"SBI walked us through the essential steps that allowed us to create, optimize, and enjoy the fruits of THE SAGE COMPANION QUARTERLY website. We learned how to implement proper SEO techniques and analyze traffic- but that’s not all!" Here is our story- in three steps:
Prelude: As mature older
adult years (fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth decades) we decided to
respond to the times. We objected to "sitting on the bench" and
recognized the time was here for a game changer. Something new was on the horizon - that being the
immense buying power of "boomers" and the impetus for a new vision of aging. Ah Yes! The time had come to get off that bench and energize a
creative outlet- something that could really be of value for a certain group of "edgier elders".
So
we set out to find the way to share our wisdom, generate profits from home and learn and prosper- and read these FREE eBooks.
Step One
Challenge: Present a New Vision of Aging to" tribes of talented individuals who are connected, mutually trustful and
supported by one another [and who] are in a position- create a movement, to
deliver items of value, to move ideas forward faster than any individual
ever could...."~ S. Godin
Plan: We weren't sure - but it seemed that if we were going to approach this challenge via social media, first, we would need software.
Hurdles: a) We totally are NOT techies. And that is for sure. You might say we are “slightly geeky.” <G> b) We have never done this before.
Step Two
The Journey: After doing the research, (READING THESE FREE EBOOKS) we chose to go ahead with this new venture-despite the challenges and regardless of age or physical abilities. We chose to learn how to design and develop an online magazine. And we selected and are utilizing the
SBI system.
SBI walked us through the essential steps that allowed us to create,
optimize, and enjoy the fruits of THE
SAGE COMPANION QUARTERLY website. We
learned how to implement proper SEO techniques and analyze traffic- but that’s
not all!
It has turned out to be everything we hoped it would be -and
more- and we continue to marvel at the magic we can make happen with these "wands." We are so pleased with the look and feel of this site! It continues to improve and that is easy for us to accomplish.(SEE OUR ENDORSEMENT BELOW)
Cost?? About $1/day
SBI eliminates barriers- freeing us to focus on building our eZine.We are excited about all this, but it does not repeal a fundamental law ...(Step Three)
Step Three
It takes time,
work and persistence to build a genuine, long-term opportunity with equity, and the ability to deliver VALUE.

Our mission is to engage, wisely- one-day-at-a time- to connect, in a mutually trustful place online and across social networks. So we determined to work with a persistent and sure approach, fueled by passion and steadied by patience the confidence of following a process that makes sense-
TO MOVE IDEAS FORWARD our team chose SBI process and tools
Just in this first year, we have created a positive aging support system that we believe can deliver items of value to our readers, and help to move ideas forward faster.

The Tortoise in the above graphic represents "every(wo)man" - S/he is smbollic of the time it takes to create change with compassion. It is not easy to dismiss aging stereotypes with wir and wisdom- to attract thought leaders across a wide variety of arenas- to provide original content-- the mission of The Sage Companion.
Steadily and surely, just like thar tortoise with attitude- eyes bright- posture optimistic and confident (but not over-confident) we progress. See those little wrinkles below the eyes? This is one hard-working, motivated, late-night shellback. S/he symbolizes the opposite “hare-brained” schemes. That does not mean this tortoise is slow- just deliberate and dedicated.
As connoisseurs of a culture of compassionate change the writers and contributors at The Sage Companion take our hats off to SBI.

FOR THE MATURE ENTREPRENEUR
You know what makes sense and what matters to you –what you are passionate about. The SBI system can help you turn that into your own unique content on your own unique outreach. What we appreciate so much is the You no-tech-skills-needed tools. These helped us execute a step-by-step process and build our age-friendly theme-based content eZine.
BUILDING A BUSINESS
Get rich quick? No. Easy as pie? NO. While SBI! does remove all the technical barriers (HTML, FTP, CGI, Search Engine mastery, etc.), please remember... you are, after all, creating and developing a business. So it is not "quick and easy" or "get rich quick" or "guaranteed to make you $1,000,000 in six months." However... if you are motivated, willing and ready to work to build an income-producing enterprise you can be successful.
