Crowdsourcing in Practice: Making It Work and Profitable
I just love the story of Nathan Eagle and txtEagle so much, that I’d be doing you and yours truly a disservice if I don’t post a followup.
Check out this video on crowd-sourcing by Nathan Eagle:
We posted about txtEagle recently here Nathan Eagle, explains his extraordinary story, and, the extraordinary story of how our world is being transformed by mobile communications. Nathan’s personal fascination is the African continent he talks about how Mpesa and SMS Media are transforming society. 30% of Rawandians pay for their electricity by the mobile device, and many more water pumps can be bought as they can be bought via the mobile. And he then goes onto talk about his company txtEagle.
How About Solving The Poverty Problem in A Brilliant Way?
Many of us are thinking of how to end world poverty as we know it. Especially for people living in poor or developing countries such as Indonesia (like me), where we can see it everyday.
Nathan Eagle and his company TxtEagle managed to solve the poverty problem in a very elegant and direct way.
Quote from The future of work=TxtEagle | SMLXL – Engagement Marketing and Communication principles from Alan Moore :
The thought also came to me that this grassroots approach to tackling poverty, to help lift populations out of poverty by making small but dramatic changes in wage income should both enervate and inspire us all. Txteagle has a fascinating story, and often its the smallest things that can inspire us to do something remarkable.

He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!
Mario Teguh Golden Ways Notes #1
Jadilah pribadi yg terlalu mulia untuk ditaruh di zona tidak nyaman (contoh: miskin, bodoh)
Jika Anda ingin menjadi pribadi yg menarik maka jadilah pribadi yg tertarik kepada org lain
Berdamailah dengan yg sudah terjadi, tugas kita adalah menjadikan besok tidak lebih buruk dari yang sudah terjadi
Untuk tau kita benar ato salah, cek dengan org lain, sehingga tidak ada over conception (apaan sih ini?)
Contoh: kamu bicara dgn org ndeso yg ga bisa baca tulis dgn bhs inggris, jd org itu ga bs ngerti apa yg kmu sampaikan
Hanya org2 yg direncanakan naik yg mendapat gangguan turun
Contoh: kmu naik pangkat jd manager, jd smakin tajir, tpi jadi hoby clubbing
Pinjam Tangan Multifungsi: Gratis!!!
Baru baca sebagian buku “Kun Fayakun” karangan Ustadz Yusuf Mansur, gara2 dipinjami sebentar oleh bapak pemilik Warteg.
Ada satu bagian yang sangat menyentuh hati saya, di halaman 108.
Diceritakan bahwa kita tidak memiliki apa-apa. Mata bukan milik kita. Begitu pula tangan, hati, semua bagian tubuh dan juga harta yang kita miliki.
Oh, jadi sedih, kalo bibir pinjaman ini, mencium bibir lain yang kebetulan dipinjamkan ke seorang wanita, yang kebetulan wanita tersebut belum dihalalkan bagi saya. Sedih juga, kalo mata pinjaman ini, melihat hal-hal yang tidak dihalalkan bagi mata “saya”.

Top 9 Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneurs
Parama W. Danoesubroto, a friend of mine, recently shared a bit of his vast business-savviness. It’s great enough that I’d like to share it here, both with my future self and with you the cool person (yes! YOU) who read this blog. Extra-gladly he’s willing to license his ideas as Creative Commons (oh so geeky!).
So, from this point below it’ll be his words, not mine:
Here’s what I’ve learned if I wanted to keep on continuing to be an entrepreneur.
These are just my values that I keep for myself. This might not apply or be true to other people.
