all profits might not go directly to the orphans.
That's actually standard practice. Billions of dollars go to charities that spend 4-11% of donations on the cause they're claiming to help.
http://news.msn.com/us/little-money-actually-goes-to-causes-charity-investigationhttp://www.tampabay.com/americas-worst-charities/Only a very few charities spend more than 65% on their cause, and if we spend as little as 15% on children that will be enough to avoid getting on a "worst charity" list. And it's unlikely that anyone will audit us in our first few years even if we're bringing in millions of dollars. There won't even be tax records to look at for another year.
The best part though, is that we can easily spend a good portion of the money on things that
do count as "going to the cause" even through they're things that we want to do anyway. For example, if we spend a million dollars building an
evil secret lair orphanage and
kidnap house some
slaves experimental test subjects minions abandoned children in need of homes...there's our donation money being put to
evil good use.
That's pretty much what I had in mind.
by the next mont and have 4,000 dollars!
$2700 in our first month. Excellent.
1) Continue pushing for donators.
2) Start taking regular ninjutsu classes. Three nights a week at least. Also, become a regular at the local parkour club.
3) Attend some NLP and communication seminars.
4) Recruit some
slave labor completely legal interns desperate for work experience for their resume to do our accounting, maintain the website and handle general office work.
5) Talk to people at the parkour group and get to know our interns and donation solicitors. Look for easily molded people who are discontent with their lives and the status quo of society, scared for the future and in desperate need of our personal guidance and vision. Use our newly founded interpersonal communication skills to engender a deep sense of rapport and loyalty. Buy them dinner. Notice if their shoes are old and they need new ones while out walking door to door for donations. Get involved with them personally and individually. Find out their interests, hobbies and skills. Our organization will require individuals with many skills: lawyers and accountants, mind control handlers, construction workers, security, public relations representatives, speech writers, thugs, genetic engineers and scientists. Many things. We may as well recruit minions who will be genuinely happy in the roles we provide for them. If we can get people absolutely loyal to us and willing to work for us in fields they want to work in, we'll be happy to provide them with the training they need to do with they love for their evil overlord.
Pay attention to their emotional and financial needs and fulfill them. Make them feel like "we're going somewhere" and if they get on board "at the ground level" they'll "get ahead" in life. Give them the
ghosts of christmas treatment: Drive them to the ghetto and show them people living in cardboard boxes. Tell them that they've been lied to all their life and that that's what happens to people who fall for it. Then dress up in expensive clothe and eat good food and wine and show that that if they follow us, they too can live a life of luxury. Show them both a carrot and a whip. But we're not the one who'll be doing the whipping. They'll be whipping themselves and suffering for it their entire lives if they don't jump through the window of opportunity we're offering them.
Our goal is willful, loving obedience and gratitude. Personal loyalty to us. We are their family now.
