The People's Vision 15/09/2014 Empowering People - Building Business "The trick, according to Chiang, was for Jonathan to stop seeing himself as trapped inside a limited body that had a forty-two-inch wingspan and performance that could be plotted on a chart. The trick was to know that his true nature lived, as perfect as an unwritten number, everywhere at once across space and time." - Richard Bach: Jonathan Livingston Seagull THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS The Mobile Internet Platform Enabling Social Entrepreneurs Dear Friends of The People's Vision, I hope this message finds you in good health. The most exciting thing about the effect of technology on our personal, social and business lives is that the opportunities are limitless. Really Limitless. However, you know as well as I do that it is the lack of access to opportunity that continues to increase unemployment, especially among young people and worsen global poverty and human suffering. Why does lack of access to opportunity continue to inflict suffering on millions of people in a world where there are limitless opportunities? We all know the answer to this question is simple: It is because today, now when technology can reach billions of people, opportunity is not distributed. What if people found themselves in the centre of a new, expansive social-business ecosystem that enabled them to participate in some of the greatest technology-related opportunities available today and in doing so benefit financially while transforming our world for the better? We Re-Distribute Opportunity To Enable Massive Collective Empowerment Arthur H. Vandenberg, the early 20th Century US Senator who participated in the creation of the United Nations, famously said: "It is less important to redistribute wealth than it is to redistribute opportunity." We see the need for opportunities to create sustainable income and with it financial security, as the biggest and most important market of all. Bigger than the need for another smartphone; bigger than the need for another App that tells people where the nearest restaurant or taxi is; bigger than a watch that allows you to do things you would otherwise do on your existing smartphone. etc etc. So I ask you: If it were possible to: 1. Harness the capabilities and commercial opportunities in some of the most important technological solutions that individuals, entrepreneurs, small businesses and charitable organizations use every day, 2. Deliver a few amazing solutions that increase efficiency and profitability many do not know exist, 3. Enable millions of people around the world to participate in the commercial opportunities within these solutions - would you believe we could collectively reduce global poverty, eradicate hunger and enable millions of people around the world to establish sustainable monthly income and financial security for themselves and their loved ones? If you believe this is possible, and if there is a passion, be it in the form of a steady flame or a raging fire, within you to achieve great things for yourself and for humanity, please contact me to learn how you and your organization can work with and benefit from The People's Business. We Enable People To Co-Pioneer New Social Business Solutions Since our last update we have reached a number of important milestones as we prepare for our imminent commercial launch. Our focus has been to simplify the process by which entrepreneurs, business networkers, small businesses and charitable organization stakeholders in our social business network can immediately start establishing sustainable monthly income while additionally using our tools to collectively pioneer new social-business solutions, and with that, accelerate monthly returns for members of our A Round Vision Club who have helped fund development of our platform. The People's Business is Business Of, By And For The People Was there ever a time when business was of, by and for people and their communities before it became dominated by distant corporate machines? Is an economically decentralized and inclusive "glocal" - global / local model possible that facilitated the emergence of "prosumers" from the either or model of consumers and producers? Imagine if it was. Many believe it can and should be. Tachi Kiuchi, the former CEO of Mitsubishi. stressed the importance of future business models having an inclusive character when he said: "There is no better business model than the rainforest. We need to adopt a bold and visionary corporate vision that has at its heart the interest of the stakeholders and through them create value for the shareholders" With this Universal vision at heart and with over 600 days of successful private beta testing of our evolving social-business ecosystem, I invite you to benefit with The People's Business and enclose an overview of the platform's services and products below for your information. Technology could now allow us to achieve great things for ourselves while empowering billions of other people to realize the greatness in themselves - only if the rainforest's business model is applied. The traditional shareholder-only focused business model has created our reality of increasing inequality today and can therefore never liberate the massive greatness within Humanity. This is why today, even in the UK, the world's 6th largest economy, according to Oxfam, 1 in 5 - 20% of people live below the poverty line. The People's Business unique stakeholder and shareholder inclusive model offers a local - global solution. If you would like a copy of our latest 3 page summary for personal use or to share with others, let me know and I shall send it to you. Please also feel free to share this information with people you feel are aligned with our project and who may wish to participate. If you would like to join our private beta testing in The People's World network, please get in touch. Wishing you happiness and success.

UNIFIED NETWORK Integrated Social, Business, Communications, E-Commerce & Charitable Network That people help the Internet giants build their networks without sharing in the benefits of the Network Effect when the networks are monetized is a historical phenomenon. It is reflective of what Albert Einstein refers to as an "optical delusion of consciousness" that makes us think of ourselves as separate from each other. Additionally the inefficiency that comes with belonging to different networks for different purposes is well known. Leaving Facebook or LinkedIn to sell on eBay or call on Skype are examples. What is currently experienced in separation is now available as a unified experience in our Empowerment Network The People's World. Ours is one network with social, super affiliate business, eCommerce, communications and charitable dimensions, with many free as well as value added paid for solutions, fully integrated to give you a unified, efficient and empowering experience and provided in a manner that enables you to share in the full financial gains of the Network Effect in real time as the network is monetized by all members. SOCIAL PROJECTS CROWD SOURCING AND CROWD FUNDING Spontaneous co-creative and collective support of projects and solutions. With everyone's attention focused on crowd funding only sites, we saw the need to address the needs of people and organizations requiring different kinds of resources and contributions - in addition to money. Our new social projects with crowd sourcing and crowd funding capabilities caters to the multi-dimensional needs of businesses, charitable organizations and people in our Empowerment Network. To support charitable organizations and social enterprises we have partnered with a UK registered charity and US registered non-profit foundation to enable our Crowdfunding to bring Gift Aid benefits to UK donors and 501c3 tax benefits to US donors. What makes our solution unique is that it is possible for members of The People's World network to create a new Crowdfunding project directly from the Social Network Story Feed and invite other members of the network to join, participate in and contribute resources to the project in a Crowdsourcing capacity.

GLOBAL SIM CARD REDUCES INTERNATIONAL COSTS Reduced Roaming Global SIM Card Connected to 850 Mobile Networks. Roaming charges can add up and increase travel costs significantly as everyone needs to stay in touch with colleagues, family and friends while travelling without paying unnecessarily. The People's SIM is connected to over 850 networks saving up to 90% on roaming charges. Using your mobile phone and standard SIM contract abroad can be very expensive. Especially if you are traveling on business, alone or with friends, you are going to have to make international calls on a standard roaming plan. These can add up and sometimes cost more than your travel costs themselves. This is where using The People's SIM comes in handy. You simply save costs on your mobile phone while abroad by up to 90%. With no contracts to sign, no commitments and just £10 set up, The People's SIM Pay As You Go model allows you to start saving immediately and take control over your call expenditure.

The People's Business will support thousands of humanitarian and social projects as our stakeholders grow their networks worldwide and charitable organizations learn how they can establish sustainable funding with our platform. One humanitarian project partner about to benefit from The People's Business is Zero Mothers Die, a humanitarian project that addresses one of greatest ironies in our world - that a woman should lose her life while giving life. The world faces unacceptably high maternal and child mortality with 300,000 women and more than 6 million children under the age of five dying every year from preventable or treatable causes. Zero Mothers Die is a global partnership initiative to save the lives of pregnant women, new mothers and their babies through mobile technologies. Our aim is to reduce maternal mortality by using mobile technologies and cross-sector partnerships to support pregnant women and local health workers to overcome barriers to maternal, newborn and child health.
