It was an excellent evening last night.

Groundwork continuing as well as information sharing and collecting.

Many will know about mind maps . Starting with the basics and then how each branch develops a life within itself.

The basic branches have been identified.

The center is the "SP help HUB"

It consists of:

Bank
Education
Assistance
Job opportunities
Investments and savings

Please note each of these categories will be relevant to the challenges and solution finding for SP's. BUT, no reason not to be carried into other spaces and places once learnt. It is all about empowerment .

Like any endeavor that involves giving of or receiving of cash and goods of value, a strong vetting system will be put in place as well as audits.

That this is a space considered as taboo and illegal, it does not mean implementing systems within the framework of all things legal is not possible.

Exposure to information flow and educating oneself does create a critical thinker a solution finder and a better understanding of self and self worth.

There is never a wrong time to find out a little more about self and realise ones qualities and capabilities.

The main concern, i unserstand , because it shall be a space of SP and Punter is, discretion and privacy.

Again, there are existing frameworks and models within the corporate and commercial space that can be implemented in this space too.

At present, each person that has identified themselves comes with their specialized set of skills, experiences and "products" and are of great immeasurable value to building a sound foundation to a longterm sustainable solution for those who give of their self in the most intimate and personal of ways.

Real people with real lives and real life challenges.


Just like a mind map. We have started with the basics and much will stand in the way posing "why to continue ".

But

Why not???

Today there is another meeting .

Today again I thank YOU for coming fwd.

RB.

It is a colossal task. Some will label impossible.

And most things that are deemed to be colossal and impossible are much more daunting if one begins to run away with all the possibilities, good and bad and, the waters become merky.

Focus.
Groundwork.
Diligence and...the passion, unwavering passion and desire are difficult to beat into submission.

At all my meetings the "yay" is there.
At all my meetings the doubt is there.
At all my meetings I walk away, with the support and baby step buy-in from those i meet with, into what it is am hoping to bring life to.

One reads about the complaints from the Punters that punting is no longer what it used to be.

I can promise u, it is a gazillion times worse for the SP of this day and time.

While the punter looks for privacy and discretion and the best punt for his buck, I shall ask of all reading in to try ur very honest best to put urself in the shoes of a SP and think about their concerns and the ripple effect of such challenges in the SP's life.

There comes a time in everybodies life they may wish to move on. A change of whatever sort.

Much easier for those in the mainstream of society as opposed to SP's looking to broaden their horizons.

And that is the drive for this colossal task.

That even SP's can work their way back into the mainstream without judgement from others or being rebutted simply because they have been stuck with the label of "Prostitute ".

From the career "this is my job SP" , to those dipping into the industry to make "a quick buck fix" , to the "desperate and lost" who will do anything because they see no other way out....there is NOTHING wrong empowering oneself with opening oneself up to education and information flow, relevant and specific to u and the industry u occupy and having the choice to choose.

Education....Education is the key to any growth.
Here I am not talking about formal schooling only.

I am talking about the ins and outs of being a savy business person, provider and a critical thinker no matter the economic challenge or personal challenge one might face.

They say it takes a village to raise a child.

It never stops....this "raising" thing.

Purple be this "village" and time one starts understanding how each of us play a roll in the others life too.

"What can I do to make it better for u? What can i do to make it easier for me?"

I am labeled a Prostitute.

Do I go around glorious and proud of this title.

No.

But I will tell u why i am NOT ashamed being a Prostitute and then maybe, just maybe u will see me for who I really am.

A person of value who brings to the table much more than many many people in the mainstream of things.

Looking fwd to my zoom meetings next week, my emails and that mindmap taking shape.

It is a colossal task. I am up for it. My "mainstream " background affords me the tools and the network to put my shoulder to the grinding block and push!!!!

RB.

Many moons ago on request I made an xls sheet for an sp to help her project income/m by playing with price and anticipated traffic.
Nothing complex, just adding and subtracting things like room fees, consumables etc. A starting point for budgeting
Must stress it's not rocket science but she said she found it very useful.
If this entry level kind of thing could be useful to you, let me know and we chat on how to adjust it to your needs.
To get most from it basic xls skills helps.

