What would you do if you had $10 million in the bank?

Roatan
10 Million would be great. One dream I have would require a lot less.

There is an Island of the coast of Honduras. Roatan is surrounded by the world's second largest coral reef. I would buy some beachfront property (It's very affordable) and then build a small resort. It would be a prime destination for sport fishing, scuba diving and relaxation. It would have party rooms and medidation / yoga rooms. I would build small, one person, chambers where you enter and enjoy the sounds of slience, or take a Hemi Sync style, guided meditation, laying on a temprature nutrual water mattress, in total darkness. <personal note, I have sometimes put on a sleep mask and streached out in a dark room and then used a guided meditation recording and a short time later, my minds eye would open and I could "see" clearly, even though I'm in as much darkness as I can create. Perhaps this is what remote viewing is all about?>

I would provide first class treatment for my guests. They would come from all over the world and pay well for their experience at the resort.

Now for the best part...

I would take the profits earned from this resort and turn them back to the mainland of Honduras. With the profits I would:

  • Drill water wells so people can actually drink fresh water
  • Install solar arrays, so people can have light after dark
  • Build a school and keep kids in it and out of the work force. Kids in Honduras get a 6th grade, sub standard education and that's it.
  • I would create mico and macro businesses, where the locals can contribute to the resort, things like fresh fruits and veggies, coffee beans, hand made bedspreads the guests could take home with them and more.
  • Fund the start up of small businesses on the mainland
  • Sponsor a kids education.
  • Open Trade Schools so kids can learn valuable skills. Honduras has very firtile soil and plenty of timber. Farming and carpentry could be taught.
  • The list is endless.
That's what I would do. I once saw a waterfrount B&B for sale that could host 8-10 guests. It was priced at $110,000.00.

Anybody got 10 million dollars they don't know what to do with?

How great that you have such a focused and well thought out idea of how you'd spend this money…you are half way through a business plan!  This world would be a better place if this is manifested.  Keep your focus, so I can be one of your first guests!

Thanks Rachel

The dream is very complete. Since the hurricane of 1998, the government of Honduras has been offering all kinds of advantages to attract new business, such as no taxation for the first 10 years of operation. The island was spared during the hurricane. Most of the damage was done to the east coast. Pineapple and Banana plantations were wiped out.

It's a free and democratic nation that just needs a bit of help. Roatan is their little diamond that very few people even knows exists.

I'll be happy to have you as my first guest. We just need to build the B&B first!…

and buy a dive boat
and buy a fishing boat
and build a yoga / meditation room - or have it on the shore line :-)

Kids go blind in Honduras for lack of Vitamin A. Such a simple solution to a horrible problem. You don't get much Vitamin A from rice and beans. The fathers who work in the pineapple fields can't afford to buy what they harvest. There's something really wrong with that…
