First Annual Black Millionaires Summit November 7-9: Russell Simmons Headlines
October 14, 2008
click here for tickets, registration and information
African Americans are among the top spenders in the nation but when it comes to wealth accumulation, they’re not in the top five of ethnic groups. A new three-day event aims to change that for good.
The first annual Black Millionaires Summit is the nation’s premier business and wealth building conference for African Americans. Co-founders WNBA Champion, Fran Harris, Ph.D. and bestselling author, Myron Golden conceived the idea after brainstorming about the kind of legacies they wanted to leave their families. “Myron and I are kindred spirits who have a passion for moving our people forward,” said Harris, author of The Intentional Millionaire. “We want to have everlasting impact in the black community — and there’s no better way to make our mark than through economic empowerment.”
Megapreneur and philanthropist, Russell Simmons is among the millionaire entrepreneurs who’ll speak in Dallas at the Black Millionaires Summit on the weekend of November 7-9, 2008. Simmons sold his company Phat Farm for $140 million a few years ago and recently worked with Harris on a fundraiser for his charities. In addition to Simmons, the Summit’s All-Star speaker lineup includes Internet marketing expert, Stephen Pierce, network marketing titan Jerry Clark, financial whiz Cheryl Broussard, and short sale real estate pro, Wahid Shakur.
“We’ve assembled some of the most dynamic and innovative black millionaires on the scene today,” said Golden, who’s sold over 100,000 copies of his self-published book, From The Trash Man to the Cash Man. “We’re teaching people how to build multi-million dollar empires in speaking, publishing, real estate, network marketing, retail, and information products to name only a few. But what’s most exciting is that every person who is smart enough to be in Dallas for this event will leave with a roadmap for sustainable business growth and real wealth creation.”
The Black Millionaires Summit targets new and veteran entrepreneurs across all industries, as well as anyone who’s interested in learning next-level business, success and wealth strategies. Harris urges people not to fall prey to the negativity in the press. “If you listen to the media, they’ll have you believing that the economy’s bad. We disagree. This is the perfect time to make bold moves as an entrepreneur,” said Harris, who recently started two more companies with billion-dollar potential. “This is not the time to give in to fear. On one magical weekend — for the price of a monthly cable bill — attendees will have an experience that will not only transform their lives but also their bank accounts.”
The early bird, basic admission pass for the three-day conference is only $97. To register visit www.BlackMillionairesSummit.com or call (214) 260-7742. There’s also an unlimited BMS Referral Program that pays a 50% commission for every person who attends the event as a result of your referral.
