This author has claimed to be responsible for 100s of successful projects worth billions that created 50,000 jobs in his role as an economic developer. Numerous journalists and bloggers have asked Don Allen Holbrook to document his lofty claims to no avail. These claims have been thoroughly researched and nothing even close can be substantiated. There are numerous articles on Outribunedotcom and the Houston Press.

Holbrook was fired from 2 economic developer positions and not renewed for a third. His success as an economic developer left him wallowing in bankruptcy in 2007. In that chapter 7 filing he wrote off 1.89 million. 1.29 million of that was legal fees. His 2011 chapter 11 filing was the result of his involvement in the EarthQuest theme park debacle according to Holbrook himself as he was still owed money for that international destination theme park that is still only on paper. He had a hand in every pie of that deal working for the East Montgomery County Improvement District, the Vercitas group, serving as president and CEO of the bankrupt charity (the EarthQuest Institute), the developers and original creator of the project. His LLCs raked in 1.2 million and straight into bankruptcy he went?

He has been mired in litigation for years. He has made a career of threatening litigation against anyone who dares to speak out about where their tax dollars are going. He fraudulently passed himself off as a PhD for years. In his most recent case where Huber Heights, OH sued him for allegedly performing a substandard economic analysis, fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, Holbrook's response was to drag in numerous third parties. Holbrook sued numerous newspapers, journalists, all the taxpayers in Texas who dared to comment on his EarthQuest theme park boondoggle in Texas and the taxpayers of Parump, NV who didn't want to waste hundreds of thousands more dollars on Holbrook's and Contour Entertainment's nonsense. Other towns and entities rejected Holbrook's international destination tourism plugs, so not a single project has ever come to fruition. What legitimate economic developer would sue taxpayers concerned about the use of public funds?

Fellow Member (FM) status is conferred upon active IEDC members. A Fellow holds the classification as long as membership in the Council is maintained. Holbrook did not renew his membership, so he cannot use the FM designation any longer.

Holbrook's career as an economic developer appears to be over. He now makes a living hawking timeshares to unsuspecting marks in Las Vegas.

Don Allen Holbrook says:
Soapboxmom is a person of very questionable character and she has nothing but malicious intentions towards me for no valid reasons. While all of her comments are absolutely false I will not defend my history or actions in a format such as this. It is not appropriate and it is none of her business nor anyone else's. What I do as a law abiding citizen is my business. I have numerous character and professional references that refute all of her statements. My clients are all fully briefed prior to any engagement and my credentials are without blemish. Her snooping and stalking of me, my wife and my children is beyond absurd and immoral behavior. It is cyber bullying and totally inappropriate. She has attacked and hounded hundreds of other people and this is how this mentally deranged person seems to enjoy herself by tormenting and stalking others online. She has sent emails to the media, my clients, my friends and attacked anyone she has found that stands up to her or refutes her statements on my behalf. She has never had any dealings with me and to my knowledge any of my clients other than to attack them through the Internet. She has not demonstrated any ability to think logically, act ethically or behave in a manner that is professional. I will never react to such people nor will I give them any information as they would only seek to use it maliciously to harm my reputation and my livelihood. I have a very clear policy on my website about such abuses of my privacy. In addition, I have clearly disclosed my opinions, client references and other pertinent information which any reasonable and normal person can read and understand, that makes it clear that this person Heather Dobrott of Garland Texas is just making up allegations that are not truthful, credible or honestly portrayed factually. I have reported this person to Facebook, Amazon and others, but the Internet rules of stopping such bad horrible people is not capable of addressing this issue. Suffice it to say she is in my opinion consumed with trying to harm me and my family and her words and/or actions should not be trusted by anyone that is of a sane mind. The scary thing in my opinion is that she has shown signs of her lack of ability to behave in a manner that is safe around other people by justifying her breach of conduct by her own standards. She is now apparently working with some Soccer League in Texas in some capacity ... May God protect those families and their children from this vile cruel person. I do not trust her actions when someone disagrees with her on any subject, and in my opinion she should be considered potentially a very dangerous person to encounter. If you encounter her either in person or online you should consider not having any form of relationship with her. I would advise anyone to use extreme caution to avoid any contact with this person as she has demonstrated a very dangerous psychologically disturbed emotionally unstable persona.

So, is he saying the Earthquest Institute paying him $185.00 an hour for a fraudulent purpose such as promoting the for profit theme park is okay? The money should go to blowhards like him instead of the true charitable purpose of the organization???

Hello everyone. I wanted to pass this along to each of you that have connections to me on the various social media connections we all utilize together.

