Together EVERYONE Wins …

First 100 this week save $111.00 …  click here to find out how!

It’s the opposite of “divide to conquer, keep divided to keep conquered” and it has a unique possibility called SYNERGY, sometimes known as emergent behavior where the sum of the whole is unpredicted by the individual parts.

There are other fascinating benefits of working together … one often called ‘the group effect’  where individuals performances improve when working or training with a group.

I’ve experienced this a number of times in sport, particularly in running teams where four or more team members run in rhythm and it’s an absolutely amazing feeling. I’ve also experienced it in business where the growth generated by an aligned team can be so explosive that it is difficult to manage without proper financial planning.

It’s just one of the reasons I love Buckminster Fuller or ‘Bucky’ as he was known, in particular for the clarity he brings  to almost every topic … and synergy of course was one of his favorite topics. See nothing in nature operates on it’s own! Yet as human beings we are very often working separately … and even just walking down the street don’t you sometimes feel a separation?

Launching SOON ...

Studying Buckminster Fuller and his work and reading biographies has had a profound shift in the way I view my life.

He said (c1975) that it no longer works to prosper personally at the exclusion of everyone else, or more accurately “It is no longer integrity to look after yourself at the expense of another.”

To do so means that you are not present to the opportunity or possibility that everyone can be abundantly SUCCESSFUL within a very short time.

Our current financial structure is still based on the Malthusian belief that there is not enough for everyone, and so it is accepted as OK to take what I can … even if it takes from someone else, or at the expense of another!

This is old thinking, this is dinosaur thinking …

“Hello, it is time we switched on our brains I think!”

Was ‘Bucky’ Fuller Right? Are We Digging A Deeper & Deeper Hole?

Bucky Fuller is one of the most important humans of the twentieth century, and one of the most original thinkers of our time … but how many people are listening to him?

Yes, he passed on in 1983 … but his books, audio trainings and DVD’s  live on.

There is also a business education program called Money & You that operates successfully round the world and teaching many of  Fuller’s principles.  I did the program in Australia in 1992 and contribute a large part of my business success and the soon to be launched ethical marketplace and member’s club Your Healthy Planet.com to what I learned there.

How many of our so called world leaders have even heard his name?

Sadly I think very few, otherwise we would not be where we are financially, environmentally or spiritually. He designed amazing buildings that were a fraction of the weight of conventional buildings and could be constructed in a fraction of the time.  He even designed floating cities because of the then high land prices (nothing has changed) and submerged cities. Today companies are designing and building what he saw possible fifty years ago.

In Rotterdam such a floating building has now been towed into place, and it is completely “off the grid” with passive solar design and complete treatment and recycling of waste. Click here or on the picture for more information.

Another thing Bucky said back in the 1970′s was that the economy would be better off if the government paid 70% of all employees to stay home, (those who consume more energy going to work, and who don’t actually produce any wealth or life support) and that they be paid around $1,000 per day.

WOW … I can hear some people saying “pick me, pick me … I’ll stay home”.

Fuller believed that human beings would naturally start looking for things to do once they no longer had to work for a living …  and they would very quickly be solving the problems that are at the heart of all humanity living together peacefully and in harmony with nature.

At present the vast majority of people justify their JOB or their business by saying things like, “Well I have to pay the rent / morgage” or “Someone has to put food on the table” or “What do you think money grows on trees or something.”

Were you aware that since the 1970′s when the “gold standard” was dropped money does grow on trees or at least it gets printed at will … which is almost the same thing.

It is staggering to hear the amount of money circulating in the US economy has more than doubled in the past 2 years. Similar events have occurred all over the developed world as governments try (in vain) to bail out banks and corporations and keep money flowing … like blood flowing in our veins.

Is Politics Relevant to Your Future on Planet Earth?

Australia has just terminated Kevin Rudd as it’s prime minister and replaced him with Julia Gillard as Australia’s first ever female prime minister, but what relevance does that event really have?

“Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to final moment. The race is between a better informed, hopefully inspired young  world versus a running scared, misinformedly brain-conditioned, older world. Humanity is in “final exam” as to whether or not it qualifies for continuance in Universe as mind, with the latter’s access to the design laws —called by science “the generalized principles” —governing eternally regenerative Universe.”

“Human minds have a unique cosmic function not identifiable with any other phenomenon—the capability to act as local Universe information-harvesters and local problem solvers in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.”  — R Buckminster Fuller, xxxvi Introduction to Critical Path, c1981.

R Buckminster Fuller According to R Buckminster Fuller, considered by many as one of the most important humans of the twentieth century (c1895 – 1983) politics would be irrelevant by the year 2,000AD. Fuller made some fifty predictions throughout his lifetime, and this was one of only two that did not come true.

The other prediction was that poverty and hunger would no longer exist by 2,000AD and yet one billion people will go hungry today.

There have been many assertions that politics and ‘big business’ are one in the same, that they work together for mutual gain. In Australia we have seen a number of Prime Ministers take a ‘stand’ on issues that they believed were in the interest of the country, like taxation reform, health care, a resources tax and others … and do that at their peril.

Invariably the “power brokers” have their way and often one persons political career is ended.

These people of  integrity cannot back down, or take a side step. It is not in their making and we have seen that today in Australia as the prime ‘ministership’ changed hands.

What alternative do we have to a political machine?

What do Warren Buffett and Bucky Fuller Have In Common?

Warren Buffet, sometimes ‘wealthiest person’ on our planet … and R Buckminster Fuller, sometimes called the “gentle genius” and “grandfather of the Universe” who often was penniless? What do they have in common?

