I have been been seeking a new business venture for the last year or so, frustrated by not really getting the ball rolling on any of my ideas I had, I began reading books hoping to glean some insight... everything from Richard Branson's "Just do it" to Deepak Chopra's "Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" in all the texts the same mantra is repeated... "enjoy what your doing as success will follow" well I like what I am doing right now and am pretty successful, but I want to make a bigger mark. Since my mother's passing in April, this desire has been reignited. and I have tried to use the method of positive thinking to help me... at first I really didn't think it would work. but as time has passed, good things have started to happen... one of the books I read said something to the effect of, "don't worry about the details, your subconscious will be working 24 hours a day for you" and thats true, opportunities have presented themselves and I have gotten many positive emails. the real kicker was when I was going though some of my things at my moms house, and I came across the business plan I jotted down for the Celebrity Art Auction. There it was at the bottom of a box just waiting to be found at that instant, when I needed it most...
So here goes the concept:
Celebrities, Sports Stars, and other famous people donate art they created to be auctioned off. the proceeds go to a non-profit foundation that in turn donates to other organizations, or applies the the proceeds to one of the current projects.
its a WIN-WIN scenario, the "artist" donates time and the knowledge that the time spent creating a unique piece of art will go to a good cause, the winning bidder gets a cool, 1 of a kind piece of art and the knowledge his sale price will go to a good cause.
What better business to be in, but one where all involved come away feeling better..
Well I have lots to do if Im going to make this happen... buying www.starstruckart.org was the first step.
will keep everyone updated.
