Seeking The Optimal SDI Opportunity?



By Tom J Kennedy

NOTE: As a backgrounder - SDI entrepreneurs are invited to read this article - a historical review of the SDI industry - titled: "Analysis, Projections, Observations & Proposals For The SDI Industry "


The SDI (Self Directed Income) industry continues to grow during the current chaotic economic environment. Prospective SDI entrepreneurs are invited to do their due diligence as they research the SDI industry (in general) and the specific SDI business opportunity that they are being introduced to by any active SDI entrepreneur.

The novice SDI entrepreneur – someone new to the SDI industry with no previous experience as an SDI entrepreneur – is often enrolled into the first SDI opportunity that s/he learns about. Sometimes this first experience within the SDI industry works out to be successful, but too often the reverse is true and the novice SDI entrepreneur quits the original SDI opportunity and then spreads negative comments about his/her failed SDI experience. 

It is prudent to seek and find an “easy-entry” SDI opportunity to gain some experience within the SDI industry. As we progress into this 21st Century, we are discovering that indeed there are SDI opportunities that offer quality product lines that consumers purchase on a repeat basis, with no initial registration fee, with no monthly fee and no annual fee, with no auto-ship requirement and yet with a reasonable and fair compensation plan.

Prospective SDI entrepreneurs are cautioned to never let the claims of over-inflated earnings cloud their judgment as they consider their options. It is critical to make certain that the SDI business opportunity that one is exploring or researching is not an illegal, marketing scheme, craftily designed to resemble a legitimate and legal SDI business opportunity.

The SDI industry (otherwise referred to as network marketing or multi-level marketing) is the fastest growing sector of the direct sales and marketing industry. The SDI industry promotes a tried and proven business model based on a “home office” company distributing quality products and/or services to consumers – through teams or networks of independent contractors or associates – who are referred to as SDI entrepreneurs.

The SDI industry’s business model has been evolving since this unique marketing concept was birthed in the mid-20th Century. There are some similarities to the franchising business model whereby the franchisee (franchise business owner) pays – usually very high fees – to the franchisor (the “home office” company) for the privilege of marketing that particular company’s products and/or services to retail customers.

For the high fee paid to the “home office” company, by the franchise owner, s/he contracts for sales training as well as advertising and marketing support and of course, the right to use the “franchisor’s corporate name.”

Though the SDI business model has some similarity to the franchise business model, the initial fees paid to the “home office” company in the SDI industry are minimal (when compared to the fees required in the franchise industry). In the SDI industry the fees range from zero to amounts that are usually less than $50.00 (Canadian funds).

Also, most SDI entrepreneurs commence their SDI business as a part-time venture that can be operated from their residence as a home-based enterprise, Having a part-time, home-based enterprise qualifies an active, SDI entrepreneur to deduct various expenses as legitimate business deductions against his/her salaried income. Read more information in this article titled: "Tax Benefits of an SDI Enterprise."

The SDI business model is evolving towards decentralization – and every hourly employee and/or salaried individual is invited to participate. When SDI entrepreneurs are actively promoting this unique marketing model, they are teaching by example that they are changing the way they spend their money – supporting each other’s local, home-based enterprises and thereby spending less and less money with the giant, trans-national, and totally centralized, retail corporations.

Additionally, the SDI business model permits and encourages participating SDI entrepreneurs to not only market products and/or services to retail customers, but also the SDI entrepreneurs have the option of enrolling (sponsoring) other SDI entrepreneurs to work with them as a team, organization or network.

When a participating SDI entrepreneur enrolls a new recruit and teaches him/her about the products and the business opportunity, s/he will earn fair commissions from the sales production of the team or network as it grows with new SDI entrepreneurs. This element of the business model is very attractive for earning residual income(s).

In the late 1970’s, the pioneering SDI company, the Amway Corporation challenged the false accusation by the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in court – that their business model was am illegal pyramid scheme. The Amway Corporation won the court case and thereafter, the SDI business model has been copied by thousands of participating SDI companies. Read more about the word “pyramid” in this article titled: “Have No Fear Of The Word Pyramid.”

Prospective SDI entrepreneurs seeking the optimal SDI business opportunity are encouraged to consider various factors before blindly enrolling with the first SDI “Home office” company that they happen to be introduced to by a friend, family member, working colleague or otherwise.

Too many seasoned, SDI entrepreneurs are focused on “making money” without realizing that our currency orthodox, economic system of usury-based, debt money is malfunctioning and in danger of collpase. As long as we-the-debtors keep using their (the bankers’) money and keep paying them a fee (usury) we can expect the same results – wars, violence, poverty, scarcity and lack – for none of us is freed from usury, until all of us a freed from usury.