@RB hope this is not too elementary for your plans. Maybe a case of baby steps

I will be horrendously fair with every one of you . Cunilinkiss I love what you referenced with respects XLS records. You realize it genuinely assists with writing things down particularly with respect Cash coming in and cash going out. I will be straightforward with you since I drafted down my succeed sheet, I rest longer hours around evening time and get my self a serene night rest. This doesn't mean I don't have monetary difficulties however it implies I turned out to be more mindful how I was doing cash and turned out to be more boldness to awaken the following day. It has assisted me with monitoring my late installments, and furthermore to stay true to my promise towards my late installment. This report has assisted me with esteeming my self ,to decide the pay I procure month to month/yearly as a specialist co-op. I started this occupation September, and presently is October, that makes 10 months now. From the outset when I began I needed to have a thought of how much the business was giving and how much bills it could pay, and what was it's bills . So I started to 1) open a business account initial, 2) I started recording appointments day to day. So when times went purchase , business challenges deterred me since certain days were so I didn't monitor my day to day appointments. When that were slow, so it seemed like I did no appointments for quite a long time , however fortunately to the booking record book I made it will reliably demonstrate that my feelings were misrepresenting. Then, at that point, starting there I understood the significance of booking records. I was then handing-off on a bank explanation to see what cash does month to month, everyday, yearly, till to a point at certain months I was unable to count on cash not any more because of that the pay coming in was not adequate, so as it comes it goes directly to a month to month charge rather than a ledger to keep away from bank charges. Yet, the was still a ton of disarray in my mind, despite the fact that bills were settled, there was no inspiration. I would in any case be worked out, alert and ready to go around evening time and focusing. The this demanding voice continued to irritate me, that I should gather all verification of installments, since I couldn't place monies in the bank constantly, and afterward this voice let me know I ought to make a succeed document that exhibits every one of my bills , on the grounds that to let you know all , you can't recall every one of your bills as a primary concern , and in light of the fact that I continued failing to remember a portion of this month to month charges at times, and I will get shock messages and message helping me to remember un-covered bills. Trust me you , you don't need that, since that will keep you alert focusing, who can say for sure what you will wind up doing , when distress call. I surmise for me, the main thing was to have the option to hear my self reasoning, was to have the option to rest around evening time, presently realizing my self that I Effectively retain others' energy's, I needed to put my self right with my monetary archive together to be content. Since can we just be real, not every person who comes visit a specialist co-ops is glad to remunerate her with the administrations she offers, subsequently all kind of things, with these sort of wrestles energy's can be anticipated , like short installment to the specialist organization, for example, taking back the monies they paid to a specialist co-op, the rundown continues forever and on. However, the point is generally, wrestles energy's like that would leave you feeling depleted and feeling lost. To return to follow, being roused, clear leaning and certain , these succeed report assumes a major part towards that, whenever done accurately, it might get you a rent arrangement in your name of cause surrendered that you back each and every sum referenced on your month to month use with a proof of installment, and furthermore given that you know how to talk with individuals how to argue your case and figure out your circumstance. I will take you through to how my month to month consumption report looks like on succeed, it probably won't be equivalent to yours in light of the fact that we have various bills , yet for me it was around 38 bills altogether . Not all I wanted to pay , however those I wanted to pay for the year 2022 I payed them effectively from the start of the year until to date, not every one of them were payable on the 01 of every month, as I did part installment on larger part of them , and as the month going to its furthest limit, I'm roused to pursue my month end charges once more, as a result of this report I see how I manage cash. My most memorable section was
1) Bill to: then, at that point, I will name the name of the bill and I have around 38 bill name in this report, for example, rentals, my business clothing, kids school charges, kids school trips, kids convey cash, business commercial, Rec center expenses
Yearly occasions, Telkom business landline family preparing, clothing accounts, business ad, even the littlest things, for example, duplicate, fax and print under one bill name thus significantly more , you understand your bills better compared to I do.
2) Second segment was Date and month. On this segment will record the dates I made installment towards the bill. Because of the slips I keep in a different report, will help me to remember these dates, and furthermore make the month to month use record significant and honest.
3) Third segment was
Fixed sum segment.
Here I will record the first add up to be taken care of to a bill month to month.
4) Fourth segment would be Sum covered to a bill.
This is the section that inspires me to complete my part installment of any bill before the fifteenth of every month. That is if obviously I was short with installment towards any bill at that specific month.
5) Firth Section
Is a month to month Colum where you make your January section till to December segment, mine starts at December 2021 when I started in the business till to date. In this segment you check each charge you figured out how to pay in that specific month and uncheck each charge you didn't figure out how to pay toward the finish of every month you compute your decent sum versus your sum covered towards the bill. Presently I think about what energizes me is my sum paid section is offset with my proper sum segment for a very long time at this point. Also, I should say that because of the EMS schoolwork's examples I provided for my Grade 9 student which is my child :-), they asked me to become familiar with the rudiments of counting. Without making this any muddled, it is not difficult to make this record for your self . How ever assuming you really need this archive request to bring harmony into your life , I might want to help given that you have every one of the receipts to reinforcement sum expressed on your month to month use report. To the anticipates out there assuming there was a way I can do this simpler than the manner in which I referenced here, if it's not too much trouble, let me know, for learning. Much obliged to you for this string, I trust somebody's life benefits from it. What's more, I trust business improves , on the grounds that the most recent two months business has been genuinely sluggish, and the pay has delayed down beyond a doubt, it's extremely difficult to work with it. Regulars has been so useful Which I'm exceptionally appreciative towards every one of them.
Cheerful making each one.

