Comments on: Would You Spend $25 to Fund the Business Dream of Someone You’d Never Met? http://createbusinessgrowth.com/start-up/would-you-spend-25-to-fund-the-business-dream-of-someone-youd-never-met Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:55:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Christine http://createbusinessgrowth.com/start-up/would-you-spend-25-to-fund-the-business-dream-of-someone-youd-never-met/comment-page-1#comment-1477 Christine Fri, 06 Jul 2007 07:32:35 +0000 http://createbusinessgrowth.com/start-up/would-you-spend-25-to-fund-the-business-dream-of-someone-youd-never-met#comment-1477 I feel exactly as you do Jonathan - that in the end, we're all living on the same earth. There are so many amazing people out there with the same fire that we have but with far fewer resources. It is rewarding on a very deep level to help anyone in any way that will truly make a difference. I feel exactly as you do Jonathan – that in the end, we’re all living on the same earth.

Thank you so much Christine for posting about it (and thanx for the link too, appreciate it!). I like the part where you wrote "<i>Is it your neighborhood, your state, your country, or your world?</i>" - we're all living on the same planet, so honestly to me, giving $25 to a fellow Montrealer (I'm in Montreal, Canada), or giving $25 to someone in Cambodia, it's pretty much the same, at least to me - same amount of money out of my pocket to help someone. For as long as it helps someone I'm happy. I much rather spend time with Montreal entrepreneurs help them develop their business, than giving them $25. On the other hand the same $25 will help tremendously if you give it to someone living in Viet Nam, Nigeria or Cambodia. i already donate money to the World Wildlife Foundation (www.wwf.ca) and others, and spend a lot of time helping entrepreneurs here. Makes me feel good to help people in other countries, in the end we're all living on the same Earth. :) Thanx again Christine! wow, What can I say?

David, your point that $25 does not go far in the US is exactly why I would want to help someone in an emerging marketplace. I do not have a lot of money to donate right now. I can find $25 though. It would be a lot more rewarding to watch the progress of someone like Lidys with my small donation rather than feel as if I made no impact here. I love the idea of helping the global market.

I think this is a great example of compassionate capitalism. I would much rather purchase a product or service from some one that is having a fundraiser than just give money away. This seems to be a great way to be a blessing at the same time teaching discipline and character to someone that is looking to better their situation. I like the concept! I definitely agree with the mentorship concept! That is what has gotten me to where I am today. Great mentorship from people that are in life where I want to be, that have had the grace of allowing me their time and mind. I didn’t see anything here about what my ROI would be…Haha…J/K…Kinda.