With a little re-education about the “truth” about modern money creation, SDI entrepreneurs will realize that the less and less that we use their (the bankers’) money and keep paying them a fee (usury) – the more we can work towards shifting the consciousness towards the possibility of usuryfree living for everyone on planet earth.

If you are not taken in by the over-inflated earnings phenomenon that has been so commonly over-stated in the SDI industry and you really want to reach out and help others and strive to make this world a better place, then seek to be enrolled in an SDI business opportunity by a usuryfree creative who doubles as SDI entrepreneur. And know that all SDI entrepreneurs, (novices and seasoned) are invite to enroll with (join) the UsuryFree SDI University.


This way you will have an opportunity to earn secondary sources of income and you will also learn how to use less and less of their money and learn how to negotiate trades/exchanges using a combination of federal cash and any usuryfree community currency.

When seeking the optimal SDI business opportunity look for these elements from the “home office” company and your enrolment team:

1. Is the “home office” company debt free?
2. How many years has the SDI “home office” company been doing business?
3. How much is the initial investment and what other fees are being assessed by the “home office” company when you enroll?
4. What is the product-return policy?
5. Does the “home office” and your “enrolment team” offer sales and marketing training, as well as personal development, and re-education on relevant and timely topics?
6. Read the fine print to determine the “home office” company’s policy about controlling your SDI enterprise i.e. can you add another SDI company’s product without the fear of termination by the original “home office” SDI company.

The optimal SDI business opportunity for any novice SDI entrepreneur to consider ought to have the majority of these perks:

1.Quality products (organic – if possible) with a minimum of chemical additives at reasonable prices - that will be purchased by astute consumers on a repeat basis.
2. No registration fee.
3. No monthly or annual fee.
4. A free replicating website.
5.No requirement to purchase products upon the initial registration.
6. No monthly auto-ship requirement - otherwise referred to as "forced consumption."
7. A minimum requirement of one order in any calendar year keeps your account active.
8. Access to both the local and global market.
9. Reasonable shipping costs on reasonable priced, quality products
10. A generous compensation plan, that rewards the SDI entrepreneurs who produce results.

NOTE: Please forward the names of any SDI companies that you know of that offer the majority of the 10 perks listed above. Send an email to: tom@cyberclass.net with “Optimal SDI opportunity” in the subject line.

Introducing the UsuryFree SDI University



NOTE: This article 'Introducing the UsuryFree SDI University' is also posted at The UsuryFree Eye Opener: http://usuryfree.blogspot.ca/2014/01/introducing-usuryfree-sdi-university.html

and at Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/usuryfreesdiuniversity

‘University’ is commonly defined as: “an institution of higher education usually for people who have finished twelve years of schooling and where they can obtain more specialized knowledge and skills, and get a degree to recognize their achievements.”

What is obvious is that our renowned universities of this 21st Century are focused on teaching content that is so 19th and 20th Century. Modern universities are neglecting to develop and teach about innovative issues and topics that are fueling the ‘consciousness resolution’ of this 21st Century. Furthermore, students are graduating with heavy debt loads and jobs as employees are often unavailable in their selected careers. The time for change is now.

Two movements that I have been actively participating for 30+ years are: (a) the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry, formerly or otherwise referred to as the multi-level marketing industry or the network marketing industry and (b) the usuryfree community currency industry.

I was introduced to the SDI industry in 1979 when I enroled as an Amway distributor and I was introduced to the usuryfree community currency industry in the early 1980’s when I learned about the usuryfree LETS (Local Employment Trading System) software created by Michael Linton.

Since the mid-1980’s, I have had a vision that by twinning the best ideas and concepts from these two growing industries, we-the-people can take back our country from the New World Order elites whose agenda is to keep us forever enslaved as subservient debtors paying them usury for generation after generation.

Usuryfree creatitives who double as SDI entrepreneurs agree that these two industries are inter-connected and and that when twinned a new energy will be created by all who choose to participate. Working together, usuryfree creatives and SDI entrepreneurs will have the power and potential to take a distinctive leadership role in ushering in the forthcoming age of usuryfree living for everyone on this planet.

As active, usuryfree creatives, participants are invited to list their ‘offers’ and/or ‘requests’ of talents, skills, labour etc. Additionally, part-time and/or full time SDI entrepreneurs have access to products and/or services from selected supplier companies at wholesale prices. All SDI entrepreneurs who choose to participate are likewise invited to list these as ‘offers’ so that trades can be negotiated. Of course, trades can be negotiated to 100% of any usuryfree community currency or for any agreed upon combination of federal cash and usuryfree community currency. Each SDI entrepreneur knows how much federal cash is needed to cover any wholesale costs.

