I'm often asked, what is this B1G1 that you donate to every month?
Quite simply it's our way of giving back to those who were not fortunate enough to have the resources that we have.
I'm grateful that I was born in the UK at this time in history.
Despite what anyone might argue to the contrary, we have stable government, a fair rule of law, a capitalist economy, great education opportunities and a fair society.
There are opportunities everywhere and for anyone with the right mindset, these opportunities can be turned into wealth for you, your family, your community and for the rest of the world..and when they do turn into wealth, it's only right that the wealth is shared.
Ok, so why not just donate to a regular well-known charity?
Quite simply, I don't trust that they will make the best use of the donations they receive.
They have gotten too big and their administrative costs mean that less and less of the donations actually go tp the people that need them.
B1G1 is different.
As a business we pay B1G1 $365 a year to cover their admin costs and then every single donation made goes directly to the cause we choose to support.
Ok why donate monthly?
Because it comes naturally. There is no guilt giving on an irregular basis. I can ignore the pleading TV adverts, the charity muggers in the street (Chuggers) or the rattling tin knowing that we do more than nearly everyone we know.
It just makes sense.
This is one of those times where I can say, if everyone did this, if every business did this, we would solve a whole host of problems.
