Giving is Good Business... from the heart

"Giving is Good Business"
So much of business is take take take - you've seen it, I am
guilty of it too, but if your business is not into giving,
then you are missing out on a big part of why we all went
into business in the first place.
We all went into entrepreneurial endeavors to find time
freedom, financial freedom and to give back to our communities
and support causes, right?
It's not about the money, the cars, homes or exotic vacations,
I know, I've had all that and it definitely can leave a person
feeling empty inside.
Have you ever heard of "Cause Marketing?"
Wikipedia says:
Cause marketing or cause-related marketing refers to a type
of marketing involving the cooperative efforts of a "for
profit" business and a non-profit organization for mutual
benefit.
The term is sometimes used more broadly and generally to refer
to any type of marketing effort for social and other charitable
causes, including in-house marketing efforts by non-profit
organizations.
Cause marketing differs from corporate giving
(philanthropy) as the latter generally involves a specific
donation that is tax deductible, while cause marketing is a
marketing relationship not necessarily based on a donation.
A big cause marketing campaign over the last couple years
was the "red" campaign. When people bought red products, a
portion of that money went to fund aids victims in Africa.
My company, Goldmills Marketing, believes in cause marketing
too.
One of my friends has a very big dream to make human
trafficking go away. His name is Joel Shaegren and his
non-profit company is called Hope and Rescue.
You probably did not know there are more slaves being
trafficked all over the world than there was before the
Civil War in America.
You probably thought that slavery was outlawed by Abe Lincoln
and that it went away since you don't "see it" anymore..
And you probably did not know that where Joel and I live in
Minnesota, there is a huge s3x trade and underground slave
trade that brings people through our state and then on to
other locations where terrible things happen to them.
Hope and Rescue's mission is to Re-Abolish Modern Day
Slavery.
And Joel's got an incredible opportunity in October to
head to Jamaica and the Caribbean to bring light into a dark
industry in that country.
His company is the one we helped promote as our charity
partner at my Boost Seminar events and also the ClickBank
Masters USA events.
I want you to hear Joel's story.
I want you to join in and help Joel reach his mission.
I want you to listen to a 12 minute interview with Joel
and then make a decision to give of your financial resources
to help Joel make his trip happen to Jamaica next month.
There is a lot you can do, and I am just the messenger, but
I believe many of us can help Re-Abolish Slavery.
Listen to the Interview and make a large or small donation
to Hope and Rescue.