Hamburger University, which is the worldwide management training centre for McDonald’s restaurants has a physical location in Oak Brook, Illinois.

The leading SDI entrepreneurs enrolled with Organo Gold have create "OG University." The OG University is focused on the coffee industry in general and more specifically the Organo Gold SDI opportunity. The idea of the UsuryFree SDI University will have some similarities to "OG University" but it will be much more diversified and it will offer information not found at the "OG University."

Both the SDI industry and the usuryfree community currency industry need a generic training component designed exclusively to ‘de-educate’ and ‘re-educate’ all who choose to participate. Without the huge investment of usury-based, debt money, we cannot have physical buildings like Hamburger University.

As an innovative, alternative I suggest that instead of a physical location with expensive buildings, we-the-people can initiallycreate an online UsuryFree SDI University in cyberspace and our tuition will start by being FREE for those first few hundred who enrol and we will see what evolves over time.

At our UsuryFree SDI University in cyberspace, we will all have the opportunity to be students and teachers, for as we learn new information, we will be motivated to share it with others. We will track those who are enroling by observing the list of ‘followers’ at the twin blogs and at this group at Facebook - The SDI University at Facebook.

The Twin Blogs:

1. The UsuryFree Eye Opener
2. The SDI Eye Opener

An online publication is also recommended as compulsory reading for SDI entrepreneurs and/or usuryfree creatives freely enrolled with UsuryFree SDI University - The Agora National. Back issues of each of this publication are archived for easy reading access online or for downloading.

The Agora National and The Agora National at Facebook

Another recommended resource is Wayne Walton at Facebook - Wayne Walton is an active usuryfree creative who shares an abundance of relevant information on his wall at Facebook - with plenty of links to bookmark as useful resources. Send him a "friend request" and tell him that Tom J. Kennedy gave you the referral.

The DVD ‘Money As Debt’ which was created by Paul Grigon from British Columbia, Canada is also recommended as essential viewing for becoming usuryfree creatives. It is posted at google video and can be found from any search engine. This DVD is a the lesson on money creation that formal education neglected to teach.

Everyone with an entrepreneurial edge and/or a desire to experience the reality of usuryfree living is welcome to freely attend the UsuryFree SDI University. The DVD, the blogs and the publications are open for “de-education’ and ‘re-education’ for 24 hours each day, 7 days each week. Other resources will be added on a regular basis. The only prerequisite is that all who choose to attend must be willing to “learn what you don’t know you don’t know” and then share what you learn with others.

What is offered at The UsuryFree Eye Opener is what I refer to as back-end teaching. The lessons learned about our orthodox, economic system of usury-based 1/(s-i) system are essential background information for anyone to fully understand why we must shift from using their (the bankers’) money and stop paying them a fee (usury), and instead, learn how to create and spend our own money for FREE.

Also offered at The UsuryFree Eye Opener is an abundance of information and resources about (a) the faltering and failing, usury-based, debt money system of orthodox economics and (b) the growth and evolution of the usuryfree community currency movement from its re-birthing stages in the early 1980’s to its ultimate growth potential.

What is offered at The SDI (Self Directed Income) Eye Opener is essential background information about the SDI industry and its unique products and creative business opportunities. Indeed, the SDI industry has the potential to lead the way as the optimal, sales and marketing industry of this 21st Century. Our creativity as usuryfree creatives and SDI entrepreneurs, aided and abetted by software engineers and programmers, will facilitate the shift from ‘living with usury’ to ‘usuryfree living.’

What is offered at The Agora National is written at their website: “It is a cunningly coordinated response to establishment centric news-media conglomerates which are neither willing nor capable of adapting to the rapidly evolving Canadian consciousness and which consistently fail to represent the diverse interest of Canadains.” SDI entreprenneurs are invited to advertise their products and/or business opportunities in the Agora National.

I anticipate that a core network of active SDI entrepreneurs already enrolled with one or more SDI business opportunities will be 'ready and willing' to support the idea of the "UsuryFree SDI University."

The unsponsored but prospective SDI entrepreneurs are likewise invited to come forth and explore the SDI industry and learn about the various SDI opportunities that are worthy of consideration. There are an abundance of SDI opportunities now surfacing and when the time is right, the unsponsored will have acquired sufficient information to make wise choices when they enrol with their first SDI business opportunity.

Potential SDI entrepreneurs are invited to do their own research as they seek solid sources of regular earnings from one or more of the growing list of tried and proven SDI opportunities. I have listed the SDI opportunities that I am enrolled with at the end of the article titled: "An SDI Backgrounder and Unique and Timely SDI Opportunities."

