What exactly is a Co-op? What's the difference between a co-op and a corporation? http://ormus.net/ormus_coop_pages/What_is_It.html#Anchor-Why-49575 --The equitable distribution of wealth and responsibilities is the fundamental goal of a Co-op. The "few" do not become rich at the expense of the "many." Bear in mind however, that keeping costs down, through bulk orders alone, will not sustain the Coop; neither will it achieve the goal of equitable distribution. Educating the children and the surrounding neighborhood, in the ways and practice of right-livelihood is of primary concern. Without education, the social fruits of Co-op structures will wither and die. Neither will the Seeds of Co-op germinate without the waters of compassion and a genuine longing towards giving and sharing. The Joy of giving and sharing will engender trust. But, someone has to make the gesture in advance of others. From that web-of-trust, communities are born. When community leaders understand and trust in natural order of life, tribes become sovereign nations and the people live in peace and prosperity. A Cooperative is so much more than a business structure~ it is a way-of-life. A cooperative is made up of a community people intent on achieving a common goal, a goal that benefits all members, both the majority and the minority alike. A Co-op is based on democratic principals. Co-op Members must realize however, that a democracy's principal responsibility is that it endeavors protect the rights of the minorities within that democracy. This can only be achieved through tolerance of differing belief systems and cultural mores; along with an equitable distribution of wealth and resources. The Charter Members are the founding members of the Co-op. They take-on the initial risks and responsibilities of the startup process. Like any other business or garden, someone has to do the dirty work in the early stages of development and bear the initial risk of investing time, energy and seed. The people who use the cooperative own the cooperative. The member owners, not outside investors are the people who profit from the cooperative's earnings. The charter members are the brave few who take that calculated risk. A good co-op leader should find a way to spread the risk so that the burden of the startup to individual can be reduced. This is achieved by identifying a demand from a worthwhile product and preparing a good business model. The business model (and business plan) should explain how to source and deliver that commodity in short order, so that the Co-op can show a profit in early stages rather than later. Credibility is earned, not learned. Anyone who has lived and worked within a legally formed cooperative business structure knows, that the ground-breaking process is always the most difficult. It's much the same as taking a wild or abandoned field and preparing it for planting. First the weeds and fields must be cleared (doubts and objections that arise, due to ignorance of the process). Then the hard-packed soil must be broken and tilled into a soft loam (old agri-biz models must give way to biodynamic and sustainable, permaculture models). http://ormus.net/ormus_coop_pages/What_is_It.html#Anchor-Why-49575
