We’ve created a worldwide map-based directory inside of a private membership association that helps you easily locate:
- regenerative farms
- alternative schools
- holistic practitioners of all types
- farm to table restaurants
& more in your local area
And signing up your farm, practice, school or restaurant is totally free!
We just need your help raising awareness for it.
People have no idea that all of this is available on archive dot org for free, like every other old children’s show which isn’t a funnel for developing a gambling addiction. You can just watch all of these 90s Beatrix Potter adaptations right here: https://t.co/OklEKfHHNo
The city of Novato CA is trying to steal the land that a senior mobile home community is on, after those seniors spent 30 years paying off the loan for it.
Marin Valley Mobile Country Club (MVMCC) is a 55+ community in Novato. Many of the residents live on fixed incomes. In 1997, they secured a deal with the city government to purchase the land using a $17 million loan.
According to the agreement, and to everyone involved with the deal at the time (including Pat Ecklund, a current Novato city council member), the ownership of the land would be transferred to MVMCC once the loan was paid off.
Now that the residents have paid $30 million in principle and interest, and it is scheduled to be paid off next year, Mayor Rachel Farac and city officials are now reneging on the agreement, and are entertaining offers from other buyers.
MVMCC residents have even tried to purchase the land for an additional $20 million (in addition to the $30 million they've already paid), and the city refuses to sell it to them.
This is a complete and total betrayal of these residents, who planned to live out their golden years on land that they've paid for.
We're going to help them keep their homes. In the next post on this thread, I'll tell you how you can help.
Message from God for someone today:
You are ready now.
There were things you prayed for before that you weren’t ready to carry yet. Not because I was punishing you… but because I was protecting you.
Wealth requires stewardship.
And I’ve been building something in you that matters more than money: wisdom, restraint, discernment, patience, and the ability to manage what you have without fear.
Because I don’t just want to give you increase. I want to keep you in peace when it comes.
stop applying for bank loans like a normal person
there are $2.3 billion in government grants available right now that you never have to pay back
not loans. not credit. free money from the federal government sitting in databases that 99% of business owners have never opened
https://t.co/qroTJxGzyK has 1,900+ active grant opportunities RIGHT NOW. the SBA has grants. the USDA has grants for rural businesses. the department of energy has grants for clean tech. state governments have their own programs. cities have their own programs. there are grants specifically for:
women-owned businesses (SBA Women's Business Centers + Amber Grant: $10,000 monthly, $25,000 annually)
veteran-owned businesses (StreetShares Foundation, VetFran)
minority-owned businesses (MBDA grants, National Urban League)
businesses in rural areas (USDA Rural Business Development Grants up to $500K)
businesses in specific industries (SBIR/STTR grants for tech and research: $275K-$1.5M)
businesses creating jobs in underserved areas (Community Development Block Grants)
nobody applies because the application process is intentionally intimidating. 20-40 page proposals. budgets. timelines. impact statements. most business owners see the requirements and close the tab
that's exactly what they want. fewer applicants means less competition means higher approval rates for the people who actually submit
SBIR grants (Small Business Innovation Research) give tech startups $275K in Phase 1 and up to $1.5M in Phase 2. the acceptance rate for Phase 1 is around 25%. one in four. that's insanely high for free money. most people assume it's 1% and don't bother
USDA Rural Business Development Grants go up to $500K for businesses in rural areas. if your business operates outside a major metro, you might qualify. population threshold varies but generally towns under 50,000 population. a huge portion of America qualifies
the Amber Grant gives $10,000 every month to a woman-owned business. the application is one page. one page for $10,000 in free money. they've given away millions and the applicant pool is embarrassingly small relative to eligible businesses
btw, the application is not about your business. it's about their mission. every grant-making organization has specific goals. job creation. innovation. community impact. environmental improvement. your application needs to show how YOUR business accomplishes THEIR goals. frame everything around impact, not revenue
hire a grant writer if the grant is over $50K. professional grant writers charge $2,000-$5,000 and have 40-60% success rates. spending $3,000 to access $275K is the best ROI in business
apply to 10-15 grants simultaneously. it's a numbers game. the people winning grants are applying to everything they qualify for, not just one and praying
now combine this with 0% credit:
get $150K in 0% business credit to fund operations TODAY while your grant applications process (grants take 60-180 days). if you get approved for a $275K SBIR grant, the grant money pays off the credit cards. you've been operating on free capital the entire time and now have $275K in non-dilutive funding with zero debt
even the government wants to give you money. you just never asked
(we build full capital stacks: 0% credit + grant positioning + SBA. link in bio for business owners doing $250k+/yr)
Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. Thats for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!
Their granddaughter was about to bury herself in $200K of student debt.
Ron and Marie—ages 72 and 70, sitting on $4.2M—were going to let it happen.
Not because they didn't care. Because they thought they couldn't help without major tax consequences.
Emma just got accepted to Syracuse. Cost: $68K/year. Four years: $272K total.
Her parents made too much for financial aid but not enough to cover it.
Emma was looking at $200K+ in loans. At 6% interest, that's $2,200/month for 10 years. Or she could stretch it to 20 years at $1,500/month.
Either way, she'd be paying off college until she was in her 40s.
Ron told me, "We've got more money than we'll ever spend, and we're going to watch her drown in debt for 20 years? That doesn't make sense."
But they thought writing a $68K check would blow past gift limits and create a tax mess.
Here's what I showed them:
If they write Emma a $68K check directly, yeah—they're over the $38K annual limit as a couple.
But if they write that same check directly to Syracuse University for her tuition?
Completely different rule.
Payments made directly to educational institutions don't count against gift limits at all.
Unlimited. No gift tax. Nothing to report.
And in the same year, they could still give Emma $19K each ($38K total) for rent, food, whatever she needs.
Ron stopped me. "Wait. We can pay her full tuition and still give her $38K in cash? In the same year?"
Yep. The tuition payment doesn't touch gift limits if it goes straight to the school.
They wrote the first check that week. $68K to Syracuse's bursar office.
Most people with serious wealth let their grandkids take on crushing debt because they think they can't help without tax problems.
Then they die and leave money the grandkids don't really need anymore because they've already spent 15 years making loan payments to banks.
Ron and Marie flipped that script.
I highly encourage any one under the age of 30 to pick up skiing/snowboarding. It will most likely change every single one of your lives. You will go on trips around the world youve never imagined solely for that. You will have snow trips with friends youll never forget. Youll teach your kids at a very young age. Youll have an annual week-long snow trip with your family to your favorite mountain. You will feel the joy of living and be invigorated by it. You will look forward to these events throughout the week. Youll look forward to Winter in the Summer. You should pick up skiing/snowboarding. Thank me later.
