It's Time to Get Wild and Crazy!

Humanity has only ever progressed through vision and toil. 

Think Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Kublai Khan, Michaelangelo, Elizabeth I, Harriet Tubman, Einstein.... the movers and shakers of the world prove that action (not always pleasant) is absolutely necessary for change to take place, and those actions often stem from the craziest anti-social ideas.

The thing is, for the past several decades, our society has been mostly inactive.

After hundreds of thousands of years of existence, just a few generations of human inaction have brought the world to its knees - socially, politically, financially and environmentally. We got distracted by all the stuff put in front of us - the stuff of convenience. Over just a few decades, that stuff has poisoned our minds and our bodies, distorting and hiding reality behind a plastic mask of false happiness.

After these few decades, people are beginning to awaken to the fact that we have been misled, bamboozled and enslaved while engaged with that stuff. We are beginning to understand that if we don't stand up and take action, we might never have another chance to truly LIVE, or create a future for our children. We are realizing that thieves have made off with our future while we were distracted by that unholy stuff, and now it's time to rethink and rebuild. 

Fortunately, as we awaken and begin to wonder how to effect change in our own life, we're met with communities that have already begun to implement ideas into action. It is now a time for wild and crazy ideas, stepping well out of our comfort zone, and aligning with others who share our beliefs and vision. It is not time for the Same Old Thing. It's not time to give energy to organizations that conform and patronize.

It's time to envision our truest dreams and passions, and set about making them happen. It's time to insist on joy and abundance and health and love, which the universe provides to anyone who is aware. It's time to align with our own personal divinity and radiate that beautiful energy into the world.

To make a difference, we must get into action, come up with some out-of-the-box ideas, and insist on living our passion. Everything we do must help to make the world a better place. Connect with people who uplift and empower you, and take steps to disengage from the false stuff and enjoy what is real.

Only then will we truly have a future to look forward to.

Wishing you many blessings of Love, Gratitude and Abundance,

Radiant Survival!!!

I want to tell you about a project my friend, Erica Tucci, is working on that is going to help a lot of people who may be facing a serious life trauma.

Erica is a stroke survivor. She has written a book entitled Radiant Survivor: How to Shine and Thrive through Recovery from Stroke, Cancer, Abuse, Addiction and Other Life-Altering Experiences. This book is a collection of inspiring stories from Erica and 14 other ‘radiant survivors’, along with many practical exercises she hopes will inspire anyone facing their own life-altering experience.

Because she is on disability with limited funds, Erica is having a crowd-funding campaign to raise the money she needs for this project, and bring this book to those in need.

Today, I’m reaching out to ask you to help us with this fundraiser. Between now and Friday June 15th, we are on a mission to help Erica raise $15,000 to cover the costs of editing, cover design, printing, marketing, distribution, etc. All the professionals being hired are offering their services at discounted rates because they believe in the good this book can do for others in recovery.

Everyone who helps us reach our target will receive a nice thank you gift for their contribution.
Depending upon your contribution, you could receive a signed copy of the book, a framed copy of the
Radiant Survivor poem, and many other nice gifts. You could even get a donation of books made in your name to an organization of your choice, or have Erica come speak at a local event.

To help make the Radiant Survivor project a reality, go to http://www.radiantsurvivor.com or SPONSUME and make a donation. Whether you are able to donate $15 or $1,000, your contribution will make a big difference to someone you may never meet, but who is in real need of hope.

ALSO, if we exceed our target amount of $15,000, we'll be donating the surplus to the Spero Rehab in Katy, TX, where Erica spent nearly two years in recovery. It’s her way of ‘paying it forward’ for all they have done for her and others.

Thanks so much for taking time to read about Radiant Survivor. To stay on top of the latest news
on this project, follow our Twitter stream #RadiantSurvivor or visit Erica’s Facebook Page.

Transformation = Abundance

I have heard it  said that great souls awaken only through suffering. Difficulty shows us aspects of ourselves that need work, and these lessons would not have been learned if the Universe had not sent suffering in the first place.

