About MiracleMind

What’s Happening Now

Technical, design and course development continues. We’ve been generating revenues through development and consulting jobs for other companies; we expect this to continue in 2009.

Qualified instructors continue to engage us. Partnerships with e-learning companies offer new options for those instructors with decades of practical experience.

We just completed a new 14 minute flash presentation that explains the entire MiracleMind business model in 12 short segments. Professional audio narration and graphics provide a clear and concise explanation for investors and new instructors. The new show will be online by Dec. 6th at: miraclemind.com/showcase.

What To Expect In 2009

While the current economic crisis looms, our long-term plans remain in place. The education sector - especially online learning - will continue to grow. Most estimates project e-learning to double over the next four years. In addition:

  • The demand for affordable skills training and consumer education, in a wide range of categories, continues to rise.
  • In the coming months the advertising environment supporting the MiracleMind business model will be more favorable.
  • The home-schooling movement continues to gain momentum.
  • Direct sales and home-business opportunities always expand when the economy contracts.

MiracleMind plans to launch in the Spring of ’09, and will be ready for aggressive nationwide promotion by mid-year.

Investor Education Courses…

Recent events have prompted us to take a more detailed approach regarding financial education. New tensions surrounding investment returns, retirement planning and college funding have created a growing market for those committed to deep research and education. Next year you’ll see a variety of flat-rate and fee-based courses surrounding this important subject.

Voluntary Simplicity: The Practical Wisdom of Non-Consumption

Voluntary simplicity is a lifestyle individuals choose to minimize the ’more-is-better’ pursuit of wealth and consumption. Adherents may choose simple living for a variety of reasons, such as spirituality, health, increase in ’quality time’ for family and friends, stress reduction, personal taste or frugality. Others cite socio-political goals aligned with conservation, social justice and sustainable development. Voluntary simplicity is outwardly more simple and inwardly more rich, a way of being in which our most authentic and alive self is brought into direct and conscious contact with the world community.

How much is it worth to learn to create a better life while spending $10,000 less every year? For many, this requires new knowledge and skills related to food choices, travel, transportation, energy, working from home, entertainment and a host of money saving habits as part of everyday living.

The Changing Face of Education

Earlier this year a comprehensive survey of public opinion was completed by The Program on Education Policy & Governance at Harvard University. The survey revealed an increasingly critical view both of public schools as they exist today, and perhaps ironically, of many prominent reforms designed to improve them. Public schools got even lower marks than in 2007. Some posted sharp declines! 80% of Americans gave the nation’s public schools a grade C or less, and 60% assigned these grades to schools in their own community. This is a complex and serious subject. Our next newsletter will report more on these issues, including all the good news!
