Do you have a Dream? Make it Real with a Team! This is the “Mantra” of people offering participation in a new website called www.Team-Dreams.com The concept is not new – we all know how ‘many hands make lighter work’, but how often do we really reach out for connections in true Win-Win ways?
Oh sure, when we’re beaten down or overwhelmed, we turn to our friends and get help loading our U-Hauls for a move after a job loss or divorce. But if we rely on people in those tough circumstances, why not more often in regular life? And where’s the “win” for your friends helping you when life’s a mess? Yes they get good karma points and social feel-goods, but what if you shared with friends to own a vacation home together and lifted your spirits and your financial net worth in creative teamwork ways? This is what www.Team-Dreams.com is all about.
The premise is simple; creating templates and platforms whereby people can connect and team up for “joint venture fun investments”. Here you can learn how you “Don’t have to be a Millionaire to live like one!” And this is not all about money – the real return on your investment are things like: more quality time with people you care about, better health and vitality, less stress, better relationships and even spiritual growth. Oh yeah, and don’t forget the Green & Sustainable aspects of sharing homes also!
Most people have had this idea before -it’s a kids dream really. Remember when you had your little Clubhouse or Treehouse? You and your friends had a place to be yourselves – away from home or school – usually out in nature – and what memories we all have from those joyful days!
So why not lift that idea into the present with teamwork? Given that most Americans get maybe 2 – 6 weeks of vacation a year, and how most vacation homes sit empty, the perfect solution is to SHARE these homes somehow. But most people only think of the extremes of an individual vacation home of their own ( out of reach for many these days ) or the corporate-rigged game of a “Time-Share” leased condo for a week or so… With Team-Dreams, another slogan is “Why Time-Share when you can Team-Share?”
With five to seven other friends ( or strangers who become friends ) it’s easy to own a place in the mountains or near the beach – in some exotic locale you love or 100 miles from your hometown – for weekends or longer escapes! On the website your dream is marked with a Google Maps view so you could zoom in to even SEE your potential Dream Vacation home! It’s still in a Beta phase so be patient as the bugs get worked out…
So why not team up for enjoyment? Just like when moving; you could drag a desk or bed by yourself or with a partner, but you might break it or pull a muscle. With five or six you do it easily and have more fun! And the risk of pulled muscles, both physically and financially, drops way down. The Team-Dreams concept is not limited to homes, as there are many other Dreams to network on as well, from creating music, art, businesses, marketing a screenplay or whatever your dreams may be – but using REAL estate – with more solid values and appraisals – is an easier place to start and creates fun and wealth too.
This concept should do especially well in this current economic environment. People are scared, worried, hesitant and stunned from our 08-09 meltdown, which is the biggest economic downturn in most people’s lives going back 75- 80 years! And one of the best little aspects of this currently little known website is the fact that they promote green energy and sustainability in all it’s forms – from recycling and solar to even trickling rental income to worthy non-profits, building community goodwill, with a”1% for the Planet” like pay-it-forward option. These are times that require more imagination than ever before. And more teamwork.
There are some good things about the required changes we, as a global society and shifting culture, will need to make to survive this current crisis. Remember those tiny horse-like mammals that danced around in the bushes at the feet of the Dinosaurs at the end of another famous era? Well, sites like www.Team-Dreams.com may well be the face of the future where we learn to live more in harmony and share more of our resources and our life skills to create a better world for all… We’re going to have to reduce our impact on this planet and find ways to de-stress and evolve into a more harmonious society of human beings – not crazy drunken monkeys in fast cars with shiny toys… or else? I like the idea of shared ownership. I don’t have to OWN everything, I just need access to it. The world is a different place with Libraries and other sharing systems, and if we can’t share a vacation home – what CAN we share? Think about it.
Ask yourself – why not? There’s even a “Reward” for posting up your Dream. If you post a Dream that becomes reality – you earn $1000 even if you don’t choose to join the team dream you started. The focus is on the People- Planet Connection. So you might win-win even if you don’t join in. Check it out and hey – there’s no harm in Dreaming! Do YOU have a Dream? Make it Real with a Team!
