Here�s
Two Bootstrapping Techniques For You
Bootstrapping is the art of learning to do more with less.
Entrepreneurs across America have repeatedly started
successful businesses on a wing and a prayer plus one
special ingredient: an understanding of the art of
bootstrapping.
Here are a couple of tried and tested bootstrapping
techniques:
-
Ask major clients
to purchase the key equipment that you�ll need to
service their account, and then lease it back from them.
-
2) Offer shares
in your company to vendors, landlords and key employees
in lieu of cash, subject to federal and state securities
law and acceptable dilution ratios. (Sam Walton used
this tactic when starting Wal-Mart � and his former
secretaries and office workers are now
multi-millionaires.)

What�s
The best �Alternative Investment� These Days?
According to the Historic Automobile Group Index, which
tracks the financial performance of 50 rare and exotic
classic cars, the value of classic cars has jumped 39% this
year. These cars have outperformed collectibles such as
gold, wine, art, stamps and coins over the past ten years.
Although 75% of classic car buyers are based in the U.S.,
interest is rising in other parts of the world.
Ultra-High Net Worth Individuals Mounting
The global elite are sometimes referred to as ultra-high net
worth individuals. And their numbers are growing quite
dramatically. To be considered an �ultra-high net worth
person� you would have a net worth of over US$50 million.
Presently there are 98,700 such individuals, up from 14,200
from last year.
Where do these global elite � very roughly the world�s
richest 0.00001387015% � live? Mostly in one country: the
United States.

Your Trade Exchange Is A
Unique Networking Conduit
We
hear it over and over, just meet enough people through networking
and you will naturally increase your business. If you�ve been
following this tack and making little progress, here�s a suggestion
�
Begin to demand more from your networking efforts by using a
strategy known as bridging, which is building a foundation of
contacts. Ones that are sure to provide you with sales opportunities
now as well as in the future. In other words, move forward with the
idea of compiling a list of people you can depend upon � connecting
with people who have potential value to each other. Eventually the
bridge will lead back to you.
A
great place to meet such people, those who think and act like you,
is at your trade exchange functions. You�ll meet other entrepreneurs
who see the value of networking.
Make it a goal to meet and chat with two new people at each event
you attend. And because they�re all interested in barter � using
trade dollars to purchase goods and services � soon you�ll have
compiled a list of people you can depend on. It�s the time-tested
way to build an all important and unique business network for
today�s competitive world.

Greco Continues His
Tireless Alternative Currency Efforts

alternative currency and monetary systems, reports that he�s
completed his nine-week European tours (mid-June through August).
Coming back to the States he next spoke in Las Vegas at IRTA�s

books on monetary theory and how monetary alternatives can empower
communities. He graduated with a Bachelor�s degree in Chemical
Engineering from Villanova University, acquired a Master�s of
