Peppy Square

With the renewed interest in crochet, brought about because of its use in fashionable ready-to-wear, and the evergreen interest in anything antique, vintage, or nostalgic, – most commonly seen in the patchwork quilting phenomenon – there has also come a growing interest in crochet in general, and the making of rugs, shawls, throws, etc. in the style commonly called  ‘Granny Square Crochet’.

This much-loved style of crochet is arguably the most universally recognized crochet motif around the world.  Its popularity stems from the facts that it is made from basic stitches and is therefore quick and easy, it is small, easily portable, fast, and uses up bits of yarn left over from other projects.  When the motifs are joined the end result is a very useful, colorful and cosy article which looks and feels very special and yet was both easy and very cost effective to produce.

Adapted from the much finer and more complex crochet patterns brought by the early European settlers to the new world, which of course were also time-consuming, granny square crochet became the more practical and useful expression of crochet at a time when practicality and usefulness were much more necessary to everyday life, and indeed survival, than fine and intricate beauty was.

Now don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying that granny square crochet is not beautiful, because it most certainly does have a beauty all its own.  With its wonderful colors, patterns and textures it has aesthetic beauty, but it also has an ethereal beauty, too, or ‘soul’ – the ability to touch our hearts, perhaps because it connects us with the ‘humanness’ of the ones who made it, and also because it is so practical.  Granny square rugs, shawls and throws are ‘comfort’ articles.  They are also very satisfying to make.

If you have not yet tackled a crochet project – maybe because you aren’t sure what to do – then granny square crochet can be the very best way to start, once you know your first basic stitches.  The fabulous thing about granny square crochet for a beginner is that each square is quite small and therefore easy to get done, so that you can just crochet one here and there whenever you have any odd bits of time.  It really won’t take long at all before you have enough to put together to make something.  I have seen them used to make cushion covers, doll’s blankets, and even pot holders, so you see there are useful and pretty things you can do with only a very small number of squares, or even just two!

So, is appears that this isn’t all just hype, but appears to be a legitimized MLM opportunity arising and there’s indeed some substance behind the buzz.

The Trump MLM Network sure has made a large splash in MLM. The secret is out. Owner Donald Trump has launched a new internet promotion project. He’s behind it 110%. But I’m sure you are wondering : what made Trump wish to get into MLM ?

When I originally heard that Donald Trump was launching an internet marketing company, frankly I was not surprised. I actually marvelled what had taken him so long. He’d already ventured into the web business world with Trump University his virtual business faculty.

the fact that I was not stunned he had made the move to make the Trump MLM Network was his appearance on a late night talk show many years ago. At the time I was involved in a network marketing company and happened to be watching TV. The host of the show asked ‘the Donald’ what he would do if he lost all his money and had to start over again. He responded that he would find a good internet marketing company and get to work. This reply was met up with a chorus of boos from the spectators to which he answered ( as only he can ) ‘ Well that’s the reason why I’m up here and you are down there ! ‘

how the Trump MLM Network commenced starts four years ago when Donald Trump spoke at Madison Square Garden in the national convention of a company called ACN. For his appearance and speech, he was paid 1,000,000 greenbacks. A year later he was asked to speak again. Before accepting, he asked them why they wanted him to communicate again since he was just going to say the exact same thing as the year before. To this they responded that in one year they had growth unlike any they’d seen previously from the impact of that speech. He charged them 1.5 million bucks this time.

Donald decided that if he had that much impact in the business ( which he already thought well of ) he should become more involved. He also figured out that he could probably make a bunch of cash too if it was done properly.

Trump hooked up with all his operatives and discussed whether or not they should partner with an existing company, purchase it outright, or start their own. The decision was made to find an existing company. At the conclusion of an eighteen month search, the right company was found, Ideal Health – a 9 year old customized nourishment company headquartered in Boston. Six months later the terms were completed and on March fifth, 2009 a contract was signed and the Trump MLM Network was born.

In my next article, I’ll discuss why Donald Trump is so passionate about the Trump Network and why ‘It Must Succeed’.