Other tried and proven SDI opportunities will be considered for addition to our respective SDI Portfolios as this ‘portfolio concept’ becomes accepted within the more seasoned SDI entrepreneurs. This ‘portfolio concept’ may be foreign to many SDI entrepreneurs simply because the majority of the ‘supplier’ companies in the SDI industry, chose to control their employee-distributors with ‘threats of termination’ in the fine print of the contracts in the latter years of the 20th Century. For the novice SDI entrepreneurs, the idea of building an SDI Portfolio simply adds to their current ‘Job Portfolios’ whereby they are employees for various employers.

I am inviting all who choose to participate as SDI entrepreneurs to ‘gift’ a small portion (10%) of any SDI earnings to The Family Life Foundation - so that funds can be raised to hire software engineers and programmers, so that we can quickly have our online database ready for negotiating trades by using any usuryfree community currency as a complement with our diminishing amounts of federal cash. Software engineers and programmers are ready and willing to offer their labour to create the software as long as their monthly bills are being paid. We will install icons for donations at a website in the not-too-distant future.

For the novice SDI entrepreneur who is exploring the SDI industry for the first time, I highly recommend that you explore and research the SDI industry before you unknowingly enrol with any SDI business opportunity. You choice of team leadership can make a difference in the success or failure of your SDI enterprise

Our teams of SDI entrepreneurs who double as usuryfree creatives are dedicated to the idea of co-operative capitalism whereby we support the team in creative ways that are mutually beneficial to all who choose to participate. The testimonials from SDI entrepreneurs who double as usury free creatives are noteworthy and they commonly choose to enrol with SDI business opportunity that offers the SDI entrepreneurs fair and just financial compensation for their time and energy invested.

Our doors in cyberspace are open for the UsuryFree SDI University - thanks to all who have contributed with the online resources. Let’s make this news go viral and network it it far and wide.

Working with you for “peace and plenty” by 2020
I AM

How Do I Know If It’s My Soul or My Ego Talking?


By  Rhiame (Waking Times)


In Personocratia, we talk about making the transfer of power from ego to soul in order to create the shift of consciousness that we hope for. But how do I know if it is my soul or my ego talking? Since it is a recurrent question, I thought it was time to write about it, and share with you some simple tools to help develop your discernment.
Differentiating ego from soul is often tricky. First, because very few people had direct contact with their soul, therefore we don’t know much about how it feels. Secondly, a great deal of confusion is intentionally perpetuated by religion, spirituality and science to make sure people do not connect with their soul. Indeed, if they do, they would free themselves from domination, and that would mark the end of the world of illusion in which we presently live.
On the other hand, there is one character that we know intimately — he is the one who has been leading our lives for millennia. I call him Mr. Ego. He is the one who would be much easier to identify. When we know it is ego talking then, by deduction, we know this is not our soul.
Presently, our mental, vital and physical bodies are under the governance of our ego 99.99% of the time. So, let’s get to know him. Ghis came up with simple recipes to help us sharpen our discernment, a necessary skill until we can establish a direct connection with our soul. Here are the three main characteristics that undoubtedly define ego.
Ego Speaks
The expression “listen to your soul” is often misleading. Indeed, the soul does not speak; it’s ego that speaks, and as a matter of fact, very loudly. In my search to follow my soul’s will, I often call on her for guidance, and usually, obviously, I expect an answer from her.
Unfortunately, most of the time — if not all the time — the first answer that comes is not from my soul, but from my ego. I’ll use a little story to illustrate what happens in the background of our consciousness.
Let’s imagine that Mr. Ego and Ms. Soul live under the same roof (body), and there’s only one phone line in the house to contact either of the two. So, every time I call to reach Ms. Soul, it’s Mr. Ego who picks up the phone. He’s a control freak, a self-absorbed, noisy character that wants to be in charge of everything. He makes sure that Ms. Soul never answers the phone, and plays tricks so I won’t recognize him. He even changes his voice and his attitude to make me believe it is my soul talking. But when I learn the right tools to recognize him, I get taken in by his tricks less and less.
The Soul does not speak. She is a voiceless character that imposes her will smoothly by setting up life situations. She is more of a doer than a talker. When she manifests her will, she usually makes me do things that may not make any sense at first glance — from an egotistic standpoint. Often it sounds illogical and scary, but it is so strong that I feel compelled to do it. An inner state of ‘knowing’ or ‘feeling right’ is created. I’d like to quote Mother who said, “If you ask yourself whether it’s the soul talking, then you know it’s not.” This may clarify, if in doubt!
Ego Wants
Ego always wants something or doesn’t want something. He is the one who makes me say: “I want more money“, “I don’t want to be sick“, “I don’t want to live aloneI want to find a companion“, “I need to be recognized”, and on and on. By wanting or needing things, the ego is always attached to a result that is tangible.
On the other hand, the soul does not want anythingShe has no expectations and she is not attached to any outcome. The soul is only interested in the experience, the process. All she is interested in is the emancipation of my being, and in the evolution of my consciousness towards who I really am. Any life situation I may encounter is regarded as beneficial for that purpose; indeed, for the soul, there are no positive or negative life experiences — they are all working for the idessic/supramental realization.
… And Fast
Ego wants fastSo each time I feel rushed to do something or to make a decision, I know it’s my ego’s impulse. Indeed, ego lives in a mortal reality where he believes that his time is limited. He is the one who wants me to do as many things as possible in a short period of time. He is the one who is afraid of missing an opportunity, and who does not want to waste time in things that do not fulfill his immediate needs.
Whereas the soul lives in the infinite present moment and is immortal. So each time I feel rushed to do or decide something, I must stop right away and give myself time to think it over. Concretely, I must shut down my ego’s big mouth which obstructs my clarity and prevents me from perceiving my soul’s inclination. Only when my ego is silenced and put on the back seat of the car can my soul take the wheel, in other words, take the governance of my life, and lead me in the direction that will further her fusion with my body.
Not giving way to the ego and surrendering to the soul is essential for the realization of the idessic/supramental being. Here is a quote from Mother who explains the process:
“Those who wish to help the Light of Truth to prevail over the forces of darkness and falsehood, can do so by carefully observing the initiating impulses of their movements and actions, and discerning between those that come from the Truth and those that come from the falsehood, in order to obey the first and to refuse or reject the others.
This power of discernment is one of the first effects of the Advent of the Truth’s Light in the earth’s atmosphere…” (Mother’s Agenda, 1965)
Now that you have a simple tool, you can start practicing your discernment in order to transfer the power of governance from ego (falsehood) to soul (truth-reality). The less I let my ego lead my life, the more my soul takes over. And the more we practice, the faster we’ll get out of this appalling fear-based animal humanity that creates hell on earth!

