M.I.N.D.S. Introduction

This Research Initiative Will Ignite a Large Scale Effort to Address Income Inequality at the Grassroots Level
How? We Crowdfund Thousands of New Enterprises 100%
Owned By Workers... and this is just the beginning

Research Storyline

We’re living in the Information Revolution. Technology has made us more productive than ever, yet many workers are still living paycheck to paycheck. Why is that?

According to the Economic Policy Institute, productivity has increased by 86% since 1979, while wages have only grown by 32%. This disparity is a significant driver of today’s income inequality.

The solution does not lie in waiting for politicians or corporations to take action; it’s about worker ownership. When workers own what they help create, wealth increases for everyone, not just those at the top.

Research from Harvard indicates that families could potentially double or even quadruple their wealth with worker ownership.

This isn’t just theory; worker-owned businesses already exist. However, adoption has been minimal because the movement has relied too heavily on outdated top-down models, which have proven ineffective. Think about it. These old top-down models have been around since 1956. How many worker-owned organizations do you see today.

Solutions must emerge from the grassroots level, not from the top down. In other words, grassroots movements should lead the way, rather than corporations or government entities.

This is why we are launching a large- scale grassroots-led online collaboration to create, staff, and crowdfund new worker-owned enterprises from the ground up. These enterprises will be 100% owned by their workers, with no outside investors.

It is important to note that this project is NOT tied to any political movement, protest, charity, or street marches. This is purely a grassroots-led online collaboration focused on crowdfunding and business production to create new enterprises that are 100% owned by workers. We operate to a four-stage business and crowdfunding plan.

We introduce and field-test a new workplace compensation model called the Empowered Employee Compensation Model (EECM). This model replaces hourly wages and salaries with ten ownership-based income resources and benefits, with the potential to increase overall workplace income by at least threefold. We use this economic research to put this new model to the test.

Grassroots participants engage in operations professionally as part-time freelancers, working online within their fields of expertise or areas of professional interest. They have the opportunity to help test this new compensation model online part time while earning significant income as coaches, advisors, mentors, consultants or, in most cases, part time remote worker owners.

Over time, as operations expand and individuals choose worker ownership over traditional wages, conventional companies will be compelled to adapt. This is how we can shift the economy toward worker ownership and address the issue of income inequality from the ground up and deliver a new world of wealth and prosperity for future generations.

In summary, we effectively use this M.I.N.D.S. Economic Research hub to build an economic bridge leading the work force from the age old limitations of hourly wages and salary to a new world of worker-ownership and wealth. This is especially true for a future generations of workers as we use this platform to conduct the research to test and validate the models.

**Participate and Contribute Professionally:**As noted above, this grassroots-led effort is not tied to any political movement, protest, charity, or street marches. Instead, it's grassroots-led online collaboration focused on crowdfunding and business production directed toward creating new enterprises that are 100% owned by workers. Operations start online part time as we encourage professionals from all walks of life and professional disciplines to learn, engage, earn and growth their individual professional or business interest while helping to carryout our mission objective. If you are open to learning how you can contribute and earn, you can very easily get started part time online .
