PAY IT FORWARD!!!


Just as the title reads, “ PAY IT FORWARD”, is all about helping others as we also help ourselves. Here are some points to consider;

Point #1: Doesn’t it break your heart to see stories on the news about the folks that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Even though my life has had it’s fair share of ups and downs, I’ve always had a roof over my head, and food on the table. Millions of people have had their worlds turned upside down from this disaster. Government agencies, like FEMA, were slow to react and only have limited funds to help people. These programs won’t go on forever. Remember; they lost everything! They will need our help for much longer than anyone can imagine. Probably for years.

Point#2: The Job Market…..Downsizing and outsourcing has been going on for years in this country, and shows no sign of stopping. It has contributed to the eroding of the middle class. You either have it or you don’t. Just go to any of the hundreds of Job Boards, Blogs, and Forums on the internet and read the stories. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost jobs, lost benefits, lost houses, etc. The most recent announcements from GM and Ford alone will affect nearly 100,000 workers. Almost everyone has experienced this first hand, or you know first hand a relative or friend that has gone through this. Some folks are lucky enough to replace a job they just got outsourced out of, but usually at lower wages with little or no benefits. Is it any wonder most households have both parents working fulltime?

Point #3: If you are a parent, doesn’t it concern you what our kids will do in this business climate? I’ve got two teenagers that will be leaving High School soon. As a parent, my confidence level is at a all time low as to what to tell them is the best field to go into or degree to get. You read stories all the time of college students that spend tens of thousands of dollars to get four year degrees, only to find out it’s almost impossible to get a job. Then they go back to school to get a Masters, spend thousands more, to only find out it doesn’t change things much. I’m not knocking education here. Education is important. But our business world has changed and you can’t ignore that. With more and more jobs getting out sourced out of our country, what good are the degrees if these jobs are ending up overseas? Student loans have some of the highest delinquent rates because the students coming out of college can’t make enough money to live on and pay their student loans.



THERE IS RELIEF

Like every cloud there is a silver lining. This has forced us to take our destiny into our own hands. That’s where “PAY IT FORWARD” comes into play. This Effort was created to help all of those that have been affected by Points #1, #2, and #3. Here is how it works.

1) To help the people that were affected by Point #1, ten percent of all proceeds received by the Administrator of this Effort will go to the American Red Cross and be designated to go to the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund. Our goal is to send them at least $1,000,000. There are many worthy causes all around the world, but I think it starts right here at home. This will definitely help the folks in Point #1.
2) The rest of us probably fall into the 2nd and/or 3rd category. We’ll call ourselves Relief Members. Each Relief Member donates $5 to each member on the registry and $5 to the Administrator for the Effort. This amount Pays It Forward. Your donation also provides for administration of the Effort, and contributes to the donation to the American Red Cross Katrina Relief Fund.
3) After you have completed #2 above, you start out in the fifth position on the registry. Everyone’s goal is to send this Effort to as many people you know, until you have enrolled at least 10 other people like yourself. Everyone knows at least that many, so that part should be no big mountain to climb.




Here is how this will look after you have reached 10 people;

The Administrator takes 10% of all amounts received and forward it to the American Red Cross on a quarterly basis. That amount will be posted in future announcements.

You can see from the example below that when you have become part of this Relief Effort, you start out in 5th place on the registry. When you have reached 10 others like yourself that join the Relief Effort, you will receive $50 for sharing the Effort with them. Then you move to the 4th place position. The goal is to get to the 1st position. This is accomplished with you getting at least 10 people enrolling, and then coaching those ten to do the same, and so on.


Relief Registry:

Relief Member #1 JoeMember@aol.com 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 X $5 = $500,000 to you.
Relief Member #2 JoeMember@aol.com 10 X 10 X 10 X10 X $5 = $50,000 to you.
Relief Member #3 JoeMember@aol.com 10 X 10 X 10 X $5 = $5,000 to you.
Relief Member #4 JoeMember@aol.com 10 X 10 X $5 = $500 to you.
Relief Member #5 JoeMember@aol.com YOU start HERE 10 X $5 = $50 to you.

Here is a goal you should consider once you make it to the #1 position. If you are clearly one of the people in Point #2 and/or #3, you can no longer rely on a JOB or Corporate America to provide for you and your family. Once you have made it to the #1 position, you will now have enough funds to buy yourself a profitable business and truly have job/income security. In almost every City in the country, you can buy an established, profitable business in the $250,000 to $400,000 range, providing you well over a $100,000 income as the owner. For long term security, consider a business that is steady and can’t be outsourced, like…Dry Cleaners, Laundromats, Liquor stores, Convenient stores, House cleaning, Lawn service, Plumbing companies, etc. You get the idea. Surf the net and visit Business Broker websites for your area. This will open your eyes to the possibilities. Once you are making well over $100,000 a year, you can buy a good health plan for you and your family. You’ll also be able to set up your own 401K-retirement plan. You will truly have taken your destiny back into your own hands. Once you have made it to the #1 position, you’ll have the CASH to buy that business.

NO DEBTS or FINANCING NEEDED!
NO CREDIT ISSUES!
NO MORE DOWNSIZING!
NO MORE OUTSOURCING!
NO MORE CUTTING OF BENEFITS OR BONUSES!
PAY ALL YOUR DEBTS OFF AND BE INDEBTED TO NO ONE!

But don’t let it stop there. Once you have reached position #1 and can now control your destiny, continue to PAY IT FORWARD and you can re-enter the Effort and start at the beginning all over again. Just think of the things you could do if you raised another $500,000? You could donate more to your church. Give more to local charities in your area. Help a needy family. Maybe help set up a family member in his or her own business and teach them to PAY IT FORWARD. Can you see the POWER of this? The more you help other people the more you help yourself.

EVERYONE WINS!


As the Administrator of this Program, I can tell you that I fall into Category #2. That is why I started this Effort. I have always lived by the belief of creating WIN/WIN situations, where everyone wins and gets what they want. I also live by the belief of “PAY IT FORWARD”. You can also call it:
1) putting good Karma out there
2) what goes around comes around
3) do unto others as you would want done unto you.

No matter how you look at it, I want everyone to gain from this. Especially those hurt by Hurricane Katrina.

I can hear you saying, “ OK, OK, I get it, now what do I do next?” Glad you asked. Simply follow the step-by-step instruction sheet that follows.

Set-up Instructions

1) The way you will send and receive funds is by setting up a FREE PayPal Business Account. Just go to www.paypal.com and hit the tab at the top called Merchant Tools.
2) When you have hit the Merchant Tools button, on the next page hit the Sign-Up button at the top.
3) On the next page hit the Business Account selection. From there, just follow the online instructions.
4) Please Note: It may take a few days to get everything set up.
5) Once you have your account confirmed, then fund your account with the $30 so you can send your payment to the Members and Administrator.
6) Once you have completed Step #5, simply update the registry with your email address in fifth place, moving everyone else up one place, while deleting the person in first place. You are now ready to start sending out the flyer. PLEASE double check your accuracy when making the registry changes!!!!!
7) Please Note: when sending out the flyer, in NO WAY should you be SPAMMING anyone. You should have no trouble getting ten people to sign up just from people you already know. If you decide to post messages on bulletin boards, just make sure they allow the posting first.
8) As you get people to join the Effort, keep in touch with them and send them an email from time to time. Encourage them to continue to spread the word of the Effort!
9) You can send this flyer in the text area of your emails to people, but if you would like a “Microsoft Word” copy to send as an attachment, just send a request to the Administrator for a copy.


Godspeed to All,

Administrator – “Pay It Forward”