I have been asked by my Publisher, Motivational Press to do a 1-day (24 hour) special promotion to all of my friends and contacts on social media. I want to be very transparent in why I am requesting this of you. I also want to share personally with you Why it is VERY IMPORTANT to ME! I really do appreciate each of you and your comments and support you have shown to me over the years. I am ASKING EACH OF YOU to go a little bit further for me on SEPT 12th (TOMORROW). I write books to express my own feelings, to reach and connect to people so that we can collectively make a difference on the topics I am passionate about… but also to gain understanding and endorsement from all of you that this is valuable to you. I seek compensation from my endeavor because it is part of my actual livelihood. I have dedicated most of my adult life to working on projects, ideas and strategies that can improve people’s lives. There is nothing more fulfilling than to know you appreciate such efforts. Author’s write to be heard, create a voice that will make a difference and to make a reasonable living working at what we are passionate about.

PLEASE TOMORROw on SEPT 12th go to my Amazon Website either directly at Amazon.com: The Next America: How to Survive and Thrive in Today's Unpredictable Economy eBook: Don Holbrook: Kindle Store

Or you can go through my own website (my preferred path) at: Don Holbrook | Official Author Website

Please purchase my Ebook on Sept 12th for $1.00

Why?

Because it will allow me to jump my ranking up on the Amazon list significantly since it is based on sales per day… this will allow me to sell more books and reach more people with my message.

Next… I have a special offer for you… if you purchase my book on Sept 12th 2014 and do a review on Amazon with a star ranking and a short comment I will fully refund your $1.00 purchase price to you. Of course you do have to provide proof of purchase.

Why?

Because your reviews will help me optimize the search engine on Amazon to get my book “The Next America-How to Thrive and Survive in an Unpredictable Economy, 2nd Edition” noticed in google and Amazon searches. There is another book with the same beginning of my name for my book, which creates confusion. My book with this name came out originally in 2011 so my name predates the other, but none the less, it is creating confusion for my fans and friends that want to find my book. Your reviews will make my book stand out.

This is the power of social media… it’s why we take the time to connect with each other, so that we can actually help each other. I am SO VERY BLESSED to have so many connections.

Thank you in Advance for what I am sure will be a huge success tomorrow Sept 12th to celebrate my books message reaching far more people!

That lying gasbag will do anything to try to bury the factual reviews of his critics. The truth of his robbing taxpayers across the country, resume fraud and numerous threatened and filed lawsuits to silence truth-tellers has completely covered the Google search pages. He is kissing butt now and putting on a show as he is desperately trying to find a way to support the extravagant lifestyle his phony little wife apparently demands. She dresses like royalty and that cost a pretty penny. Holbrook is also visiting the salons to get his hair dyed.

Not to mention, the latest rumor about his fraudulent bankruptcy. Apparently, his second house in Lake Havasu is party central with a very costly pool and other amenities. So, while writing off lots more debt and screwing his creditors, he gets to enjoy the lifestyle of the rich and famous with a vacation home. Disgusting!!!

the fact he is still begging his 'friends' is hilarious.

Don A Holbrook --- 2 years ago - quote

"Dear Readers of this blog, as stated, this is a serious legal issue. Please note that I am brining litigation against Ms. Soapboxmom (Heather Dobrott et al) she received a letter from my attorney which very carefully stated she has until May 11th to substantiate with valid facts and evidence of her Libel comments. Ms. Dobrott is digging herself a very deep legal hole and her malicious attacks on my business and my professional reputation are purposeful and with willful intent to harm my livelihood. She has made very poor decisions in business and ignorance of the law will not excuse her nor any of you who choose to continue in this libel from the liabilities that are piling on yourselves. By spreading libel and then encouraging others unwittingly to participate on this page is just bringing other previously innocent people into her web of fictional conspiracy. I would encourage anyone on this web page to take note in the recent $13M Texas award of damages to those folks using and promoting anonymous libel about innocent people. At the appropriate time we will know every computer ID that has made comments on any site that aids in this process and those that make such comments must be prepared to deal with the litigation that is coming this month. If you continue to comment on me, my business, and further ruin my professional reputation and/or harm my livelihood and/or personal affairs for libel, slander, defamation or other malicious intent you do so at your own risk. For some the damages has been done and avoiding litigation is impossible in my opinion, but for those of you bright enough to discontinue your libel comments you may still avoid litigation. Be smart and do not be baited into legal liabilities by a person such as Heather Dobrott. She obviously has too much time on her hands and her mind goes to conspiracy theories as her own form of sick entertainment. That is her own affair until it harms others with such malicious intent that it wrecks their business for spreading virally false information and doing so for her own self-gratification reasons."

