My first of several goals is to raise $50,000 by December 31, 2010 to pay off the balance of debts I incurred when I was forbidden (harassed and threatened) to write, consult, publish books, teach, appear in the media, own a web site, or earn a living by the association board of directors and property manager for the condo unit I owned. (When I moved in I was starting over and debt-free.)

Essentially, the neighbors I voted for to act in my best interests denied me multiple rights and freedoms guaranteed by Canada's constitution. (My story will be detailed in my book, The Kindness Experiment.)

Once I have rebuilt a nest egg for my golden years, I will then build a nonprofit foundation to assist other writers who also have been denied the right to speak, write or publish.

One step at a time.

I welcome your support in these ways.

1. Invite me to speak to your group, conference, meeting, or class on any of my lecture/seminar topics.

2. Retain me to write a persuasive letter that will recover reputation, money or property that is rightfully yours that was removed, denied, stolen or swindled from you.

3. Retain me as your Undercover Client-Patient-Guest-Customer to tell you what your patients, clients, guests, association members won't tell you but wish they could. (Appropriate for physicians, lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians, realtors, landlords, etc.)

4. Offer me a paying assignment to write a column for your magazine on how not to work against your own best interests.

5. Ask me to write a regular (paid) column for your newspaper on how not to work against your own best interests.

6. Invite me to host a call-in radio advice show on how not to work against your own best interests.

7. Pay me what you still owe me (plus interest) when/before you receive my invoice.

I'm still doing research for my next book, The Kindness Experiment, which is a rare opportunity to show yourself publicly as a Good Samaritan or HERO.

I've been testing people for 13 years in various situations. Sadly, many choose to be villains even after receiving a second chance to redeem themselves.

Will you choose kindness over mean-spiritedness, and generosity over greed?

Or will you do what many choose to do....work against their own best interests?

Remember: It's all material for my next book, The Kindness Experiment.

FYI, As of August 30, 2010....

1. I'm no longer... Conducting marketing, positioning, and visibility campaigns for authors, speakers, experts, consultants. Instead I will teach you what I did so you can do it successfully for yourself.

2. I'm no longer... Negotiating book, speaking and syndication contracts for speakers, columnists, authors and consultants. Instead, I will advise you on how to negotiate successfully for yourself.

3. I'm no longer... Editing and proofreading books for other authors.

4. I'm no longer... Representing speakers in the capacity of an agent.

5. I'm no longer....Providing professional voices on radio and TV commercials and training programs without a written contract signed in advance.

6. I'm no longer... Offering unpaid services as a professional home economist: estate caretaking, house-sitting, pet-sitting, home maintenance, home staging, painting, de-cluttering, organizing.

7. I'm no longer... Accepting telephone inquiries without an appointment from speakers, experts and authors who are looking for free marketing advice or no-fee campaigns. Instead, I encourage you to arrange a one-time, prepaid, phone consultation in which you are welcome to pick my brain in 20 minute increments.

This web site was banned by the board of directors and property manager of Geneva on the Park Condominiums in St. Catharines Ontario... because we all know only men should publish web sites. Right?

The Kindness Experiment (book project)
Be kind to strangers... they could be your angels in disguise.
Remember, every person I meet is a potential story in the book and the blog.

Incredible, but true, accounts of my 13 year experiment to see how people act when they KNOW upfront I'm testing them.... and writing about them. I couldn't make this stuff up... I suck at writing fiction.

You can share in the profits of this book, by doing nothing more than placing a pre-publication order for your copy/copies. You could conceivably receive all your money back and more.

The message of the book is that we all need to be more conscious of the impact we make on others we encounter through the course of our day, conduct business with, and pass by without noticing. The choices we make with each person may impact not only the other person's life, but our own, in ways we could not imagine. Being needlessly unkind to another could result in your missing out on wonderful things that you have dreamed of, but never thought you could achieve or receive. In other words, not being as kind to others as you would like others to be to you could work against you in ways that you haven't considered. You may be acting against your own best interests, and that is rarely, if ever, a smart idea.

My book will give you many examples of tests I have conducted with:

Doctors
Dentists
Hospitals
Police
Veterinarians
Hotels
Real estate agents
Churches
Lawyers
Neighbors
Best Friends
Banks
Former clients
Etc.

And no, I was never undercover... although I now offer to be an undercover client to businesses. I always disclosed upfront that I was writing a book about my encounters with everyone. Despite my honesty, most people, not all, and no matter how kind and generous I was to them treated me with rejection, disrespect, avoidance, contempt and in some cases abuse and threats of physical harm. That says to me that our society needs a major overhaul in the area of Kindness to Others.

This book will ruffle quite a few feathers I'm afraid. You'll want to read this book, if only to find out who has been naughty and nice! Most of the stories are quite stunning. Often truth is stranger than fiction and these are true stories with no embellishment. And in many cases I gave people named in the book a second chance to do the right thing. You'll get to see who did and who didn't.
