing, poor cd sales - try being a Jamaican music artist! Artists from Bob Marley's birth place are finding it increasingly difficult to gain visas to tour Europe and America. Of course, it doesn't help when your lyrics are filled with homophobic verses or you have a 'rap sheet' as long as any seasoned gangster.

Touring is becoming the main source of incoming for many Music Artists and the restrictions placed on the Bad Boys of the Music Industry mean they won't fully benefit from this lucrative income stream. The UK's Voice Newspaper has more details here.

All The Single Rich Ladies Just Happen to be Black!


Beyonce sang about 'single ladies', and it became an anthem for 'all the single ladies'. But one can't help noticing that a lot of these successful single ladies are black! At Nayland House we profile successful people from across the diaspora, which often means people making nice sums of money and living large. But success also involves loving relationships. Why is it so many Black Women (42% US) are single? The above video, from ABC, tries to answer the question with the help of comedian Steve Harvey.

Sheena Wright: Major Player in Harlem's Real Estate Game


Depending on your perspective, the walk that Sheena Wright takes to her office each day on Harlem's commercial corridor, 125th Street, represents progress or the death of a community. The abandoned lots that were once weed-filled eyesores now house condominiums and retail chains. Of course, many longtime Harlemites are hard pressed to afford skyrocketing rents.

A demure woman with bronze dreadlocks and generous eyes, Wright, 39, is CEO of the Abyssinian Development Corporation, the community development wing of Harlem's historic Abyssinian Baptist Church. Initially born of a deep-seated need for basic amenities, ADC has changed as much as Harlem itself since it was founded 20 years ago. More here.

Afro-British Films Take Center Stage

Washington Informer

Afro-Brits -- Black people of West Indian, British and African descent living in England; have long been invisible in mainstream popular culture. Even as Afro-Brit filmmakers and actors celebrate their successes, American movie houses have either neglected or given their works short shrift.
“The stories are gripping, but cerebral. They engage your mind,” said Sabrina Roth, 34, an avid collector of Black British fiction that can be seen neatly stacked in piles throughout her Northwest home. Roth numbers among a growing American audience to embrace literature and films by Blacks in Europe, mostly England.

FUNNY - Have You Got Money To Blow?

New Salad bar in Harlem


The area that gave rise to some of the greatest achievements in African-American culture and commerce is now inundated with fast-food restaurants and suffers from high rates of obesity and diabetes.

The unhealthy turn has occurred despite the city’s ban on artery-clogging trans fats, expansion of bike lanes and launch of attack ads on sugary drinks, which are blamed by some health activists for the country’s obesity epidemic.

Into this seemingly fruit- and vegetable-free zone stepped Milo Meed, who earlier this month opened Island Salad, a Caribbean-inspired Harlem eatery that offers customers a made-to-order salad bar. More here.

Cash is King!


“Cash is always king,” says entrepreneur Robert L. Wallace. “If you have cash, it doesn’t matter what is happening in the economy or in the industry, you’ll still be able to weather the storm.”

As president and CEO of BITHGROUP Technologies Inc. (www.bithgroup.com), a Baltimore-based information technology company, Wallace sees the inability or increased lag in securing outside funding as an incentive for small businesses to look within. Turning a sharp gaze on your own operations, inventory, payroll, and practices to potentially uncover financial resources you can then reallocate is a doable and necessary task for any entrepreneur. Here are three ways to speed up and increase inflows while slowing down and reducing outflows.

50 Cent & 'Pikki' - Success Against the Odds

Success against the odds

THE WORDS “It always seems impossible until it’s done,” spoken by Nelson Mandela in 1995 during his ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ speech, has always been a favourite mantra for Nicholas ‘Pikki’ Fearon and Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, as they both feel it reflects their determination and strength.

Despite coming from different walks of life, they share many characteristics. Both Fearon and Jackson are determined to “beat the odds, challenge the status quo, break stereotypes,” and, most importantly, become successful in all things that they do.

Speaking exclusively to The Voice during a special festive photo shoot, the two men, who worked together on hit British film Dead Man Running, shared what keeps them inspired and how they plan to help the younger generation to achieve their goals.