The Power and Potential of the SDI Industry


NOTE: This article was first published in the late 1990's. I have added a couple of updated notes.

by Tom J. Kennedy

The exciting explosion in the relatively new SDI (Self Directed Incomes) industry is fuelling a rebirth in entrepreneurism. In its short history the SDI industry has been referred to as MLM (Multi Level Marketing), Person To Person Marketing and/or Network Marketing. After attending a seminar in the fall of 1996 with an experienced leader in the network marketing industry where we discussed the history and the future of network marketing I have been referring to the industry as the SDI industry to better reflect that the industry indeed does offer an opportunity to earn self directed incomes.

The concept of network distribution bypasses joint ventures, expensive advertising campaigns and traditional wholesalers and retailers and efficiently delivers products and/or services to multiple millions who are now active in the SDI industry. In fact, the SDI industry is being lauded as the last best hope for the over-taxed middle class to secure financial independence. Amway, the pioneer and still the leading SDI company boasts of a sales force in excess of 2.5 million SDI entrepreneurs in 75 countries worldwide who marketed merchandise worth $9.4 billion in 1996. 

NOTE: Amway has continued to grow worldwide in this 21st  Century under the new name Alticor - achieving $11.3 billion in sales in 2012.

Word-of mouth advertising, (by phone, fax, email, or regular mail) is the lifeblood of the SDI industry as participants simply share personal experiences and relevant information about the various business opportunities, products and services. As this new approach of network distribution continues to expand in popularity, the concept of building an SDI Portfolio of selected business opportunities is likely to become a reality since many SDI entrepreneurs experience value by being connected to more than one SDI supplier of products and/or services.

The annual volume of products and services distributed through the SDI industry now exceeds multiple billions of dollars. 

NOTE: The SDI industry achieved $167 billion in total global sales in 2012.

Some well known universities are preparing to offer credit courses on this unusual concept of network distribution. Certainly the SDI industry projects a bright and prosperous future as we progress in this new millenium. 

The SDI industry was launched in the early 1950's by such innovative pioneers as Jay VanAndel and Rich DeVos who first launched Nitrilife and then Amway. Likewise, in the 1950's Dr. Forest Shaklee started the Shaklee Corporation. They were daring SDI entrepreneurs who were perceptive enough to know that it takes something new, exciting, different, powerful and something unusual to put and keep enthusiasm into lives dulled by monotonous daily routines.

