Let’s build the safest, most effective Emotional Support Network ever created!

10 Premises to Changing the World
1. Emotional Intelligence is the key to happiness, sanity and success in life. (EQ > IQ)
2. We all have 100% control over our choices in what we feel, and how we view the world.
3. It’s more fun if we do this life thing Together.
4. True emotional support is about being there for people, when and where they need it (24x7x365).
5. Everyone has something they can pitch in to help out.
6. Feelings and Emotions are a good thing, not a bad thing.
7. Every Behaviour is based on a Feeling (or 2 or 12).
8. Every Feeling is based on what things Mean to us or about us.
9. Personal Responsibility is a crucial ingredient.
10. Awareness is the first key to change. (Most of this EQ stuff is very simple, although it ain’t always easy.)

So, let’s design and build the most powerful, and effective, emotional support site ever created! One that covers all means of reaching people: On-line, In-Person and By-Phone.

On-Line
2GetHelp.com will be a very low cost, family-oriented membership site, offering a huge range of emotional training, guidance and support services for free, and more professional work for a fee.

2GiveHelp.com will be a networking site for both volunteers and pros to offer their services for those in need on 2GetHelp.com.

2SellHelp.com will be a place where affiliate and network marketers can make money by introducing their folks to our support network.

In-Person
2GetHelp Wellness Centers will be a nationwide chain/franchise of in-person, brick-and-mortar mental health and wellness facilities offering person-to-person therapy, coaching, massage, nutrition, chiropractic, and other body/mind/heart-based services.

2GetHelp Training Centers will include classes and workshops, as well as a computer lab available for people to get on-line to our other sites.

By-Phone
2GetHelp Call Centers will have 24×7 telephone support, including therapy, coaching, guidance, emergency services, and general TLC for whoever needs it, again both free and for a fee. Therapy laws are setup per state, so we’ll probably need at least one Call center per state.

What we need to make this happen, soon… I am getting ready to take another computer consulting job, in another town, for the next 6 months. If I do that, this whole project will be put on hold for some time.

Therefore, I need our non-profit to be able to hire me to create, design and oversee the building of this site, with some funds available to hire outside contractors, get a phone & computer network network in place, and purchase software and equipment to make this all happen. Initial expenses will include: salaries, project & content design, web and office build-out, shopping cart/membership site setup (including affiliate tracking tools, integrated learning environment (ILE), etc.

Here’s the plan:
a. research the concept
b. create the design
c. build the network
d. try it, test it, and tweak it
e. make a big splash: rollout and ramp-up
f. teach the world about EI: kickin’ butt from here on…

To do it right, it will take $250-$333K for the next 6 months. Then, around April 2009, we’ll need another influx of $3.0M in capital to get us off and running. After that, we will be able to survive and grow using internally-generated funds from operations. That’s the top… $3.3Million. (I have a 3.3 club for people who have joined me in my pledge to personally earn $3.3m, together, then we give the rest away.)

I will be applying to foundations, and for grants, but it’s getting late, and the need is INCREASING daily, with all the uncertainty in the economy and threats from abroad.

Write to me if you have ideas on how we can pull this off, together.
Thanks much.
