I really  appreciate all of the visitors that have come here from Scoble's blog and from Mark Cuban's blog.  None of you knew what to expect, few of you commented, but I do appreciate you stopping by.

I really appreciate a telephone call I got tonight that I can't share the details of yet.  There are prerequisites I have to meet in order to receive a potential gift.

One of these things is writing a business plan.  So here's my "Big Idea".  I am going to set up a WiKi, and I am going to ask (beg) all of you to help me write a business plan for a non-profit franchise business that plans on never making a dime!

Interested?  Comment.  Curious? Comment.  Hate it? Comment?

I'll set the WiKi up tomorrow and link to it here.  Comment! :)

Seriously - it is rather difficult to cold call companies with an idea that is so new it doesn't even exist beyond this blog - and then ask them for some type of financial support.  ESPECIALLY when you are combining so many new technologies into something as traditional as a non-profit.

1. I want to franchise it.
2. I want to create a WiKi where the community writes the business plan.

These are only two "new" ideas (as far as traditional non-profits go) - and I don't think anyone has asked the community to write a business plan with them, non-profit or not.

I am thinking of a somewhat unconventional non profit, and I need your encouragement to make it happen.  I am not asking for your money - just keep prodding me.  Make me do this.  Don't let me quit.
