Another Way To Make A Difference
We just found a great way to give to children who need it. It took me a few minutes to find a project that peaked my interest and donate money to make the project a reality...
Because we have our "sold out" Publishing 4 Profits seminar this weekend, we were looking for a good cause to donate to on behalf of this event.
My wife and I choose this site: http://www.donorschoose.org/
And here’s the post I found:
"For the past two years, my students' favorite unit has been the short story writing unit. This is, I think, in part because the kids have complete say over how their story is going to work, how they revise etc.
This year, I plan to have an ongoing writing workshop for my eighth graders in which, about twice a week, students will work on their own writing (not just short stories, but all kinds of non-fiction, poetry and drama as well).
I need some materials to make this truly independent. As one goal will be to get their writing published, I would like students to be able to find places to publish. Some of this will happen on the Internet, and I will bring in laptops for them to use, but I'd really like to have a lot of print resources for them as well.
The cost of the various books for a writing workshop for my eighth graders (like, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft Stephen King, Teen's Guide to Getting Published Danielle Dunn,Jessica Dunn, etc.) is $364, including shipping and fulfillment."
Perfect fit for me and our seminar and so easy to make a reality for this class in New York.

Remember... creating wealth is about what you make... what you keep ...and what you give back to make a difference for others.
So, you not only have the "Power to Create Profits" ... you have the "Power to Make a Difference"
How about using that power ...to make a difference.
God Bless YOU and YOURS!
