When I got back from the prison today, they had been very appreciative of my time and the fact that Tom Spinks of Millionaire Blueprints had been sending his magazine to their library.
One of the realities these men face due to their own stupid and evil choices that got them there is that it’s hard to find work in some situations.
Many would like to own a business but have no clue how to think like a business person instead of a crook.
I wonder if you could help me put a couple copies each of the following books in the prison library?
Could you go to Amazon.com and purchase a used copy of the following books for a couple of bucks plus $3.49 shipping and handling and send it to the prison library? The Entrepreneur’s Manual was going for as little as 98 cents so a donation would cost less than $5!
Perhaps you have a favorite business book you’d like to donate? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
If you can’t give (or even if you can) would you please Digg This Article so we can get as many donations as possible?
Leave a comment if you do so lots of people won’t send the same book.
Also… Business authors… If donate one of your books to their library… please email me and I will put a photo of your book, title, link etc. below.
Note: These aren’t amazon affiliate links! So include your own to get the commission on your donation.
Here’s the address:

Here are the books…

[...] I found this link today, describing one man’s effort to get more entrepreneurial materials in to his local prison. Certainly the idea seems sound enough, and is likely worth the effort if it only helps a small portion of inmates turn their life around. Having watched the ‘30 days’ episode where Morgan is in a prison for 30 days, and learning of the people who were arrested days or weeks after being released, I think a focus on providing more avenues for learning about alternative behaviour models (business owner, for example) is nothing but a good thing. Will it help? There’s probably only one real way to find out - help support the idea. [...]

Donate business books to your local prison…
Huh?Talk about advocacy though. Instead of having inmates print license plates, maybe they can read a thing or two about the long tail. But seriously though, this post has something going. Chuck writes: I wonder if you could help me……

Working from home should be a great answer for most people. Break out of that servitude mentality and making someone else wealthy and start empowering your own life.
Great article
Thanks
