Entrepreneurship: Support It. NOW! - Please.

Dear Colleagues And Friends:

I hope that this letter finds you in good spirits and in the best of health. I am in the awkward position of asking for help on a project, which is something I'm generally shy about doing. What's worse, is I haven't taken due time to address each of these letters personally, for which I am deeply sorry. If I am imposing in any way, please accept my apologies; if I had inadvertently sent you this same item of correspondence more than once, please forgive me my error. And now, to the mission, where we discuss what we can do to dramatically increase the probability of success amongst startups, early-stage ventures and small business. Please just click on the link below:

I appreciate your kindness in reading this, and being as responsive as you possibly can. This affects all of us!

Respectfully,

Douglas E. Castle

PLEASE HELP SELEKTRON INNOVATION ASSISTANCE. 

WHEN YOU CONTRIBUTE TO SELEKTRON, YOU'RE CONTRIBUTING TO SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND THE REBIRTH OF THE AMERICAN DREAM - INCLUDING TECHNOLOGY, INDUSTRY, FINANCIAL STABILITY AND JOBS!

Did you know that in 2013, 23 million small and startup businesses, accounted for 55% of all U.S. sales revenues and 66% of all jobs? During the last seven years when big business corporate downsizing eliminated 4 million jobs, small and entrepreneurial businesses actually created 8 million jobs. Yet, new businesses (the ones that create new technology and industries) have a failure rate of between 70 and 80 percent. That’s horrifying. 

They need support in these difficult economic times. There’s no federal bailout fund for them. SelekTron Innovation Assistance is raising money to create an interactive platform for these little engines to have one-stop-shopping access to all of the resources and support that they desperately need. 

Visit our preliminary website at http://SelekTronInnovationAssistance.com -- if you go to the link on the navigation bar that says (oddly enough) "CONTRIBUTE", you can make a contribution directly on the site, right on the Contribution Page. What's more, we accept PayPal as our primary means of settlement.

Restore the American Dream by helping US startups and small businesses to succeed, excel and create new industries, new jobs and entire careers! Please contribute all that you can and spread the word. You can simply copy and paste this paragraph to any of your social media accounts.  Entrepreneurship rocks! Thank you. Remember, after you contribute, you can simply copy and paste this to any of you social media accounts -- We need to go viral!

If you're truly concerned about the American Economy and you happen to have a passion for American Ingenuity, there are a number of ways in which you can really help us that beyond making contributions (for which we are extremely grateful). You can spread the word and bring this worthy cause in the name of a greater America to an ever-widening circle of friends (just by copying and pasting some of the following bits of social media news to your Twitter accounts, FaceBook, Google Plus and other groups where you can get exposure to a great number of people).

Help Startups, Entrepreneurial Enterprises and Small Businesses to Bring Back Productivity, Technology, Industry, Real Jobs... And The American Dream!



SelekTron Innovation Assistance (visit our site, as well as our GoFundMe Page) is in the process of putting together a fabulously interactive, centralized and complete resource, toolshed (more like an arsenal!) and advice center for these fledgling enterprises. Did you know that the small business sector (in 2013) was responsible for 55% of all American jobs, and 66% of all of our US domestic revenue? Yet you don't hear about the government giving them a bailout. We want to create a highly communication-friendly site that will ultimately be the "go to" virtual helpdesk and services provider for these little engines which have made this country great, We need your help -- even small contributions. You can contribute either on the Go Fund Me Site (which uses WePay to process contributions), or directly on our preliminary website (which uses your old friend PayPal to process transactions).  Even if your contribution is $5.00 or $10.00, is will be your investment in patriotism and free enterprise.

Our campaign is new, but when we've built our machine, we will have assisted these little gems of  businesses (which now have a failure rate of between 70% -80%!) in surviving, thriving, growing and creating opportunities, industries, careers and the rebirth of the US industrialized ingenuity that have always made me proud to be an American. Give and contribute as much as you can, and spread the word amongst your colleagues, friends and connections. We cannot afford to fail. Of course, depending upon the level of contribution (from $5.00 to $100.00), you get some highly ego-enhancing goodies. Please help all of America's private sector bring back production, jobs, and support the value of our US Dollar and Flag. Thank you. Give as much as you can, either on the website (we use PayPal) or on the GoFundMe site, which uses WePay -- a highly secure processor, but not as well known.

Give yourself something to be proud of. Instead of a cup of coffee, or a movie, or an ugly airport tie, invest some of your hard-earned money in empowering the brave venture sponsors, innovators, inventors, game-changers and garage-officed brain trusts who will be tomorrow's big businesses -- if you and I give them a chance. The greatest return on investment is the small amount that you place in the hands of these workhorses; they don't waste that money on perks -- they squeeze the maximum value out of every penny. Nobody is spoiled. Everyone is grateful. Thank of how much good your spare change or your sacrificed after dinner drinks and extra helpings of dessert will do. You'll be a healthier happier Human Being and a contributor to the best cause in the world. The magic that turns visions and diagrams into real products and services. Join us. We need you. This country needs you.

