I was born in Ethiopia; my family immigrated to the US when I was 3 years old and I was raised in Northern Virginia. I was always a good student, and ended up attended the University of Virginia, studied Cognitive Neuroscience, and minored in African and African American Studies. Also, I had a pre-med background; after I graduated I completed an internship through Harvard Medical School but ultimately decided that I did not want to become a doctor. Around the same time I was introduced to mentors who revealed to me how to develop real wealth in America. Today I work full-time as a Program Coordinator for a mental health non-profit, in governance, research and policy, but outside of that I am developing assets through social commerce and securing my financial independence.
Bill Bice has always been an entrepreneur, starting his first company at age 14, putting on road races with corporate sponsors. At 18, he started ProLaw Software, which was so successful that it later sold to Thomson Reuters. Having built or invested in over 25 companies, he got so frustrated in trying to get great marketing for his companies that he decided to take on the problem himself. A programmer at heart, Bill founded Boomtime, tackling marketing as a technology problem. Bill can easily identify common business and marketing pitfalls, so his aim is to enable smaller businesses to more effectively compete with their larger competitors through effective marketing, primarily word of mouth.
