One World, Two Cultures. Endless Possibilities.

Dearborn, Michigan: Meet Ahmad Chebbani. He introduces new Arab Americans to the real heart and soul of their new country.   He represents the United States of America to Arab leaders around the world and helps them to see the profound goodness within this country and he tries to dispel the images they've learn from Hollywood and Madison Avenue.

Ahmad Chebbani and his wife, Michelle, began their accounting business in 1987. Today, they are the busiest single tax preparation office in the USA.

Meet the people of Omnex Accounting. This team makes filing tax returns for 3,500+ individuals and 600+ businesses look easy.

Ahmad was one one of the founders of the American Arab Chamber of Commerce; and as chairman, he has been a key force to organize landmark  international meetings called the US-Arab Economic Forum .  In May of 2008 they pulled together their third such event for the  finance ministers, ambassadors (and other diplomats), and the business people from dozens of Arab nations to meet with the leaders within the USA from the government, business community, and academia. 

Ahmad is a courageous visionary.

* A segment called "The  sliver of genius

"...was part of the earliest broadcasts back in 1994.  We slowly began to realize virtually every successful business is built on that special focus. And, yes, all these people are recommended by their community for their integrity and by their industry for their creativity and courage. Our national sponsors  from IBM, USPS, Verizon, Microsoft, D&B, and others have paid for everything.

Nobody can pay or has every paid to be on this television show.

And, every day should stimulate our imagination and motivations.

Entrepreneurs do not wait for somebody else to do it. They just do it themselves. They take on the big challenges and are not afraid that others will think they are stupid, crazy, or simply a fool. It is so much easier to say, "That's impossible" or "That can't be done."

So what are you waiting for? Do you have that special genius?*
