Dear Bryan
Thanks so much for your post and letting us know that plans are coming together. It feels very exciting that maybe things are getting closer to moving again. I was and always will be so inspired by your vision and that Pips has always been about making the world a better place.

I'd like to throw in a comment for your consideration - and I know that my comment may be WAY off target but because you are not able to give too many details at this stage, I felt it might be better to say something than wait until all is finalised. And it is probably something you have already considered...

You said

1. For the little guy, this will have an upper limit to the amount that can be loaned, gets rid of the greed merchants for this program.

Bryan

I LOVE your vision - and just wish I had dreams of my own of how I could use the wealth that might be created through the "new" Pips to make a huge difference in the world. But without that clear vision of something I personally can do, my way right now of making a difference is by supporting those who are doing "good" out there. I have sponsored a number of people into Pips, friends of mine, but people who I see giving their lives to somehow making a difference to others - sometimes 1 person at a time, sometimes through large visions that affects thousands.

To me, they will definitely count as "the little guy". They are people who have focussed so much on others that creating wealth has not been a priority for them - and yet with wealth they would be able to do so much more. They know that, but they are so passionate about what they are doing that taking the time off to actually focus on money has not been their choice. Some of them would not have been able to join pips, others maybe could have but would have been too focussed on doing what they do. So one of my greatest joys in being a pips member has been giving accounts to these people and seeing their faces light up as they have realised what that could mean for the people they help.

Your post mentions an upper limit to the amount loaned. It gives no indication on the plans for eg the return, the amount that that account can grow to etc - maybe those things are so high that this post has no meaning.

I know that greed has been an issue - and that is so sad, because there was so much to go around in pips. Yet it seems that human nature has that aspect.

Just to throw in for the consideration though that I do think those who were swayed by greed were (hopefully) in the minority. I do believe there are a large number of pipsters, like my friends, who have dreams of doing wonderful things in the world - and seek firstly the freedom from having to spend their time simply surviving and secondly to have a source of wealth that allows those dreams to be turned into reality. I have read so many posts throughout the history of pips forums where people share their excitement at really being able to focus on giving to others/ to the world. Sometimes by helping people who are suffering, sometimes by grand projects to make a huge impact. To me, dreaming of the wealth of Pips for those purposes is not greed - and I doubt that those people have been the ones who have caused so many problems over the last months.

In whatever you have planned for the "little guy" I dream that you can maybe find a way to let those who have plans that are bigger than their own lives still hold the vision that that can come true. Even if there is a ceiling on what the "little guy" can earn, so that greed does not take over for those who are affected by it, maybe there would be other ways - eg one thought is maybe there could be a panel and if someone wants to invest with the ultimate vision of something big, they could apply to that panel. I don't know how. I just know that to me, Pips has always been about helping others, and one of the ways I believed that would happen was when the members of pips had the freedom and money to do great things in the world. As I said, I would love to have some idea or grand plan for myself - but so far I don't - but I do know that many do and I want to support them, and therefore through them know that the world is a better place

Thank you for your vision - regardless of where things go from here, you have given many people the chance to dream about what they could do if only they had the chance.

Please look after yourself - this is a hard road, and I just think you are amazing for your determination and commitment to this vision, despite all the hurdles

Thank you Jenny,

English is not my first language and I realy appreciate what you wrote.

I myself think of what you wrote absolutely.

But I think too that Bryan surely has something good about that in his plan.

Thanks again for your post Jenny,

BoB :)

Dear Jenny,
I appreciated the wonderful spirit of your letter. There was one thing there that i think indicated you may not have understood what Bryan was trying to say. You stated something to the effect that the earnings of the little guy would be limited. I think what Bryan said was that the amount the little guy would be allowed to loan to PIPS would be limited. That would not effect their eventual earnings, as I understand it. If the restructure works anything like the old program, the earnings would be ongoing and according to how one manages his account, would grow nicely.
Pardon me if I've innterpreted your meaning.

Take care and blessings,
hzchoice

Hello Bryan,

I'm still very much in the dark as to what exactly happened!!?? I'm only hoping and praying that the money we invested will come back to us!!?? We put in pretty much most of our savings.

Sincerely,
Very Nervous, Stacey

This was in answer to a question on whether the restructured program will go private.

Bryan may not publicly comment on suggestions made, but he does take note of them. For those who were here at the changeover from GW to PIPS there was a very long thread which contained suggestions and comments from members, this helped to structure the PIPS format.

Sorry for sounding silly I thought you were BM??

Sorry for sounding silly I thought you were BM??

This will be about the 50th time this has been answered. What Bryan is doing is repeating a question that was asked to him and then he answers it.

Bryan,

We little guys are the ones with few assets who not professional MLMers.
One way to help the little guy is to put 100% of our investment to work for us and not to pay out commissions to professional recruiters. Therefore, I would suggest that any new program not have an MLM element or recruitment bonuses. Or in the alternative, that any recruitment bonuses have to vest for six to nine months before they can be withdrawn. what do others think of this idea

little catlady guy

A very good proposal. In fact, it was the heavy recruiters of Pips and other Pips programs in USA who are responsible for causing the trouble with the authorities for Pips and its memberts.
