Why No One In Their Right Mind would CROWDFUND
NEVER CROWDFUND
1) Equity Crowdfunding is a Felony.
2) Donation-based Crowdfunding is for Non-Pofits
It will only get you in trouble unless you are a non-profit. One of my friends is former SEC Comissioner and happens to teach Law at George Washington. The SEC & IRS send their attorneys to him for their continuing Ed Credits. Because they are his students, they tell him what's coming from their agencies.
A for-profit that accepts donations, must pay 50% in taxes to the IRS. This isn't being done. They are just letting that pile up and they are going to start levying bank accounts. They don't have to make any announcements because the laws have been on the books and KNOWN for decades.
KickStarter & IndieGoGo aren't culpable because they state in the agreements that you sign, that you are responsible.... but who reads those things, right?
Next, there is quite a bit of fraud in crowdfunding... people raise money, then never follow through. You only hear about the big wins but for each dollar that makes it for good, there are $42 that go down the tubes and taken out of the economy.
Would you like access to legal Capital Resources? Are you seeking the monies for other valuable resources for your business?
Consider CEO Space: The world's oldest, largest & most successful network for CEOs, Entrepreneurs and Visionary investors.
CEO Space is an entrepreneurial training and world class business networking organization, providing MBA-level training and development and an immersion experience of cooperation that results in income acceleration through exponential business growth.

Why Shark Tank was a FLOP.
RIP SHARK TANK
Not many people even know what Shark Tank is.
That's because not too many people watched the trainwreck on ABC Television.
Here, we'll uncover the truth behind the actual ratings.
Sure, it had a twitter following, though even the majority who followed it on twitter didn't have much of a following.
It's major problems?
It was mean spirited.
It was competitive
The sharks took advantage of entrepreneurs
The show didn't do a good job of education
People don't want to see that
By mean spirited there were some awful personal attacks by the Sharks, who actually weren't as business savvy as the show built them up to be.
The show could have been collaborative, but instead, they chose the competitive model. The same model that Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, W. Edwards Demming, Alan Dohrmann, Buckminster Fuller and Walt Disney stated would eventually cripple the United States. (It's now crippled the global economy). The solution: a business model akin to the days when an entire community would raise a barn, sink a well and build the fences and homes.
The sharks would take advantage of desparate and uneducated Entrepreneurs. They would strike deals such as taking 51% of a company for $40,000 or 60% for 90k. They would then snicker and congratulate each other for "what a steal" they got the company for.
At CEO Space, I see deals like 20% for 5,000,000 or 2 million, or 3. 5% for 100k, etc., on a consistent basis. It is the norm at CEO Space. In 2009, CEO Space has generated over $3 Billion Dollars in funding for its members, while all the banks and venture capital firms were sitting on their hands. That was in just 5 meetings. In a full season of Shark Tank, I don't think the entrepreneurs spent more than $3 Millon total.
The only education happening on Shark Tank was how to get screwed. There was no drill down on language, there was no conversation about, what one needs to do to become successful. If you watch SharkTankTVshow.com, you will watch an investment banker do an excellent job of educating entrepreneurs.
American's don't like to see quasi-rich people taking advantage of people trying to get ahead. We're big-hearted & soft. A brilliant example of that is the overwhelming outpouring of acceptance of Under Cover Boss which came on after the Super Bowl, on CBS.
RATINGS TRUTH
The sharks are bragging that the viewership for the Season Finale on Feb. 5th, were the highest ever with 4.7 million viewers. The lemmings that shill for the show are quick to put that out there as well. That's very clever manipulation of the truth.
The fact of the matter is that the ratings were still under a 1.4 and was second to last in the time slot, as shown on TVbyTheNumbers.com.
The history of the show is that it began on a Sunday and failed there so they moved it to Tuesdays, but it flopped there too and ABC tried to bury it on a Friday evening and tried to revive it against other weak shows at other networks. #FAIL.