In the 21st Century, thousands of SDI companies (many not even created yet) will offer unusual business opportunities, and tens of thousands of quality products and/or services because individuals dared to lead the way and be unusually different in the 1950's. The growth rate of the SDI industry is already surpassing the growth rate of the traditional retail store industry (which is currently in a state of decline) as SDI entrepreneurs commence building  Portfolios of selected opportunities.

While some of the seasoned SDI companies (e.g. Amway and Shaklee) led the way in the 50's, 60's and 70's, younger companies (e.g. Mary Kay and Herbalife) achieved spectacular growth in the 1980's. Many new SDI companies are experiencing phenomenal growth in this 21st Century.

Numerous eager entrepreneurs will continue to venture into the SDI world and set up brilliant, refined marketing plans which will adapt proven, existing SDI methods and add some innovative practices including barter. Given the ease of modern technology the SDI industry is positioned for remarkable growth in the 21st Century.

These new SDI companies will offer exclusive and expanding lines of quality products and/or services through growing networks of SDI associates who will purchase at wholesale prices for personal use and retail to any consumers who still wish to pay retail prices.The SDI industry is likely to revolutionize the traditional concepts of wholesale and retail buying since there will be less and less demand for retail stores.

Most SDI entrepreneurs run their respective, independent enterprises from their residence. They are no longer required to carry an inventory of stock since most SDI suppliers now offer state-of-the-art computer ordering and record keeping that permits associates to order single units rather than full cases of products which was common practice with the SDI industry pioneers who did not have access to the ease of technology that is now available.

The SDI industry is mushrooming because of the unusual desire for "improved wealth, health, and vitality" and the unusual need for solid sources of secondary income(s) by people from all walks of life. Companies in the SDI industry offer individuals lucrative opportunities with all the usual (and some unusual) tax benefits of the out-of-reach traditional businesses as well as unlimited worldwide growth potential. See this article: "Tax Benefits of  an SDI Enterprise."

The business world - past or present - has never witnessed a sales and marketing idea remotely comparable to this very thrifty but explosive method of marketing and by adapting computer technology the SDI industry has even more potential for growth.  Like an electrical current running through the economic system of our troubled times SDI business opportunities are rejuvenating, regenerating, restoring and giving a new lease on life to countless millions who have been suffering from financial oppression by the influential and the wealthy 5% of the population to whom we have voluntarily - perhaps even unknowingly - but mistakenly, surrendered our individual freedom, leadership and power. 

I draw your attention to the blog - The UsuryFree Eye Opener -  for additional information.

SDI networks grow in an unusual way. People (singles, couples or partners) are sponsored (recruited or enrolled) by an active associate within an SDI company who has previously been sponsored by another. Each SDI entrepreneur builds his/her own portfolio by connecting with one or more SDI suppliers from which they purchase products and/or services at wholesale prices - usually on a repeat basis. 

New recruits are encouraged to invest a small amount of money to purchase educational tools - audio and video cassettes, books, brochures and other relevant SDI resources - if they are serious about building an SDI enterprise.

Some new recruits in the SDI industry simply wish to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase products and/or services for personal use at wholesale prices and this is quite acceptable in the SDI industry. SDI entrepreneurs who wish to "share' or "pass along" any newly acquired knowledge of products, services and/or business opportunities simply tell others - by word of mouth, click of mouse, phone, fax, email or snail mail - about the benefits and the SDI contribution principle of logarithmic growth takes over. 

SDI entrepreneurs are building profitable enterprises because enthusiastic SDI associates are honestly marketing the Permanent Earnings Portfolio concept and expanding networks of  shop-at-home consumers are responding since they appreciate the dual opportunity of home shopping and earning secondary income(s).

Initial, low cost SDI opportunities are a guaranteed investment that keeps the door open for every individual (usually over 16 years), who wants to become an entrepreneur, run an independent enterprise and yet not be totally alone. By utilizing the vehicle of SDI the formerly lethargic masses have an opportunity to experience "increased wealth' and "improved health and vitality". 

In addition, participants in the SDI industry are learning much about "economics and human nature" and they are recognizing that their former lethargy, ignorance and apathy played a small part in contributing to the escalating political, economic and moral decay that is currently creating havoc in this dearly beloved country of Canada and elsewhere on planet earth.

SDI entrepreneurs not only seek to free themselves from poor and/or average health conditions but also from the unusual financial "yoke of USURY" that is designed to keep them in a negative state of mind. SDI associates are the citizens most likely to willingly accept leadership roles in exposing the "yoke of USURY" and in re-educating others as we are prepare to meet the challenge of keeping our cherished freedoms for our children and grandchildren in the 21st Century and beyond.

