If My Dream Could Come True...Winner In Carol Brown's Contest By the Same Name

I would build a center for learning, Working title: Community Wellspring Where people would come to learn new skills and new ways To earn a living in these times. No one’s job lasts forever anymore. We have no idea what happened to or what will happen to our monetary system. As the saying goes, When one door closes, another opens. If we are to transcend economic devastation and collapse, Affecting everyone everywhere, We must learn new and different ways to sustain ourselves, We must gather together in mutually supportive communities, Kind of like here at Poetry Soup, only different. No longer can we keep our cards held close to our chest lest someone guess our next play and block our way. It’s no longer about competition and who has the most toys wins. The first step to any viable endeavor is cooperation And viewing our contribution through a different lens. Today there are more resources, more opportunities Than our parents & grandparents could ever have imagined Or even get their heads around. But changing directions requires a major paradigm shift, A cultural transformation of consciousness From being dependent on the job To creating the job & the life that we want to live From a place of strength, not desperation, From a place of joy in service, not obligation. Here at Community Wellspring, we would teach Internet marketing, affiliate marketing, network marketing, Independent distribution, selling on eBay and Craigslist, Explore the ins and outs of importing and exporting through Alibaba Learn currency trading and form investment groups We’d learn to become adept at building websites, And using all the tools that have emerged For operating and navigating in this new world. No matter what their day job might be, Everyone would develop and maintain multiple streams of revenue. It would become the new 401K the new social security the new investment vehicle What’s in your revenue stream portfolio? We would have networking parties and events Where we would all practice giving our presentations In a safe, supportive environment, Where cross-selling was not only allowed but encouraged. We would have board game events playing learning games Like Robert Kiyosaki’s Cashflow 101 and 202 and others of like kind and like mind. There are few, if any, centers for learning this new integrated business model, This center would become, could become exactly that. If my dream could come true… Community Wellspring would become a reality.
