Giving Something Back!Every year on my birthday in November, I will be giving 5% of the proceeds of the sales of all my products and services to a charity. Why am I doing this? Because I am creating my dream with this site and my business. And through creating my dream, I want to be able to support others in less fortunate circumstances...who perhaps need a leg up in life, or a chance to do something for themselves, or get the funding for better health. Like many of us, I want to be able to give back, just as much as I want to build a successful business. The way I see it, I have a responsibility to build a very successful business - so that I can give much more back to charities and going concerns. How the Charity is Chosen This charity will change every year and will be chosen by my newsletter subscribers. In 2008 (the first year), I chose the shortlisted three, in 2009 I will ask my newsletter subscribers to make suggestions, which I will then shortlist and my subscribers will then take a poll. Subscribe now to my newsletter here. (opens in a new window). And the Winner is....November 2008 saw the first charity chosen and I will give them a cheque with our donation in November 2009.From a choice of three, my newsletter subscribers chose:
Although this is the UK site, the Make A Wish Foundation is a global charity. I hope you will join me in supporting the work of this amazing charity in the work that they do to make sick children's dreams come true. Thank you.
