viewing the Division One International website

Division One International is a business, and I am hoping that our associates will treat DOI as a business. trying to get people to particioate in anything is hard. people these days just don't care to get involved with much these days. our website is http://ld.net/?22543008 and I am hoping that people will go to the internet and look for this site.
it has taken alot of work to get DOI up and running. and Iwish people would consider doing something more positive and constructive with their lives. coming to our website does not cost a dime. we just ask you to join us. Division One International is now thirteen years old. we are still a young company but we are growing very fast. I have to go over all of this over and over again.
It a tough thing to keep going. but I am now the only person willing to keep Division One International above water.but I have tried to get minorities to help but they prefer more mainstream businesses.
I cannot stop them from this however I do hope that they do get more work hours out of that. employment is not as plentiful as it once was. a person is lucky to get anytype work available these days.

The moment of waiting for business

As I often have wondered, why does it take some people like myself of course to fit in with the crowd. having grown up in the 1950s I can truly see that times have changed. sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worst. as I travel from city to city and town to town, I see the make up of various business tactics.
in many african american operated businesses there is alot of vast discrimination in the system.
and this has been going on for many, many years. the sad thing is that there is no end to this community unfairness. I have gone as far as bringing in the poorest of poor people who were in my opinion very smart people they were just placed on the back burner. and fell through the cracks as they were lacking the skills needed to get jobs and housing, to create a business is a good thing but when you are trying to promote your business, it is hard to reach many people.
so how do you reach a audience that fears their own community. how do you curve this hate or jealousy maybe.
trying to create good relations is very important, but it is often very hard to do this with your own race. especially amongst african americans. we have such a violent streak of hate within us
that the anger and rage will make us take a life without question.
so how do we create good business relations. within the african american community. without all of the rage within us. for this moment of waiting for business can be both frustrating and confusing. I created Division One International. a business that I am very proud to have.
I listen to people who are unemployed and homeless, I listen to their struggles. and I try to be very compassionate to their needs. waiting for business and how often disappionting that it can be. with the opportunity that you have created for people is something tyhat you should be fond of. but what about the people who will not respond to your offers.
I often ask myself would I have done better if I have been a main stream business.

To build an entreprise not just a company

We stand proud of Division One International. a partnership which sells wholesale and retail items of every sort and style. as I bring in partners of every skill level. I am sure that Division One International will thrive on for years to come. I only hope that after I am gone my most trusted associates will continue to keep Division One International operating.
It would be ashamed to lose such a good business after spending many years of building it up. many of you truly need jobs. and the more jobs the more the economy rolls. a productive workforce is what america needs to continue its mission as a superpower. at Division One International, we have not just building a company, we want Division One International to be a world wide enterprise.and this will be the mission from here on out. loser companies I don't deal with. Division One International is a winning company and we will always be the front runner, in our field of expertise. in a complex world we need a complex business, and this is where Division One International takes the lead.

Recognizing a partnership

As I begin to write my story on how Division One International became a partnership. my partners are showing much interest in being apart of the company. to all mof them I thank them. to all of them I give the highest credit.
maybe it is a little uneasy seeing a minority business prosper. especially a black owned operated business. this still america, and mainstream america still has tgis thing about blacks, that blacks are not very good at being good leaders. no matter how much education blacks get.
I do protest to this. even other blacks have the habit of putting their own people down.recognizing a partnership is one of my many challenges. and for everyone whobecame partners thank you.

The Partnership-Division One International

As a partnership Division One International now has several partners across america. I am thrilled to know that there are so many people willing to work with me in my company.
as we have relocated from Washington DC to Seattle Washington, business has shown much improvement. I was very disappointed in Washington DC. I had expected more from the nations capitol. as I promote DOI. going from place to place is often a good tool to use, however it can also be very draining to an individual. to all of my partners at Division One International, I wish to thank you for your time and your sacrifice.
many times we will be confronted by corporate giants wanting to take over our enterprise, but I will not give in to being sold over to a larger firm. as a minority owned business we will have to work twice as hard to be recognized. we are in america. and as a minority firm we are the invisible people. I do strongly depend upon your assistance, and only you are the most important team at Division One International. I will be sending out more and more information as to what a partnership is and what a partnership does.
it is very vital that we as a team be very educated on what we sell and to whom we are selling our products to. the guidelines to operating a partnership will be placed on the forms given to you. the various articles will be outlined for you. I trust that you will read all rules and regulations regarding a partnership.

