Self-Employment Opportunities for U.S. Veterans

America's Heroes Face High Unemployment

RJ Yanni & Associates, LLC is a New York Corporation in Good Standing based in Garden City announced the beginning of a fund raising campaign to raise money for Self-Employment Opportunities for U.S. Veterans. The company is ready, willing, able, and authorized to enroll 500-1000 Veterans per month as registered agents of either of two of the most reputable companies in the US: Ambit Energy and FamilyIQ.

The first, Ambit Energy of Dallas, TX that was ranked No.1 by the Inc.500 in September 2010. Ambit is a reseller of natural gas and electricity to residential and light commercial customers at guaranteed savings. Typical savings are from 5-10% in natural gas, and 20-30% in electricity. The compensation plan permits business owners to earn five-figures per month plus residuals. Residuals are often better than traditional retirement plans where they still exist in today's economic downturn. The company is professionally run, honest, ethical and provides free training, mentorship, websites, weekly webinars, and a back office/power zone complete with marketing materials, auto responders, and client tracking software. We are seeking to enroll 500-1,000 new representatives per month for  the next year. For more information about how this can be a financial answer for you, go to: Ambit Energy: Guaranteed Natural Gas & Electricity Savings & Why Ambit Works! To apply for a start-up subsidy or become a donor to the program, please go to the fund raising site at: Self-Employment Opportunities for U.S. Veterans.

The second company FamilyIQ is a 10-year old company that strengthens families throughout the world. Founded by Mark Hobbins in 2001, FamilyIQ has helped thousands of people throughout the world strengthen their families as they improve their own personal, partner and parenting skills. FamilyIQ has received numerous awards and recognitions, including The Society of Technical Communication Excellence Award for its online courses.  Offered for the last ten years, primarily through therapists and treatment programs, Family IQ’s life changing and family strengthening program is now being offered directly to the general public. For more than 25 years, Mark has helped families whose children had gone too far down the road of self-defeating and even self-destructive behaviors—families who needed intervention to rescue their child and heal their family. “While that was very gratifying, “Mark states, “I often wondered how many of these families could have been spared the heartache pain and costly intervention they had experienced.” This motivation became the genesis of FamilyIQ’s wellness and prevention mission.

Veterans can become FamilyIQ Independent Business Owners (IBOs), earn a five-figure per month income plus a generous residual program that rivals many retirement plans where they still exist in "traditional" corporate America. Mentors train new veterans on every aspect of the business, a back office supports all of the marketing needs, and it is Mark Hobbin's personal goal that every IBO succeed with the FamilyIQ opportunity. Once again, RJ Yanni & Associates LLC is looking to enroll 500-1,000 U.S. Veterans per month: interested donors and Veterans should contact the Richard Yanni, Director either through the fund raising site above or the company web site http://www.healthyfamilywealth.com.

The Impact

Many veterans are living in a world of despair. Upon their return to the US, they have found a hostile job market that doesn't translate their military skill set to a civilian one. Bound up in hopelessness, despair, a loss of self-esteem, frustration, and anger that their politicians have largely abandoned them after their considerable sacrifices and heroic actions, many don't know where to turn. Many contemplate suicide; far too many succeed.

At the same time, many large organizations and corporations are sending out the message, overtly and covertly, that self-employment opportunities are not "real jobs". This is despite the fact that the self-employment opportunities that RJ Yanni & Associates, LLC offers outperform the vast majority of "traditional" jobs in terms of overall income production, residuals, and job security. Furthermore, small, independently owned businesses are the very backbone of the economy.

The Problem for Veterans

Every small business has a start-up cost associated with it; this is a normal and regular cost of going into business. Even though the start-up costs for Ambit Energy and FamilyIQ are reasonable and fair, many veterans will need some form of financial assistance to meet these initial expenses so they can have a successful business launch, and get back on their feet financially. This will restore their sense of self-esteem, give them back their dignity, relieve the financial pressures of unemployment, or underemployment, and make these veterans contributing members of society, once again.

Unfortunately, most 'traditional' large businesses and governmental organizations set up to help returning veterans do not consider self employment as a "real business", and do not offer any help, nor do they encourage self-employment options. RJ Yanni & Associates, LLC is different: they recognize the lifesaving value of independent business ownership when conducted under the umbrella of an established, bonafide parent corporation. Yanni, a Vietnam War Era Veteran is particularly concerned that their great self-employment opportunities are presented to as many returning veterans as possible. "There's no need for hopelessness, unemployment, and despair among returning veterans--we have viable solutions for them, and with the generosity of donors, we will start many veterans on the path to success," said Yanni.

What We Need $$ and What You Get

We need donors to support this worthwhile cause. We propose to subsidize the start-up costs for Veterans wanting to enroll in the self-employment programs listed above. This would be accomplished through a simple means test comprised of an email letter of interest from the veteran along with a digital copy of their DD214. All grant awards would be made directly to either Ambit or to FamilyIQ in the veterans name. This would streamline the process and prevent fraud. The cost to become an Ambit Energy Independent Representative is a $465 one-time fee, plus $24.95 per month for a variety of personalized web sites that are active and ready to go.

The cost to become a FamilyIQ Independent Business Owner (IBO) is a $1,495 one-time fee which actually provides the IBO with a complete training package, plus a $79 per month fee for web hosting, redeemable points accumulation, and other features. The good news is that Mark Hobbins, CEO, has recently rolled out a low interest financing plan that enables the IBO to start their business for as little as $200 down, and $50 per month. Most IBOs have landed several commissions within the first months and elect to pay off the loan early.

Please note: all contributions made on behalf of the veterans will go directly to their account at either FamilyIQ or Ambit Energy. This ensures that your donations are used for the intended cause, and eliminates the misdirection of funds for other purposes. Additionally, the program will be monitored by a CPA firm to ensure compliance and integrity.

Other Ways You Can Help

We need people skilled in social network marketing to put out a call to contributors who are empathetic with the plight of the Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; we are also reaching out to Veterans of the Vietnam War--there are many who still need help even after all these years.

We could also use corporate donors and foundations who would look favorably on this proposal to help Veterans with Bonafide Self-Employment Opportunities by contributing to the cause.

A skilled press release writer would prove invaluable in getting this story out on PR Newswire and PR Web.If you are skilled in this area, would you please contact me if you're willing to do a little pro bono work for the cause?
