Creating a resource base from which to work from

It is possible to promote our business or look for business, as we all know, in many ways. When you scroll through the Internet on a given topic, read the articles, the thing I see would be the the power of knowledge that has not been linked. You have a lot of businesses and individuals sharing knowledge on the given topic but wouldn't it be nice if you could combine that resource to learn and grow and expand your business or personnel potential to a fuller extent. Look up an association that has similar associations in other states, provinces or countries and all of them have creativity, knowledge, loads of education, failure and success stories. Combine techniques and knowledge on the success and failures of the organizations or groups, what I mean is there are so many people sharing and educating throughout the world that it would be impossible for us or our businesses to grasp knowledge on every topic on a given subject. It would be like studying for a high school or college exam getting 90% plus which is good but what happens to the other 10%. If we allow the 10% to go by without researching what had been missed or forgotten every time we wrote an exam and missed being perfect by the 10%, the knowledge base lost would add up very quickly. For the rednecks(blue collar worker) that are saying "yeah but I'm not in school what does this have to do with me?" put it in terms of someone just having shared some knowledge with you but you only allowed 70-80% of the knowledge to sink in. What happened to the rest and what did you miss? Corkboot.com wants to combine this knowledge and allow everyone an opportunity to grow and expand and showcase their talents. Some people have said to me in the past few weeks that if I share my knowledge I will lose some of my business. The world is a very big place, look at your area of origin, how many cities are in your state, province or county? How many people reside there? How many businesses unrelated to yours operate there? How many government or municipal offices, schools, malls? The list goes on! How many people do we need to purchase our products for us to be truly happy and content? The world is a place of endless opportunity and wisdom. Share a little, gain a lot. Remember, take a tree not a forest.
