Who knows what you're involved in?

Amazing things can happen...would you agree?

Here is THE question that got me out of bed this morning: "If WHO knew WHERE I am focused, we could positively influence WHAT?"

That is, if we were "here" and needed to get "there," who on our team needs to know we're looking for support, guidance, assistance, ideas and motivation?

Just last night, I was telling my friends about my interest in and support of Kiva.org. We recently "started" the Ojai Kiva Club as an experiment in community. I've been lending to entrepreneurs for quite some time, both informally (friends and colleagues) AND formally (Kiva and other organizations). So, as I described the Ojai Kiva Club about what we're doing, I held their interest for more than a few minutes.

Here's an example of one of the more than dozen loans I've been involved in. So far, only one loan is delinquent, none are in default, one has been repaid, and all the others are making their regularly scheduled payments on time or early.

Almost weekly now, I can go into my Kiva.org account and withdraw OR reloan the funds I have there.

As I ended my day, yesterday, I noticed the "flashing light" of a new e-mail on my phone...When I checked it, I read that one my friends at dinner had already decided to fund more than 10 loans himself! A perfect example: If WHO knew WHAT...they might get involved too!

PS: Now that you know, might you be able to make just one loan? When you do, simply choose the Ojai Kiva Club as your group! You'll get your money back soon enough and get to decide: Re loan or Withdraw? What a cool life, huh???