Wikipedia showed the shows fate in the summer time. If you are able to read between lines, it was easy to see that the show canceled. I reported as much in the Fall but was attacked by the Twitteratti. Still am, by some. Meh~
Two of the Sharks were on twitter begging for folks to write into ABC to continue the show. They were @BarbaraCorcoran & @TheSharkDaymond. They must not be doing too well. On Monday, after the Finale, One of the Sharks twittered the following: "@robertherjavec: Shark Tank finale tonight on ABC. What will I do on Friday nights now ??" Later, it was discovered on http://www.abc.go.com/schedule that the show had been removed from the roster.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: Some would argue it's not cancelled, "it just didn't get renewed". Same thing in my eyes.
The unfortunate part is that CEO Space member April Morris could have benefited from the additional publicity. Her show was to air on Feb. 5 but got pushed out a week due to the tragedy that was the Haiti Earthquake. The network was smart enough that even earthquake releif would outdraw the BUST of a show they had with Shark Tank.
April, who is @ThinGloss on Twitter, was told that her segment would air on February 12th. The network then said that they postponed her show until further notice
which means they won't have a second season because the season finale was on Friday.
"But wait a minute Dave, people on the show have benefited from TV."
Of course they did. It's TV. But just think what it would have done if people actually watched the show! The past participants aren't bragging how much they made from the show, they just bragged that the traffic crashed their servers.
Consider that StickySheets.com made over $60,000 when Whoopie Goldberg held their product up on the show and said how great it was for 30 seconds, and then was off to the races. Consider that Dr. Dawn Bain, another CEO Space member, and CEO of Azura Dawn made over $16,000 per minute her first time on QVC and has then been invited back several times. That is what the power of TV can do for you when people watch.
GOOD NEWS:
CEO Space may be bringing about a great replacement that will teach entrepreneurs.
Kevin Harrington is now a CEO Space member, who - while having quite a bit to learn, does have quite a bit to give and mentor all the while he's being mentored.
Membership had been extended to all sharks back in the Summer. None stepped forward until Kevin Harringon did at the Super Bowl event where CEO Space was tutoring Executives, Agents, Sponsor ececs, athletes and their families. Former Shark Kevin Harrington is becomming a member of CEO Space. You can hear an interview with Kevin by CLICKING HERE.
Canada has the Dragon's Den which is essentially the same show. Is it worth going after? It's on Hulu after the fact. You can also tune into SharkTankTVshow.com for some excellent entrepreneurial education.
Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to have seen Shark Tank succeed if it were done a bit differently. Did you know that ABC even asked for 2% of profits, in perpetuity? That was before the Entrepreneur got paid. I don't like that. Nobody likes the smell of bad fish.
CEO Space is the world's oldest and largest network for CEOs, Entrepreneurs and Visionary investors.
CEO Space is an entrepreneurial training and world class business networking organization, providing MBA-level training and development and an immersion experience of cooperation that results in income acceleration through exponential business growth.
CEO Space was founded by BJ Dohrmann, whose father was a mentor to Walt Disney, Napoleon Hill, Buckminster Fuller, JFK, Earl Nightingale and many others.
For the last thirty years, BJ has been known as "Coach of the Coaches" ...Anthony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Cannfield, Lisa Nichols, John Assaraf, Loral Langmier, T. Harv Ecker, John Gray, Bob Proctor, Robert Kiyosaki, Les Brown and just about any other big name you can think of, as well as head execs at companies like Starbucks, HSN, 3M, AT&T, ConocoPhillips, and many more. He is now counseling the United Nations and many foreign nations with regard to turning around the global economic crisis via Cooperative Capitalism.
Berny Dohrmann – Top Business Strategist and Founder of CEOSpace – demonstrates a financial GPS for you to navigate through the years ahead:
Bestselling author, multi-billionaire business investor and business specialist Berny Dohrmann shows you:
• How to recognise opportunities in this economic climate.
• Why it’s better to ask for a seat on the board – AND how to do this.

About a third of the members are investors, including millionaires & billionaires. In just 5 meetings in the last year, CEO Space has generated over $3 Billion Dollars in funding for its members, while all the banks and venture capital firms were sitting on their hands.
Investors love CEO Space for three main reasons, among many....
1) Anonymity & Ability to get to know the principles intimately.
2) More quality deal flow in one place than anywhere on earth.

"But why am I not attracting investors?"
