E-MAIL SUBJECT:  Cache Valley citizens learn financial independence through passive income.

Dear Mr. Williams,

Scott Waterson referred me to you in relation to passive income and financial independence.  I am part of the Cache Valley Area Investors Association in Logan, Utah.  Our main goal is to educate members of the community about passive income and making smart financial decisions.  Your broadcast on financial independence has inspired the Cache Valley community to become better educated about the world of finance.

Help us learn more about financial independence through educated passive income Thursday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Cache Valley Chamber of Commerce.  The Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) invites everyone to attend the first meeting.

If you want financial independence, then it is time to learn about passive income.  Passive income is an income received on a regular basis, with little effort required to maintain it.  It is the relationship between assets and liabilities.  For passive income to be beneficial, you have to be smart about investments.

 “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki says, “If you do not know what you are doing, no asset can make you rich.  Ultimately, what makes you rich is your financial intelligence.  Your greatest asset is your brain—so take care of it and protect it from bad advice.”

CVAIA wants to help educate members of the community in making wise investment choices.  You should not have to work for your money.  Make passive income work for you by attending CVAIA’s meeting Oct. 7.

If people learn the right mentality and approaches to investing, they can all be successful in what they desire.  People should be able to spend their time doing something they love, not just a job that provides an income.  Passive income largely makes this possible.  There are many organizations with the stated goal of helping people understand the relationship between assets, liabilities, income, expenses.  They practice the methods found in the ideologies of books including “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” “The Wealthy Barber,” “The Millionaire Next Door,” “Atlas Shrugged,” “The Automatic Millionaire,” and “The Secret.”

Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) teaches people how to increase passive income.  CVAIA embraces the Law of Attraction, Law of Abundance, and Law of Exchange.  CVAIA began in August 2007 and now has members from many geographical locations and from all walks of life.  The members come together with the same belief: that education mitigates the risks of investing.

I appreciate your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Robyn Statum

United Breaks Guitars

United Breaks Guitars


“United Breaks Guitars” involves United Airlines, Dave Carroll, and his guitar. While deboarding a plane in Chicago for his connecting flight, Carroll and some other passengers noticed that United Airlines baggage handlers were throwing Carroll’s and his bands guitars around. (It was later discovered that Carroll’s guitar had been broken). Carroll notified the flight attendant who directed him to the acting lead agent at the gate. The acting lead agent at the gate informed him that he would need to notify the United Airlines agent in Omaha since that was his final destination. Due to the fact that the plane was late landing in Omaha and there was not a United Airlines agent in sight, Carroll and his bands headed to their hotel. At a gig was when Carroll realized that his guitar had been broken and the repair costs were $1200. Carroll actively tried to get the issue resolved with United Airlines, but all Carroll received was the run around from United Airlines. All Carroll wanted was some type of compensation for having the guitar fixed since the baggage handlers broke it. In the end, United Airlines denied Carroll’s claim and had his guitar repaired for $1200. (www.davecarrollmusic.com)

Carroll told the last person to deny his claim that he was going to write a song and post it on YouTube. What better way to express the injustices of companies and poor customer service. Carroll’s initial goal was to reach 1 million views on YouTube in a year, and he had accomplished that in a couple of weeks. The first video “United Breaks Guitars” was uploaded to YouTube July 6, 2009. Carroll received a call from United Airlines July 8, 2009 offering to now compensate him for the broken guitar. Carroll politely declined any compensation.

United Airlines lost on all accounts with this Public Relations fiasco. United Airlines did not deny that the incident with the baggage handlers and the guitars did not happen, but they refused to take any responsibility for the actions of their employees. United Airlines broke the bond of trust a customer has with them as an airliner. Customers put their trust in a product or service, and it is the responsibility of the companies, providing that product or service, to maintain that trust between them and the customer. United Airlines had numerous attempts to correct the situation, and they chose to violate the customer. The first video alone cost United Airlines around $180 million dollars. (www.rightsideofright.com) The cost of compensating Carroll for repairing his guitar is minute compared to what it cost United Airlines both short-term and long-term.

Carroll won on all aspects of this customer service nightmare. His videos have been a hit online, been a guest on news programs, and has also started a website called Right Side of Right. The purpose of the website is to bring those with similar experiences together and find a positive and healthy solution to the problem. Carroll has also stated that he is no longer angry about the experience. He has moved forward. (www.davecarrollmusic.com)

Dear Cousin Letter

Dear John,

I appreciate your recent letter and as asked I will tell you more about Public Relations (PR).  Public Relations deals with a vast range of communication between different outlets or third party businesses.  For example, if Governor Herbert was going to visit an orphange in the city his PR team would notify the community leaders, newspapers, and members of the community about the event.

PR is very versatile and flexible.  Corporations, non-profit organizations, healthcare, and educations are just a few businesses that need employees with public relation skills.  PR managers work hand in hand with journalists and advertising managers to ensure that "our story" is told.  The story will depend on what message you are trying to share. 

Having a variety of skills is pertinent for the ever changing job field.  Business, organization, and market understanding are just a few skills needed in the PR field.  Being able to write effectively and clearly is probably the number one essential ability/skill needed to successfully build a career in PR. 

The great part about going into Public Relations is that there is always something new and different to explore.  I will have the opportunity to work on important issues, be able to influence for good, make a difference, and meet interesting people and visit interesting places.  Needless to say I will not have to worry about my job becoming mundane.

I hope that this helps in clarifying what I will be studying at Utah State University these next few years. 

Thanks again for your support.

Sincerely,

Felicity
