		<description><![CDATA[Genie In a Bottle

You are walking on the beach, and there in front of you is a genie lamp.  The inscription reads, "Rub me".  So you rub the lamp and out pops a genie and says, "I will grant you one wish, any wish. But there are two conditions.  Your wish has to be focused towards helping others and not yourself, and you have to be committed to seeing your wish come true."  Of course, you are wondering what happened to the other three wishes, since isn't the offer supposed to be for three wishes?  However, the genie explains that even his economy is tight right now but he should get the benefit of the doubt since, "When did anyone ever offer to grant you wish in the first place?"  Today your wish is granted, read on to learn how to get your wish.

I spend a lot of time talking with people about cool ideas they have come up with to make the world a better place.  Many of them are amazing and I am privileged to be one of the first to hear about them and spur them onto success.  This day and age anyone can have a great idea to make the world a better place, but the process to take that dream and make it a reality is often confusing.  Ocean Grand has made a commitment to help those who have a dream, a wish, and turn it into reality and we are counting on the rest of the technology, nonprofit and philanthropy world to join us in seeing dreams come true.  Continue on and find out how you can be part of a new revolution.

From extreme makeovers, building homes for those that need them, losing excessive amounts of weight, to even finding the perfect job, television is transforming peoples' lives by giving them the once-in-a-lifetime chance to change their world.  Many times these complete solutions are the collaboration of hundreds or even thousands of people all bringing a piece of the puzzle to the table to make the dream come true.  Granted, most of the time these transformations are created in the form of a competition and while some win, many lose.  But for that one lucky person, their life could be turned upside down for the good. This is just and excerpt click the link below to read the whole article and get your wish granted...]]></description>