Initially I thought NOTHING in common, then I thought of a program I saw years ago that looked at Warren Buffett’s life, his business Berkshire Hathaway in particular of which he is Chairman, and his philosophy of success.

This morning I was looking at some of those philosophies and how we could apply some to Your Healthy Planet.com and it’s Ethical Marketplace. The one in particular is that Warren and his business partner have never taken a salary at all and have become two of the wealthiest men in the world from the dividends they earn.

At Your Healthy Planet.com we are doing the same. As the Founding Member and CEO I earn my reward income the same way every other member does and that is the way it will stay. Imagine if we can bring on-board healthy marketing consultants, healthy copy writers, healthy financial planners et al who similarly love what hey are doing and are financially supported by the structure.  It means more profits to go into building holistic education centers worldwide.

Evidently Tiger Woods “Networks”, and Is A Billionaire; But Are They Linked?

Networking is EXPLODING all over the world, and for good reason. In  a nutshell, it’s time has come.

Ordinary people are succeeding BIG, and while they may not become billionaires they are certainly reaching the multi-millionaire stakes in a matter of years.

“LEVERAGE” - is something you definitely need if you want to become wealthy, and networking or more accurately network marketing can provide enormous leverage. But it is not the only way to leverage.

What does the word “LEVERAGE” actually mean?

It isn’t the type of word used in everyday conversations is it … but if you don’t understand it then you definitely can’t benefit from it.

So Tiger Woods has earned a billion dollars hitting a little white ball across the grass.

Now that’s not bad!

Woods, Billionaire.

by Andrew Sharp • Sep 27, 2009 8:52 PM EDT

According to CNBC’s Darren Rovell, today’s $10 million purse for winning the Fed Ex Cup has brought Tiger Woods closer to crossing over the billion dollar threshold for career earnings. He’s still a ways off from the $6 billion that ESPN Magazine once predicted he’d net for his career, but still, not a bad haul, all things considered.

The best part, though? According to Rovell, “agent Mark Steinberg told me they don’t keep track.” And that my friends, is proof that he’s truly rolling in money. Even wealthy people have to keep track of their earnings, but the among the truly, outrageously rich billionaires?

They just know, ya know?

Wow … That’s LEVERAGE! You see the reason Tiger Woods doesn’t have to keep track is two fold. First he evidently has a very good agent and good financial managers looking after him; and secondly and equally important is that the majority of Tiger’s income comes in the form of ROYALTY INCOME and endorsements.

But let’s focus on the royalty income for a minute.

Who, other that top golfing stars earn royalty income? Well there are singers and musicians, and authors all get royalties on CD’s, DVD’s and books. Actors and actresses often get royalties on movies as do directors and producers.

My mentor in the company I am in also receives royalties, not as much as Tiger but it’s still a handsome amount and a little over one million dollars a year. He also says that he doesn’t keep track of his income … it goes into his bank account like clockwork, same day every month, rain hail or sunshine and all he has to do is focus on “his game”.

Every time Tiger helps another sporting brand increase their sales he is rewarded with an increase in royalties … and every time my mentor or I help another person increase their income we are similarly rewarded with higher royalties. You could say “It’s the name of the game.”

The word “royalties” isn’t used that often among people earning a living through their JOB. They can of course start to develop a part-time royalty income while they have the security of their job; and that is the exact recommendation given by author and entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki.

Australian Farmers May Soon Become Solar Billionaires …

It looks like Aussie farmers are gearing up to become solar billionaires over the next decade or two.

Let’s increase the speed, and create a world that works for everyone.

“Success and money both love speed.” Joe Vitali

Our human technological advancements certainly have some speed and continue to surprise, thrill and expand our imaginations, as do our breakthroughs in our understanding of nature.

Take a look at this “Sun Powered” farm ute … with a 200HP electric motor it is powerful enough to pull seed drills and does most of the crop and pasture plantings on an Australian 2000acre wheat and sheep property near Bathurst NSW.

The Farm Ute is fully recharged overnight, ready to go back to work.

The Farm Ute is fully recharged overnight, ready to go back to work.

The ute and the farm house are powered entirely from the sun by a 4kwHr PV system installed on the garage roof.

The local energy authority is also installing a 4MwHr photo-voltaic array on a 5 acre lot donated by the farmer and this solar energy will help supply other nearby farms and businesses.

The cooperative venture between the farmer, Landcare, Country Energy, North West Catchment Authority and other supporters have made a small miracle come true for one farming family and soon others may follow as technology and further cooperation brings the prices down.

The property owner has also taken on an holistic approach to cropping and grazing … to ensure sustainability for farming into the future. For more details visit www.engagingnature.com

One thing I found unbelievable though was that the farmers were having to sell their beautiful high quality Merino wool at a loss, at around $10 a kilo ($4 a lb).

Most of the wool goes overseas, to Italy in particular, to be made into beautiful suits and fabric that are sold back to us and elsewhere around the world at $1,000 a suit or more. Evidently there’s less that 3 kgs of fabric in a suit! Read the rest of this entry »

Imagine Being Paid One Thousand Dollars A Day To Stay Home!

The late R Buckminster Fuller (C1895 – 1983) is considered one of the most important human beings of the 20th Century. Awarded the Freedom Medal in 1983 and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize Fuller authored over twenty books and was awarded more than forty honorary doctorates.

What reasoning did he have to say that our economy would be better off if two thirds of our workforce stayed home, and were paid one thousand dollars a day not to come to work?

It’s very simple. Almost 90 percent of the American work force (and similar figures in other developed countries) produce no real wealth. They are auditors or “checkers”, and checkers of checkers and they consume vast amounts of energy traveling to and from their place of employment. Read the rest of this entry »
