A begging bowl symbolizes a monk's dependence on others. Few nonprofits practice poverty like monks. But begging has been institutionalized in the form of reliance on charitable giving instead of self sustaining entrepreneurial economic strategies. The begging bowl does not solve societal problems: it compounds them. We need to crush the begging bowl-to find alternate ways of meeting the challenges nonprofits confront. In Crushing the Begging Bowl, nonprofit chief executive Dom Betro and academics John Thomas and Gary Chartier explain how one organization transformed itself and became self-sustaining and financially secure. They invite readers to join an exciting movement committed to empowering nonprofits by enabling them to think like for-profit businesses. "Dom Betro and his team at FSA are the most enterprising organization I have ever seen. They address every societal problem through the lens of possibility and unstoppable creativity. From revenue generating strategies and disruptive partnerships to capital leveraging approaches, they are focused on the pursuit of their mission and achieving big results to what often feel like intractable social problems. This is the model of a twenty-first century social sector organization for others to learn from and emulate." -Susan N. Dreyfus, President and Chief Executive Officer Alliance for Strong Families and Communities "The whole notion of 'non-profit' has led too many organizations to ignore the importance of well-funded infrastructures to assure quality services and even to ignore the potential for embracing commercial activities to serve altruistic missions. The concepts and examples in this book demonstrate how social enterprise initiatives can empower nonprofit mission while assuring financial sustainability." -Thomas Harvey, Director Emeritus, Nonprofit Excellence Program, University of Notre Dame "Crushing the Begging Bowl is a valuable and creative vision of how social enterprise skills help social service agencies model positive behavior for its clients, while teaching how challenges can be turned into opportunities, so that valuable social services are provided in today's complex world." -Reverend Monsignor Alfred P. LoPinto, Executive Director Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens

When John Ira Thomas was nine years old, he drew a picture at his only visit to Sunday school that resulted in him being asked not to come back. A New Age magazine called TIRE picked up on it and told the world that this picture had meaning. TIRE's readers then proceeded to make John's life a living hell for years. In 2000, he was given an opportunity to have his say in the final issue of TIRE (before it reverted to the tire industry magazine it once had been). Twenty years later, John was mailed an office chair and a set of clues that led him to create one more issue of TIRE. And this is it.

The Egg Solid Theory is a metaphor that separates those that are committed to working really hard to achieve their success and those that are interested in looking successful while mining for shortcuts in life. When you enter a space and see that there are two eggs lying on the counter across the room. Are you able to tell which egg was boiled and which egg was taken directly out of the carton without holding or getting really close to them? The boiled egg represents someone that has worked really hard to achieve their goals. The boiled egg has been placed on a stove and has been under fire for 12-15 minutes in order to become solid. The fire represents going through life's ups and downs. Not everything will go your way in life. When you're trying to get to the next level, you will hear the word no way more times than you hear the word yes. You will have a few cracks, some bruises, but if you're really focused on achieving your goals, especially the ones that are aligned with your passion, then you have no choice but to keep going. The other egg that was pulled directly out of the carton symbolizes someone that looks for shortcuts in order to achieve his or her goals. They haven't been through anything. They may have been born with a silver spoon and not required to do much growing up or they are the type to expect handouts in life. If they try something and it doesn't work, give up and quit. They complain that nobody supports or helps them to achieve their goals.I believe all kids have a desire to become successful in life. But how? First, we must define what success means to us. What is success? Is it money? Is it cars & homes? Is it love? Is it peace? What is it? Once you define what success means to you, then you must design a blueprint for you to follow in order to achieve your success. I will lay out eight (8) steps in this book that will help you create a strong foundation for success in your life. I will also share personal examples and never before heard stories of when I had to use each of these steps along my 30-year journey as the CEO & Founder of The 411 Brand Inc.
