Make Money and Build Wealth With Ephren Taylor The Social Capitalist

From short warm vacation to cold snowy reality

I've just returned from Ft. Lauderdale and beautiful 85 degree weather.  Now my little one-day vacation is over and the work week begins. Back to spreading my message of empowerment and building better urban communities. Granted, I love what we do at City Capital and AmoroCorp but in Kansas City I returned to 3-5 inches of snow and sub-30-degree weather.  Even though the fun and challenge of being a successful entrepreneur keeps me warm all over, coming back to snow and cold is a sobering dose of reality! 

Needless to say I am seriously thinking about a second home in a more warmer climate!

Participating in Jessie Jackson's Wall Street Project

It looks like yours truly is headed to the Big Apple at o'dark AM.  I am actually going up to speak at Jesse Jackson's Wall Street Project.  You can read more about it online here http://www.wallstreetproject.org/news/1-3.html .  I and a dynamic team of panelists will be discussing the transition of leadership to the new kids on the block. Additionally we'll be addressing a broad range of issues including politics, economics, and taking on the battle of economic equality.  Should be a hoot.

3:30PM � 5:00 PM
SESSION II: MOVIN� ON UP: WHO�S GOT NEXT? 

This session will advocate the importance of �strategic connectivity�. This principal encourages owners of small businesses, corporate executives and other professionals to recognize the power of working together. This seminar will highlight ways in which young professionals can begin the process of discovering successful minority-owned businesses, critical relationship building and solidifying networks which ultimately increases our economic strength.

This should be fun.  Also got word that I may have a big break on National TV while I am there.  That would be a nice change of pace and really help get the word out about the work we do at City Capital Corporation (OTC: CCCN) and AmoroCorp (OTC:AORO).  I look forward to making it happen.

BlackJack Hijacking!

Yesterday I was robbed!  It wasn't a New York City-style mugging, but I felt just as criminally relieved of my property. Let me explain.  My lovely wife MeShelle and I decided to go to a local arcade called Power Play here in Kansas City. It was just the two of us on a date. Before you shriek about how could any man take his lady to an arcade for a date you have to understand that I made and sold video games when I was 12 and my wife has had me on lockdown for the 4 years we have been married.

So we hop in the bimmer and drive down to the place.  I immediately hopped on one of those new boxing simulators and quickly discovered how out of shape I am. In the process my cell phone disappeared - it was either misplaced or misappropriated. How and when it happened I don't know but someone is riding around out there with my new Samsung Blackjack, a Christmas gift from my team.

Not surprisingly, it wasn't returned so I'm out of luck and it's off to Cingular to get a new one. Luckily, I still have the trusty BlackBerry (or CrackBerry as they call it) for backup.  Works flawlessly even after I drop it three times a day.

Meanwhile someone is probably making $400 selling my Blackjack on eBay right now. Moral of the story is keep up with your phone.

Ephren Taylor is entering the world of blogging

It's ironic a guy who made his money in the web 1.0 has waited till 2007 to jump onto the blogging bandwagon.  Well after about two years of research and procrastination, I have finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and head first into the world of blogging.   

The first challenge was figuring out what in the world to blog about?  Well for years I have been trying to discover my passion, but whether I want to admit it or not I am addicted to deals and wealth creation.  So, this led me to get it out of my system by blogging about it.

So fortunately for some of the underachievers out there I will be sharing my tips, strategies for creating wealth, protecting it, sheltering it and holding on it.  Also we won't be touching too much on six figure deals, but more on building things that lead to the coveted billionaire status. 

Also for good humor I plan to shed some light on the fabulous life of Ephren Taylor, II and what makes him tick as a father, husband, business man, tycoon, and billionaire in the making. 

So stay tune check back often, read, learn, digest and apply to your life and hopefully you can join me on a path towards nine figure wealth.  And be sure to post your comments and questions while you're here!
