    ### EDIT: Time = Money, and I'm done wasting time. I am pre-screening people for qualities like imagination, vision, persistence, effort, leadership, etc. You might still see me contribute content to DP, but I can look other places to find the "good people" who are interested in an exciting adventure. Happy Thanksgiving. ###

    Quick Introduction

    Leaders

    Q) What makes an effective, successful leader?

    A) If you can show that you are one, perhaps I will 'follow' your good advice.
    You can make money by proving you are a good leader / teacher / coach / guru, etc.

    ...

    ..

    .

    Follow

    Deep down inside (where it really counts) some of you know you don't have what it takes to be a successful leader.
    Are you "stuck" working for other people the rest of your life, or can leadership skills be learned by anyone?

    What about the fine art of following?
    Can you succeed by choosing the best available leaders / teachers / coaches / gurus, etc?

    ...

    ..

    .

    Enjoy A Good Laugh

    Laughter is good for you.
    Would you like to have fun and make money too?

    ...

    The Contest


    I know from experience long posts with "real details" scare people away, and the effort is wasted.
    Based on the very clearly written, easy to understand words above, please, consider this:

    ...

    ..

    .

    Time = Money

    ...

    ..

    .

    At the start, this exciting contest is a "virtual auction".
    You can 'purchase' an exclusive, exciting opportunity by showing you are interesting in 'spending' a bit of time, so you are able to enjoy an exciting
    Once-In-A-Lifetime Adventure.

    ...

    ..

    .

    How much money do you expect to make in the next three years?
    Please, choose any number, which is above $50,000 and below $5,000,000,000 ($5 Billion USD)

    ...

    ..

    .

    Now, how many minutes per week are you willing to spend to reach your goal?
    Please, choose any number which is above 4 minutes and a max of 120 minutes (2 hours)

    ...

    ..

    .

    (((Multiplication might scare some people away, so let's stick with addition)))

    Add the first number to the second and that is your current 'bid' to enter the contest.
    Income + Time per week = bid

    ...

    ..

    .

    For example:

    $50,000 + 20 minutes per week
    My bid = 50,020

    $1,000,000 + 60 minutes per week
    My bid = 1,000,060

    ...

    ..

    .

    After we get at least twenty entries, I'll pay some easy (EZ) money prizes, for you to enjoy a brief presentation.
    Then the real contest can begin.

    I swear, I have read both your crazy contests over at least 3 times each and I still don't get what you are doing. BUT, I'm curious about everything that crosses my path, so here is my bid and I'm hoping I will figure it out as it goes along.

    $2,000,000 + 120 minutes per week
    My bid = 2,000,120

    In 3 years I think I would make about $125,000 as I finish up college

    and maybe I will spend about 120 minutes(maximum, I would go more seeing the amount of work I put into my hobby and my college work for my ambition but I can't :( )

    so :
    120 + 125,000 = 125,120

    Expected money to make in the next three years = $3,000,000

    Time willing to spend to reach your goal= 100 minutes per week

    $3000,000 + 100= $3000,100

    "NO DEFEAT IS KNOW AS A DEFEAT UNTIL YOU QUIT" this is what i believe in, and i think a good leader has his leadership qualities installed in him by birth as what i mean his skills, am very new to this world of making money but am sure that one day i will make much money, but really dont know the right approach. WISH SOMEONE CAN HELP ME OUT TO LEARN THINGS, i just finished my college and i have only work to make money.

    How much money do you expect to make in the next three years?
    A:-$50,000,000


    Now, how many minutes per week are you willing to spend to reach your goal?
    A:- 60 mins a day,that comes around 4200 mins a week.

    $50,000,000+4200=50,004,200

    and very serious about that.

    Evolva, just put your entry in and see what happens. I think this is more about finding certain people than it is about prize money - but I could be wrong. :D

    omg, forget it. You didn't say anything about coding. So that is what "create useful content" actually means? Good luck with all this.

    I believe one leadership quality is the ability to find the most efficient path to the destination.

    I often reach way beyond my abilities, and sometimes end up wasting a lot of time.
    That post was only one of many options.
    I promise (after several experiments) to provide people who can create "useful content" a framework to define and achieve their wildest dreams.

    Thanks, for asking. :)