Finding a dream, creating a purpose in life, setting goals, listening, learning and teaching are essential prerequisites for success in the SDI industry and in all other areas of life.

During the transition period - that time when one first learns about the SDI industry and its abundance of opportunities, the concept of building an SDI portfolio, the practice of bartering within the respective SDI networks, the psychology of sharing knowledge and re-educating within the SDI community - a process of awareness takes place. 

Experienced SDI entrepreneurs with a vision are assuming leadership roles as they expose newcomers to the muscle and power of the new psychological realm and the raising of consciousness phenomenon that is becoming so evident within the growing SDI networks.

With it's powerful potential and multiple missions and the collective dreams of its participants this great but seemingly unknown sales and marketing concept is becoming the people's opiate of the 21st Century. 

The SDI industry may well become the saviour of the free enterprise system, the vehicle to facilitate the re-education process of the masses, and the catalyst that will preserve our ultimate freedoms which are intricately tied to our cherished but fragile free enterprise system established by our ancestors.

Networking Systems Moving Us Towards The Age of “Peace and Plenty”



By Tom J. Kennedy

The work that you as an active, SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneur are putting in now, will be well rewarded as information seekers usher in the Age Of Aquarius. Talk to family, relatives, friends, neighbours, working colleagues, community contacts end even strangers as you begin to set up exciting and expanding re-educational networks – and dare to share with them information and resources that will build them as people so that they in turn will be prepared to build an SDI enterprise.

For example, when you commit to contacting two people and coach them to duplicate your effort, you will create a cascading effect of team “spillover” and this will guarantee co-operative success for all who choose to participate and you can help to accelerate the re-education of those who are ‘ready and willing’ to be re-educated.

Consider such networking growth as cellular growth similar to nature’s own building blocks. Countless cells will radiate out from each other, each inter-connected, each the centre of its own world, each like a hologram, each containing the whole.

The SDI Eye Opener combined with the UsuryFree Eye Opener are resources to be used as twin cell builders for re-education. Re-educated, SDI entrepreneurs are positioned to lead the way as we focus on building a future paradigm for usuryfree living.

It is my conviction that SDI entrepreneurs are capable of networking relevant and timely information to millions by “word of mouth” and “click of mouse.” And the open-minded leaders in the SDI industry are in a key position to help re-educate multiple millions on the “truth” about our orthodox, economic system of usury-based, debt money, at a rapid rate.

It is prudent to seek dependable, self-motivated and committed SDI entrepreneurs as the nucleus of any re-educational network. In the early stages of growth vision, discipline and total commitment are required to launch vibrant networks, however, the long-term rewards, financial and otherwise, will be worth the initial effort – especially as we shift to a usuryfree, economic model.

Aspiring SDI entrepreneurs are encouraged to commit to pursuing a self-imposed course of study on topics commonly neglected within the walls of formal education – topics about economics, health and wellness, energy, spirituality, personal growth or self-help etc.

There are an abundance of relevant postings at the twin blogs – The SDI Eye Opener and the UsuryFree Eye Opener that can be read and shared by “word of mouth” or “click of mouse.” "Welcome To My Twin Blogs.”

SDI entrepreneurs are likewise invited and encouraged to research the current SDI opportunities and initially choose to become active with one selected SDI opportunity.

Husband and wife teams and/or family units where children in their late teens or in their twenties are still living at home may consider the benefits of building an SDI Portfolio with a minimum of two SDI opportunities – each in a distinct marketing niche.

This strategy supports that popular, free enterprise expression – “never keep all of your eggs in one basket” and assures the family that there will be multiple streams of reasonable income. Historically, too many SDI entrepreneurs who relied on a single source of income from one SDI opportunity have had negative experiences when the “home office” closed or just disappeared.

Of course, the big income earners within the various SDI organizations and the “home office” of the popular SDI corporations would prefer that you focus on the one SDI opportunity that you were first sponsored into. Why? The answer is obvious. They want to own you and coerce you to produce results because your production puts more money in their pockets.

With the dawn of internet marketing and the decline of hotel meetings, many SDI entrepreneurs have embraced affiliate marketing, e-books, coaching webinars etc. – these various activities are evidence of SDI entrepreneurs succeeding with multiple sources of income.


Over the years, it is my observation that the top income earners in the SDI industry have “multiple streams of income” event though they counsel their new recruits at the fringe of their ever-expanding networks to focus on the one SDI opportunity. Whenever I inquired about their “multiple sources of income” the patent answer was: “When you analyze, you paralyze.”

