About CETalks: The Black Entrepreneur’s Mid-Month Motivation
To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of CPDollars.com, we are launching CETalks: The Black Entrepreneur’s Mid-Month Motivation. CETalks was created to gather information from established black-owned business owners that could help newer business owners succeed. I believe the passing of knowledge is definitely needed especially with the fluctuation of people opening businesses but not knowing what to do. During the show, I will sit down with other black entrepreneurs/business owners and have an open and honest conversation about their business
This month our motivation is coming from Mark Buford. Mark is a partner in MOT Design & Development a full-scale real estate development firm. In his role, he oversees equity/debt partner relationships and the financing of new development projects. He also works closely with underwriters and investors to find optimal capital structures for MOT. Mark is skilled in implementing effective risk assessment and risk mitigation strategies while finding financing solutions, which allow the company to fund innovative development projects. MOT is currently proposing a 17-story high rise development in South Shore neighborhood of Chicago, the first of its kind in over 60 years.

It's Women's History Month!
With that being said you know I have to highlight a Black Woman Owned Business. This months motivation is coming from Robiar Smith. Robiar is the owner of R.B. Pest Solution. R.B Pest Solutions start in 2016 and specializes іn providing effective and reliable реѕt соntrоl ѕоlutіоnѕ in thе rеѕіdеntіаl and соmmеrсіаl рrореrtу. Although she initially struggled to pass the exam, she has taken the brand and company to new heights. You can find The R.B. Premium Products' "Bug Strike" on Home Depot's website.
My favorite bar from Robiar was "The representation is great because it teaches people that trades along with education in these multi billion dollar spaces in essential, they're not going anywhere so they're great fields to go into". She shared a lot of great information on how she got started and what has kept her going.
