Cat... Bag... Oops!

Well, now that Doug Kenline has let my cat out of its bag, I'll have to share a little info.

I have been working as a hobby for a couple of years now, to find a way for patriots to stop being broke. We are powerless in today's world without money, yet patriots too often find themselves without monetary inflow --usually because they, as Larken Rose puts it, "jump off cliffs". And in the process, shoot themselves in the financial foot. One of the ways they do this is by rashly teminating their use of an SSN (Social Security Number) without a plan and then being unable to get paid or have a bank account.

Note that I am not commenting here on the validity of avoiding the SSN --I believe SSN is wrong, and that it is illegal to discriminate against someone who doesn't have or won't use one. And that there is no law requiring anyone to have one. Okay, so I did comment on it, but that's not what this discussion is about.

Anyway, it has always been obvious to me that a business salvation for patriots would have to be an arrangement that didn't require an SSN.

And, since patriots are stuboorn opinionated people, they are generally unable to tolerate corporate working politics. Therefore, the best solution would center on self-employment, or at the least, independent contracting. Of course, there's still the problem of getting paid by a corporation whose brainwashed personnel think you have to have an SSN, and whose ignorant financial-software programmers make their programs dependent on an SSN, so that those companies couldn't pay you or even hire you without an SSN even if they wanted to. Not to mention that the IRS, which defacto owns every corporation in the country, has told them that they can't classify you as a contractor if you are in an employment-styled 9-to-5 type of position.

So let's see.... an opportunity that is a true independent contractor position... requires no SSN... leaves you free to work when and from where and how much you want.... Doesn't exist in the corporate world.

Oh yes, wouldn't also be nice to have some sort of medical plan without spending close to a thousand a month out-of-pocket to cover your entire family?

In my quest for this solution, I looked at all sorts of businesses, and at the internet. And over time, I believe I have found it.

An internet-based combination of three multilevel organizations, none of which requires an SSN, tied together into a neat little package by an integrating website. A less-than $1000 initial commitment that doesn't all have to be spent at once, and the potential to better than break even in three months or less without any difficult effort.

How is that possible?

One of the MLMs is a phenomenal leads source that delivers to your email box 150 people a month who have explicitly asked for information on exactly this type of opportunity. Exclusive leads that no one else will ever see, so they'll only hear from you. Recruit just 2-5 of them each month and you're successful. And you can do that using the integrative website and automatic email, so your labor investment is going to be only about 3-5 hours a month. All at once, once a month. Over the internet, from anywhere.

The next MLM is a dietary supplement package that is better than coral calcium (and unlike coral calcium, still on the market and not under FTC and FDA attack), completely natural digestive and metabolic supplements that become part of your diet, and in my case at least, proportionately reduce your food spending because they (1) replace some of the food you're already buying, and (2) reduce the need for so much food by filling in the blanks and thus making your digestion and metabolism more efficient.

The third MLM is just a bonus: a set of complete no-previous-condition-restrictions family medical/dental/alternative health plans, from $39 to $129 per month. Average savings over the totally uninsured is approximately 25%; on specific items it can be over 60%. Not too many months ago one of our own coordinators' son had a mishap on a trampoline and destroyed his mouth. The bill was projected to run upwards of $25,000, maybe a lot more. Our friend had to go begging to the internet lists he was on for donations, and what he received didn't come close. Imagine if he'd had a plan that allowed him to take the boy to the HMO of his choice, choose the surgeons he wanted, and got him a 25% or more rate cut? Sure, it's not full insurance, but at 1/5th to 1/10th the cost, it's wayyyy better than nothing.

So I'm the one putting together the integrative website to pull these three businesses into one compounded and reinforced business. But it's not quite ready, so I can't tell you where it is just yet. Need about another week --had to take some real work to pay the rent, so....

I really believe this is what we all need. But you each have to look at it for yourselves.

And each of us has to get past whatever aversion society has given us about MLM. You know, the old idea that it's just a pyramid scheme (all busines is, in the final analysis, so the question is only whether or not it's an illegal pyramid, and it's not). I doubt that many of us would worry too much about what our acquaintances think of us being in an MLM, since we already live on the fringe! Unless they fear we will bother them the way all MLMers have done to their families and friends in the past. But that won't be necessary with this setup becuase the only people you'll be telling about your business are the leads you get in the email. You don't even have to tell your friends or family what you're up to. You can wait for them to ask you why you're not broke any more.

Sorry, that's all I'm saying for now. I don't mean to tease, but as I said above, I'm only saying this much because the cat got out of the bag. Not to blame Doug, though --I didn't ask him not to say anything, and I had hoped to announce it by now anyway.
