Every company, organisation, government agency or sole trader can enhance what they do and save lives just by registering as a charity so that all their net profits are then spent on new innovation that benefits everyone and charitable causes. Founders, employees, partners and investors all gain from the large added goodwill that is gained that translates into profits that then are used to fund innovation that saves lives. The founders and shareholders can even more money from the enterprise as they gain by getting large performance pay packages that are greater than their original personal profit as the company is making larger profits from the extra goodwill it gains.

For example. A sole trader changes their status to a charity and donates net profit to new innovative charitable work. They then gain large amounts of goodwill from this and so get more and more work enabling them to get rich on performance pay WHILE saving lives with the extra funds that they raise which are then spent on innovative sustainable charitable work. http://www.whymandesign.posterous.com has more details. http://www.WEBiversity.org has more video's

Traidmark.org = Not / For Profit + Institutional Innovation + Philanthropy (generating goodwill which enhances success and make everyone richer with performance pay)

This is a FREE way for any organisation to get instant goodwill and create Institutional Innovation so you gain more success and can help more people.

Get RICHER and do good for FREE! Sounds too good to be true but it is true. The hard part is to give away 100% net profit (which sounds counter intuitive but is the genius part when you get over the egoic greed of wanting to own the profit). When you give away 100% net profit your organisation essentially becomes a charity fundraising organisation so the enhanced goodwill you get will create so much success that you will get more back in performance pay from working in your organisation. So you can get richer by giving away your wealth! The cooperative have been doing this for generations but they did not invest all the funds in innovative charitable activity and that is the second stroke of genius. By investing the funds in INNOVATIVE charitable activity your funds can solve problems in the most efficient way once and for all enabling you to go on and work on new exciting solutions to other problems. If you dont know how to find innovative solutions ask us @whymandesign @FREEtraid

All you have to do is pledge to donate 100% net profit into new Innovative ways to solve human problems and you will gain

Enhanced Goodwill - leading to customer/client/supplier/employee/customer loyalty and enhanced productivity which makes you more successfull and is an added USP you can use against your competition which allows everyone in your company to get richer through enhanced performance pay.

Save lives - You can save lives by using your net profit to innovatively create ways to solve human health/education... problems.

Funds are therefore continually iinvested in new charitable projects that benefit everyone creating an infinitely scaling cycle of success.

Your could say...

Traidmark.org = COOP where funds are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to members

Traidmark.org =  SHAREHOLDER owned company where dividends are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to shareholders

Traidmark.org =  CHARITY where funds are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to the same old charitable use

Traidmark.org =  GOVERNMENT where funds are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to the same old government.

Cooperative (or Social Enterprise) + 100% Net Profit Philanthropy (spent on INNOVATIVE NOT FOR PROFIT WORK) = Traidmark.org FREE Business Structure EVERYONE can use.

The more you give the more you get. http://www.TRAIDmark.org

Traidmark.org is a free way to enhance any organisation by donating net profit to innovative charitable work while motivating employees with performance pay. Essentially it is like a coop but where 100% net profit is donated to new charitable work.

Cooperatives have been successfully growing fro many years such as http://www.co-operativebank.co.uk & http://www.co-operative.coop & they can be enhanced by using the TRAIDmark.org model to spend the funds they generate on Innovative new charitable work. Here are also a few examples of BRAND NEW Innovative Entrepreneurs selflessly donating 100% net profit to innovative charitable work...

http://www.the-clarity-project.com & http://www.thetrulylovingcompany.com

Tweet @TRAIDmark for more details.

We would like to give you a FREE way you can beat your competition while improving your work which is called the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business model (where you get rich with performance pay and you gain from added goodwill created by donating funds to charity?) This is essentially a Cooperative or Not for Profit but where any surplus funds are invested in NEW Innovative Not for Profit activity that solves different social problems innovatively.

