your career. - Jennifer Ritchie Payette

ī âLearn to fish (income),
ī share your fish (community service),
ī teach others to fish (multiply yourself).
ī Then find another sidestream, with
different fish (diversify income).
ī And before THAT sidestream dries up,
ī plant a garden (manage risk),
ī like Thomas Jefferson (genius) would have
done.â
ī Jennifer Ritchie Payette

21. Rex Nettleford
ī in his inimitable way,
ī long ago reminded us that
the foundation of the
Jamaican economy was
created by the bottom third of
the class (room),
ī those with less academic
achievements, that left
school and went out and
created businesses.
ī They then hired the top third of
the class to run those
businesses.
22. âPathways to Prosperityâ
ī One of the major reasons for Jamaica
continuing to be poor is because we have
not succeeded in unlocking the
entrepreneurial productive capabilities of
the majority of our people.
ī To a large extent our socialization mantra
for the majority of our people has been
and still is â
ī"Go to school, study hard, pass your
exams then go beg a job".
23. We are now in The New Work
Order.
ī It is no longer muscle of the masses toiling
in the cane field and factories that drive
the economy.
ī It is now brain power driving intellectually
based enterprises that powers knowledge
based economies.
ī The requirement today is for the top third
of the class to go out and create the jobs
for the rest of the class,
ī if Jamaica is to be able to evolve into new economies
that runs the world.
24. Post Colonial and Post Independence
Jamaica
īhad a different dynamics than
we do today.
īThe realities of the global,
regional and especially the
national economy
īis that job growth has been
disproportionate to population
growth.
25. The Prediction Today
ī Globally, 2 Billion jobs will be lost
between now and 2030.
ī These will be replaced by new jobs
īcreated by and for the new
economy.
ī If we are to move this country
forwards we must stimulate
ī âNew Pathway to
Productivityâ
26. The Purpose of This Intervention
Is To Do Just This
ī We have identified six (6) pathways
which we believe that if we energize them
and proportionately shift more of our
people's consciousness in these
directions,
ī all built around owning the means of
production;
īwe will create a more secure
future