Holbrook was laughed out of court in Ohio for lack of jurisdiction 2 years ago (just months after writing that.)

The town of Pahrump, which ran Don Allen Holbrook out, published his e-mails to town officials. Holbrook told Pahrump in May 2011 that the Earthquest developer and its property were in bankruptcy. The Texas taxpayers only found out when Cynthia Calvert of The Tribune (one of many truthtellers Holbrook sued) published the bankruptcy documents and covered that story in January 2012.

Holbrook had also told Pahrump that Contour Entertainment was purchasing the property for Earthquest in May 2011 and that ground breaking for Earthquest would happen by the first quarter of 2012. The land was lost over two years later as the repurchase option from the new owners ran out. A new property has been bragged of, but no financing has been secured since Contour began scrounging for money in May 2011. It is doubtful that property will ever be purchased. The Earthquest dino is apparently extinct.

Holbrook outright lied in order to schmooze Pahrump into spending hundreds of thousands of dollars paying him to consult on another silly destination them park project that would go nowhere, but line his pockets handsomely. Luckily, some savvy people ran that charlatan out as they checked out his background and saw the writing on the wall for Earthquest. Huber Heights Ohio also got wise and sued Holbrook in 2012. Holbrook proceeded to sue Cynthia Calvert, The Tribune, numerous other publications, journalists, John and Jane Doe taxpayers and little ol'me as third party defendants in that suit. That got him laughed out of court for lack of jurisdiction.

It is high time Holbrook substantiate his claims of 100s of successful projects worth billions of dollars that created 50,000 jobs and explain why he lied to public entities?

Desperation!!!

Buzz, Woody, and the gang are currently floating down Peach Creek in a torrent created by the tears of EMC taxpayers. FartBloossum has a better chance of paying his electric bill by continuing to hawk BlueGreens timeshares rather than selling the stale garbage in his books.

While sitting on his XXXLarge can during downtime reaping the rewards of his lies at BlueGreen, he ought to UPS a copy to Frank the Bank. I'm sure for a small kickback of the money he stole down here Froggy would send a glowing review.........oh, wait........he dropped that money at the craps table in Harrahs years ago

Stupid is NOT a defense!
Another Article in the Series Related to “The Dark Side of Social Media”
People who makes mistakes in life many times pass off such mistakes as being unaware of the gravity of their own willful choices… Thus I didn’t know what I was doing was wrong. The Legal System in our own country has a polite term for “Stupid” it is ignorance. Let’s reflect on what our legal system says about Stupid. “Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law.” In other words it’s your responsibility to understand how to behave legally within the law. Failure due to your own lack of taking time to learn how to act and behave, still results in guilt and thus is a punishable event, if you are caught.

Let’s reflect on our own choices and our typical blame game excuses. Many say the want a great job, great relationship with their significant other and family, a great vacation, a great house, car, retirement, physique (my own downfall) and they do nothing to make these desires become s reality. Worse yet they blame the lack of results on their parents or upbringing and/or their employer, economy, or other circumstances. In fact, it is their own failure to adapt to a behavior that would create those outcomes. So, the failure is 100% due to their own poor choices.

Let’s face it, they are probably either too lazy to adapt or too lazy to investigate the situation from credible sources of authority. Stupid can be categorized typically into a few categories normally. Those are usually as follows; pure laziness and failure to act and/or investigate the choice prior to diving right in uninformed or worse yet following the advice of other uninformed idiots. The second major habit of stupidity is just thinking some outside event is going to create their desired result. Here are yet some more examples; Botox to stop your looks from fading due to age, hoping nobody will discover your bad behavior, hoping that you will win the lottery or hit the Jackpot in Vegas or at a Casino. Hope is eternal but not likely to create your desired outcome. Here is another one, believing a person that has hurt your feelings numerous times or betrayed your trust several times is actually worthy of your friendship and/or worse yet your love or trust. Kids are examples of young versions of future adults. They make these mistakes and our parenting is then supposed to teach them the error of those naive choices, so they correct it and as an adult act with the knowledge of how to behave correctly. But News Flash, even if your parents were horrible as an adult its your responsibility to adapt and behave regardless of your lack of training by idiotic or self-absorbed parents.

Now let’s move to this new instant gratification and instant access to information Internet driven age. Not researching choices today is really seriously either Pure Lazy or Malicious Intent thinking nobody will catch you or enforce your punishment if you are caught.

Now let me give you a real life example of both stupid and malicious combined right from my own life. About two years ago I picked a cyber stalker (look up the definition) and seriously malicious cyber bully (again look up the definition). This person whom I do not know at all, I have never done any consulting work in her community so she has not been impacted adversely by my own behavior. I do not believe I have ever indirectly sold her a book (Amazon and other retailers do not tell me who purchases my books), so to my knowledge she has no basis to factually comment on my books or consulting work.

