Press Room
With her heart set on owning a business, Cynthia completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and started driving down the path of wife and stay at home mother. During that time, Cynthia turned a ten-year corner to be one of the youngest women ever to be elected to a school board. She also served on the board of directors for The American Red Cross, The Girl Scout Council, and The Salvation Army. As successful as this was - so successful in fact that Cynthia received many awards, certificates, was recognized by the NAACP for outstanding leadership and received a resolution from the California State Senate, her desire was to own her own business. At forty, Cynthia found herself divorced, no job, and no place to live. Her heart was still set on having her own business “someday”, but those words rang in her ear. “Get a good job.” So she put her drive in reverse, completed a Masters in Instructional Technology and began teaching college part time. She went on to open a Learning Center for the Toro Company where she taught a number of classes onsite. When The Toro Company laid off over 600 people, Cynthia saw an opportunity to follow her dream of business ownership. She took everything she had and opened a franchise. Her business was successful, but not successful enough to remain open. Giving up was never an option for Cynthia. She read John Maxwell’s book Failing Forward, which forever changed her concept of failure. More determined than ever to succeed at entrepreneurship, Cynthia teamed up with her daughter to start a business services company. Their goal was to become the most sought after marketing company on the West Coast. In 2006, they discovered the Count Me In campaign and joined hundreds of thousands of women who declared a commitment to be a million-dollar company by the year 2010. At that time, they re-wrote their business plan and took their company online. Today, the Energy Tour Cafe is poised to be one of the most sought after Internet Marketing companies Internationally. Today, the words in Cynthia's ear have been replaced with Will Rogers’ words, “Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.”

Business Growth Expert Cynthia Renee Frazier
The road to entrepreneurship for Cynthia has been a winding curvaceous bumpy road that twists through 25 years of preparation. Cynthia has always wanted to be an entrepreneur. She took business classes in high school, and she talked about having her own business with everyone who would listen. Yet, as a baby boomer, Cynthia was encouraged to “get a good education” so that she could “get a good job” so that she could “have a nice retirement.” Cynthia was also encouraged to get married and focus on the family.
