The Beginning of Something New

200,000 rupiah can you believe it!? Here in 5 minutes I told one person about the magazine and BAM, 200,000! That’s $20. That’s equivalent to what some working girls earn in one night, half for others a quarter for the rest. It’s equivalent to four days work in a good job in an office, 6 days work for a labourer and 10 days work for someone who works at a laundry place. It’s £15 in 5 minutes, even you or I can’t complain about that. It’s brilliant!

It made this chap, John’s his name, feel he was doing something great. For a cause that’s more than just asking for money, but because it’s creating sustainable success AND paying-it-forward! With the other people who’ve committed to the cause that’s 360,000 total raised for the project in 5 days (well 45 minutes if you count the time I’ve spent telling people about the project, interviewing them the rest of the time I was working on the magazine.)

The potential for what we have here is equivalent to the capstone of the pyramid. Everyone will be drawn to it. It will be good to see the possibility of this when we get in to full swing of it. The key here is to train these ladies so they are able to realise and understand the concepts behind this project so they can develop the processes so that one person eventually works to spread a replica of this project to other challenges on the island and tI will retire in to what I do best – train, coach, and mentor! This is the future of business there’s no doubt for me now.

Only a week ago I was dying (dead) to the world in a room all by myself in the middle of nowhere. And the first question I asked was “How can I help the people in my life, how can I benefit people in my life, how can I truly benefit people?” The suffering subsided and a new world opened up. In less than four days I am 360,000 rupiah richer (well the magazine is). fortunately I have a training gig in Singapore which will cover me for the next two months or so. At last! Though expenses coming out of the Yin Yang to make this happen.

Cost of Magazine Set-up + 10,000 units at $12000

Cost of t-shirts and ID tags: $350 (approx)

Computer for design, and operations: $2,000

Monthly operational costs (internet, coffee): $100

Total + 10% to the nearest whole figure: $16,000

(not including basic personal expenses, living, time, food etc)

So were $40 of the way there!

A project to inspire people to make money through changing the world for the better!