I had a very difficult journey, opening to consciousness. I clung desperately to a life I thought was pre-ordained, and in doing so caused myself and others much suffering and pain. As I began to let go of that dream, I spent many years flowing through a series of challenging experiences that slowly revealed where my true passion and purpose lies.

As my consciousness opened, I was able to cure my depression, forgive the hurts of my youth, and begin to live in gratitude. What I'm doing now is very different from what I grew up believing I would be doing at this point in my life, and it's a product of everything I have gone through - pain, poverty, and failures as well as love, success and searching. Most people need to go through some kind of transformation to awaken to the Abundance of the Universe.

My purpose now is to show people who are awakening from the old paradigm, a simple method to tap into the tremendous abundance of the universe using new paradigm tools. I help them to use their skills, experience and passion to create products that add value to the world and increase the quality of life. Through my venture IDEABASH.ORG, people can then grow a global community for the distribution of their product, find collaborators to grow their business, and learn more about entrepreneurship and consciousness in the process.

In a nutshell, I help people to achieve abundance in both physical and spiritual realms, and understand the infinite value of Collaboration.

My venture is less than a year old, and I have been blessed to work with many people who I respect and admire, people who have given extraordinary energy to IDEABASH. Even so, it's time to increase the flow of energy and I'm looking for more collaborators, and outlets for increased education about this Conscious Entrepreneur Network.

If you're interested to know more, please come on over and take a look. If you sign up for the Newsletter you'll be notified when we have online events with global experts on Entrepreneurship and Spiritual Growth. You'll also receive a link to one of my original inspirational songs.

Sending many blessings of Love, Gratitude and Abundance!

Resilient Networking: A New-Paradigm Business Building Technique

Resilient Networking is a powerful New-Paradigm method for income generation.

Resilient Networking formed naturally as the “growth engine” for IDEABASH. It replaces the old-paradigm tools of Marketing and Sales, with Education, Collaboration, Inspiration and Empowerment. Resilient Networking is a new way of doing business.... and “new” is not always easy! Most people are familiar (and comfortable) with the old-paradigm and might receive your advances cautiously when you first engage them.... But, if you're approaching the right people – conscious entrepreneurs looking to sell more product and expand their reach – they will give you the chance to explain how Resilient Networking and the IDEABASH Conscious Entrepreneur Network will benefit them well into the future. 

Resilient Networking is like growing a garden with the richest, most fertile soil. You invite five people who you know will add value to join your Primary IDEABASH.ORG Community. (Person-to-person contact is essential as you invite people.... don't rely on email or phone calls.) That 5-person Primary Community becomes the roots of your 3,905-person community. You tend these “roots” by making sure they understand how IDEABASH works, and you mentor them as they get their product and profile together. Answer their questions as they begin to grow their own Primary Community. Once this work is done, your garden grows lush and bountiful, and you get to pick the fruit year after year! IDEABASH members are responsible for their Primary Community ONLY; the growth of the rest of the Community is automatic. 

 

IDEABASHERS will naturally support each other.
Word-of-mouth is the most powerful tool to grow any business. You will have about 4,000 people purchasing your product and many of those people are going to love what you offer. They will come back to your website to see what other products you might have, and may become life-long customers. Also, they'll talk to their friends about this amazing thing they found. You can encourage word-of-mouth growth in your community by packaging your product in an appealing way and reaching out with a personalized noted. Quality and Personalization always add value and get attention.

Perhaps someone in your community will have an idea for other forms of distribution, and will reach out to you, perhaps in the form of a gig for musicians, or a feature on a reality show for a chef, or a gallery showing for artists. Who knows! IDEABASH is built on the foundation of Connection and Collaboration, and offers a whole new universe of possibilities for your business as your community grows. 

We are NOT a Network Marketing model; Network Marketing “takes” from people. Resilient Networking gives back much more than it takes; offering education, inspiration, collaboration and empowerment. When you're making an income through IDEABASH, you have already empowered many people by teaching a new-paradigm business method, sending blessings of Love, Gratitude and Abundance, and offering a product that adds to the quality of life.
