A Portal to Communities of Action

Within the Enterprise Networks, investors, even small ones, will find that 70%+ annual returns are not only possible, they are likely.  Entrepreneurs, creatives, technologists and intellectuals, will find immediate, enabling tools that will allow them to keep up to 80% of their equity, even if they have little or no capital to contribute.  

The Future 101 is a graduate level education on the emerging, global Information Age civilization.  However, it is also a portal to communities of action that can provide you with early entrance into the profoundly affluent Knowledge Class.  Knowledge Class incomes begin at $250K per year but typically, over time, will be in the seven figures.  

And it all begins with a simple commitment of just 15¢ per day.

The combination of The Death of Capitalism and the emergence of crowdfunded Enterprise Networks presents risk tolerant, long term investors with a staggering opportunity  What is important to success is not a large portfolio, but rather the knowledge, vision and courage to properly deploy a portfolio, even if it is of very modest size.  Armed with the knowledge of The Transformation, acquired through the premium service, The Future 101, subscribers can utilize The Future 101 as a portal to Enterprise Networks and the opportunity to participate in annual returns of 70% or more.  For perspective, $10,000 at an annual return of 70% is worth over $2,000,000 within ten years.

Simultaneously, entrepreneurs, creatives, technologists and intellectuals will have their Information Age careers enabled through Enterprise Networks.  Because returns on financial capital are so high in Information Age enterprises, they will be able to retain most of their equity, rather than, as was the case in the Industrial Age, ceding most of it to large scale, passive investors - Investment Angels and Venture Capitalists.  Through crowdfunding exemptions, currently moving through the U.S. Congress, access to capital, beginning with the R&D and start up phases will be feasible, even if the entrepreneurs, creatives, technologists and intellectuals have little or not capital to contribute themselves.

Through collaboration in Enterprise Networks, the critical access to customers and markets, defined in Information Age terms, will become cost effective.  This is a topic that we discuss extensively in The Future 101.  Essentially, much of the current inefficiencies in the market place are the result of an inability of Industrial Age advertising vehicles to deliver Information Age markets.  The emergence of Boutique Homepages and the Cultures of Affluence will rectify this situation to the benefit of Enterprise Network participants.

Any successful investment strategy or start-up begins with a superior knowledge of futurity.  Right now, that means a knowledge of The Transformation.  If you are not already familiar with it, you should begin by reading, at a minimum, the following tabs:  The Future 101, The Income Explosion, The Age of Boutique Everything and The Death of Capitalism.  Of course, reading it all is preferable and will generally require about one hour of your time.

The Information Age has arrived and with it a fundamental change has taken place in the financial structure of businesses and the investment markets.  Properly understood and executed, it will allow aspiring entrepreneurs and visionary investors to achieve far superior results than anything that was possible in the Industrial Age.  In fact, with proper environments they will likely, over the next couple of decades, take over the global economy.

Simultaneously, Enterprise Networks will replace large, hierarchical corporations as the dominant enterprise structure.  Simply put, they will out compete corporations in the market place.  They also, because the structure is more consistent with Information Age cultural sensibilities, will attract the very best talent.  Here I will reproduce, for convenience, the organizational chart that I present in the article about Enterprise Networks.

The red rectangles are agglomerations of investors.  The light blue triangles are support functions, such as Treasury, Human Resources, IT, Legal, Accounting, etc.  The green ovals are the various enterprises that collaborate and share access to funding, administrative support and markets.

We see that the Enterprise Network retains the economies of scale and cost effective access to administrative expertise.  However, because each enterprise is under autonomous management, the management teams, themselves, are incentivized in a manner more similar to a stand alone business.  Each can respond rapidly and effectively to changing market, technological and demographic conditions.

The Enterprise Network also has the unintended result of avoiding the $1.0 million or $2.0 million limitation placed on the crowdfunding exemptions.  You will note that the stylized Enterprise Network depicted here has fourteen separate enterprises, and, consequently, in aggregate, can raise up to $28 million per year of new equity.  This is not just a contrived avoidance of the intentions of the legislation.  In the Industrial Age, these could very well be separate enterprises.  It is simply a matter of Industrial Age legislation not properly anticipating Information Age economic structures.

Subscribing to The Future 101

The Future 101 is a premium informational site that presents an objectively supportable world view and a superior knowledge of futurity.  Its cost is $54.95 per year.  It is comprised of approximately 3,000 to 5,000 words of graduate level text and between two and three hours of audiocasts per week.  In this sense, it is approximately equivalent to two three semester credit courses which works out to a ridiculously low $9.16 per semester credit.  Its cost works out to about one USD per week.

As a basic cultural literacy for the emerging, global, Information Age civilization, it is, by itself, a real bargain.  However, on a regular basis, I will also be providing subscribers with the opportunity to sign up for mailing lists related to various Enterprise Networks.  This will be at no extra cost, although should an Enterprise Network contact you, they will undoubtedly have their own set of requirements for membership. 
The Future 101, in addition to being an educational site, also becomes a portal to a growing community of action.  These are the people who will be 'Saving the world by saving themselves.'  These are the people who will be the first to enter the profoundly affluent, Information Age Knowledge Class.  These are the people who will be providing you, as a crowdfunding investor, with opportunities to earn 70%+ return on your investment.  These are the people who will be providing you, as an entrepreneur, creative, technologist or intellectual, with the enabling financial, knowledge and human capital you need to succeed.  These are the people who will be creating the Enterprise Networks that will give you ready and cost effective access to your market.
I strongly encourage you to read all of the articles here at The Future 101 Abstracts.  However, I am giving you these articles at no cost with the purpose of enticing some of you, the most visionary of you, to subscribe to The Future 101 and, over time, to join an Enterprise Network in a capacity that is proper for you. 

As one final point, I want to clarify that Enterprise Networks are 'bounded opportunity rich and success prone productive environments.'  They are not a restructured corporation.  Some people will likely enter with the intent to engage in 'Not-for-profit' activities.  My anticipated Enterprise Network, Polymathica Enterprises, will undoubtedly include non-profit educational organizations. 

So, while I want to make it clear that the Information Age will experience an income explosion and the Knowledge Class will be characterized by incomes in the seven figures 2011USD, the Cultures of Affluence actually mean that less emphasis will be placed on income numbers and more on the quality of life and self-actualization enabled by the lifestyle choices.  This is so counter-intuitive for Industrial Age cultures, but the best way to reduce the emphasis on materialism is to have everyone satisfied with their material needs.

I end with this because, while I understand most people place significant emphasis on providing affluence for their family, the Information Age will climb Maslow's Hierarchy and the emphasis will evolve toward the concept of 'A Finely Crafted Life.'  So, these communities of action, these Enterprise Networks and Cultures of Affluence, will not only 'Save the world by saving ourselves' in an economic sense.  The hope is that it will also revitalize the soul of Western civilization.

I really hope to see you on the inside.  You simply click on the subscribe button and then e-mail me with your preferred e-mail address.

With Warm Regards,

Michael Ferguson
