The Will to Live

The call is for a better world, new integrated systems, which eliminates Ego and Greed, moves the artisan, dreamer, planner, thinker or visionary, to the top of the social ladder, while downplaying personal wants and replacing them with public needs. Placing efforts to serve the many before benefiting the few. The average citizen, worker, union member, self-employed, politically active, in other words every individual, must understand, the existing reality, before committing to or taking a position in foreseeable disputes, insurrection or war.
The current reality has seen massive declines in national revenue, forcing the executive branch to try desperately to maintain or slowly reduce the spending levels of essential public services; health, social services, education, sports and culture, works and transportation, while handing over commercially viable activities; food production, telecommunications, waste, water and electricity, non-essential travel, to persons; groups or individuals, who can afford to efficiently manage such operations, workers' unions, private investors or existing companies. Such entrepreneurs can bring innovation to improve these operations, for example, Tidal Tubing simultaneously moving treated water, people and cargo from place to its ultimate destination.
The obvious solution is to increase employment, reducing the unemployment rate, and making a busy productive person into a peaceful happy person. Using the nation's cash or easily converted to cash savings, should only be as a last resort. There are extremely valuable unused or under-utilized assets, controlled by the executive branch, which can be activated and made productive, while being very heavily regulated. Lands, natural resources, transportation routes, operation licenses, can be leased to booster viable proposals. Only risk-takers, entrepreneurs, can move these stagnant investments into job creating and taxpaying operations. For example, operating multi-purpose Accommodations, of standard design, to host community, sport and culture activities, also serving as an emergency shelter, inviting and protecting out of town visitors, while stopping risky, same day or late night, travel.
Attracting investment, fund raising, and even, getting bank loans, to build or expand operations, offering employment and returns on investment, while withholding payroll taxes and paying sales, profit and corporation taxes, requires a very detailed Strategic Plan; extracting an Investment Prospectus and/or Business Plan. The cabinet; executive branch of Government, an initial contributor by providing lands or other licenses, would need a commitment in time and effort, the essential experience, skill and expertise, proof of the ability to raise the needed working capital, to back the project. Only the entrepreneur, with a burning desire and the right motivation, can, however, supply that unique industry changing, growth sustaining, idea. For example, changing Healthcare into Lifestyle choices; incorporating nutritional needs, mental and physical activities and environmental concerns, thus reducing chronic diseases and its annual budgetary allocation.
Hence, the key to the nations economic recovery and sustainable development is its entrepreneur; the risk-taker's idea, motivation and desire. The Society for Entrepreneur and Economic Development (SEED) has undertaken to support such risk-takers, quietly reaching out to all, structuring Strategic Plans, formatted to the highest international standards and confidentially forwarding it to the head of the appropriate Government Agency, with general oversight for this project type and its benefits to the citizenry. Renewable Energy is one such success, having Government backing as to locations and license to generate electricity to the national grid, it was easy to get the equity investment prospectus funded and a bank overdraft, now all basic needs are met.
The new economy must be made to address social needs and the preservation of the environment. Leaving the current economic system for those wishing more personal gains, while regulated closely, this must be beneficial for the majority. SEED promotes Awarding and Rewarding the Entrepreneur; idea-providers, for their success with professional certification and title, the Support Entrepreneur for the risks taken in backing and bringing such idea into industry and, of course, the Master Entrepreneur whose time and effort is spend on multiple ideas into long-term successes.
