PNC Program Book

I’m happy and thankful that soooo many have joined us for the 22nd Annual PowerNetworking Conference (PNC) and the 37th Anniversary of FraserNet, Inc... what a ride! Your love and support have been “awe” inspiring.

Thank you for taking the time, making the investment and sacrifices to better yourself and, by proxy, improve our community. Each of you are leaders and change agents. You’re poised and ready to master the work necessary to change and grow your life and the lives of those whom you touch and influence. It was Margaret Mead who said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

This year will be our most important ever. Why? We are launching at PNC 2023 “The Legacy Project” the Black Business Legacy Hall of Fame, Museum & Metaverse, to include The Global Center for Black Entrepreneurial Leadership…more about this during the program. Celebration, recognition, and modeling of Black business excellence in everything we do must be our focus.

Black Excellence 2.0 is not a goal it is an expectation, this will help us to Connect, Grow & Prosper so we can Learn, Earn and Return. Our promise is simple; to raise our consciousness and trust among each other, to build our capacity to grow our businesses and finances and to provide you access to powerful contacts for more effective networking, collaboration, coaching and training. This will lead to the manifestation of the “Learn, Earn and Return” I’ve been talking and writing about for two generations. Thank you for joining us, make your investment of time, talent & treasure worth it, and yes, we are worth it.

How to

Power Networking PROTOCOLS 1

Do your research first. Think about the person that you make contact with and list what you have to offer and present it first. For example, make a mutually beneficial introduction; share your expertise or excellence. Provide valuable information, but all must be helpful to the person with whom you are trying to build a relationship.

2

Lead with a thank you…and/or a compliment. Thank them for their time, for taking the call, for their email or letter. Thank them for sharing, listening, referring, responding to an email, letter, or call. Said another way, open the call with enthusiasm and positive reinforcement.

3

Making a proper introduction. Learn and use the FraserNet 20 second “sound bite” formula. Discover those things you have in common (such as a fraternity, sorority, personal referral,hobbies, colleagues and friends, etc.).

4

Build rapport. Add value first; help them with their wealth, health, or children. Be clear and concise on why you’re making the contact and what you’re seeking. Don’t force people to guess your agenda or request something they cannot and/or are not prepared to do. Give the relationship time to grow.

5

Follow-up with a thank you note. Let your contact know what occurred (resulted) if they recommended a course of action or a referral.

Please remember PowerNetworking is not a job fair, but a business fair, it is a place where you build new relationships. How do you build new relationships?

“You find common ground/bonds and build trust over time. The higher the trust the more willingness a person has to share their resources, opportunities, and key contacts. Yes, it is through loving, giving, and serving relationships, that things get done. Opportunities will present themselves only after a strong and trusting relationship has been built. So in the relationship building, PowerNetworking world, slow is good and fast is bad.” – George C. Fraser

Meet The Two Stock Trading Experts Who Created A FUN and EASY Game to Teach African Americans How To Trade Options J.R. Fenwick, CEO of FLip That Stock (known as “The Stock FLipper”) and Eric Johnson, CEO of Cubicle Investing (known as “The Options Professor”) have been trading in the stock market for over 20 years. They met over 8 years ago and became fast friends and business partners. They have helped over 35,000 people learn about the stock market.

Many perceive the stock market as too complex, time consuming and expensive to get involved in. J.R. and Eric specialize in teaching beginners a FUN, Non Complicated and Non-Intimidating way to learn the stock market and become “ACTIVE Traders”.

Most recently they collaborated and developed “FLip That Option” a FUN and EASY game to teach beginners how to trade options. Trading Options offers the unique ability to make money DAILY, WEEKLY and MONTHLY. “We are committed to teaching as many people as possible the valuable and life changing skill of trading options”, says J.R. and Eric.

Their FLip That Option game teaches: What is an option, How to make money DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY trading options, How to open a special account to trade options, How to find options to trade and various option strategies, all while using the latest technology to trade.

Additionally, they have a private online community that includes LIVE Weekly Trainings and Recordings, Teaching Modules and Live Chat and Alerts daily.

Since launching the game in May 2023, their students have been enjoying tremendous success. The app for the FLip That Option game will be released by the end of the year.
