It’s Been a While!

Deer Pioneer,

It feels like forever since our last Blog post. We owe you an apology for the unsettling silence, and plan to keep this up to date with our exciting progress from now on!

Despite the inactivity here, we’ve been hard at work on all fronts of the Narconia dream for a more open, accountable, and affordable way to spur innovative collaboration online.

We’ve gained some key team players, solidified plans to offer our services in the UK, and finished a private test beta version 1.0 of our platform. The programming brilliance and patience of Qais Alkurdi from Professional Consulting LLC. deserves honorable mention and has netted the consulting company a well deserved portion of Narconia Inc’s outstanding shares.

We’re currently reviewing our legal process to better protect, not just us, but primarily future users like yourself from harmful or fraudulent activity in a way that is fast, affordable, fair, easy to use, and easy to understand.

Our marketing director, Jessica Hall, and her team have just begun a branding & design overhaul with the creation of a new Narconia logo. Stay tuned over the next month as the site dawns a new look for US and UK visitors alike.

You can request an invitation to check out the test beta by signing up with your e-mail in the footer below, or by visiting and completing this short e-form.

Sincerely,

The Narconia Team

Coming Soon…

From the inception of Narconia, there have been lots of questions and one important thing to note is that we have lots of questions too! Narconia is really a collaboration and we need users to tell us what they think, so we want to keep you updated on some new features and changes you can expect in the coming months.

Expect to see some video updates and mini-promos to help answer any questions you have about our model and how we operate.

Expect to see that we are launching a cleaner, more user-friendly design and interface and will need user feedback to know what you love and hate about the new site.

As we move into the new year you’ll be amazed at what we are putting together for the Work Zone area of the site, it will allow our users to fully manage teams and collaborate through a crisp web interface.

Finally, we are pushing forward and working to actively form strong strategic partnerships that will help our users make their dreams a reality!

Special thanks to Qais Alkurdi and Chris Martin, our web development team for working so hard on our site development and design! Can’t wait to show the community what we’ve come up with.

Happy Creating,
- The Narconia Team

It’s easy for us to talk wonders of the future of open collaboration and invention help from a community, but let’s see what some world-renowned speakers think.
Take your pick and enjoy. =)

Ownership vs Employment

Few people seem to understand the value of ownership over employment until they no longer have a job. Being an owner in America means freedom. Contrary to popular belief, however, you do have a boss when you become self employed. Your boss is the end user of your business or invention.

A certain Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak scrounged together $1,750 to start Apple Computers in 1976.  Through the prospecting of opportunity, hard work, and dedication, only 4 years later when Apple became a public company, Jobs possessed 7.5 million shares (217 million dollars); “Woz” was assigned four million sares (116 million dollars). Markkula’s share of seven million shares was worth 203 million.

Quite a nice return if you ask me. Owning only about 12% of his 1.8 Billion dollar business in the time it takes your average student to get a college degree had Jobs set for life!

US Unemployment Trend

US Unemployment Trend

With global unemployment at staggering highs and wealth inequality following suit, counting on others for a steady salary is becoming more and more unsure.

Average retirement age in the US is 67 and early retirement average is at 62.

How do you want to spend the rest of your life? Working hard without a guarantee that your job will be there tomorrow, or working hard without a guarantee that your passion will generate future value?

Work with other people who are autonomous and enthusiastic about your work, and only time will tell for sure. Odds are, however, that if many people are interested in your project, you’re sitting on a golden egg.

Love your role, own your effort, and help improve peoples’ lives. The reward will follow.

Happy Creating,

A Dedication to Occupy Wall Street

Civilization: A human society that has highly developed material and spiritual resources and a complex cultural, political, and legal organization; an advanced state in social development.

No one fully understands the abstract and complex workings of a civilization. However, the benefit to ALL is clear and measurable.

The desire to hog resources stems from an emotional, animal-like instinct to survive. The greater intellect of the human race has proven time and again that there is a direct benefit for doing exactly the opposite.

It took miners, ceramic experts, plumbers, construction workers, politicians, bankers, investors, chemical engineers, industrial engineers, and many others to form the basic luxury of taking a dump inside your home! It took the happiness, intelligence, and safety of their parents, friends, and community to educate and inspire them to build that difference together. Could we have birthed GOOG, AAPL, IBM, XOM, or any other US opportunities without a happy society? What does the future have in store? If you think your life is as good as it gets, join the huge list of ignorant people throughout history who mistakenly thought the same.

Belittling and even worse, prohibiting a person’s struggle based on your opinion is exactly how civilizations break down and empires fall.

Wise up 1%! You need the 99% to keep our country on top. Re-invest in the society that provided you with opportunity.  Let capital flow again.  Right now!

Or you can wait till we know less, have less, and you’re losing your fortune to China. It’s then that you’ll understand the benefit of a happy society to your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, but that’s exactly when it’ll be too late.

I, Robby Roufail, support the grievances portrayed by Occupy Wall Street.
