More About Bernard:
Bernard Ponder here of the BecomeYourOwnCEO personal & business development company of seven years now!!
Born in College Park & raised between Atlanta, & Lithonia, Ga.
I grew up on the traditional way of thinking, go to school, get good grades, graduate & get that quote on quote good job!!
I did that to a certain extent, lol!!
I graduated from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. High School in Lithonia, Ga where I was part of a championship swim team & the first Snare Drum Player at the school, where I’m currently serving as the first Vice President of the Alumni Association.
I furthered my education to the Florida A&M University in 2006 where I studied broadcast journalism & minored in music production.
While down there I had the opportunity w/ the Marching 100 to perform in Barack Obama’s Inaugural 44th Presidential celebration & parade, two Super Bowl performances one w/ Prince and many other honorable performances.
My passion has always been dance & music, so while down there I got the chance to Dance across the country w/ our male dance group The FAMU Strikers who famously performed on “Americas Best Dance Crew” that won second place against the Quest Crew.
After college I became a federal officer (TSA) trained as a F.A.M, truck driver & so many small jobs to make ends meet being I followed the Bill Gates route and didn’t graduate from College.
I started in the home base business in 2012 and started enjoying the lessons of learning how important your network is & all the many ways you could market a single product.
I took those lessons and started my own company in 2016 called BecomeYourOwnCEO which is a personal & business development company w/ our key service being our #CEOMAP program!!
With this program I’ve been able to help three restaurants, one Church & many small business owners develop their businesses along the journey!!
In 2019 I graduated from the Atlanta School of massage as a Neural Muscular Therapists aka a massage therapists, & took the entrepreneurial route.
We currently have 10 female & male therapists who provide couples, corporate/private events, reflexology, chair massages & much more!!
Also that same year of graduating I opened a home base business that currently offers people a full team of financial experts that does all the work for them.
This allows me w/ my #CEOMAP program to not only help people with their marketing plans yet as well there financial plans to help fund and promote their passions for their lifestyle & legacy!!
