So how did I do it?
Step 1
I asked via email:
Ramit,
How do you hire a rich person when your poor?
What can you possibly offer them that they don't already have?
Not sure I can answer that for you Ramit. What I can do is ask you to be altruistic again. New giving always inspires me and helps me feel alive. Hi Ramit, I'm Joshua Ryder and I have a challenge for you. You and I both know that Tim is a exceptional fellow and his book the 4 hour work week took the nation by storm. Plus you even have an advantage you know Tim personally. What if you took his ideas of outsourcing and your teaching abillities on being rich and combined them with an altruistic network marketing business model.
Imagine changing the failure rate of network marketing and charity. Imagine ending world hunger.
The News Headlines Read:
Ramit Sethi is Ending World Hunger.
I think it can be done. I would love for you to take a look at my humble system. I know you could build one 1,000 times better but it is all I have. Consider it. I would be honored if you joined me or contributed your time.

Here are the highlights:
Every $100 given does two things.
Creates a micro loan that starts another charitable franchise and feed starving children.
Like KIVA and WORLD VISION COMBINED.
Here's To Your Continued Great Success,

Step 2
I took action.
When your poor you don't have time to wait around for a rich guy to get back to you. In fact your not sure if he even will. When your poor and trying to hire a big shot marketer and idea man like Ramit Sethi you got to do something unique. So what action steps did I take. I let everyone know about my request to Ramit. I did everything I could to get the author of the best selling book, "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" to know that my request was out there. I posted a blog. I shared it on Facebook. But still no answer. Why? Ramit doesn't need me. I need him and when your life and family are on the line you'll do just about anything to make things happen. So I went on to step three.
Step 3
I stopped worrying.
I realized that it doesn't really matter if I hire Ramit or not. That everything was going to be alright. That Ramit had a choice and he could very well choose not to work for me. Then again he could choose to call me on the phone. I realized he could have many responses to my inquiry and there was nothing I could do to change how he acted. What I could do is hold him in the highest regard, believe for the best, and wait.
So what happened?
While I was waiting I realized something. I realized that what we are doing at Network Goodness is worth it. That helping struggling American's in these tough times to make a living while feeding starving children is a noble cause. Then it came to me all I needed to do to hire Ramit was pay. So Ramit give me a call I have some money for you, I can't promise it's a lot because I'm poor but, I'm ready to give you what I have set aside for you and if you don't I'll buy your book and hire you as my teacher. I'll say thank you and go about my day.
