EPISODE7 - THE SECRET How does KIVA tie in?

The TalkShoe KIVA-THON TalkCast is came and went on March 18 -March 19 2007.

So? Another telethon. What does KIVA have to do with THE SECRET?

Here's a report on the KIVA-THON I did in my ActiveRain blog:

________________________________________________________________

20 March 2007 - First Day of Spring

KIVATHON called a screaming success! TalkShoe (http://www.talkshoe.com) - our premiere podcasting relationship (and the place where you can find our archived radio shows) - staged a 24-hour KIVATHON from March 18th thru March 19th, Noon to Noon. The Your Home-Your Money radio Mortgage Guys - Bill and Art - hosted one of the hours and had a blast. The interactive podcast talkathon - the first of its kind - raised money and awareness for http://www.kiva.org/, the world leader in online microlending.

Microlending consists of giving small loans to (very) small businesses and entrepeneurs in developing nations, ones where the economy and regular banking do not allow the "little guy" to make it. The loans range from $250 to $1300 and will be paid back in 6 to 18 months. At KIVA.org the lender - you or me - invests in $25 increments and we choose the individuals, who are pre-screened, WE want to sponsor. (Don't have $25 right now? TalkShoe can handle smaller investments at their website - Look for the KIVA banner.)

It's fun and rewarding to see a business grow from nothing, especially in areas where women are little more than property and bank interest rates can be as high as 1000% (and you though YOUR interest rate was high!) Each lender gets a "home page" and the people you sponsor - along with their other lenders - are interlinked throughout. There are bargraphs depicting fundraising efforts and reporting the amount of money paid back as a percentage. That's right - lenders get PAID BACK - it IS a loan, you remember. We can then take our money out (we don't get interest) or reinvest in another business. Simple.

You can go to http://www.kiva.org/ to see how it all works.

You can also subscribe to our KIVA blog at http://activerain.com/groups/KIVA and stay in the loop.

Bill and I have our lender page at http://www.kiva.org/lender/YHYM, where you will see our two (so far) entrepreneurs at work. As of the writing of this blog, both Asia (Bulgaria) and Dilorom (Tajikistan) are now fully funded and working their businesses. Booyah!

This is an incredibly worthwhile venture. We urge you to get involved - or to find someone or something you want to help learn and grow and make a better life. Thanks for all you do.

Best wishes.

Art Blanchet

EPISODE6 - THE SECRET Talkcast - Our SECRET Admirers

EPISODE6 - THE SECRET - Our SECRET Admirers

Time: 02/27/07 07:01 PM EST

Description: We all know someone who has figured out The Secret long before it became an internet phenomenon - how were they different? What can we learn from them that we should have known? What is the difference between them and the Big Dogs?

In this Episode we reference people we know PERSONALLY who seem to have caught on to the whole concept and principles of The Secret long before anyone had heard of Rhonda Byrne or www.TheSecret.TV . They have attracted success and joy in all areas of their lives. They aren't celebrities and they aren't teachers and gurus - just people like us. But they are different from us.

We explore a few examples that - as Yogi Berra put it -"You can observe a lot just by watching!" They are different, but not all THAT different. It has to be they way they think, feel believe and...eventually...do. We'll look at this together...
