About My Business

The Black Business Cafe is a Social Networking Organization comprised of highly motivated and successful entrepreneurs and small business owners that are very passionate about starting and growing a successful business. The BBC bring Business Owners together to establish relationships, through networking and education awareness through business coaching, live tele-classes, bootcamps, Ask the expert tele-classes, tele-bootcamps and various small business resources. The BBC Goal is to provide comprehensive "how to" information that will teach members how to effectively network and successfully market their business. The Black Business Cafe', unlike a typical cyber cafe, is a start-up business providing a unique forum for communication and entertainment through the medium of the Internet and various face to face events. The Black Business Cafe' is the answer to an increasing demand. The public wants: (1) access to the methods of communication and volumes of information now available on the Internet, and (2) access at a cost they can afford and in such a way that they aren't socially, economically, or politically isolated. The Black Business Cafe's goal is to provide the community with a social, educational, interactive, atmosphere for worldwide communication.

Why I Started My Business

I started The BBC after being pushed out of the mortgage industry after 13 years due to the decline in the market and the shut down of the mortgage company that I had my own branch under. The BBC was formed to allow for and to teach people have to build business, have more than one stream of income and create a business network for themselves. The worst thing is to lose it all and have nothing to fall back on, not even a person.
So that is why I started The Black Business Cafe...to help people create and build their own network of people and resources to have something to fall back on and prevent others from being where I was with the fall of the Mortgage Industry.
