I had the opportunity to meet with an amazing woman today. She runs a multi-million dollar business here in Edmonton, and she's also a major philanthropist and community advocate. She shared with me some of the projects that she was working on, and one thing quickly became apparent to me.
When an individual is driven to make a positive change in the world, a change for the greater good of mankind, it's amazing how the universe will open the door to opportunity. What started as an idea, a raw concept that she harnessed and started to take action on, giving the concept momentum and pushing the idea forward and bringing it to fruition, is going to make a huge impact on young couples on a GLOBAL basis. Because of her passion and faith in her concept, important people, very well known people are beginning to enter her life to lend assistance and help her concept come to fruition that much quicker. I was totally amazed at some of the names she had mentioned that were contacting her and wanting to help.
I only hope that the Building Better Communities Fundraising Initiatve will catch on and build momentum like this. I'm confident that this Initiative is my calling. I believe that this program has the potential to make a major impact in the youth of communities worldwide. I'm doing everything I can to attract the right people into this program; people that will share this vision with me and help me to launch it quickly. My only fear is that I will run out of funds before it achieves breakout and that I'll be forced to go find a job again and not be able to devote all of my time to it. Only time will tell for sure...
