San Diego Entrepreneur Raises $38,675 for Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund in Only 3 Days by Selling Apples and Snickers

    /24-7PressRelease/ - SAN DIEGO, CA, September 15, 2005 - San Diego County resident, Randall Blaum, President and Owner of Marketing Experts International raised over $38,000 this past weekend while attending an event at the Wyndham Hotel at Emerald Plaza by developing, building, and incorporating a new business inside a 3-day business-building seminar.

Mr. Blaum, a team member that helped produce the Cracking the Millionaire Code Experiential Game for New York Times #1 best-selling authors Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen, literally built a business overnight and launched it inside of Mr. Allen's and Mr. Hansen's wealth-building Cracking the Millionaire Code boot camp. During the three days of the boot camp Blaum used proven business building strategies to create thousands of dollars in donations for Katrina relief.

As part of Blaum's responsibilities during the Experiential Game he was to teach attendees how to market themselves so that they can generate more revenue for their business no matter how much they have to start with. Using the proven methods and strategies he teaches in his Hollywood Marketing System, Mr. Blaum started with $27.00, a piece of paper and a pen. He bought some fruit and snacks for the attendees, made a sign and opened for business.

As the marketing for his new "business" grew, people were informed that all the money from his "business" was being donated to charities. People began paying $500 for a Snickers bar, $100 for a piece of fruit, and $10 for other snacks. Many people donated singles, fives, tens and more to support the cause. Blaum accepted checks, cash and credit cards to make it as easy as possible for people to donate.

On the second day of the event three attendees pledged a total of $35,000 to support the Katrina Relief effort in exchange for some Wheat Thins and some Starbursts.

"The entire Cracking the Millionaire Code Experiential Game team, led by Clinton Swaine, creator of the Millionaire's Market, helped to create this success," Blaum said. "At every station in the game the team was supporting my efforts and together we proved that a miracle can be created from a simple idea, if you have the desire and take action. Special thanks must be given to Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen for bringing together such an enlightened group of people and that they opened their hearts and their wallets for such a worthy cause is truly a miracle."

Randall Blaum is a prot g of The Enlightened Millionaire's Institute and used all of the experience he's acquired from Mr. Allen and Mr. Hansen to help create his business idea and turn it into an abundance of donations.