Now she (let’s just call her a made up name like she so enjoys…Doc Bumkus or SoapboxMom) has expressed her opinion of me, my work, and projects I have done work for as a consultant as not opinions but fact. She has done this under the false guise of our first amendment ( Freedom of Speech). She has made comments online that I am a criminal and that I am lying or fraudulent in my statements or that my own stated outcomes are not legitimate. She has reported all this on numerous web sites in order to not only smear my name and ruin my reputation to to also harm my livelihood. She feels that her positions are correct, even though she is just another stupid and lazy person by my own assessment.

Let’s tear her arguments apart so she can be exposed. First let me tell you why this actually matters now to me. She won’t cease her actions, so a client of mine recommended I use her as a case study of how to really combat a cyber stalker and write about it, so others can learn from my own negative experience.

She has attacked my projects, stating they are failed or not worthy of proceeding. She cites other printed sources and claims that since some other source or idiot blogger agrees with her it therefore must be true. Her defense is that I and/or my clients haven’t refuted her claims publicly so therefore our failure to react as she desires is therefore an admittance of some predisposed guilt. She posts this on numerous very public places (so she has committed defamation of character under the law) something not protected by the First Amendment.

You may ask although most say the exact same thing I do, as to why I don’t respond to her taunts in a manner that she acknowledges? Because it’s none of her business and I have no legal requirement to refute her false statements. The burden of proof is on her not me to actually back up her lies and intentional false defamatory statements. In fact, she is so stupid that she cannot understand that if tested to a litmus test of validity to that statement, I could easily validate my claims and have done so already many times for clients of mine. This is what is considered acceptable behavior by law and it has met my client’s own tests of legitimacy because they then have then freely chosen to hire me or purchased my products and services based on their own research of me, my reputation and my pervious work experience.

So, the reason I have not legally addressed her is due to the failure of the legal system to keep up with the ever evolving situation called social media and the Internet. Where she lives Texas does not yet allow me (the resident of another state) to haul her into court for these violations. But that is changing and is evolving to solve that problem as we speak. Once that occurs my ability to do so will not be hampered by the lack of jurisdiction. In my case I tried to sue her where I had proof of her defamation causing harm to me in Ohio, but the judge ruled he did not have jurisdiction to prosecute her. That does not mean she was not guilty just that I had no reciprocity. She has touted this as somehow a victory of her legitimacy, nothing about her assertion of such is factual. But more important to the legal nature of her continued violations is that she continues to post this on public websites to harm my livelihood. She puts it up on Amazon clearly one of the most visible websites in the world and posts on her own created blogs and others so that Google will find them. Even more disastrous to her own defense she seems to know how to optimize her posts so they draw more attention by search engines. Willful malicious intent fine to harm my own economic endeavors which I do lawfully and with full disclosure.

She boasts that others who associate with me should act to stop associating with me, my professional associations, my employers, my fans and she even attacks my family and associates them as she has portrayed me, causing them embarrassment and undue emotional stress. She attacks my children and their school affiliations. She is a classic stalker by her acts. She is consumed in her twisted desire to cause harm to me in order to get attention to her. Obviously she has developed this persona due to her own short comings. Now the interesting thing is that her husband works for a company that is a huge web content consulting and service firm Dallas Texas. It would seem to now make sense that her knowledge of how to use the Internet to harm me and others has been aided by her husband either directly or indirectly using his insider knowledge of such techniques passing these along to her (his wife). Now his employer may be in the chain of events even without their knowledge of their employee’s activities outside of his work. So they are Ignorant under the law, but not yet proven innocent of complicity or indirectly aiding the activities by their lack of behavior enforcement of their employees and their family members. Her husband may be guilty as well if when tested by legal standards his involvement is proven to have been on purpose and of his own free will. Now you have wages to garnish as one of the possibilities.

Now as the events and timing unfolds in Texas to allow such civil and possibly criminal matters to be considered by the Texas courts it may be proven that her stupidity may be a prosecutable and/or litigious event that I can choose to pursue. Previous actions did not have a clear cut trail that could be followed where victory was overwhelmingly in my favor. Now as things change and the actions are still actionable it may be a different opportunity. For one thing now an attorney will have more economic reward for restitution to be awarded to me if we can prevail. Under the evaluation I did two years ago, my own stalker was judged as not worthy of the investment to pursue her legally. To put it bluntly the cost would not be possible by my own estimation and that of my attorneys to be recovered from the stalker for my pursuit of her for her potential harm to me, my reputation and my livelihood. Now if I can find an avenue by which I can add on others related to her as possible economic co-conspirators and they can be made to pay for their involvement under the Texas legal system, it may prove to be a worthy pursuit and thus a risk of my own capital to seek restitution from my assailants, stalker, and co-conspirators.

