 Calling All Dreamers: A Letter From Our National President Uplift, Educate, Empower and Promote Big ideas are all around us. Everyday I meet brothers who have come up with innovations that nobody ever thought of before. In each case, the idea grew out of a need, something that was missing, a frustration, the desire to make life a little easier, a little better. These are slap-yourself-on-the-side-of-the-head, obvious ideas. But it took people with the desire and motivation to see them through. If you’re sitting on a big idea right now- an idea that could make you millions- it’s time to get moving. Don’t let anything stop you. Don’t let anyone dismiss your idea and tell you that your dream won’t work. When in doubt, do. The American dream is within our reach. I’ve literally seen it happen hundreds of times. The people who turn their big ideas into millions come from every conceivable background. They’re middle-class moms, factory workers, college students, veterans, people with disabilities, office workers, retirees, everyone and anyone. Ordinary peoplesome faced with obstacles- are stepping up and achieving extraordinary goals. They share one thing in common. They were passionate about their ideas- so passionate that when the naysayers pile on, they kept shrugging them off, believing they could achieve their desires… and they did. They acted on their beliefs. And their achievements represent a revolution that’s sweeping across our nation, changing the way business is done. News flash: We no longer live in a top-down world. We live in an age of individual empowerment. The business culture has undergone the most radical transformation since the Industrial Revolution. Turning individual dreams into reality is much more possible than ever before. The smart ones are those who figure out how to get a piece of the action. Forget the old excuses. Drop the Us vs. Them mentality. You don’t need a corporation to make it. You don’t need your own factor to produce a product. You don’t even need an office. From your home, you can build your own Website, do your own research, create an electronic sales force, join a community of like-minded people, and sell your product. Dreaming is the new reality, the big ideal is the ultimate reality show. My guests are the embodiment of everything that’s wonderful and hopeful about who we are as a fraternity in the twenty-first century. Yours in the Bonds, Sir. Anthony J. Gaye,
