In the worldchangingbusiness community, we believe that at no other time in history has the state of humanity, peace, health, and world abundance been more dependent on the gifts and wisdom of the individual. In times past, we could depend on the leadership and wisdom of our elected officials and people in positions of power. But these times call for new measures, for which the wisdom of the many, rather than the few, is required.

This is why we turn to the wisdom and spirit of small business owners, where there is power in numbers. In the U.S. alone, we are a nimble and plentiful bunch of 17 million business owners accounting for more than $800 billion in annual business. Already pillars in our local economies, we have the power to grow our businesses while making an even bigger contribution to the world around us.

We have sparked a revolution. The revolution puts "giving back" at the center of building a profitable, sustainable business.

In this new paradigm, profitable businesses grow and expand as a direct function of their ability to serve the world around them.

We support small businesses owners, with under $1 million in annual revenues, build profitable, sustainable businesses that give back. We offer coaching, consulting, events, group programs, and information products that offer a clear path to tangible, enlightened success.

Our vision is to support 1 million enlightened business owners attain annual profits of $1 million or more, while building innovative businesses that give back to the world. This will produce a domino affect that brings sustainable prosperity to every community on the planet.

Our goal is to raise $1 million for micro-development by 2009. We believe that by using the "teach a man to fish" philosophy, we can transform people's lives around the world.

We encourage our members to create overflowing abundance to share with others in under-developed communities around the globe.

We empower our clients to build profitable, sustainable businesses that give back in the following ways:

  • Financial Giving. Contributing a percentage of profits to a cause aligned with their mission.
  • Innovative Business Practices. Marketing, sales, operations, and customer fulfillment systems that affect the world positively.
  • Value-Centered Leadership. Aligning ethical values with employee management, external partnerships, and community involvement.