This may hold true for you, it's directed not to you but the thousands of posts similar to yours on LinkedIn, Twitter, Message Boards, etc., with folks that are certain they have "The Next Big Thing".
It's doubtful that you're going to find equity partners online.
In this day and time, you're going to have to get belly to belly with investors. You're not going to find them online, you're not going to find them at the local chamber mixer.
"You're going to have to find a place where money hangs out", as Robert Kiyosaki says.
You have to give them a chance to know you and what you're about. There is no better place than a "Country Club of Investors". But you're not going to have to show them that you're serious you have to impress upon them that you belong. Not impress them...Angels aren't looking to be impressed. Impress UPON them that you are what they are looking for.
You do this through getting in their club, then learning the language of capital, then taking the steps needed to give them confidence of seeing what they feel is right, and largely, by getting to know them personally... getting to be their friend.
If you're going to play hoops with Michael Jordan, you're not going to do that by hanging around the courts at Venice Beach or Laguna. You're likely to make acquaintance with Michael by hanging around the Player's Club at Cesar's Palace, with the other high rollers. ....and they're not going to let you in just because they saw you on an email list.
This advice comes from someone who saw $3 Billion in Angel money changing hands in 2009, when Banks and Venture Capital was sitting on the sidelines.
For all of you reading this, don't take it personal, take it to heart. It's the best advice you'll find, prior to the next step, which is finding such a club such as CEOSpace, that offers you a money-back guarantee and has a 21-year history of success of some household brands, members who are at some of the largest companies on earth.

The "Pay it Forward" of Business
In the 2000 film "Pay It Forward," people change their expectations about giving. Instead of getting "paid back" when they do something for or give something to somebody else, they tell the person to "pay it forward." The expression catches on nationwide, changing how people look at giving to others.
In Mahayana Buddhism, the bodhisattva vow is an individual's pledge not to fully attain Nirvana until all of humanity attains similar enlightenment. This contagious ethic aims for a chain-reaction in enlightenment.
So what do idealistic films and Eastern religion have to do with Capitalism? Nothing - and everything.
CEOSpace founder Berny Dohrmann does not seem to have either the movie or the bodhisattva vow in mind in his concept of "collaborative capitalism." But the broad principal is the same: when you serve others and nourish the principal of advancing the community first, you begin a movement that returns much more than if you had pursued your own interest to the exclusion of all others.
Dohrmann explains how collaborative capitalism differs from competitive capitalism, and maintains that his notion of collaborative capitalism inherently favors transparency.
In competition-based capitalism the founding principal of business is "The less you know the more I make." The more your endeavor is commoditized by price comparison of known characteristics, the greater your need to reject transparency and thereby preserve pricing flexibility.
In collaboration-based capitalism the founding principal is the creation of value. Value is the catalyst of hyper growth and innovation in markets.
If that sounds a lot more like good old-fashioned honest pricing for honest value than a revolutionary concept, it is. But when Dohrmann first examined the road Capitalism was taking, he realized that honesty and transparency had become unusual under the existing model of the day.
So in 1981, he created CEOSpace, the "original social network," to implement a collaborative capitalist model, eventually expanding to 140 clubs around the world. All members eventually went to one or more of Dohrmann's intensive 10-day seminars, held five times a year.
And that's where a business leader's concept of capitalism gets flipped upside-down.
Each participant shows up with a SNAP, or "human commercial," a clear, concise (30 seconds or less) description of what he can provide--but that "commercial" is at first only background information.
Upon meeting another member, a CEOSpace participant does not ask how he can get help in peddling his product and services. Rather, he immediately asks, "How can I help you?"
Participants work collaboratively, networking to create additional value, matching others' real needs with their own capabilities and resources. If there is "competition" in the model, it is competition to be highly regarded as helpful to other members. The guiding concern is that others flourish; if you are creating value for the CEOSpace community, all the incentives are structured for your own business to flourish as well. The more you help others, the more your own services are "advertised".
If you're tempted to write off Collaborative Capitalism as "Kumbayah Capitalism," a quick look at the program's testimonials should give you pause. Lifelong conservative business leaders, CEOs from the tech field to restaurant management, and authors and trainers agree: CEOSpace gets results.