As an advocate of “free enterprise” I recognize that some people want to become the big money earners – the millionaires – but other people are satisfied with a couple of reasonable second income sources. People have their own reasons for doing what they do, so let’s not judge them, instead, let’s respect their choices. Failures in the SDI industry as well as elsewhere in the market economy can be attributed to the design flaw of usury and its immoral and evil effects on debtors everywhere. “SDI Entrepreneurs Need To Know The Truth.”


If an SDI entrepreneur has the discipline and ability to outsource some tasks and leverage the work of others in a team, I see no problem with having an SDI Portfolio – with more than one source of income. I know some successful SDI entrepreneurs who are earning reasonable incomes from more than one SDI company.

The secret to success in the SDI industry is to first enroll with a solid “home office” company that is stable and without usury-bearing debt. Then enroll two SDI entrepreneurs who will each commit to duplicating your leadership. If that is all you teach in your network, that may very well be enough to eventually qualify you to earn fair commissions and bonuses.

Look for unique marketing structures that will assure you that every time you perform with honesty and integrity, the marketing program will perform for you financially in a fair method as your learning curve expands.

Be prudent and cautious. Be aware of building vertical depth as you build new horizontal width in your business enterprise.  Communicate regularly with your team leaders and your new recruits and manage your expanding growth. Any worthy SDI opportunity honestly pays SDI entrepreneurs reasonable commissions for working honestly.

Informed and re-educated, SDI entrepreneurs will quickly recognize that a unique re-educational program will give them the essential tools to build economic lifeboats for themselves and their loved ones while the ill-informed masses risk getting mired in economic mud, or eventually sinking like the Titanic whose captain thought he was invincible.

You may think, “I’m just one individual, this challenge is too great for me to handle.” Be assured however, that you are one of the millions who are now awakening as we usher in a New Age of UsuryFree Living coinciding with the Age of Aquarius. You are one of the budding SDI entrepreneurs who is feeling empowered to demand positive, constructive and peaceful change for planet earth.


A renaissance, a rebirth the like of which has not been seen since the 14th and 15th centuries in Europe is occuring  and such power to participate is your birthright – but first you have to claim it. Indeed, there was “Life Without Usury” in the past and there will be “Life Without Usury” again in the not-too-distant future.

It is important to understand that this whole movement towards economic alternatives, ecological sanity, and environmental protection, is not being motivated by any level of government, rather it is the outcome of individual effort, and SDI entrepreneurs can assume leadership roles in accelerating the shifting of consciousness.

It is happening because every day, somebody, somewhere is caring enough to get involved. We would be foolish to ignore the lesson of history where the uninformed, out of frustration and anger escalated social unrest by challenging those whom they perceived to be wealthy and guilty.

These challengers had neither an alternative, economic plan, nor the accumulated wealth needed to oust those already in power. Chaos and bloodshed always followed and those with the wealth inevitably kept power and the game of “usury economics” and “global power” continued to blunder along fulfilling their (the bankers’) New World Order agenda.

Now we have the technology and the resources to quietly lead the de-educational and re-educational processes and network the “truth” about our orthodox, economic system of usury-based, debt money problems. Without a doubt, the old ways of doing business are no longer working. The system is rampant with design flaws and new and unique economic solutions are required.

Leaders in the SDI industry are optimally positioned to network workable solutions by injecting new economic methods or models one step at a time. Some good ideas are presented in this article titled: “Letter To SDI Entrepreneurs.”


In the meantime, the knowledge available to SDI entrepreneurs, when twinned with other relevant resources will empower the common people to create a peaceful process of change while earning reasonable commissions within the SDI industry that permit them to survive within the existing “system” that is slowly disintegrating.

It follows that eventually there will be no longer be wars, violence, poverty, scarcity and lack. Instead, what will surface as the alternative will be a usuryfree lifestyle - complete with global peace, abundance, and prosperity. Hopefully everyone on planet earth will experience “peace and plenty by 2020.” SDI entrepreneurs can make it happen!

In the process of overhauling the conventional wisdom of business via the tried and proven networking system, SDI entrepreneurs now have a great opportunity to aspire to become debt-free and financially independent within the existing “system.” But the ultimate goal is to evolve and eventually experience the reality of a usuryfree lifestyle in this incarnation.

We-the-usuryfree-creatives take great pride in our networking relationships with current and prospective SDI entrepreneurs. We are fully aware of the many benefits of studying the postings/resources at The UsuryFree Eye Opener and the SDI Eye Opener – with more being added on a regular basis. We are conscious of our responsibility to share this newly acquired knowledge so that anyone and everyone can choose to follow a self-imposed course of study – beyond the walls of formal education.

SDI entrepreneurs (current or prospective) are invited to start their self-imposed course of study with this posting – which has a number of relevant links listed at the end of the article:
