Lets go, humans!
Does defunding the billionaires have a nice ring to it?
Would you like to see more financial equality in the world?
More working together for the common good?
Less greed?
Instead of the majority of wealth being held by just a few, who spend it on yachts and a 7th vacation home, there is an innovative new business model that will revolutionize the way we do business in the world and redirect resources to the people, animals and places on the planet where it is needed.
The power lies in the hands of the people.
We are many.
They are few.
We run this business model in our online yoga studio at Yoga with Angie & Friends.
We are not here to convince you to join the studio (though you are more than welcome to, we won't complain).
We are here to connect with like minded individuals who want to work together or share ideas on how we can spread the word about this movement to resolve the worlds inequality problem, before it's too late.
Read on to learn more about the progressive giving model and how we use it in our work.
Some Perspective...
Imagine you are one of the world's top 5 billionaires...
Your net worth is 240 billion dollars.
If you ran (just as an example) a 67% giving business model inside your business, you would keep 33% of profits for yourself, (33% is 79.2 billion, a hefty amount to live on.)
The other 67% would go to help solve world problems like hunger, poverty and environmental degradation; that's 160.8 billion to charity.
You are still living comfortably while helping the world in a meaningful way.
Imagine how well you would sleep at night!
If even just half the billionaires in the world restructured their businesses this way, it would change the planet.
Origin of the Progressive Giving Model
Yoga with Angie & Friends is based on the yogic teaching of APARIGRAHA, non-possessiveness or NON-GREED.
It teaches to GIVE AWAY surplus resources to help others after the basic needs of our own families are taken care of, rather than hoarding the surplus.
Aparigraha emphasizes the value of living with only what is necessary and letting go of excess possessions.
The practice is known to foster a sense of contentment and inner peace while promoting a life of simplicity, mindfulness, balance and generosity.
In the face of overwhelming corporate greed and poverty in the world, it is our dream that businesses begin to choose progressive giving business models like this one, that redirect wealth to those who need it most.
Aparigraha was taught to me by the masters in Northern India.
The concept really stuck with me.
How it Works
There are many ways to design a progressive giving model in business.
The primary goal of the model is to provide enough resources to sustain the business and its founder/employees comfortably while giving an increasing amount to charities that help the world, as the business becomes more and more profitable.
The model we run in our online studio, Yoga with Angie & Friends, is structured to increase the percentage of profits we donate by 1% every 100 new members who join.
Our goal is to reach a 67% donation rate.
We wanted it to be a significant enough of an amount to make a real difference in the world, while still taking care of ourselves and our families.
There are a few reasons why we landed on the number 67 in particular, one of them being it is just over two thirds, which is a generous chunk.
There is also a spiritual significance to the number 67 as well as the numerological meaning of 4 (6+7=13, 1+3=4) which symbolizes stability, structure, foundation and balance, exactly what we want for this project as it provides for the planet and its inhabitants.
Giving back is one of our core values here in our community.
