Wanted: Millionaire entrepreneurs, CEOs and business owners seeking high-adrenalin adventure travel experiences with like-minded individuals. To join Maverick Business Adventures they must also be willing to donate money and time to charities.
Consider the plight of successful entrepreneurs who can’t talk about their business problems with friends who are still working for salaries. Where are these millionaires going to network with peers, have some outrageous and adventurous experiences – and give part of their adventure travel trip fees to charity?
High Adrenalin Adventure Travel With Yank Silver's Maverick Business Adventures
Just tell them to contact Yank Silver, the mega-millionaire Internet Entrepreneur who started Maverick Business Adventures. He's an unabashed adrenalin junkie who has run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, did a HALO skydive from 28,500 feet, and signed up for the Virgin Galactic space flight. Members of the exclusive Maverick Business Adventures club intersperse high-octane experiences, such as Zero Gravity flights, racing dune buggies and snowkiting, with networking sessions where they exchange ideas with like-minded successful entrepreneurs and CEOs.
In Maverick Business Adventure's inaugural trip to Baja Mexico, in January, 2008, for example, the 24-paying guests went off-road adventure driving and surfing in between informal business-buildings sessions, where successes, skills, resources and knowledge were openly and candidly shared. They also shared entrepreneurial visions with 25 local college and high-school students during a “Young Entrepreneurs” gathering.
Throughout the year, adrenalin-charged trips are planned, such as the Maverick Winter Games, where guests will be racing down the bobsled run at Lake Placid, NY; and the Ultimate Maverick Viking Expedition, which includes snowkiting, snowmobiling and diving into the Silfra Ravine in Iceland. All trips include networking sessions, plus a chance to exchange ideas with a celebrity icon, whether it’s a football player-turned-entrepreneur who created a multi-million BBQ business, the X Prize founder Peter Diamandis, who launched the $10 million competition for the first private aircraft to shoot humans into space, or Mike Hill of Mymediabuyer.com, who talked about the advantages of risk-free trial offers. “Young Entrepreneurs” sessions with local youth are also planned.
Maverick Business Adventures Members Donate to Charities
Silver explains it was a way to group with like-minded successful entrepreneurs to share high-octane adventures and opportunities to give to charities. “Nearly all the successful people I know give back. It’s long been a rule in my previous companies that 5% of all gross revenues goes to charitable causes. And aside from our work with local students, Maverick Business Adventures will donate 5% of all gross revenues paid to the charities members help select,” says Silver.
Drew Kossoff, who went on the Baja trip, said giving back was a powerful part of the experience.“ I was thrilled to be among such an inspiring, thoughtful and supportive group of fellow entrepreneurs,. For me, it was proof that the upside of success is not only financial freedom, but personal happiness and the willingness to share and give back.”
