Succeed To Give
Yesterday the BBC ran a news item regarding the growing use of the Internet to screen live child abuse via webcams in developing countries. Child abuse is on the increase worldwide, in the USA 5 children die as a result of child abuse every day.
Yes there there are government agencies in various countries that can help but these children need special care which is often supplied by charities such as ChildHelp.org,who in these difficult times, live everyone else have difficulties in raising money to cover the long term rehabilitation costs.
So how can you help, well you can donate money and their are tax incentives to do this, but many people do not have money to donate and this is where the succeed to give concept was born. We are International group of budding Philanthropists who use what we call the Philanthropic Vortex to build a business and as this business starts to produce income we donate 25% to a Childhelp.org, the more successful we become the more we are able to give and at the same time we create additional income to improve our lifestyle.
I have always taken pleasure from helping others and the concept is attracting a lot of Interest in the USA where it was launched.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me

Become a Philanthropist
Why do people give to others - the reasons can be varied but the act of giving actually makes one feels good and can be explained by the results of study 2006 study by a team of researchers at the National Institute of Healer led by neuroscientist Jorge Moll. They gave subjects some money and a list of causes to which they might contribute. They found that the mere thought of giving money to charity activates the primitive part of the brain associated with the pleasures of eating and having sex. Functional MRIs indicated that donating money stimulates the mesolimbic pathway, the reward centre in the brain, which is responsible for dopamine-mediated euphoria. Further research discovered a gene in peoples DNA Those who had certain variants of a gene called "AVPR1a" gave an average of nearly 50 percent more money than those not displaying that variant
Many business mentors suggest donating 10% of your income to charity and perhaps this is based on the Middle East custom of Tithing, tithing is the practice of giving 10 percent of your annual income to the needy. You donate one out of every ten dollars to the orphans, the widows, the destitute, or the temple high priests. However in these challenging financial times the practice has largely been abandoned.

The act of helping others can create an improved sense of well-being. Knowing that you sacrificed something such as time, finances or property in order to help others in need can give you a sense of purpose in life or work and inner satisfaction.
I have recently become involved with a group referred to as Philanthropic Vortex who are pledging not only to support a children's charity with donations but also to create a source of income to improve their own lives which in turn will allow then to be able to give to others.

Life in the Philippines
This is the time of year that people start to have doubts as to weather the opportunities they signed up for in the new years are going to work for them. To be honest it is unreasonable to expect success in such a short time what one should be doing is making sure you are taking the right steps in building your business and here is a simple checklist.
- If you sell products are you buying and using them yourself, most MLM have a minimum monthly purchase level to qualify for commissions so even if you have no downline get used to making this commitment especial as when you introduce other people to your business you will expect them to do the same.
- Do something every day to promote your business, write a blog, place and advert or talk with someone don't just waste time aimlessly surfing the Internet or writing about what you watched on TV unless it is rel event to you business.
- If someone contacts you about your home business get back to them as soon as possible whilst your business is fresh in their minds.
- Learn something everyday about your business or a technique which will help your business develop.
- Read an inspirational book or listen to a tape to get yourself excited, excitement is infectious and makes it easier to sell.
- Do not ask anyone to do anything that you are not doing yourself, keep your business simple and duplicatable
- Seek help/guidance from other people in your business organisation before a small matter develops into a major issue.
- Stand by any commitments you make.