<p>You are walking on the beach, and there in front of you is a genie lamp.  The inscription reads, <em>&#8220;Rub me&#8221;</em>.  So you rub the lamp and out pops a genie and says, &#8220;I will grant you one wish, any wish. But there are two conditions.  Your wish has to be focused towards helping others and not yourself, and you have to be committed to seeing your wish come true.&#8221;  Of course, you are wondering what happened to the other three wishes, since isn&#8217;t the offer supposed to be for three wishes?  However, the genie explains that even his economy is tight right now but he should get the benefit of the doubt since, &#8220;When did anyone ever offer to grant you wish in the first place?&#8221;  Today your wish is granted, read on to learn how to get your wish.</p>
<p>I spend a lot of time talking with people about cool ideas they have come up with to make the world a better place.  Many of them are amazing and I am privileged to be one of the first to hear about them and spur them onto success.  This day and age anyone can have a great idea to make the world a better place, but the process to take that dream and make it a reality is often confusing.  Ocean Grand has made a commitment to help those who have a dream, a wish, and turn it into reality and we are counting on the rest of the technology, nonprofit and philanthropy world to join us in seeing dreams come true.  Continue on and find out how you can be part of a new revolution.</p>
<p>From extreme makeovers, building homes for those that need them, losing excessive amounts of weight, to even finding the perfect job, television is transforming peoples&#8217; lives by giving them the once-in-a-lifetime chance to change their world.  Many times these complete solutions are the collaboration of hundreds or even thousands of people all bringing a piece of the puzzle to the table to make the dream come true.  Granted, most of the time these transformations are created in the form of a competition and while some win, many lose.  But for that one lucky person, their life could be turned upside down for the good.</p>
<p>Perhaps more than ever, with the aid of the internet, more and more people are finding that it only takes a little collaboration from a few others to make another person&#8217;s dream come true.  It no longer takes meeting in person, complicated meeting schedules or years to create a strategy for success.  For years I have run companies virtually and outsourced highly technical solutions to enable companies to run smoothly and much more efficiently.</p>
<h4>One Lucky Person<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-665" title="smoke" src="http://oceangrand.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/smoke-214x300.jpg" alt="smoke" width="214" height="300" /></h4>
<p>What if I said, &#8220;Come up with an idea for a project to make the world a better place and no matter what your idea, I would help you put it in place?&#8221;  In addition, I would not only help you put the project in place, it is yours to keep, and I will help you learn to easily fund it and make it a stunning success.  You might think you stepped onto the stage of a TV reality show and all your dreams are coming true.  In reality, (not reality TV), that is what I have the joy of doing each and every day.  If you need someone to help you put your nonprofit project in place, learn for free how to fund it and have support in making it a huge success, then this invitation is open to you.  It all begins with a short application to start a nonprofit and I will step you through the rest of the process.</p>
<h4>Your Wish Granted in One Step</h4>
<ol>
<li> Decide whether or not you&#8217;re committed once and for all to seeing your wish granted.</li>
<li>If you are still committed, and want to make your wish come true.</li>
<li>Take a minute and make sure you know what your wish is.</li>
<li>Say your wish out loud 3 times and click the button below.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-54" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="store" src="http://oceangrand.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/store-150x150.jpg" alt="store" width="150" height="150" />Virginia Beach, VA, 19 January 2009 -Welcome to the Ocean Grand information portal.  Ocean Grand, a one stop shop for those who want to start a nonprofit, has made it even easier than before to incorporate a nonprofit organization. Now thanks to a new division that puts together nonprofit 501c3 projects in many times less than two weeks, a hopeful nonprofit organization has even more options in deciding how to get established. Ocean Grand has made it a very simple process that is also very quick.</p>
<p>Many nonprofit organizations do not need to go through establishing an independent 501c3 with the IRS to do the nonprofit work they love. Instead, with a 501c3 project through Ocean Grand, many nonprofit organizations can operate within a fiscal sponsorship and have more time to do the work, not the paperwork. By using the 501c3 project avenue instead of forming an independent 501c3, all of an organization&#8217;s bookkeeping, accounting, and even end of the year paperwork is done for them. It&#8217;s a no hassle solution for many who love doing nonprofit work but are concerned with all the hassles of paperwork and staying inside the IRS guidelines for nonprofits said Scott Michael Ringo, founder. &#8220;They come to us, we get them set up with a nonprofit project and we&#8217;ll even help them learn to grant write easily.</p>
<p>Ocean Grand can also help an organization incorporate independently through the IRS quicker and more efficiently than most other ways. Ocean Grand can arrange to have an organization&#8217;s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Tax Exempt application completed and directlhy submitted to the IRS, making the whole process painless. Many times paperwork like this through an attorney or incorporation service can cost several thousand dollars. Ocean Grand&#8217;s founder Scott Michael Ringo commented, We want to help remove the challenges a nonprofit organization faces when just starting out. Many people have great ideas and hearts for nonprofit work but the challenges of getting the organization in place and learning to find funding keeps many of them from going forward. We enjoy seeing nonprofits become successful right out of the gate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-669" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="genie" src="http://oceangrand.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/genie-181x300.jpg" alt="genie" width="181" height="300" />Your Wish is Granted</h2>
