The "No Committed Soul Left Out" Payment Policy
|
|---|
The short and sweet of the new policy:
"Anyone who truly feels called to our work (programs and coaching services), and feel that we can be of service to them in living a more purposeful and meaningful life, will not be denied those services due to monetary or financial constraints. We will make every effort to find a way that will allow them to participate in our work while continuing to be financially responsible as an enterprise."

| It All Started with a Vision - To Create a World On Purpose | |
For example, we recently opened the next Living the Fulfilled Life Program: Purposeful Prosperity Edition, and there will be 12 slots available...the number of people we feel we can most effectively serve in the program. And yet, given our new policy, as long as there are slots available, we're committed to filling those slots with people who are guided to this program, whether or not they can pay the full tuition. Together with the client, we will sort out what financial arrangement is consistent with our being a vision-directed, fiscally responsible spiritually based enterprise. We also realize that in any economic climate there are people who are 'flush' with money and those who are 'tapped out' and many in between. To help balance these temporary imbalances, we're starting a Life On Purpose Scholarship Fund that will allow people who feel guided to contribute to helping others live on purpose to do so. So for example, let's say Alice really wants to do the upcoming Living the Fulfilled Life program and she can take care of 50% of the tuition without causing a hardship for herself or her family, then if there's money in the scholarship fund, we'll pull the other half of her tuition from the fund. If there's no money in the fund, then we'll absorb the difference. Now, will some people try to take advantage of this new policy? Perhaps, we'll see. This is an experiment, as is Life On Purpose Institute and our lives. These conditions include agreeing: ** to be a A++ client and/or program participant, which includes committing to get as much value from the program as possible. ** to attend all the sessions and complete all the homework thoroughly. ** to be in the program not only for your own benefit but also with a commitment to support and contribute to the other participants. If in a coaching relationship, you agree that your being in coached will be a contribution to those around you. ** to 'pay-it-forward' in the future. Whatever benefit you receive from your participating in the Life On Purpose work, you will one day pay-it-forward by contributing and making a difference with one or more people in whatever form you feel is in integrity for you. As this 'experiment' continues to evolve, we will update this page so, if you are interested in either applying for financial assistance or would like to contribute to our scholarship fund, please check back.

And so, the purpose of the Life On Purpose Scholarship Fund is to facilitate the giving and receiving / the breathing in and breathing out process. So if you feel called to help others to bring a deeper sense of purpose and meaning to their life by assisting them to clarify their life purpose, please give...from your heart. We promise to do our best to direct these funds to those who can most benefit from them. |
| Questions & Answers |

Since this is a new experiment, and since one important part of conducting an experiment it to learn new things, I'm providing this section for questions that arise and the answers that come from the questions. Offering services for free sounds interesting, but how can you hope to run a business that way? Well, that's not exactly how this question has been framed but it has become apparent from some of the early feedback and comments received that 'pro bono' or free services is how some people are interpreting this policy. And yet, that is not the intention here, because, of course, it would be virtually impossible to stay in business that way, especially in a service business like ours that has many hours of preparation and delivery of our services. (That is, unless we attract some rich benefactor, or other undetermined funding source, which I'm open to but not expecting.) The intent is to keep fulfilling on the vision of creating a world on purpose while also maintaining the fiscal and financial responsibility. How that will play out...I really don't know yet. It's too early to tell. My relationship with Life On Purpose's C.E.O. is on a 'need to know basis,' so I'll let you know when I know. |