Entrepreneurs, Small Businesses And Consumers: A New Trend Toward Activism.

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .

---

Entrepreneurs, Small businesses and consumers, rising up in righteous indignation, are leaning less toward benign resignation to enslavement by the few, and more toward activism in a groundswell of disgust with the status quo. Social media has played a great role in this.

The US population is becoming increasingly frustrated and disgusted with the abuses visited upon them by monopolistic, unresponsive utilities companies and governmentally-endorsed service-providers. As author of The Global Futurist, I felt compelled to share this excerpted Yahoo! News article with my fellow entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, business owners, project managers, strategic planners and trend-spotters.

The notion of "Moving Off Of The Grid" is one that is rapidly catching fire amongst the consumer and small business population. They have become increasingly distrustful of these largely uncontrolled organizations. I believe that this signifies a very significant trend that is going to lead to an increased growth in what I shall term "bypass services" -- services that can be used to bypass the local reigning monopolists.

Further, I believe that this trend and tendency will cross many different service sectors from automobile fuels, to energy sources, to telecommunications, to transportation, to healthcare and a variety of other services upon which the populace has come to depend.

This is increasingly evidenced by the acceptance of the idea of sustainability, the market movement toward hybrid automobiles, alternative energy source utilization and the cutting of any umbilical cord which leads to a controlling, monopolistic, plutocratic and domineering mother-figure utility or dominant territorial service provider who likely paid for the territory won in a transaction that was not structured in the public interest.

This increasing distrust of large utilities, sole-source suppliers, and of government-at-large is being further spurred by the proliferation of negative news and transparency created by the growing popularity and ready accessibility of social media. Add a few "classified" documents disseminated by such organizations as WikiLeaks, and the anti-establishment is slowly but surely growing.

It is almost a cultural throwback to the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States where our gas-guzzling musclecars (yet to experience our first artificially-created exploitative 'gasoline shortage') sported decorative (but thought-provoking) bumper stickers which imparted such wisdom as "Question Authority" and "Visualize World Peace"...with the occasional dark-windowed van sporting something more portentious, such as "The Only Solution Is Revolution."

The trend spells a grassroots groundswell of discontentment and activism. It will be fascinating to see how far this movement will be permitted to escalate and proclaim itself before it is either palliated or repressed by the most powerful and elite elements who are the puppeteers holding most of the strings, and most of the cards, as well.

Regardless, our conformist domestic and global cultures are starting to become riled after years of mainstream media-induced hypnotism and reliance on "too-big-to-fail" bulwark establishments. This has the potential to create an environment which will be increasingly receptive to entrepreneurship, small businesses, and [hopefully] a bit of re-Humanization.

Here is the article:

NetflixHelps People Cut Cable Cord, Report Says

NICK BILTON, On Wednesday June 15, 2011, 4:23 pm EDT

It has now been a couple of years since I cut my cable and began exclusively watching Internet video on my home television. I still feel that it was one of the wiser decisions I've made with technology, saving me hundreds of dollars a year and countless headaches dealing with a cable company.

But was this just a move to be expected of a techie? Some have speculated that cutting the cable cord is simply a fad. But a new report issued on Wednesday suggests that if it is a fad, it's one that's moving into the mainstream.

The report, the result of a survey of 2,000United Statesadultbroadbandusers, found that people who useNetflixto streamInternet videoto their televisions are twice as likely to cancel, or slim down, theircable televisionoptions as they were a year ago.The report comes from the Diffusion Group, aDallas-based media research firm.

When the Diffusion Group surveyed Netflix members in 2010, they found that 16 percent of customers were planning to downgrade or cancel theircable televisionservice. During the same survey this year, the number of customers planning to make that change had doubled to 32 percent.

The report also found that although the majority of those surveyed cited economic reasons and "the need to save money" as a rationale for canceling cable, 34 percent said a growing use ofonline video was the culprit, "two-thirds of which citeNetflix in particular as the primary perpetrator," the report says.

Now, instead of having only the option to pay a cable company to deliver content, people have an array of choices and devices. Netflixclearly saw this trend coming, and over the past year has started offering its video content on mobile phones, tablets, computers, game consoles, or devices that hook up to a television, including Boxee and Apple TV. The company also began offering customers a streaming-only option late last year. ####

Perhaps some positive change will blossom from this new season of discontent. I hope so. Expect interesting times ahead for cult leaders, thought-leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Ultimately, consumers stand to benefit the most.

Faithfully,

Douglas E Castle
