		<description>Congratulations Clint!  I couldn't agree more with the reasons you laid out for winning.  I tried to do something similar and apply it to me and my business.  I sure do want to join YOU in becoming a Maven.  Fingers crossed.

Best wishes to you on this journey!

		<description>Thank you Jeremy!

I have no idea who the person was that gave me the comment, but was so impressed to see how people are cheering for people that they have never met before. It just shows how Rich attracts such a higher caliber group of people.

Good luck to you Jeremy and everyone on else on here!

		<description>Just an idea of a concept that came...

What if...

...Business became an art of contributing to the world instead of a financial science.

...That all the factors planned in were planned in favor of contribution to the world rather than profits.

...That the prices set were to ensure optimal result.

...That the prices deliberately set to create value that will drive people even further on -planned- events such as this.

...That contribution to people was put ahead of profits - and monetary factors only came in to create an illusion of perceived value only to enhance the contribution it can make.

I'm sure the profits will come if it were done like this.

Perhaps not all niches will find this philosophy of Business (or rather, Philanthrobusiness) ideal.

Of course, science will still find it's place - because science will allow one to maximize all efforts on the predictable factors that would do better than they would in the hands of art alone.

Maybe "natural selection" already ensures this happens in the world of Business, and it is happening even while the focus of the people involved are still on the monetary gains.

I mean...

Businesses that don't provide value will die eventually. Perhaps marketing  can sustain some and allow the leeches to survive on their selfish ideals; but this is something I cannot tell since I lack the experience and I haven't read a lot about Business statistics.

BUT...

What if the mindset above was set from the start of the Business.

What if the mindset above became a conscious choice people could make?

I wonder how many would flock to Business.

It would no longer be something that people think mundane. The Art factor would be obvious, and the good intentions it has would drive most people (I believe most are good in their heart and would wish they could do it).

I love Business, and I would never think that its mundane. In fact, I think its a beautiful combination of Art and Science.

But...

I believe most people look at Business and it seems to be just one of the many areas that is just... well, I cannot explain but I would use the words - not special.

Business is universal and I believe everyone should possess the knowledge. Oh wait, no. Perhaps not. Let me go on first.

It allows anyone to live with PASSION - do what they love.

Perhaps it only takes a group of passionate business people to help the millions live their passion - so we leave this skill to the people who are passionate, and create a system where we convince the people whose Passions are found elsewhere to invest in the Passionate Business People and look forward to a life where they can contribute to the world doing what they love, and excel so so far only because Passion can bring people to levels that we can only imagine - or perhaps Passion can bring people to levels that no one has yet to fathom.

Just an idea, and I do not know why I'm posting it here.

Maybe I'll write it up on a blog I'll set up.

But SEO will kick me off because this will be indexed first and mine will just be duplicate content =(

No, just kidding. I'd rather have this go out to more eyes here than have my page indexed.

If you like it, I would like to request that you spread this concept.

I would love to hear your opinion.

		<description>Clint, 

Congrats.. but first I have to give you a big THANK YOU!! 

I am so happy you won, since you actually got me really excited about what I am receiving... any day now it should be arriving here in Jerusalem, Israel. You really summarized the salesletter and put it in its most simplistic terms. Now I know what to give my attention to first, and what I can expect. 

If you had enough focus to go through the sales page and come up with that post, you are certain to succeed! 

PS - I love your first line.. 'because I can read'.. I am a big fan of people who actually READ. A little outsourcing tip from personal experience - in the middle of your bid request, ask the potential bidder to include a certain strange word in their bid.. or to call you by a certain odd name. When the bids roll in, you can easily see who actually read the details of your project and who didnt, eliminating those who just place bids on anything without paying attention... sorry for that tangent. :)

Good luck with your plans!</description>
