About Us
Our Hope Network, Inc. and Business Association is an organization made up of American business people in Memphis, the Mid-South and eventually across the country. Our organization is open to any ethnic person or group who wants to become a member. We work together to unite, empower and create wealth in our community with our programs. The association provides networking opportunities through monthly meetings, trade shows, internet listings, discount savings programs as well as financial and professional resources to our members and potential members.
The biggest problem in our community and in this country is our lack of knowledge and communication. God has given us the power to create wealth in all of us but most people don't have a true understanding of business. All business is a finding need or fixing a problem and filling that need better than any one else out there. It is that simple! Our solution to this problem is also simple. We must create networking opportunities as well optional ways to earn and save money.
To do this we must first try to do business with each other by finding qualified businesses in our local community to send our money with. Second, if we are not qualified we must improve our skills, quality of service or product line through work shops and training sessions. Third, we must identify major corporations and companies that offer programs to save us money. If part of the thousands of dollars that we spend with other people that we don't know was spent with many of our associate members we would be able to create new businesses, expand existing ones which would allow are associate members to hire, retain, grow and provide a living wage for their employees as well as health benefits. Finally, if we are successful through our networking we will be able help other like minded who are currently unemployed or underemployed go into business for them selves and become an asset to their communities.
The Organizations History
Our Hope Network, Inc. was created in 2009 by founder Wayne Williams and Co-founders Rena Jones and Varonica R. Cooper. Wayne Williams is a licensed insurance agent in the Memphis Metro Area. Rena Jones and Gregory Jones are the owners of “Tastee Fruitee Smoothie”. Varonica R. Cooper is a praticing business Attorney in the Memphis and Mid-South area. We created Our Hope Network, Inc. as a way to not only market their business to new insurance customers but to also help others prosper, grow and support his families. Their vision and a mission was to bring like-minded business people together into network and share information for the primary purpose of empowerment and the creation of prosperity and wealth in our communities.
Many people may have heard the phrase "Money Never Goes Away, It Only Changes Hands". This statement is 100% true; there has never been a shortage of money in the United States in our country's 234 year old history. The problem is that only 3% percent of our population control 97% of all the wealth in this country. Our system of capitalism is the best in the world when it works properly. Most of the wealth in our country is created through business ownership, network marketing and entrepreneurship. Our main purpose is to share knowledge, information and try to do business with each other. We will constrantly be adding new information to this website that will help save, improve and create prosperity for our members. Our long term goal is to be a nationwide networking organization with hundreds of members networking and doing business with each other. That is what Our Hope Network, Inc. is all about.
