Since launching the One Percent Project almost a month ago today, we've managed to get the project to 84% funding with all of your amazing help. For that, I'd like to thank you sincerely on behalf of the whole Radiiate & Rockstar Foundation team; without your help this would not have been possible!

But (there's always a but, right?), we would so love to have the project 100% funded before we hit the start of 2011, so we're hoping we can count on you to make one final donation. And I'd like to incentivize this is a little...

Get the Twitter machine working!

Please tweet, re-tweet and re-re-tweet the following tweet:

Contribute to the One Percent Project. RT this & @adii donates $0.10 to charity for every tweet. http://bit.ly/onepercentproject

For every single tweet or re-tweet, I will personally donate $0.10 USD to the One Percent Project to make sure that we reach that 100% mark before the New Year starts. I'm obviously also counting on you guys & girls to help me out by actually donating to the project as well... :)

More Incentives

In addition to the *extreme warm fuzzies* of contributing to a great project, I will further try to make this worth your while. Every single donation and tweet from now until the end of the year (i.e. 31 December 2010 for those that tend to confuse easily :)) will be entered into a prize draw for an awesome little gift package:

• A signed hard cover edition of my book, Rockstar Business, along with a PDF version. (Note: The hard cover is actually sold out and not available otherwise.)
• 2 hours of my virtual time to answer any questions, be a consultant for your business or whatever.
• An awesome, limited edition WooThemes gift package, which includes the special "Where there is a WOO, there is a way" t-shirt.

Not bad hey? Now get donating & tweeting! :)

Having teased this little project last week, I'm so excited to launch it: The One Percent Project.

All of us uses our computers all day long and I bet that most of us normally can't wait to upgrade our computer setups to the latest tech (rewarding ourselves for our hard work). I know I do that... So this project is all about giving something (very related) back to enable those that will not get the opportunity otherwise.

I have kickstarted the campaign with a $200 USD donation myself and I hope I can count on you guys & girls to do the same! :)

A little teaser for a new project launching next week, as a result of a collaboration between Radiiate & Rockstar Foundation. (You can also see more teasers here.)

I know I've been really quiet with regards to the things we're working on at the Foundation, but it is really a result of being a terribly busy patch of my life (which doesn't look likely to stop before end-of-year). That said, I'm excited as ever about the Foundation and can't wait to grow it - with Jeanne's help - next year!

I’ve often wondered whether anyone else considered why I would be involved with a charity such as The Rockstar Foundation, as perhaps the business / entrepreneur persona versus the charitable / giving persona weren’t as obviously aligned. So I figured that I’d share a few reasons for my (personal) involvement in the Foundation…

1. I have an absolute passion for kids and helping out kids that are talented, are willing to work extremely hard & as a result have the ability to become the leaders & game-changers of tomorrow.
2. Every time I get to see Mariana & Okuhle (this doesn’t happen often), my faith & investment in the Foundation gets confirmed. I love these two, amazing girls to bits and since joining the Foundation they’ve done incredible work.
3. South Africa is an amazing place, but the country needs every little bit of help it can get to eradicate the not-so-great things. I believe that education is a great way of enabling a better future for all South Africans, which is why we are targeting such talented girls to be history makers going forward.
4. I’ve been incredibly blessed as an entrepreneur & as an individual. I have so many great things going for me in my life (on all levels) and the Foundation is a way of giving back and saying thanks for all the privileges that I have been allowed thus far.
5. I also share the exact same passion, ambition & drive for the Foundation as I do with my business ventures. For me, the Foundation also represents a challenge & a massive learning curve; both which I love embracing as I continue to evolve & develop as an individual & entrepreneur.
