Business Boards Need Women

If we’re hoping to build an organization it must be recognized that the best talent will come from a diverse number of people, cultures and locations. These people will be enthusiastic, have diverse experiences, be emotionally intelligent and many will be female.
Tom Peters in this video speaks of the significant contribution women make to business in America alone, and it’s a compelling presentation for this reason.
We want the involvement of competent men and women at all levels for The $500 Million Startup and we will not discriminate against people on race, colour, sex, age or marital status as I dont believe these elements should even be questioned. What about a female of 15 years of age? Do you think it’s possible for such a person to be of value to an organization who’s goals mesh with their interests and ambitions? Open your mind, prepare to be inspired, and take a look at this video.
Lets go for it, and help strengthen the recognition of women in business worldwide!
How Can We Make It Fly?

You wouldnt expect any sane minded person, especially someone with an MBA, Ph.D or who is a veteran of entrepreneurial startup organizations to take this venture seriously…would you?
On the other hand, it’s an idea that could be just crazy enough, that with the right input, support and guidance, it could really “fly”.
I would advise against being too analytical on this issue, but rather keep in mind that The $500 Million Startup is a project that promises to expand your mind, sharpen business skills and provide the opportunity to participate in something very unique. There’s no doubt it will take leaders with great skill and dedication to help develop business ventures in various locations around the world.
Think of the possibilities, if an organization could select the best business leaders from around the globe then bestow upon them the challenge to create and develop a successful venture, then the goal to build an organization with combined revenues of $500M per year looks more realistic and achievable. As a maverick entrepreneur you will see opportunity and be compelled to take on the challenge. After all, this is the ultimate case study, a challenge to the principle of positive thinking and a five year event that will be recorded in history as a “first” for the internet. You’d be crazy to miss out!
Lets go for it, and expand our minds to create successful business worldwide!
Mining Opportunities Are Gold

in Business Models, Business Opportunities
According to an industry report Gold production is decreasing and the demand for gold constrained by the current high price for gold.
It would seem that aside from the influence of wars and civil unrest, there may be an economic ceiling on gold price and we may have reached it.While Mining opportunities must be supported by proven exploration results, I have my eye on a location in Australia that legend has told the area is “full of gold” and never been mined.
First steps are to investigate the constraints upon securing a mining or exploration lease or claim as the case may be, in this particular location. Now mining in Australia has been part of the primary economic power base for years, so it is expected the process will be relatively straightforward. The model I plan to use has a relatively low cost entry point and simply involves “proving up the resource”. This premliminary research will be funded from group cashflow with a budget to be set prior to commencement.
Once the research is complete, and the location assessed as viable in all respects, I will seek to facilitate further exploration using a joint venture equity partner who has the resources to deliver the project to the market. With this potential in place, it is expected the entity will be promoted for listing on the Australian Stock Exchange.
Similar opportunities will be scouted once this model has been applied successfully, with the objective to produce an income stream or capital profit that can be leveraged into larger commercial opportunities.
This model will not be limited to the commercialisation of gold deposits, but will be expanded to develop resources of other key minerals and precious metals. I’d be interested to recieve comments on this model and anyone who has a similar story.
Lets go for it, and use every opportunity to turn dying townships into thriving communities!
Building a Real Business Online

What would an organisation look like if it comprised six different conventional business areas and was developed using the resources of the world wide web?
Well this was the challenge recently set by Australian entrepreneur Mr Greg Davis or “BigG” as he’s referred to on the site. Big G plans to create an intercontinental platform to allow people from around the world to participate in the development of the organisation at several different levels. For those who simply want to observe progress, well… they would be a passive or active “subscriber”. But like any good startup, return on investment drives the attraction for many, and the proposed strategy to use “successful business models” to create solid enterprise opportunities, could be where things start to become appealing.
There’s also a purpose behind the plan, which aside from the challenge itself, BigG aims to create enough wealth to sustain a philanthropic vision to help those in need. The website will be a vehicle for people to interact with the organization and stay up to date with it’s challenges “warts and all”. A forum is already in place and regular detailed content on its way. Business buffs will be able to stay in touch with all the latest developments from what is expected to be a very interesting project.
Lets go for it, and build an organization to help others!