While Dohrmann's model has common-sense advantages in any economic climate, the events since late 2008 put a fine point on what we mean by "value." The principles at issue can be traced across decades, bearing out the divergence of the modern-day financial system from a value approach. Value is whatever the market will pay for a given product or service; but value becomes purely notional and unmoored from reality, when transparency is evaded or simply foiled outright.
In the midst of the "Great Recession," entrepreneurial capitalism is not only holding its own, it is even (slightly) expanding. Industry and government leaders agree that recovery will depend on the continued and growing expansion of the entrepreneurial sector.
A confluence of easily available social media and a new recognition of the role of value and transparency certainly augur well for Dohrmann's collaborative approach. Sitting at the crossroads of social networking and transparent entrepreneurial capitalism, CEOSpace's "Pay-It-Forward" networking may just be the wave of the future.

In Mahayana Buddhism, the bodhisattva vow is an individual's pledge not to fully attain Nirvana until all of humanity attains similar enlightenment. This contagious ethic aims for a chain-reaction in enlightenment.
So what do idealistic films and Eastern religion have to do with Capitalism? Nothing - and everything.
CEOSpace founder Berny Dohrmann does not seem to have either the movie or the bodhisattva vow in mind in his concept of "collaborative capitalism." But the broad principal is the same: when you serve others and nourish the principal of advancing the community first, you begin a movement that returns much more than if you had pursued your own interest to the exclusion of all others.
Dohrmann explains how collaborative capitalism differs from competitive capitalism, and maintains that his notion of collaborative capitalism inherently favors transparency.
In competition-based capitalism the founding principal of business is "The less you know the more I make." The more your endeavor is commoditized by price comparison of known characteristics, the greater your need to reject transparency and thereby preserve pricing flexibility.
In collaboration-based capitalism the founding principal is the creation of value. Value is the catalyst of hyper growth and innovation in markets.
If that sounds a lot more like good old-fashioned honest pricing for honest value than a revolutionary concept, it is. But when Dohrmann first examined the road Capitalism was taking, he realized that honesty and transparency had become unusual under the existing model of the day.
So in 1981, he created CEOSpace, the "original social network," to implement a collaborative capitalist model, eventually expanding to 140 clubs around the world. All members eventually went to one or more of Dohrmann's intensive 10-day seminars, held five times a year.
And that's where a business leader's concept of capitalism gets flipped upside-down.
Each participant shows up with a SNAP, or "human commercial," a clear, concise (30 seconds or less) description of what he can provide--but that "commercial" is at first only background information.
Upon meeting another member, a CEOSpace participant does not ask how he can get help in peddling his product and services. Rather, he immediately asks, "How can I help you?"
Participants work collaboratively, networking to create additional value, matching others' real needs with their own capabilities and resources. If there is "competition" in the model, it is competition to be highly regarded as helpful to other members. The guiding concern is that others flourish; if you are creating value for the CEOSpace community, all the incentives are structured for your own business to flourish as well. The more you help others, the more your own services are "advertised".
If you're tempted to write off Collaborative Capitalism as "Kumbayah Capitalism," a quick look at the program's testimonials should give you pause. Lifelong conservative business leaders, CEOs from the tech field to restaurant management, and authors and trainers agree: CEOSpace gets results.

CEO Space proves Collaboration vs. Competition, is the New Business Model in Today's Economy
Rapid success, important connections with current and future business partners and changing the world one CEO at a time. These are just a few of the intrinsic values posited by CEO Space, Inc in their proven model of collaborative and cooperative business networking.
As economies recover from the current recession, innovation, growth and stability in companies both small and large becomes evermore important. CEO Space, Inc., the world leader in the free enterprise education of business owners, CEOs and world leaders, is one company that has incorporated the idea of collaboration and cooperation into the retreat it hosts. By doing this they have revolutionized the business coaching retreat industry by bringing together the top minds in fortune companies and creating an environment where everyone -- small businesses, big businesses, authors and entrepreneurs -- is treated as equals, and are introduced to each other by saying “how can I help you”.
High-level speakers such as Les Brown, The World’s Leading Motivational Speaker and Marc Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, share their vision freely as well as learn from members attending the retreat. The idea behind this free-sharing of information and ideas is that it will facilitate growth and innovation in companies through the pooling of these intellectual resources.
