Believe it or not, The Next World began as an entertainment company in 2008/2009.  We organized group ski trips, camping trips, and even had a Reception WITHOUT a Wedding for 108 people.  The stories we can share are incredible.  The only problem was that the business model was wrong.  It was wrong because we had the wrong dream.  So, we moved forward...

 Then, we started the network of local businesses.  By supporting local businesses, people can save money on our events.  Our program helped us with a Turkey Trot Tour of South Side where we raised $2,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and sent a child to Disney World.  However, the model for scalability still wasn't right, so we moved forward.

We reached 10,000 people in the Network and started to offer products and services to participating businesses. Still, it was not right.  We were still trying new things and discovered that mimicking other companies only hurts you in the end .  So, we moved forward...

We would go out at 11pm to put up homemade signs advertising our company.  Due to our budget, this was the only way to get our name out to South Side.  My mom always said never scale a bridge just so your sign can be seen.  But that's where the fun is...

and Yes, we moved forward...

The new POS APP in preparation for August.  There are couple tweaks you won't be able to see until Phase 2, but you get the picture.

So what's next?  I guess the only thing left to do is to "_________ _________ _________."   

You better know our motto by now...