It solves several issues.
A. It invests any wealth generated into more Innovation creating Institutional Innovation
B. It stops organisations getting large (large organisations become inefficient)
C. It stops anyone running any organisation from getting corrupted by power/wealth as all organisations are small and efficient.
D. It rewards success (through the application of Innovation) in a clever way that encourages selfless hard work by enabling the successful people who use the business model to go on an invent then develop new innovations so they create the freedom co continually make new ways to help others. It also rewards hard work with performance pay so anyone motivated by greed can still get rich (without owning the organisation).

Traidmark.org =  GOVERNMENT where funds are donated to INNOVATIVE charitable use rather than given to the same old government.

Traidmark.org enables everyone to gain from hard work (performance pay) while adding value to any enterprise by funding innovation and running your enterprise as a Not For Profit or For Profit organisation that invests any surplus funds (or 100% net profit in the case of the for profit organization).So you gain popularity, volunteers, donations, collaborations and importantly goodwill by pledging to donate up to 100% net profit (or all surplus funds after R&D) BEFORE you become successful which in turn increases your chances of becoming successful.

Imagine if Warren Buffett or Bill Gates Li Ka-shing George Soros Howard Hughes (or any of the other philanthropists that are listed below http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_philanthropists) had pledged to donate their riches before they earned them. How much more funds could they have created using the added goodwill they would have cumulatively created over the years (not to mention the good work that they could have done to solve problems earlier if the money had been used as soon as it had been created). 1. This is a great way to enhance philanthropy by funding creativity and rewarding philanthropists and 2. importantly it means that everyone can become a philanthropist no matter what they earn. We can all be Microphilanthropists and gain greater success so we benefit personally too. One clear example is that Microfinance organisations can use this model to enhance the way they innovate.

It is that simple. All that you or anyone has to do is agree to donate all surplus funds to innovative charitable work (which you can set up and create so you are not giving money away but rather spending it on amazing new charitable projects you create).

This importantly increases creativity and inventions by creating institutional innovation by forcing any organisation to invest suplus funds into new innovative ways to solve problems. This is especially useful for governments and charities or philanthropic or training funds that have to be spend by certain dates every year as the funds can be saved by wise investments then used to fund pioneering innovation that will be able to efficiently solve problems through creative blue sky activities that build on and improve existing activities in an even more effective way.

This is how it works.
The organisation invests surplus profit in NEW Innovative enterprise (which helps make that organisation continually evolve because of this structure) which creates better services through institutional innovation. Everyone who works hard can still get financially rewarded through performance pay but there is a goodwill boost as everyone knows the organisation is solving human problems in the most efficient way possible by using innovation.

This adds significant customer loyalty and enables hard work to be rewarded through pay while investing in innovative solutions to social problems.

Anyone can implement the Traidmark business model. This is because any surplus created can be invested in innovative social enterprise which makes it a lot easier to 'do good'.

So Traidmark is promoting the benefits of creating and running Not for profits that importantly invest any surplus cash in NEW innovative social enterprise not for profits. This enables good work to continually evolve and fund even more innovative work that is more efficient.

No No No Yes. Saying Yes / No Happiness and 8 hours!
1.
What is the unmeasurable negative effect of people saying no or being negative on you me and society? Is it worse to ignore someone than say no to them? Probably...

Here is a list of obvious ways to handle any situation from bad to good...

BAD - Insult, Ignore, Say No, Suggest something, Encourage, Congratulate, Say Yes, Recommend - GOOD

So it takes less effort to say to someone that they are doing well and makes you feel good too.
It appears to be all linked to the EGO that makes some people confused and think that they are better than others so don't want to care or help them which leads to the BAD reactions to any/every enquiry. As these people are negative to other people they get negative responses too leading to a cycle of negativity which makes the egotistical person feel worse and worse. The person who has control of their EGO and acts selflessly helping others gets rewarded many times over as others are nice back to them creating a cycle of GOOD where everyone wins. Often stress creates the negative cycle but this can be combated by looking at others who have 'less' making you feel humble and by laughing at ourselves as in the grand scheme of things nothing we do (nor our lives) appear to matter.