The collaborative environment is nothing new to businesses, however for many years the notion has been that cooperating or joining forces with a competitor would result in loss of intellectual property or worse the downfall of one of the businesses doing the cooperating. The results of implementing collaborative environments, not only within the company, but externally as well, have been surprising to those who questioned it in the first place.
Collaborative efforts among businesses and nations in particular have culminated in accelerated growth of revenue, higher quality of product and even economic stability as a result of a higher GNP in nations that stress the idea of collaboration among businesses in their cities.
On a more individual level, participants look at CEO Space’s new collaborative retreat model and are impressed by the high level speakers and the connections they make. To be sure, attendees at these retreats are some of the most important players in the business world today with some of the best connections to be found.
The old axiom that competition is good for business still holds true in the majority of circles. Proponents of a competitive, non-collaborative, business model continually refer to competition as a validation of their ideas. CEO Space’s way of hosting retreats, however, begs the question: What if you can validate your idea amongst a collaborative group of entrepreneurs, make business connections that will help promote your idea and bring that same idea to life? The time to market is cut shorter and growth in revenue and ROI are both attained at a much faster pace.
Still, many businesses hold firm to the idea that competition pushes your business and keeps it from growing sluggish and stagnant. These same businesses also believe that competition forces focus. In some cases this may still be true, but for most businesses this model was based upon the idea that useful knowledge was concentrated in only a few areas. However, with the advent of current technology, information is no longer concentrated, but spread out amongst many individuals, businesses and nations. This makes collaboration and cooperation even more important.
CEO Space has a proven track record of over 20 years of success in their industry and their retreats have helped countless businesses achieve hyper-growth, reliable relationships with high-level business partners, finding and retaining customers and overall saving years in the process of growth for those businesses.
Many businesses and entrepreneurs recognize the necessity of a new business model that emphasizes collaborative environments within the workplace as well as outside collaboration with other businesses. These same businesses are finding that the growth of their revenue is exceeding that of similar companies that choose to maintain the old line that competition is the only way to foster growth and innovation. What they refuse to recognize is that when businesses cooperate, brainstorm and work together, the possibilities for growth, innovation and entrepreneurship are endless.
These same groundbreaking processes are being applied at the worldwide level as well. Nations that invest in a free enterprise based business model are finding that the businesses within their cities can utilize a collaborative environment to grow revenue and in turn grow the national treasury. CEO Space, Inc. has recognized this and has launched their Nation Space retreat initiative to help businesses in sovereign nations increase their Gross National Product and in turn help bring stability and growth to their economy.
In the end, business owners and entrepreneurs alike are finding that cooperative environments that foster collaboration will make more money and retain employees longer. These same businesses are adjusting their business models and “breaking all the rules” by leaving behind the old way of doing things. They are implementing structures within their businesses that create more resources and give people control over their environment. Once they establish their new business model the employees find themselves the recipients of a more collegial environment, one that fosters brainstorming, innovation and trust. As a result, the companies implementing these new ideas are making more money by collaborating than they ever could have, otherwise. CEO Space represents the new model for business development. They are teaching business lessons in a collaborative and cooperative manner. The environment is safe for learning and not competitive. In a nutshell, life lessons are learned in such a manner that business find out that they receive more from giving than taking and that through teaching they are actually learning.

Poor Internet Research leads to being uninformed
Your internet search reviewed of the 1000 to one Good and Positive things about my life contributions to the market place, and 100% of our contributions with CEO SPACE with no blemish of any nature as our CEO’s world wide are fully satisfied with their membership, you found the blog about my 20 year old contempt violation and the many years that went into that battle. This blog exists from a young young blogger we fired over half a decade ago, from the CEO SPACE membership for stealing money from other members, and never completing the web designs he was paid for. He noted he would set up a blog to make “me” the great evil as a revenge for his membership termination. He never paid for his membership in the first place. We told him seven years ago, when he threatened me with all this in the blog world, that we didn’t care and we frankly don’t care today.
