Creating Prosperity for All

The Invitation.
The Experience.
The Vision.
The Strategy.
The Movement.

I see myself as an ordinary person with an extraordinary message and exciting strategy that can quite literally change the world. It’s about creating a world that is prosperous for you, me, the planet, and everyone. Besides the fact that everyone wins if we achieve this lofty vision, what is most exciting is that we can. And, I know a concrete way to get started. That I know this and am acting on it is not important. What is important is that WE ALL know this and start acting on it. When I say I’m engaging humanity, I mean it!

So, I am embarking on a national and eventually global journey to initiate the recognition and action we need to achieve prosperity for all. I hope this brief introduction inspires you to find out more or to invite me to engage your community or organization in an inspiring, action-focused learning experience. These learning experiences could very well be the start of the movement we’ve all been hoping for!

About The Prosperity for All Message and Strategy
Prosperity for All, or PFA for short, is a message and strategy of hope and action. It’s hopeful because it’s actionable and actionable because it’s hopeful. PFA provides the missing “how-to” for getting us all on the same page, working collaboratively toward the brighter future we all want, but it doesn’t start there. No one starts working on anything until they know it’s possible, why it’s important, and that it holds meaning for them personally. So, PFA brings a way to:
  • Directly experience that we all want the same thing for our lives and the world. I’m talking about ALL of us, not just the “us” of a particular nation, culture, skin color, gender, religion, political affiliation, age, socio-economic status, geography, sexual orientation, or profession. This is a radical concept until you experience for yourself this is true.
  • Directly experience that though we all want the same thing for our lives and the world, we have yet to create it. We KNOW the world is not as we want it. When enough people experience this gap between those fundamental things we all really want and what we’ve created, we can start aligning our efforts toward what we want and away from what we don’t.
  • Focus on a vision lofty enough for EVERYONE to directly connect to. There are many worthwhile causes that focus on some aspect of prosperity for all. I believe PFA is lofty enough to engage more people, powerfully leverage related causes, and produce benefits for everyone as we all work toward it together.  
  • Work on a task concrete enough for focused, whole-system action. Lofty as it is, creating prosperity for all is not a vague notion. The PFA strategy brings us the missing how-to for focusing communities across the country (and the world) on this one unifying, mutually beneficial task; connecting people with one another; building local capacity; taking action; and leveraging local work toward policy change.
  • Get results by leveraging the resources of the whole system. The issues that keep us from a world that is prosperous for all are systemic—they cut across all sectors of society. None of our elected officials, corporations, government agencies, churches, educators, hospitals, experts, wealthy or poor residents, or the “average Joe" knows the answer. We may not have the answer individually, but we do have answers AMONG us. Because the strategy is built on a process with a global track record of success in most of the world’s cultures that enables diverse groups to do things together they never could before, PFA holds great promise for transformation as an integrated, connected effort.
  • Build societal systems and structures in alignment with creating prosperity for all. Without a vision lofty enough or a strategy capable of focusing our efforts, our societal systems and structures have had nothing to focus their energy, operations, and resources toward. We see the result of this collective disconnect in our current global situation. With every sector of society working together focusing on creating prosperity for all, PFA provides the mechanism that allows individual sectors to focus their unique contributions as a means to the larger end.
  • Engage everyone. Creating prosperity for all is about ordinary people working together. You don’t have to believe it’s possible. To create a world that works for all, we must engage all in the work. All worldviews, values, ethnicities, races, professions, political parties, cultures, etc. are welcome.
  • Start immediately. The strategy, methodology, people, the whole plan for engaging people to create a world that is prosperous for all is ready to roll. A national network of trained practitioners is ready, willing, and able to execute the strategy at a moment’s notice. Imagine what is possible when the whole system—everyone across the globe—focuses on this one goal and are connected together. Local champions, interested communities, and financial sponsors are all that is needed to begin.
Never before have we so needed a concrete task we can ALL get behind. I believe connecting us to what we truly want and using a proven methodology to focus our attention on it can begin the global transformation many are calling for.
