The Mission

Donkey and Rocks — Wed, 09 May 2012 21:40:15 +0000

The Donkey and Rocks Mission is to introduce you to today’s trailblazers and provocateurs whose concepts and adventures will change you.

The Donkey and Rocks Mission is to convince you that NOT having a college education or NOT being born wealthy does NOT exclude you from creating a viable business or movement.

The Donkey and Rocks Mission is to give you an alternative to all the “pyramid-get rich quick schemes” and introduce you to valuable solutions that will fuel your mission.

The Donkey and Rocks Mission is to convince you that listening to experienced people with proven success is like going to college for FREE and enables you to immediately help others.

The Donkey and Rocks Mission is to help improve the economic situation for the poor and working class by infecting them with the passion for business. If “Necessity is the mother of all invention” and you live in a community with great needs you could be sitting on a great opportunity.