Our relationship together has to include that we protect the membership even if it means your discomfort in reading a lop sided blog as a revenge for justified membership termination to protect other members just like YOU remains on line years later. The matter is antique in nature. The facts include www.lsapublishing.com where a movie of my life story is being developed with Russell Crowe agreeing to read the screen play to star in the leading role among others at his level. In each class I ask guests to raise hands to determine who knows I was in prison and who did not know. I tell everyone the story. There are no secrets I our world. I could not be more public about my life if I tried. You should know, in my “crime” the issue related to a charge that disclosures on 87,000 thousand dollars of bond issues, of the billions we sold and marketed in investment world wide, in a firm almost as large as Smith Barney operating in 14 countries and publicly traded, with a claim in court that there should have been a higher standard of disclosures on the small bond issue. Even though no funds were missing or misused by myself and it is record I never profited in any way from the “crime” of contempt. There was no charge or fraud or any of the normal stuff. We defended we met all legal standards and we believed we had and that we did. The prosecutor, my boy hood friend since early grade school in private Catholic education, and through my young adult life, chose to prosecute on the basis “this jury will send a higher standard to the brokers of America”. We defended the law and the facts but we were prosecuted on a CAUSE. Our loss has become the basis of the movie Malicious Prosecution over 20 years later. CEO SPACE has a flawless record, no litigation threatened or otherwise, and no investigations or even inquiries from any state or Federal agency. We are over compliant in all our dealings in over 100 nations and our work with heads of State and the United Nations appears on www.ceospacenation.net. If the blog on line caused you to feel uncomfortable, I can only say the issue over 20 years ago, was vicious and mean spirited in its nature. Also I ask how would that effect your use of CEO SPACE in 2010? I ask that you consider the very famous trainers that with full disclosure on this matter – far more than your blog discovery on line, fight one another to get slots to teach at CEO SPACE, where you work 99% with them and 1% with me. Put me in a bucket of “who cares” as I’m not what your investing in when you acquire a membership and diminish your decision based on “me”. I really am not a factor in your benefit. Your investing in a market place, and in enormous coaching resources, and you have money back guarantee that fully protects you from harm. If your still uncomfortable you will pass on CEO SPACE and we will bless your decision to do.
As you know I speak on the largest stages and venue platforms in the nation, most recently at the Super Bowl to athletes and in Dallas to NBA athletes. I’m booked from Paris to Hong Kong this year as the leading keynote address for huge conferences, and my past adds color to my “over compliance” doctrine where I tried to use my past as a positive asset to help other CEO’s to avoid even the most remote potential to find themselves in unexpected harm’s way as I did so many years ago. I’ve helped quite a few I believe and hope to help many more. Those at the top listen more because of my experience versus in spite of it. I recently spoke to 500 of the leading business owners in Romania at the Government’s request, meeting with the President of the nation and the minister of Finance. I am working with Governments from Pakistan to India to advance entrepreneur sector growth in their nations, with great pride and full disclosure.
I spend my life serving entrepreneurs in this final part of my sharing whatever gifts I have accumulated, now in my 60’s and my only objective is to foster improved results for small business owners. I hope this reply from our Club Presidents who are happy to discuss any further item with you on this topic, as is my long time personal attorney Maria Speth ( a litigator ) who teaches at class, so that your information is more rounded and complete. Although the blog world doesn’t let one reply adequately address the errors such “spin doctoring creates when revenge is the motivation”, I’d do the firing of the blogger individual all over again, because that decision protected our members. I did the right thing even if we have to forgo a good relationship as a consequence over the outflow this many years later. I’m sure you understand our desire to remove any discomfort for you with more full disclosure of the full facts.
The cost of leadership always has a penalty and I fully accept my responsibility.
Sincerely,
Berny Dohrmann
PS: Your open minded collection of greater factual detail is very much appreciated thank you. I’m not very skillful in the blog world and we have never sought to reply to this kind of thing as our legacy contributions are best displayed by the more than 2,000 hours of on line video testimonials from CEO”s worldwide who are active members from more than 100 nations world wide, which includes many law firms and attorneys. One of the Prosecuting attorneys with the government, from the time of this matter have for over a decade elected to teach on our faculty, which itself is a unique statement on the forgoing.
