Announcing the Campaign to Provide Funding for a New Documentary

Help provide funding to document the recovery and rebirth of a very lucky man

Phoenix, AZ -- March 22, 2015 -- Billy F. Mullin announces the campaign to seek funding to cover the costs of filming a new documentary about his recovery and rebirth from a long series of illness of injury.

At the age of 16, Billy contracted a rare terminal form disease known as  Meningital Coccidioidomycosis, caused by a virus trapped in the valley fever fungus that is stuck in Billy’s spine. This illness caused him to have a stroke, paralyzing his entire left side. Due to the severity of this illness, his doctors gave him a grim 2 year life expectancy.

Defying all odds, Billy has now reached the age of 27. However has not been an easy journey. Since being diagnosed in August 2004 he has suffered several setbacks, requiring that he re-teach himself how to walk 3 times, spent countless days in the Hospital or in bed unable to move, received more than a dozen spinal taps, and required brain surgery 6 separate occasions. Billy’s doctors have warned him that he may require several more surgeries on his brain throughout his life to repair the damage caused by his illness.

While the seriousness of his illness coupled with the lengthy hospital stays made it impossible for him to completely finish film school, he attended enough of his coursework to realize that his true dream is to become a film maker. Hence, he decided to start a documentary about his own life and explore the passion he has for the art of tattooing.

The plan for this documentary is to film the process of completely transforming his appearance through the use of large pieces of tattoo art covering both of his arms, portions of his neck, and 70% of his torso. Throughout the documentary, Billy will couple the process of his tattoo sessions while telling his life story and subsequent illness through interviews with various important people in his life.

Billy is seeking funding in order to complete the documentary and tattoo artwork. While he admits this is likely to be a costly and dangerous venture, he believes this is the best way to explore his love of film while allowing himself to be reborn out of his previous suffering.

Announcing the Medical Campaign to Help Cynthia Hart

Cynthia Hart/Kizerian Beating The Odds

Salt Lake City, UT  – March 15, 2015 – Mary Hart is the proud daughter of Cynthia and Jimmy Hart. Her Dad passed away October 6, 2014 from ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease.) During this time, Mary’s mom got the help she needed through sobriety so she could be there for her husband and family. Mary was her father's power of attorney and primary caregiver, but couldn't have done it without the help of her mother. Without her, the death of her father and the recovery process would have been unfathomable.

Mary and her mother have been through a lot this past year. Mary’s mother is the strongest woman she has ever met, she’s her everything; her hero, and is the one keeping her going and giving her strength and hope. Three months after the love of her life passed, Cynthia was sadly diagnosed with Stage 3C Ovarian cancer. She successfully had the debulking surgery done, and is now living with Mary in Salt Lake City while completing 6 cycles of 2 different types a chemo; paclitaxel, and carboplatin (chemo every week, 1 cycle=3 weeks). After the 6 cycles of chemo, Mary would like her mom to go to a medical facility outside the U.S. that will be able to help her maintain remission and prevent the cancer from coming back. U.S. statistic for women with ovarian cancer stage 3C, is that 1 out of 6 women live 5 years. I cannot settle for that.

The first step to furthering treatment is to investigate the cause which they have raised enough money for. The doctor whom Mary has spoken with (outside of the U.S.) traveling to Utah this month to collect samples which will then be sent to various countries. Once they're able to know what caused her mother's ovarian cancer, they'll be able to come up with a specific treatment plan after finishing chemo. The treatment cost is unknown until they find the cause, but she has been told treatment could cost between $10,000-$20,000, not including travel  fees. Mary changed the goal amount to $25,000 hoping they can raise enough to find out the cause and the rest to cover all of her of her treatment and plane tickets. And GoFundMe and WePay takes out a nice percentage out of each donation. Once they figure out the cause Mary will change the goal amount to the treatment amount + the fundraising fees for this website.

Please help Mary’s mom get the chance to live and grow old. Please help give her mom the time to fulfill her life. She understands everyone has their own problems, but any type of help would be greatly appreciated.. If you or anyone you know is willing to help throw fundraisers, spread the word, make invitations, get companies on board, etc, please direct them to  http://www.gofundme.com/cancerkissmyass

Announcing the Campaign to Help a Struggling Selfless Man

Help provide funding to help a man support his family

Denver, CO  – March 14, 2015 – Frances Mukaikubo and her fiancee, Edgar Harper, announce the campaign to raise money to help pay off their substantial debt. Edgar has been supporting his fiancee and her ailing mother for the past few months. After making the difficult decision to purchase a home for all three to share, Edgar experienced cut backs at work that resulted in a devasting loss of income. As neither his fiancee or her 93 year old mother are able to work, their home and bills rely on his only income. All three face impending foreclosure if they can't get back on their feet very, very soon.

Right now they are falling behind on their bills, including the mortgage, HOA dues, utilities, etc.. Due to the amount that Edgar travels each day, his car also needs significant repairs, which includes new brakes, shocks, struts and replacement tires to keep it safe on his job. He has to drive over 200 miles in the mountains, here in Colorado, in the winter everyday and he needs a really safe car to do his route and make it home safely to us. He has already slid off the road while working this winter, and luckily did only minor damage to his car that he can't get fixed because of the insurance deductible.

This campaign is solely about raising money for the necessities so the family's life can start and then Edgar will be take all responsibilities of keeping the home viable and profitable. The family is seeking $5,000 to help pay off the expensive car repairs as well as the bill they have become delinquent on. Please breathe life back into this family, and they will take every dollar donated and use it to repair Edgar's car, pay off delinquent bills and hopefully set some aside in savings so they can be a little more secure in their financial future.