In the end if you acquire a cyber stalker from the vile, malicious dark alleys of the Information highway era, your best defense may be s good offense. You have to hit them where it hurts in their pocket book. A turn about after-all is considered fair play by most of our societal standards and morally acceptable protocols.

Take note of their violations and keep a record of their actions. Create your valid proof to substantiate your own situation. Do not feel any obligation to produce and publish such proof by posting it on the Internet. Those choosing to attack you probably will just continue to disputes its validity or worse yet they will expand their efforts to harm you by bombarding your professional colleagues and clients. Your clients probably do not wish to be subjected to such needless stupid people. In addition step up your own positive image campaign spend time and money creating factual positive public relations and marketing over the Internet to create at least some counter balance to he negative smear and defamation campaign of your stalker and their witless cronies.

Learn from my own errors, by not directly responding to their taunts and ignore them. Just increase your public relations and marketing expense and effort to create a positive counter balance to the stalkers. By responding to them publicly I believe you give them credibility in their simpleton minds and they somehow feel some sick justification or reward for their actions.

Finally, at the appropriate time bring the full weight of the justice system to bear on them. You should do this only when you have the economic resources to wage the assault in your stalkers. Unfortunately even though you can prove your case of economic harm and damaged reputation and livelihood the other party may not be financially at to pay for your restitution. Now the defense of your honor, character and career may not be financially feasible. Do take the time to explore what legal remedies you have at the time and then as time goes by in some cases the laws will evolve to allow you to proceed. It may not be at the instance that you want but patience and timing are very important in dealing with cyber stalkers and cyber bullies. The law is now changing as more and more people are being harmed by the invisible assailants on the Internet. In addition the laws may open up new economic relief avenues such as culpability and complicity of others directly or indirectly involved in these misdeeds. Even employers of such people who do not police their employees involvement in such activities may become financially liable. Now the attorneys will begin to find avenues to recover their fees and thus litigate on your behalf.

Times are changing so be ready to act and protect your livelihood and reputation. Never tolerate cyber stalkers or bullies, because if you do they just continue to bully you and others unfettered by any moral or legal sense of right and wrong.

Remember to pursue and opponent and win you have to have a strategy that will use all elements to your overwhelming odds of winning. Timing in military terms it would equate to picking the terrain (battlefield) and timing ( when you have overwhelming superiority) to attack them. You may feign retreat or allow them to continue to believe they have prevailed just so they in fact lower their defenses and give you further advantage. Then you strike when you feel everything is totally in your favor.

Once engaged I believe the best philosophy to adopt in total victory! Allow no mercy or they will go onto someday be capable of harming you or others again. Wipe them out financially, emotionally and professionally. In other words you legally do to them what they maliciously tried to do to you. The world of Karma would probably say “they got their own medicine, or they brought this upon themselves by their own self-fulfilling behavior response justification). They created the means to their own end or demise. They do not deserve mercy or forgiveness that is for God and the courts to determine not you.

In my own scenario as it may be in your own case, you have other legal remedies that may create some form of respite and economic relief from these malicious bottom feeders on the information highway. I have decided to write and speak out about this issue on both a personal and business level. By advocating for changes it may help others in the end.

I also have decided to write a fictional story using much of the characters twisted views for the villain in the fictional novel. Her own victims from previous activities she has been involved in created a ready stockpile of examples I could fictionalize to create a quite interesting murder-mystery-thriller. In addition, to creating a possible award winning novel it could easily fit into a genre for a great book to film project. There is no better revenge than to profit from the stalkers attack on you by making a good example of this issue and allowing Hollywood to do their thing about it and thus pay you handsomely for your grief by telling your story and rewarding you with a nice economic royalty check for your resourceful and creative ability to put pen to paper and tell the tale in a highly visual screen play.

However, you choose to react to your own situation use good judgement and get professional guidance so that you do not react in a way that is not lawful. There are so many lawful ways to extract your revenge and seek and get restitution there is no need to react in your stalkers own fashion. Good Luck. Remember you are dealing with a very disturbed and mentally unstable person so be patient.

Holbrook takes stupid to a whole new level. Where do I start??? The Plaintiff (Sir Gasbag himself) has the burden of proof in a court of law. A blogger challenging one to substantiate their claims as I have done with Gasbag numerous times does not in any way fit the legal definition of defamation. Making criminal allegations (as in accusing me of cyberstalking) is actionable and I would have zero trouble prevailing on that one if I dragged this nut into court as I did Darnell for exactly the same thing.

