The Grand Idea
Mastering Wealth Creation TOGETHER!
“There are winners, there are losers,
and there are people who have not discovered how to win.” Les Brown
I have a GRAND IDEA I am super excited to share with you!
Because I know folks are busy these days, I’ll come straight to the point!
For the background to The Grand Idea, check out “The SPARKS”
I believe when it comes to money, finances and wealth creation, it’s simply that I have not yet personally discovered HOW to win.
I also believe there are other people, who like me are willing and would be committed to learning, but are not sure who to learn from, and do not presently have tens of thousands of Rands of surplus funds to invest in education.
The GRAND IDEA then:
Find the people who have discovered HOW TO WIN when it comes to MONEY and BUSINESS. Who are WALKING THE TALK and who are now TEACHING others what they did to achieve those results!
Find the people who want to discover HOW to WIN in MONEY and BUSINESS, who VALUE investing in their wealth creation education, but do not have personal access to the amount of liquid capital required to book for all the events they want to, as often as they would like to. Let these people come together to form a community, pool their resources, so that TOGETHER they are able to raise the funds for at least ONE person to attend, and then that person comes back to teach the others EVERYTHING they learned.
This is a massive WIN WIN for everyone!
And why do I say this?
For a number of reasons, the most powerful being that, if you for example, were a member of The Grand Idea:
- You would get the benefit of education for a fraction of the course fees.
- You would be part of a community of like minded people, all dedicated to learning and growing, who would serve as a source of support and accountability in terms of getting together to learn, as well as apply the teachings.
- These courses are often available over a short period of time, and in my experience there is often SO much QUALITY CONTENT crammed into a few days, that unless someone is super disciplined to keep revising the notes, many attending miss the full benefit. By being part of a group that would meet regularly to learn what was covered, you would end up having a deeper experience of the information than many who actually attended themselves.
Important Proviso
The Grand Idea is not about creating a business around reselling other people’s information. The Grand Idea is about growing a community of like minded people interested in taking responsibility for their wealth creation and learning — who are coming together, using a creative value based strategy to access resources that they would not have been able to access individually!
The Vision?
To build The Grand Idea community such that more and more of members are able to cover their own full ticket prices, and attend the actual events, together! And as the community grows, and more and more of us attend, we will be working together creating a momentum to uplift and empower one another, and others in the area of wealth creation!

Cost to be a member of The Grand Idea?
There are no membership fees. Those who are interested to join the movement, who resonate with the idea, are then part of the community, and will be invited to join a private facebook group, and will receive updates and communication via email as to potential upcoming courses. Any member is welcome to submit a potential course for consideration. Approved courses will be presented to the community to establish interest. Once a member decides they want to be part of an upcoming learning opportunity, their required contribution towards the course fees is necessary in order to confirm their place.
What courses would be up for consideration?
Since the aim of The Grand Idea community is to master wealth creation together, courses considered would be in areas of BUSINESS and INVESTMENT. They would be the high impact short time frame type of events that are available today, as many global icons across a diversity of fields, are now TEACHING people what they have done to get where they are today. Learning opportunities would range from ENTREPRENEURSHIP, to MARKETING, SALES, eCOMMERCE, STOCK and FOREX TRADING, PROPERTY, TRAINING, SPEAKING, etc.
Can the model be applied to all types of courses?
Absolutely not. This model would not work for courses that are highly experiential and require that each participant be in the room, and part of an experiential/introspective/highly interactive process. That is why potential courses need to be screened to see if they qualify. The material covered needs to be of such a nature that it can be successfully taught from one to another. Eg: A fire walking course would not work!
And most importantly — the courses being considered must be run by those who have MASTERED the art in the area they are teaching, and still be actively involved in that arena, be it MARKETING, eCommerce, TRAINING, SPEAKING, PROPERTY, INVESTING or ANOTHER field of expertise!
Do members need to be part of every course group?
Not at all. Being a member means you will receive the news of what upcoming courses are available for you to join in with a group. Of course there will be minimum group sizes required to ensure sufficient funds are raised to cover attendance. Simply confirm whether you are interested in an upcoming course, or let us know if it’s not for you.
How does it all come together?
Being a member of The Grand Idea means you are part of a community of people wanting to learn and grow together. Upcoming courses will be evaluated, to ensure they will deliver quality content, and all the information for an approved course will be circulated amongst the members to establish interest. The monetary contributions to book for the event will be calculated based on the number of members interested in attending.
A primary key to the success of The Grand Idea learning community is ensuring that the members of each group are able to access empowering wealth creation education. It is for this reason that each group size will be limited to 10. This is open to evalutation based on the upcoming event so long as it will not negatively impact the learning quality or experience.
The Grand Idea aims to provide the highest value learning experience for all members.
Eg: Let’s say there’s a course, for R20,000 and there are 10 people interested. There will most likely then be one attendee. If there are 20 people interested, then 2 people will most probably attend, and there would be 2 learning groups following the event itself. This is to ensure the group sizes are manageable and that content delivery and teaching remains at a high standard. Since those attending assume the responsibility of teaching the group, the course fees are split between the rest of the group.
How is the course learning transferred to the group?
The course material is taught to the group over a 6–12 week period, via online webinar style sessions. Since most participants members either work or study full time, these sessions are scheduled evenings, early mornings or weekends. This does mean that anyone interested in being a member would need internet access.
Who attends the course?
The person who attends needs to be highly skilled in being fully present, taking detailed comprehensive notes, ensuring they are clear on all the material covered and then being a good teacher. I know I am strong in all these areas, and will be taking on these responsibilities as well as coordinating the initiative. There is opportunity for members to get more involved and take on additional responsibilities if they so desire, and are committed to following through.
