Bridging Heart & Marketing — September 08 Attendees Donate to Help Create Third World Entrepreneurs
ByWe asked everyone present at “Bridging Heart and Marketing II ” to think of those would-be entrepreneurs in other parts of the world who are less fortunate — and to support them with a donation to The Heifer Project International.
They opened their hearts and wallets and expressed their genersoity of spirit.
And in this way “Bridging Heart and Marketing — September 2008” took on even more meaning across the world.
The Heifer Project locates those in need and delivers gifts of livestock and agricultural training so they can support themselves and create an economic foundation from the fruits of the livestock and land.
Those who receive the gifts are trained to husband the livestock as well as apply sustainable farming methods to assure ongoing agricultural production.
It is part of the Heifer Project agreement that the first offspring from the livestock will be given to someone else as a way of spreading economic sustainability as well as strengthening the community.
In that way, the Heifer Project creates entrepreneurs and sets them on their way to self-care and community-care while enjoying economic options that might otherwise never have been available to them.
The money donated by our “Bridging Heart and Marketing II” attendees purchased:
1 Goat
1 Pig
2 Hives of Honeybees
1 Flock of Chicks
1 Flock of Ducklings
1 Flock of Goslings
The Heifer Project will send these animals to families who have been taught to maximize production from their livestock, to improve crop yields, and to turn unproductive land into usable growing space.
Since 1944 The Heifer Project has helped more that 4.5 million families worldwide to become self-reliant and, therefore, personally and economically prosperous.
With huge hearts and spiritual integrity the “Bridging Heart and Marketing II” attendess have added their support to that number.
That’s the essence of the Internet marketers who specialize in Soft Sell Marketing – making a difference, helping others, healing the world.
At our 3rd “Bridging Heart and Marketing” conference, October 9-11, 2009 we will include a similar philanthropic contribution.

I haven’t made it to one of your conferences yet, but I’m putting it on the books for next year! I love the idea of using your event as a philanthropic engine. There are so many ways that each of us can give back. The contribution you all made to the Heifer Project may not seem like much in the face of all the great need in the world, but it sure will make a big difference to the recipients of those animals. Helping one person or one family at a time might seem slow, but there’s a ripple effect that can spread throughout a community. Thanks for your contribution.

Hi Sharon,
Thanks for your heart.
It’s a REAL pleasure to send off what we collect, choose the livestock we can purchase, and know someone can begin to create a life for themselves because of what we’ve done.
Instead of being overwhelmed buy the need, we need to do what we can.
Next year’s conference will take place — October 9-11. We’re asking people if they would prefer Los Angeles or Las Vegas (Las Vegas because airline fares are less expensive due to the influence of the casinos). Which would you prefer?
Thanks for Participating,
Because It’s All in the Connection,
Judith & Jim
PS — we’re launching the Soft Sell Marketers Association October 1 (the website is in the works) for the purpose of giving a home to Soft Sell marketers so we can face into and resolve the issues such as respect and balance and care. We will let everyone know when the site is ready.