<p><strong>Genie:</strong>&#8220;I have now done the hard part by granting your wish.Â  Now you only need to follow through with the commitment you made to see your wish completed.&#8221;</p>
<h4>Hey Wait, Where Is My Wish?</h4>
<p>Like everyone throughout time who ever had a wish, your wish, now granted, lives deep inside you.Â  The minute you clicked the link to have your wish granted it became alive in you.Â  Your wish, which is now alive, gives you the power, passion and commitment to make that wish turn into a reality.Â  Read on and I will help you find your granted wish.</p>
<p>As I said before, I talk to people on email, Twitter, and the phone every day that have a wish to make the world a better place and help others just like you do.Â  You would not have clicked on the link to have your wish granted if you really did not secretly hope that your wish could be granted.Â  Hundreds of thousands of people all over the world have that same hope that their wish could come true.Â  However, unlike the largest percentage of them who have not taken a step toward believing they could have their wish, you took the first step by clicking the &#8220;Grant My Wish&#8221; link.Â  Now that you have taken a step farther than most, it is your choice whether that wish actually happens or not.Â  We have made making your wish a reality in the easiest steps we know.Â  Ocean Grand has put together an easy step-by-step process to turn that wish that now lives inside you into the biggest reality you have ever dreamed of.Â  Through the easy steps below you can rise above the hundreds of thousands who only wish the world was a better place.Â  You can actually change it.</p>
<h4>Step 1- Write Down Your Wish</h4>
<p>Now that you know what your wish is, write it down so you can act on it immediately.Â  The wish you have is most likely the most exciting thing you will ever do with your life.Â  A large majority of the world work at jobs they hate, attempt hobbies they could never be good at, and live their whole life wishing they could do something significant.Â  By deciding to make your wish a reality, you will be able do something most of the world only dreams about.Â  The good news is it does not have to be hard or expensive and by following a few directions you can be on your way to making it happen today.Â  If for some reason youâ€™re not sure the wish you wished for is the right one, we are granting you a &#8220;do over&#8221;.Â  Follow the steps below to discover what your wish should be.</p>
<ol>
<li>If unrestricted by time, money, resources, or skills and you could do anything, help anyone, and make the world a better place, what would you do and how would you do it?</li>
<li>What are the 20 things in life you most enjoy doing?</li>
<li>What are the things that come naturally that you do to help people?</li>
<li>What do you love doing for hours at a time that the time flies when your doing it?</li>
</ol>
<h4>Step 2- Start A NonProfit</h4>
<p>It will be difficult to make your wish a reality without a business or nonprofit structure in which to work from.Â  One of the best and easiest ways to accomplish the business structure is by setting up a quick nonprofit organization.Â  We have put together the easiest and least expensive way to do that by starting a quick nonprofit here <a href="http://www.oceangrand.org/start-501c3" title="http://www.oceangrand.org/start-501c3" class="autohyperlink" target="_blank">www.oceangrand.org/start-501c3</a>.</p>
<h4>Step 3- Develop Your Funding</h4>
<p>Developing funding does not have to be hard, in fact, it can be quite easy.Â  We have put together several step-by-step ways to make sure fund raising is not difficult.Â  In addition, we will be available to help you through every step of the process. It does not have to be hard but there are some simple ways to go about doing it and some difficult ones. The first guide you should read is <a href="http://oceangrand.org/a-simple-fundraising-formula/" title="http://oceangrand.org/a-simple-fundraising-formula/" class="autohyperlink" target="_blank">oceangrand.org/a-simple-fundraising-formula/</a> and follow that step by step; you will be on your way to getting the funds you need.</p>
<h4>Step 6- Build Your Wish</h4>
<p>Once you have your organization in place from step 1 and some funding in place from step 2 you are ready to see that wish the genie granted materialize right before your eyes.Â  Remember, Ocean Grand will be with you every step of the way to help, support, encourage and give you ideas.Â  This web site <a href="http://www.oceangrand.org" title="http://www.oceangrand.org" class="autohyperlink" target="_blank">www.oceangrand.org</a> is an excellent resource that will keep giving you ideas and motivation to make your nonprofit a success.</p>
<h4>Your Wish Is Granted</h4>
<p>Believe it or not, this can be the first day in your life that will bring it more meaning and joy than you ever imagined possible.Â  The question is &#8220;Will you settle like the majority of the world that believes wishes never come true, or will you let the wish that now lives inside you grow and prove them wrong?&#8221;Â  Many who read this will decide that today they are going to embark on a journey they have always wished they could.Â  Others will sullenly go back to doing what they always have done and most likely come to the end of their life with nothing significant to show for it.Â  The choice is yours and only yours.Â  Should you decide that you want grab your granted wish and live it, we at Ocean Grand are standing by to help you make it a reality.Â  If your wish is really focused on helping others today, you have the opportunity to become &#8220;the genie&#8221; yourself, granting wishes to those that need your help.</p>

<p>Take a minute and leave a comment below documenting to your decision and what your wish is.Â  That way you won&#8217;t forget the day that a genie granted your wish.</p>
