Here is where our expert authors will share their knowledge and tips about venture investing.

Launch Day is coming soon. That is when the doors open and you can be among the first to get involved, in time to move ahead in 2009 on a positive note no matter what the economy brings. We have great programs and literally everybody can benefit.

We believe that the timing of the FairShares programs is rather fortuitous as they have the potential to mitigate the effects of the current economic downward spiral. That is because FairShares is focused on the fundamental processes that underlie prosperity and economic growth.

However, as with all successful ventures, action is rewarded (if you join as a Founding member prior to that date you will have an advantage.) Subscribe to FSC Alert for free and visit this blog to find out how you can benefit. Start by getting “The Venture Investor’s Advantage Secret” Special Report when you subscribe. If that report does not get you to act, you already know the Venture Investor’s advantage or you are not a wealth investor.

For the pre-launch process, we have asked Dr. Jim Namaste to be the first blogger. Jim is our R&D guy and has been the main instigator behind the FairShares scenes. He has studied, practiced and thought deeply about venture capital, economic prosperity, seed investing and the average investor. He is one of the world’s top experts in this area. He will tell you how it all got started.

I read, researched and analyzed how systems worked and were supposed to work. I even established the beginning of a promising reputation…
    Then, longer ago than I want to tell, I stumbled over the venture investor’s secret.
    Like many such things, I didn’t know or understand what I found until later. At the time I didn’t know that a whole venture capital industry was emerging and I didn’t foresee that fairly soon somebody could start a company one year and have that company be worth nearly $2 billion three years later.
    Here is what happened. Some acquaintances and I put together $40,000 and started a business. We brought in a young manager who put in his share of the $40,000 and we opened the doors. The business ambled along for about three years. It grew, but not that much. Then I brought in another young manager… and suddenly the business shot up. Not like the Internet companies today, but enough to get me thinking about the process. I had learned a lot. I sold my ownership about seven years after the company was started. I then calculated that my ROI (return on investment) was better than 30% annually compounded. At the time I sold, the business was doing about $12Million in sales. A few years later it reportedly reached $40MM+. That’s when I realized that I had come across an important secret that few people knew about and even fewer understood. I decided that I wanted to build a support system that would use small start-up amounts to grow companies fast and big. I started studying and experimenting. That is when the lessons really started.
