What do you see as the future of Detroit*?

How would you spend your energy if you were responsible for helping to make it a better place?

Do you believe that the rest of the world will once again hold Detroit in High Esteem?

We were world leaders for much of the 20th century. I believe with a couple of the right adjustments, we can be right there again.

My team and I are right now putting some finishing touches on a software that can change our city's economy. I'm very excited about this and you will hear more about it soon.

Prior to that I wanted to share one way you can help change the attention Detroit gets in the national media:

By Voting for EmpowerMind in the Pepsi Refresh Challenge

EmpowerMind offers a very unique learning system that helps students of all ages recognize the genius that is in them. EmpowerMind meets students where they are and helps them learn in a manner that is comfortable and consistent with their learning style.

We have been blessed to have Kimberly Kassner (founder of EmpowerMind-her profile is featured on our homepage) present at a couple of our MCC Live sessions and participants were blown away. She helped us memorize a list of 20 words (in order) in under 2 minutes. All attendees were able to do it because of the teaching methodology.

What does this have to do with Detroit?

EmpowerMind is right now competing to win $250,000 in the Pepsi Refresh Everything Challenge. When they win, EmpowerMind will provide their learning system to 400 student athletes in the Detroit Public School system. And that's just the start of the program.

We all know how important the children are to our future. As such, it's easy to see how properly educating Detroit's children is even more important to it's future. We can work together to make that future better by spending less than one minute a day to VOTE FOR EMPOWERMIND everyday between now and September 30.

This idea will work for the students in Detroit as it has worked for thousands of others students Kimberly and her team have taught over the past 19 years.

If Kevin Smith, The Detroit Lions and Mayor Bing are willing to support this idea I'm hopeful you too can take a moment to do so. Please CHECK OUT EMPOWERMIND and don't forget to vote and share with those you know.

As always, do let us know what we can do for you!

Be Your Best You-

Terry Bean