2.
This leads on to how you live your life. To enjoy it or to reach some goal that your parents/society has imposed on you? The TED talk below makes me step back and think about what is important and how money and status are worth less than self belief and pride...
Do not look for happiness but create it with what you have got.


http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html

When people have no choice they change their preferences to make them more happy about what they have. When they have choice they are always comparing what they have to others so are less happy as they compare with the average.

On average nothing is average!

3.
Which leads to what you do with 8 hours of your life! well 3 sets of 8 hours.


8 hours working...

If one person can do a job better than someone else should they take ove the job?

How does that apply to what you do? Would you step aside if someone could do your job better than you?

If you step aside then you would be able to do a different job that you are even better at.

So everyone should keep looking out for someone who could do their job better than them. When they find that person they should give them their job so that they can go on to work in areas that they excel in.


8 hour sleeping...

Is there a way to do good while you sleep? Create a website that offers advice/ helps others that will be online while you sleep.


8 hours relaxing...

Is there a way to do good while you relax? Finding your passion in life and using that to build something that can be used to help others in your local/global community be it art/writing/acting/dancing/singing/playing...

How
could it best be facilitated so everyone can contribute without
comments being lots in the depths of the web? It seams that there is SO
much potential for government and the public to achieve using new
media. The key appears to be how to communicate this potential and
empower everyone to take that step down the rabbit hole of independent
innovation and collaboration at everyones own grass roots (though this
has been done outside of new tech since just after the beginning of
time:). Is there a way to reward individuals to take risks by trying
new things and fail/succeed?

 

The
dot com approach of rewarding successful innovation by buying it out
appears to work for successful innovation. How best to reward
innovators that try things that fail is unclear. It may be best to
enable lots of innovators to innovate without rewarding success so that
peer review enables success to be rewarded socially while larger
volumes or innovation can be facilitated by funding lots of people with
smaller amounts.

The http://www.Traidmark.org
business structure aims to illustrate how this can be done by funding
innovators to create products within a not for profit that then invests
any surplus funds in other innovators who are working on different
products/services. This enables commerce and government to interact
with the public while safely funding innovation that fails and succeeds
with interesting outcomes that exceed expectations.

Problems to Progress

Edit

 0 Comments - Add comment Written on 21-Jun-2009 by WhymanDesign

Here are a few problems that will need to be solved to help progress.

1.
Duplication and confusion slow down learning/development/innovation/progress and can make progress reverse as individuals go off in the 'wrong' direction. For example if there are two sites doing the same thing then that splits the user/customer/supplier communities into two making the collaboration and partnership potential halved while enabling people to duplicate the same work.

How can this be solved?...

One way is to concentrate or rank organisations that are doing the 'most' good above others. So not for profit organisations that are efficient should be ranked higher than commercial organisations. So a not for profit search engine is a good start. https://www.anoox.com is one example.

2.
And finding content that you can reuse and remix is equally important. http://search.creativecommons.org and http://www.jamendo.com are two examples.

If you know of a better way to solve this please add it to http://www.UGCunion.org

3.
The same goes for any form of assessment from exams to job applications.
Assessment is also a key area that needs to be looked at. How can assessment and feedback be collected in a scientific manner that does not neglect the unknown and unquantifiable?

4.
Centralised networks and organisations will fall down if the central core is disrupted. It is therefore imperative that networks and organisations are restructures to be decentralise and community based so that they can not entirely collapse. This also fosters collaboration and evolution which dramatically enhance innovation and progress for the benefit of everyone. http://yacy.net/ is one example of decentralised web search.

Is anything free? Surely everything costs the creator something. How to fund more?

How is it best to give creators rewards to make more work?
There is so much potential with new media but the one key problem holding the long tail of innovation back appears to be how innovators earn a living and how they get social feedback on their work without it being copied.
And rewarding people in a way that encourages them to collaborate and share is key as that creates so much more public and private value if done in the right way.

Financial and social rewards appear to be the two key areas. 
These need to be measured in short and long term rewards relating to short and long term gains/progress.

Which reward processes work for different people in different places along the production process from researcher to inventor to producer, retailer and manager?

 

Is anything free? Surely everything costs the creator something. How is it best to give creators rewards to make more work?
