/24-7PressRelease/ - COLUMBIA, SC, March 08, 2008 - Terrence Warren practices what he preaches. Watching Terrence successfully manage all the business endeavors he has going is like seeing illustrations from his book come alive. That book is From The Gutter to Glory: A Broke Man's Guide To Starting A Business. Terrence's popular how-to book is soon to be released a second time with additional information, including a chapter on the art of negotiating. You'll find seven great negotiating tips you can put to use immediately.
An open and honest autobiography, From The Gutter to Glory is a detailed guide on starting and managing businesses. It offers a look at the different types of businesses, and guides the reader through business structures with the pros and cons of each. Terrence's book is about real life in the business world—his own journey and lessons learned that he offers to other entrepreneurs.
"I was that average guy living paycheck to paycheck and was tired of someone else managing my time," explains Terrence. "Working hard for a little amount of money got so annoying that I decided to change my situation. I had no degree, bad credit, and hardly any money, but with sheer determination and perseverance, I attained my goals despite what anyone said. I never let my color, upbringing, where I came from, or social status be a reason for failure."

New Business Ventures
Terrence wrote From Gutter To Glory to give hope to the masses and let them know that "Anyone can start a business, as long as they're willing and determined to do what it takes to get in the door." The book was written to convey Terrence Warren's voice to the world.
He is putting that belief to practice in the backing of three new businesses.
Reeltvonline.com
Reeltvonline.com is a website designed for the internet surfer who enjoys a good television program. Today, people have a much broader perspective of the world and often seek to be entertained while absorbing different cultures around the world as witnessed on websites like youtube.com. Reeltvonline.com is being developed to help fill that gap. This venture will be a family-oriented online television channel that is due to launch March 2008. Terrence Warren saw this as a viable project, so he contacted the site's founder and is now part owner of the company.
Having an aggressive entrepreneural spirit, Terrence saw the opportunity to incorporate merchandising with online viewership. Through his exporting experience, he designed a way to pair producers with product lines to sell while being streamed from reeltvonline.com. This concept has been well received by producers and enables the site to get viable and strong programming.
Reeltvonline will have its own in-house video production suite where Terrence will executive produce original programming. Through his business networking, he is also using his manufacturing contacts to acquire opportunities for merchandising for the online TV network. According to Warren "shows that generate a large viewer base will have products endorsed and promoted to be sold in the Reeltvonline store."
The network will also broadcast a show hosted by Terrence Warren which will allow him to share his knowledge and passion to help aspiring entrepreneurs.
Warren wants entrepreneurs to create television shows, short films and animation skits to display their talent and skills. Terrence Warren and the vision of Reel TV Online will create many stars.
"The company is currently acquiring broadcast quality programming of all genres," Terrence says. Reel TV Online is a family network; therefore, obscene videos will not be considered. The network encourages a range of offerings, including Public Service Announcement (PSA) spots from educational and charitable organizations and music videos to pre-shot commercials. Reelonlinetv.com will change how programming and viewership is presented to the world, and Terrence Warren is on the ground floor of this exciting business.
Terrence has also recently backed other ventures.
Fabulous Black Woman
"I have just acquired as a subsidiary an exciting new company, "Fabulous Black Woman," says Terrence. "The head of the company—the original fabulous black woman-- is Eddie Simpson who has developed Eddie's Naturals, a wonderful line of products for soft, healthy and manageable hair - everything you need for gorgeous black hair. She has made these luxurious products with the finest natural African Butters, natural vegetable herbs and oils, and essential fragrances. I'm very pleased to have Eddie and her products as part of my business. These are high-end, must-have products that will sell themselves."

Crystal Glass Cosmetics
Terrence is also announcing the backing of a new makeup line that has created a buzz during the Fall New York Fashion Week. The cosmetics line is Crystal Glass Cosmetics, owned by Crystal G. Warner.
"The cosmetics line has been written up in major magazines as an up and coming hot new item for the spring/summer," said Terrence. "Crystal has a sponsor at Fashion TV that's ready to place the cosmetics in an article for Vogue Magazine." Terrence adds another positive point to the business, "As a bonus, the cosmetics line will be designed to aid the teen art program with scholarships at their own community dance center, by donating 25 percent of the profits. As we all know, it's not all about the business. It's also about giving back to our communities."

By investing in these businesses, Terrence shows that he believes these individuals are also willing and determined to do what it takes to succeed.
Intrigue Magazine: The definitive publication for professional networking
Terrence is announcing another new business link. He has recently affiliated with Intrigue Magazine, a national publication intended to promote, network, and encourage positive relationships between business owners, entrepreneurs, and artists. Born out of networking and collaboration and dedicated to both, this quarterly publication will launch March 28, 2008.
"In today's marketplace, business people know that what matters is who knows you, who believes in you, and who refers others to you," said Terrence. "This magazine will encourage that networking which is the heartbeat of our success."
A big part of that networking is with young people. Terrence has a passion for being a mentor and role model for young people. "I feel that I had to endure the gutter in order to have an appreciation and a respect for the things I would attain," Terrence says. "Through the years I've accummulated a vast amount of knowledge, and I would like to use that to inspire and motivate people to change their situation. Young kids today are looking at the wrong people as role models, and those people are the ones enforcing the negative stereotypes and making the rest of us look bad. Not only that, but it makes it even harder for young black entrepreneurs to start businesses because of the negativity surrounding us already enforced by those bad role models. So, I would like to pick up the slack left by them. I'm proud of everything I've done and accomplished, and I didn't have to compromise my beliefs to achieve them. Let my light shine for everyone to see, because I came from a mighty long way."
Terrence Warren lives by a great quote from Henry David Thoreau: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined."