My purchasing Holbrook's silly books or being in a town whose vault Holbrook emptied doesn't make a lick of difference. It is a free country and I can discuss online whatever I darn well please. I used numerous mainstream newpapers and court records etc. for the basis of my posts. Sure is great that paid archives are available in almost every town where Gasbag was run out or fired.

Of course, he can't afford to litigate against me and these imaginary co-conspirators / assailants. He lived the lifestyle of the rich and famous and is once again under a bankruptcy plan. He can't win a case without provably false statements of fact. Opinions are not actionable. So, ol' Gasbag is just blowing smoke yet again. And, he is definitely proving to be the stupid one. There is absolutely nothing to stop him from filing against me in the county in which I reside in Texas. He is just babbling complete nonsense.

Jurisdiction is not the real reason this ding-dong couldn't touch me in Ohio. He is such a lying scumbag he referenced posts in his filing that the defendants actually made weeks after he was **** canned. What an idiot!

Wages are only garnished in Texas for child support. And, he forgets that as the plaintiff he will be forced to cough up everything but his used toilet paper including tax records. That will make for some really fun posting for little ol'mom here!!!

When was an employer ever held responsible for postings done by an employee when they are not representing the company? If Joe Blow works at say Target for instance and uses his tablet on his break to trash Holbrook, I can guarantee that Target is not going to be held liable in any way. Just what is this guy smoking? He really needs to quit talking to lawyers who got their degrees out of a Cracker Jack Box.

"Extract your revenge" Well that is certainly one of the precepts of knighthood. I will be sure to pass this along to your soon to be ex-fellow knights.

Still hilarious he couldn't even get 'friends' to write fake reviews for his collection of firestarter.

His middle name should be Oliver, then his initials would spell DOH!!! He is the classic example of attempting to baffle with BS 'cause he can't dazzle with brilliance!( Can't exhibit what he ain't got!)

ATTEMPTING to baffle with BS? Capt. Baffle has made a living the last 30 yrs. piloting the Supertanker S.S. Bullshit. Too bad journalists such as Cynthia Calvert and Craig Malisow and bloggers like Soapboxmom have LardA$$ dry docked at BlueGreen.

Pay It Forward Simple Strategy to Create a Millionaire within about 30-45 days


Social Media Driven Wealth by Collaboration and Collective Crowd Development

The Power and Potential of an Exponentially Connected Market Place of Highly Action Oriented People… how $20.00 USD could change your financial future exponentially!

This experiment is based on the inspiration many of us are aware of with the success of the Jerry McQuire Movie slogan… “Help Me Help YOU,” and the Pay It Forward Movie and story developed several years ago based on the simplicity of human innovation and initiative. There is very little risked financially in this experiment and it is based on our own character and initiative and trust in those that we are in contact with regularly to each spend a small amount of their money approximately twenty dollars ($20.00 USD) in our relationship.

I am initiating this on the Internet so it may be adapted and used by far more people than I realize by the time you get your own personal invitation by me or any number of your friends.

Everyone knows that there are a gazillion (not a word I know that) different ideas being hyped by a sorts of folks. There are offers everyday for us to participate in some scheme that offers to get us rich and successful. Most people fall into one of several categories of characteristics when it comes to their own initiative to improve their economic condition.

1.) Naive- they either fall for the best laid out marketing pitch and continuously hope that if they respond to enough sweepstakes and/or multi-level marketing opportunities that hopefully eventually they will hit it big.

2.) Lazy- They aren’t willing to actually take any real significant behavior changes that will or could result in their becoming better off by actions that they must be accountable for driving.

3.) Disbelievers- They are pessimists and negative people in general and for the most part blame others or circumstances that they feel are beyond their control that have created their plight in life.

4.) Driven Resourceful- These folks are the ones that evaluate each worthwhile circumstance and then determine how or if it is something that they are willing and capable of embracing in order to realize a measurable gain that is worth their investment of time and resources. They typically are very well read and versed on continuous self-improvement. These folks are also accountable and dependable and not prone to making excuses when they do fail or fall short of someone’s expectations. They learn, adapt and evolve daily.

Now, let’s look at your own situation. YOU have been chosen to participate in this donation based pay it forward crowd development funding program because the person that has sent this to you, believes you are characteristic type number four (#4).

The first thing you have to realize is that in every situation there are pearls of truth and opportunity even if they are overshadowed by or surrounded by dishonest and non-factual information. The entire conversation of the proverbial Ponzi-scheme is just such a subject. There are a ton of ponzi schemes that are just not based on genuine opportunity or realistic about how many people will participate.