Greetings on this fine Sunday.

No.

It has not come to a halt.

A few thanks and apologies.

First the "ugly".

Profuse Apologies on not getting round to all of YOU who have shown interest in this endeavor.

I do hope I have not lost ur keen interest to know more and hopefully, u will still jump on board.

It has been hectic on all fronts and, as mentioned bfr one needs to crawl before one can walk. Plus my life has dealt its few challenges that needed to be addressed.

Then the "nice".

A huge thank u to the Gent who formulated guidelines to that "one pager" discussed. When reading something , a greater clarity takes place. It has been adjusted to fall within the framework of my original concept envisaged. THANK YOU.

By the way...I do like that acronym!



A huge thank u to the voicenotes of another who, too, understood the gist of this endeavor and reminded me what NOT to omit. THANK YOU .

In my update that clarity will be penned.

A huge thank u to ALL the offers extended and interest shown by Punters. THANK YOU.

I WILL be contacting u in this coming week.


Like all things....if the "heart" is not strong then the "body" will die.

The heart of this endeavor is the SP....and thus...if there is no buy in from the SP, that hub that hopefully shall be created for ur benefit to ease ur move into the mainstream of things should u choose, shall remain a pipedream.

The first call of port...maybe ?... is to succeed at Decriminalizing prostitution.

What has been done to show gvnt they should take SP's seriously?

And no...dont come at me and bite my head and say the onus is not on u...YES it is! Help urself so that others will gladly jump on board to help u too!

This sickness called "right of entitlement " is a pandemic bought by the lazy and the bane to self empowerment and longterm sustainable growth.

This could be that start to successful new paths mapped .

I have said bfr....the level of professionalism, education, grit, experience, wisdom, know-how, diligence and dedication is underestimated among SP's.

How to reign it in ?

I believe it can be done including too, that strong supportive backing from MANY a Punter.

A safe zone without judgement.

RB.

To those who might be interested in the GBV summit held yesterday and might have missed it.

That mention made way back in 2015 of Decriminalizing sex workers.

Once again under scrutiny and discussion.

Government needs to be brought around . It needs to be held accountable for false promises made .

Red tape and legislation is one thing. Relevant immediate solution finding is what is required to address the plummeting of a society under the scourge of rapists, murderers and a police under the "brim of a hat" useless mbeki Cele excuse of a minister of police .

What I think of the summit yesterday?

Best I keep quiet .

But.

Spurs me on even more to understand the process of decriminalization to the T.

Knowledge is power...and this sort of "power" makes me hungry.

A great good morning to the beautiful people of this fine Earth.

In the beginning I had the idea of updating this thread with all the ins and outs in the hope of making this concept a reality.

I thought it only fair to keep all abreast of challenges and developments.

But

Like anything that costs money, time, effort and the "price" of the goodwill of intellectual material which many have come together and shared to make this happen, new steps and ways have had to be implemented until the stage of registering the organisation is complete and succesful.

And if I tell u, those in the know of what is required for such a task, the amount of all of the above that has already been voluntarily given is worth more than all the money that was not asked for yet, was heartily shared.

A stage has been reached where an NDA is required to be signed by all who do come on broad and this is simply to safeguard the originality of the concept and what it stands for.

Monetary contributions toward the organisation will be requested and thus to ensure clear audits are in place and open to public scrutiny.

Once the the legalities are complete and in place then the more public this concept becomes, the greater the hope of mainstream and government buying into the concept hopefully tieing up with other existing organisation's calling for the first step to assisting SP's....Decriminalization.

It is the end of the year and many need a little bit of rest from all that has past. And then some will be facing the hardest many days of financial stress leading into the new year.

Strength and courage and NEVER believe it is the end and that there ain't no solution.

The Universe is a funny thing. It knows to hear .

Prosperous and successful Blessings to all.

Me.
