The world is full of people motivated by getting ahead in life, ahead on the job, and achieving some level of distinction for themselves. The mission of the BCE clothing brand is, to empower and inspire the ‘Progressive Individual’™ to Achieve GREATNESS via the provision of fashionable clothing that embodies a lifestyle of GREATNESS. The reason most of us pursue further education is so that we can progress further in our lives (which is what makes us “progressive”). Keeping in line with the first part of our business mission (to empower and inspire the ‘Progressive Individual’™), we are elated to introduce to the nation the 'BCE Student Entrepreneur Program (SEP)'. SEP is a program where students have the opportunity to learn how to own their own businesses through the BCE clothing brand and earn money in the process selling BCE brand clothing. The goal of the program is to provide students with the satisfying experience of investing their money in a manner that provides more than instant gratification, but generational gratification instead. We aim to admit one student at as many colleges/universities across the nation to the program based on their application submission. Those students selected will be notified and a video call orientation will be arranged. If the video call produces more interest in the candidate, a set of program guidelines will be sent to the candidate. After acknowledging their understanding of the guidelines, students may begin building their businesses during the fall school semester of 2011. The deadline to apply is Friday May 6, 2011. The application can be found at http://www.bceapparel.com/social.html under the heading Clothing Brand Inspires GREATNESS in Students Through Entrepreneurship.
"What inspired this program?" you may wonder. As 2010 came to a close, I was reflecting on my last year of college and as a result, this great way to give back to the community as well as inspire students to Achieve GREATNESS through entrepreneurship came to mind. Those of us who have graduated from college often inevitably find ourselves reflecting on the joy and excitement of those days of “glory” we had. Some of us may even say to ourselves, “dang I was so misguided and sometimes careless in the choices I made, especially with the handling of money”. I personally remember many of my friends and peers mishandling money during those years. For instance, there was one guy I knew that received the infamous “refund check” on Monday and Tuesday arrived at school with a state of the art sound system and a sparkling set of rims on his 19(something), Toyota(something), of which you could see the radiator from the sidewalk without opening the hood because, the front bumper and grill were in a lost and found that was also lost but never found. Unlike many of my peers I was the student that used the extra money I had left after paying tuition and buying books to invest in the stock market. My investments did so well that my last year of college I didn’t have to work. As a matter of fact, I didn’t have to work for a total of 13 months (the time between the start of my senior year and the start of my first job after graduation). I think this is a great way for those who believe they've been blessed with an entrepreneurial spirit to begin nurturing that spirit through practical experience and guidance. I believe a lot of people have the spirit, but don't know when, where, or how to get started. Please pass this along to any college students you know who may be interested in applying for this program.