But in life it is our ability to innovate and combine concepts even those that are failed and/or flawed that creates the genius of human innovation and initiative. TODAY this is your opportunity to consider becoming part of a strategy that I feel could work to yours and all of our best interests economically. It is not designed just to make me and./or you or anyone else rich on a lopsided basis… rather on a fair mathematical calculation that rewards all of us for taking initiative. It also depends on each of us being successful at picking ten people that we know well to make the same investment we are making ourselves and not break the chain. If you fail to hold up your part of the long line you will harm everyone else… So, failure is collectively dependent on each of us knowing and picking ten dependable people that will pay this forward and take the time to pick ten people themselves that will do the same.

Now, let’s discuss the enormous investment that will create this tremendous financial donation opportunity. This is an old school process combined with the power of the digital era social media driven capabilities that most of us have at our disposal today.

Let me break it down into the steps:

How much do you have to Invest Best and Worst Case (hypothetically)

Purchase ten business envelope let’s just use $.50 cents each so $5.00 realistically probably much less

Print off these instructions and include your list of with your name at the top and then additional ten names moving my name down to the second position with nine additional names that you add from your contacts. Make sure you include the address of the top name (Yours) with your address and then write my name on the second line with my own address and fill in your next nine names with their addresses. Cost of ten sheets of paper $1.00 realistically much less.

Mail this sheet to your own top ten people with the same instructions as above… each time the person receiving it creates their own list and places their own name at the top of the list, then moves your name and my own name at the top of the list down one slot and removes the eleventh name from the list and instead replaces their own persons name into the spot below their name with that person’s address and repeats the cycle independently for their ten contacts. So when they are completed they should have ten envelopes with each envelope having one contact uniquely from their friends list on the list along with their own name, the person that mailed this to them, and the second name on that list on each list, plus their own unique friend’s name and then the next slots filled with the other names on the original list removing each time the eleventh name when they create the list.

They then must mail this to the ten people individually with a $1.00 bill inside each envelope. Now you have invested $10.00 of your money realistically. Some people may try to increase their odds by mailing more than ten envelopes… that is their own decision. Of course the more you risk the possibility for gain probably increases if you can pick people that will actually be dependable enough to follow through with this effort. You see the vast majority of people I believe talk the talk of wanting to be financially successful but won’t invest even a meager risk of less than $20.00 to possibly change their economic outcomes.

So, this comes down to the power of persuasion and the power of perception. If you believe you can pick ten people willing to invest their own $20.00 in this effort you could make this and a bunch of other people’s day within the next 30 days. if you do the actual math on the possibilities it becomes very exciting… but math is based on probability of certainty. In order for this to be successful for all of us, you and your top ten picks must be credible and willing to take the same initiative that I am challenging you with today.

If we are all successful in supporting our network with our own twenty dollars $20.00 USD and not breaking the chain this could be a very lucrative effort for each of us equally at risk and equally positioned to gain the same if it works with our own power of perception and picking ten dependable and action oriented folks to do the same as I am doing with you and also trusting you to do the same.

The next element is timing… this is scheduled to take a positive impact within each of our lives at full payout over about 30-45 days. So in order for this to happen in that time frame, you need to get this done and mailed out within three business days of your receiving the envelope in the U.S. Mail. My additional suggestion is that you email this to the top ten people you are considering and get their email verification that they are willing to do as instructed and not break the chain before you mail it to them. If they tell you they are not willing to invest the time and $20.00 then don’t send them the physical envelope with the $1.00 USD dollar bill in it. Send the email to someone else you think you can trust to do as requested until you get ten responses that are willing to participate and invest their own Twenty dollars ($20.00 USD) in our chain of wealth.

Within thirty to forty five days if this works as I have tried to calculate it with basic math, each of us should be far better off than what we started with in our investment. I think in my unsophisticated opinion (meaning I am not an expert as determined by our government in investments) this should be capable of returning your twenty dollar ($20.00 USD) investment about six levels of exponential growth, possibly even more.

So, 1.00 times 10 people, times 10 more people, times 10 more people, and so on until our name is dropped from the list equals about 1,000,000 or more variables if it goes with the chain unbroken along the path as we are attempting to do so… thus the pay it forward old school wealth chain should pay each of us a pretty handsome return on investment. You can do your own math but if it worked my own math returned a number in excess of Ten Million dollars… ($10,000,000.00 USD).

Here are some obvious disclaimers….

1.) This donation of twenty dollars ($20.00 USD) is totally at risk and it is not an investment by some structured organization or corporation but more of a collective cooperative similar to the Amish coming together to each help the other with major work loads.