Working on a long lost friendship

As I try to recapture friendships from years past, I have felt many times that I need to create a good relationship with everyone, of course there are some people that very often you just cannot get along with no matter what you do. alot of prejudice and hate plays into this. there are people who I have known for years but never really cared to get involved with. but then I never really took the time to get to really know that person.
and this sort of thing goes on with all people of every background. as americans we don't trust one another, we will not look each other in the eye. we are afraid to greet one another in a friendly manner, what is wrong with americans, and no matter where we go a hostile shield goes up when we try to meet a person, this is especially true in the african american community. there is so much hostility in black america that it is unreal. I would just wish that americans in general would stop all of this walking around with chips on their shoulder. what is it that we must prove. there is alot of fight shows on television, and americans are feeding into this like a magnet. what are we trying to prove. why are we trying to prove something. I would like to like in a world where this is peace love and harmony.
but then again this is america, there is no such thing in america. I am always hearing everywhere I go about who is going to whip whose behind. F-this, F-that, that's all I hear anymore. ridiculous. just ridiculous,

Working a Mega Enterprise

As I continue to promote Division One International. it appears that I am getting the long awaited support that I have always been looking for. choosing the west coast was not the best choice but I do believe it was a smart choice. Seattle appears to be a good city to do business in. probaly far better than Atlanta was. I like Atlanta, but that city has gone to the dogs, and when ever I pass through there, I can see the deadness of that city. my goal is too make Division One International a mega enterprise. and in order to do that, I have look at cities like New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, and possibly Toronto Canada,
Los Angeles could be a venture for me but there is so much corruption in LA, I will have to re-think Los Angeles. I bring in people that I feel that will make good candidates to DOI, and I find these people in the most unusual places, places that you would never imagine finding prospective associates. but Division One International is moving forward. and my hopes of making this business successful is working far better than expected. we as a company are beginning to make money. we now have customers in China, Japan, Australia, India, Guam,
and all of the countries in Europe, Division One International is International. and I happy to be the first to say how honored that I am to be this company's chairman. our Telecommunications site can be logged onto http://ld.net/?22543008 and this is the key to what made us world wide. I would like to thank my first partner Lakisha Conyers for great enthusiasm and interest, and later my second partner Stacie Johnson in the Washington DC area. Alvin dixon-El and Arthur Mathis and everyone that decided to become apart of Division One International.
with your help and interest Division One International has pulled to the head of the pack. we were once known as the small business with the big corporate name, no longer, we are now up front with the heavy hitters. and we do plan to remain thais way, for as long as I am in charge of Division One International, we will continue to hold our own.

Mallory is not only a businessman, but he is a Journalist, Novelist, member of the local chamber of commerce in Seattle Washington, he is the writer and author to the mystery series Marvin Hammerman which has gained him wide recognition. in 1971 Mallory was recognized as an honorary citizen, Mallory also served in the U.S. Navy (1976-1984) and his service is greatly appreciated. Mallory created Division One International with the hope of providing employment to those who truly desire to make their lives better. Mallory is an advocate for the poor and homeless, when asked what inspired him to take up such a cause his response was' after growing up poor myself and seeing how poor people are treated less than human, I decided that enough was enough, poor people have rights just the same as everyone else. they have a right to go to other places as well as average people do. and they should never be banned from a place just because they don't dress properly or talk with a high level of education.
Mallory has worked with organizations such as the National Coalition for the Homeless an advocacy group in Washington DC, that monitors the events that surrounds the homeless in America. as Division One International grows so will its customer base. and to log onto the long distance website go to http://ld.net/?22543008 the charity fundraiser website is www.magfundraising.com/divoneintern DOI sells many, many, things and catalogs are available upon request. and to learn more please call (206) 279-3884