Why Banks Want Your Business to Have a Permanent & Professional Address

As a startup or small business, what is the smartest way of doing business? Many businesses confront several challenges in order to ensure their survival in a highly competitive business world. The most crucial challenges are:

• Financial Problems: Most startups and small businesses have limited budgets, limited resources, and limited assets. They need loans to execute various business activities.

• Securing New Clientele: Startups and small businesses need new clients in order to expand their business. This can be quite challenging in our highly competitive marketplace.

• Credibility and Professionalism: In order to continue getting consistent business, all businesses need to project a credible and professional image in all that they do.

• Quality Service: To stay ahead of their competition and sustain their presence in the marketplace, businesses must offer quality service and products.

Startups and small businesses need to conquer and monitor these concerns to maximize their growth. The smartest way to tackle all these issues is to have a permanent and professional address dedicated solely to their business. This speaks volumes about the stability of the business. If someone is working out of their home and uses their home address, prospective clients may be unsure about the stability and reliability of the business.

All of the concerns above can positively or negatively affect one's business, however, it can be argued that financial concerns are the most important. Unless, you have sufficient financial resources, it is nearly impossible to grow and meet your business goals.

Many banks and lending facilities steer clear of loans involving fledgling companies starting out from the entrepreneur's home. For the same reason many prospective clients shy away -- they all have the question in mind of whether or not the business will be there in 1-5 years. They may see the business as immature and they know the mortality rate for immature businesses is quite high. There is a greater risk. The potential to lose money is significant.

The absence of a permanent and corporate address discourages banks, lenders, and potential clients. Home businesses are often not viewed as "real businesses". All of this will subsequently hamper your business growth, potential investment, and performance in the marketplace.

But, what are you to do if you aren't exactly at a place where you can move your business out of your home? Or, what if you want to be a home-based business? Virtual offices are a smart way to get that professional impression for your business. Due to restricted budgets, many startups and small businesses can’t afford to have their personal corporate offices. Instead, they can rent virtual offices receiving mail and receptionist services, if desired, along with access to meeting rooms and offices for special occasions. There are many companies which offer virtual offices to help you smartly grow your business.

Kowerk Executive Suites in West Palm Beach is a leading provider of various kinds of virtual office solutions to businesses with variable demands and budgets. The company also offers other services such as providing shared office spaces, private office spaces, meeting rooms and so on. Furnished with the latest technology and equipment, Kowerk offers an ideal working environment for businesses where ideas are exchanged, networks are strengthened and business grows like never before. What a smart way of doing business! For more information contact http://www.officespaceinwestpalmbeach.com.

How Emotive Storytelling in Business Brands Builds Client Loyalty

Success depends upon our ability to persuade others to adopt our ideas. If we can’t convince our customers to buy our products or services, we can’t move forward in business. But how best to do that? Storytelling in business is probably the best way you can persuade your customers to purchase your products or services.

What does a story mean? A story is how we make sense of the world. We organize details according to our experiences and interactions in the world and make a story out of them which helps us find our place in the big picture. Storytelling is a novel and innovative way to engage with people emotionally, win their hearts and captivate their minds. Storytelling is as old as human life and continues to be relevant today.

In the words of Peter Guber, former CEO of Sony Pictures, Academy Award Producer, and author of Tell to Win, “There’s no business without story business. To connect, persuade, and triumph in business, you need to ‘tell to win’ with the hidden power of story. Stories create a relationship rather than a transaction. Stories open the heart rather than alert defenses and trigger resistance.”

There is nothing new about brand storytelling. It is as old as business. But with the dramatic growth of social media and content marketing, the scope of telling stories as part of the direct and indirect brand marketing maneuvers has become a vital priority. See how emotive storytelling rather than rational corporate language in business helps build client loyalty:

1. Building Trust through Truthful Stories. When you tell a story about your brand, it should be rooted in the reality of your brand, products and industry. Honesty, transparency and consistency are indispensable in brand storytelling. If your brand stories lack consistency, consumers will be confused and will look for other brands that meet their expectations. You can ask satisfied customers if you can share their stories. If you have a blog, correctly cite your sources. Share who you are and who your team members are as regular people that your customers can relate to.

2. Characters in Stories Should Appeal to Audience. Your audience should love the characters in your stories. You can create buyer personas and tell stories from their point of view or tell stories from your employees’ perspective or from a third-person point of view. Creating characters that enable your audience to become emotionally connected to them and follow them will go a long way in building client loyalty. An example of this would be the Gecko in the Geico commercials.

3. Your Story Should Have a Proper Structure. Your brand story should have a well-defined beginning, middle and end. Start strongly with your characters and setting. Come to the conflict the main character faces in the middle and resolution in the end. Take your audience on the journey of your business along with you. If it appeals to them, they will adhere to your brand, spread word of mouth and strengthen their relationship with you. For instance, in 2013 Chipotle created a video that became an online sensation.

           

Technically, it didn't qualify as an ad. It never aired on TV. But the cute story of a little scarecrow in a dystopian world of processed foods creating a beautiful oasis of a farm and a little burrito stand in a dystopian world of processed foods got over 11.6 million views on YouTube and was a spread across social media. Chipotle's gamble paid off, especially considered they didn't have to pay for placement.

4. Perpetual Marketing through Storytelling. Your stories should always open door to the next ones. Make your audience want more and continue association with your brand. Keep releasing teasers through Facebook, email, or Pinterest, and post updates regularly on a specific space on your website or Facebook page.

Given the power of effective storytelling in business to woo customers and ensure their loyalty, every business needs to look into seeing how they can apply storytelling to their brand. For start ups and small business, brand marketing is a tough but rewarding task.

Kowerk Executive Suites supports small business in a variety of ways. One way is providing tips and food for thought on how to successfully build up a small business.