2.) The monies spent are not tax deductible to my knowledge as I am not a tax expert and the recipients are individuals not corporations or at least that is the intention of the campaign. Therefore, everyone who receives money from this is individually responsible to declare such income as taxable monies on their fiscal year tax return for the period of time that they receive the monies.

3.) None of us are making any legal representations to the use or viability of this effort… is an honor and character based effort to each help some of our friends and colleagues. There is a possibility that your name may get on the list somewhere down the line by someone you had not thought of, but that risk is something you have to bear in order to keep the chain going and probably won’t be more than you can afford… it it is then don’t respond to the next request, and/or if the person follows the instructions and emails you first, just tell them you have already been a participant and that they should go to the next person on their list. Caveat… if you choose to remain on their list then you are responsible for doing the same steps over again and not breaking the chain and you are accepting the same risks yet again and thus they are increasing your own risks at least at the same amount of your reward potential. So that is your own individual choice made with no prejudice by the person asking you.

So if this works out we will all help one another more than probably we each thought possible… and it should be a fun experiment in the power of social media combined with our own instincts of picking people with the character, conviction, initiative and vision to see something through for the potential of experimenting with human ingenuity and our desire for satisfaction and self-generated success and wealth.

It should be a fun exercise to be part of. I wish you all a great deal of financial success and hope it benefits all of us to our best desires. If you are receiving this message then you are someone I trust with the confidence to understand and act on this to assist you and I and all the others with this opportunity…

If you do not intend to participate please notify me by email and I will not mail you the money or put your name on the list. This should be a fun use of our time and it doesn’t require a huge amount of money or time to create some form of result and it should not financially wreck havoc on any of us if it fails. I will fall back on the old adage, “Nothing Ventured then Nothing Gained.”

Sincerely,

Your Trusted Friend.

The ole illegal chain letter. Real new and innovative right there. Can't believe all the new ground this guy breaks *rolly eye thingy*

Not one single person responded to the wealth article. Proof that our greatest obstacle to wealth is our own disbelief in our own abilities

Or, they don't want to get involved in a dirty clearly illegal chain letter scam with a dishonest dirtbag!

And this clown is writing books on economics and giving financial advice???

Author Don Holbrook @9thTemplar · 21h 21 hours ago

I'm surprised that the government hasn't legalized it and put a fee on it to justify its legitimacy. I'm being sarcastic of course. New tax

WHAT ????

Saying he came up with the formula for chain letters is like claiming he invented the wheel.

I think the guy needs to check what herbs he's putting in his breakfast omelette

Are we absolutely sure that Brad Heather and DH are not brothers?

Maybe with a pinch of Kernan thrown in!

Why the hell doesn't the Crisco Kid just break down, swallow his pride and admit daddy was right all along and he was wrong and he should have followed in daddy's footsteps. Passing the offering plate is still legal in all fifty states. (Puerto Rico, too)

Baby Boom Question of What's Next?


Most of us in the baby boomer generation I think have and are probably still pondering this complex question. Our parents did not prepare us for the eventual failures that our generation seems to be inheriting and our feelings of being somewhat lost and having lost control of our own destiny. So this question is and has confronted most of us from the Baby Boom generation.

We had never envisioned that our age now, we would be virtually wiped out financially, have no job security and even question the opportunity for us to end up OK in general. We always were led to believe by our parents (The Greatest Generation as coined by the media) that we were special and our future was nothing but bright. Yet today most of us feel unsatisfied with our current plight and insecure in our own economic stability and are losing hope that we can even turn our lives around and get them back on track to salvage our very legacy and give our spirits some respite. This complex question is the basis for my next book. I am going to address what I feel are the driving factors of how and why we got ourselves into this predicament and what concerns we rightfully should have for our future and how to get us back on track. It will be brutally honest and by no means am I a role model of what you should do. I do feel my own life has been just as dramatically impacted by the negative forces and outcomes as most of my friends, family and others generation members. I see this everyday in my own Facebook Family of Friends posts. So, I feel compelled to take on this subject and do my best to make it understandable and allow all of us Baby Boomers to know we are hardly alone in these feelings.

Also, as I try myself to find my own path forward after the global economic debacle of 2008-2013 (The second Great Depression) I will give my own ideas of how we might move forward and get all of our collective interests back on track and eventually hopefully feel some sense of accomplishment and less stressful dispositions of our very nature and spirits as a generation that today feels quite lost and betrayed.

As always as I develop and write this book all of you are very welcome to confidentially share your own stories and concept on this topic… as that will help me formulate this story from the best perspective beyond even my own.

True, but is anyone listening is the question.
