A Resilient Idea to Pay Off College Debt


It's graduation time, and here in the U.S. hoards of new adults are out in the world, looking for a job, scrambling in a highly competitive world because they now have a formidable monthly bill that must be paid.

The situation they face is grim. I'm reminded of the situation in Egypt, where young adults must put off marriage because there's just no jobs, ergo no money to start a family. What are the alternatives to working a minimum wage job which won't even pay rent, much less a tuition bill?

IDEABASH.ORG offers an option that is not just about earning an income, but becoming a part of a worldwide community of people who desire to BE THE CHANGE THEY WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD (in the words of M. Gandhi). IDEABASH.ORG uses a post-modern, ethical version of networking marketing called Resilient Networking to help people turn their ideas into products, and distribute those products to a global community of entrepreneurs and creative professionals of a similar mindset.

Resilient Networking is a pay-it-forward system. By empowering others, we are then empowered. The products found in the IDEABASH.ORG Network add value to the world; they are organic products, self-help books, music, artwork, coaching programs, recipe books, jewelry, video tutorials, and any other product that is the result of passion, skill, expertise, or experience. They are products that enhance the lives of those who receive them.

I have several recommendations for college students who are just starting out with IDEABASH and want to pay off college debt ASAP. The first is to create something that has to do with your vision for the future. Make this product as if it's your senior thesis - put blood sweat and tears into it, and offer  value to the people who pay it forward to you. It could be a book, or symphony, or a video, or an organic tee shirt. (We don't want to see conventional cotton because it's GMO.) Digital products will have higher earnings, but it's not always about money…. if you create a gorgeous tee shirt, you'll make less money at the outset, but you'll find customers for life, which is the holy grail of entrepreneurship. (Business lesson 101!) 

You could make a calendar from photos you've taken, or interview your grandparents about life when they were young.  You could offer a trial subscription to a daily/monthly/weekly skype yoga/workout session that you offer. You could write about something important that you have learned, that you think others might benefit from. How you can add value to the world with your own life experience?

As an IDEABASH.ORG member you will grow a community of about 4,000 people who purchase a new product from you each year. So, for a digital product priced at $25, that equals about $100,000 annual income (passive income, which means you produce the product once and delivery is automated and therefore your time is free - Business lesson 102).

IDEABASH.ORG is specifically for people who want to bring light to the world, add their voice to the growing voice of peaceful change, and be a part of a global community that adds value to the world. It has nothing to do with "getting rich quick" and everything to do with long-term growth and financial security.

IDEABASH.ORG was designed to be affordable for everyone to join. It's designed to empower people from all walks of life to become entrepreneurs. It's designed to promote community, and teach the value of living in a state of Love and Gratitude.

Come join us on June 5th for a Live Q&A call on Skype, to ask questions and learn more about how IDEABASH.ORG works. You can find information on the front page of the website.

Wishing you many blessings of Love, Gratitude and Abundance,

Meg Montgomery, Founder
