Six Simple Steps  That Will Change Your World.

Regardless of what the causes are, all of us on the planet are experiencing the beginning and/or the intermediate stages of some potentially disastrous, life-altering, environmental transformations.   We cannot simply say,  "We didn't cause these changes, therefore we can ignore them.”   If we ignore these changes they will produce some extremely destructive and irreversible  consequences.

Question:    You talk about creating The New Corporate World Foundation's  Win-Win Business Structure.   What is it?   

Rev. Coté:    It's now possible, with relative ease and simplicity for almost any profit-oriented corporation that has publicly traded stock to make a major shift the context² in which it does business.   This new context shifts corporate concern from profits only to a five-fold focus  --  to a focus on  employees, management, customers, the environment, and the stockholders.   It's incredibly simple to do and yet the implication are far-reaching and profound.  How to do this is described below.

Question:    What will be the result? 

Rev. Coté:   A major, peaceful redistribution of wealth  --  the re-vitalization and re-assertion of the middle class  --  a cure for the disease called debt² --  happier, more productive employees --  higher quality products and services --- and a major step toward the Reversal of Global Warming.

Executives who choose to make this change will become leaders in The New Corporate World.   They will be able to run  their company without being dominated by the Wall Street moguls whose only interests are money, power, and control.   

Through a team effort, the corporate and Foundation leaders can then do what they believe is in everybody's best interest, including their own best interest and that of the corporation's management, their employees, their customers, the remaining stockholders and the environment.   Environmental  concerns will be in their rightful place as one piece of the four-part matrix  --  employees (including management), customers, environment, and stockholders.   

In this format, everyone gets a fair share of the pie.  Imagine a world where domination is replaced by cooperation.

Question:    How is that possible?        The Six Steps         The Six Steps        ...

Rev. Coté:    Here are the six, simple steps.

1)    Ask the leaders of the company you work for  (or the leaders in any corporation) if they'd like to:  
a)   Take back control of the company from the money interests,  
b)   Increase their company's profits,  
c)    Expand their power and influence in the corporate world,
        and at the same time, 
d)   Be in a position to play a significant role in Reversing Global Warming.  

2)   When they say, "Yes,”  and ask, “How?” 
Invite them  to set up their own, non-profit Foundation.

3   Then, each month, their company donates a small percentage of its profits to this Foundation.     (One source of the funding will come from re-directing a portion of the money they commonly give to charity.)

4)   The Foundation uses this money to buy stock in their company.  

5)   The Foundation uses the profits from owning the stock to buy more stock in their company.   

6)    When the Foundation holds enough stock to override the votes of the money-is-my-only-interest stockholders,  then the  corporation and the Foundation, functioning as a team, can redefine the corporation's reason for being.   That's when the real transformation can begin.   At that point, the corporate leaders, the Foundation leaders, and the employees join forces and re-focus the company onto the well-being of the foundation's five beneficiaries:

a)  The Employees & Management         c)  The Environment

b)  The Customers                                    d)  The Remaining Stockholders  

The Foundations bylaws are carefully written to insure that everyone gets a fair share of the benefits.

Question:    What are the advantages? 

Rev. Coté:    Here are the most obvious results.   For those corporations that choose to participate: 

1)   The demands for short-term profits will no longer dominate corporate leadership.   

2)   Fighting between labor and management over money will be  replaced by cooperation and mutual support.

3)   Corporate leaders can  end the arrogant exploitation and needless destruction of the Earth's natural resources²  that belong to all of us,   

4)   Corporate leaders be able to take care of the needs, desires, and requirements of  their employees,  

5)  Corporations will be able to make higher-quality products and provide better service to their customers,

6)   Corporate leaders will be in positions to make a significant contributions to the Reversal of Global Warming, and 

7)  Corporations will still be able to satisfy their investor's requirements for profits.      (Too Good to Be True)²   

Another significant plus to this project is that when the project begins to prove itself in the external world, the money-is-my-only-interest-stockholders will realize that:

1)    the change is in their own, long-term, best interest, and 

2)   the change is inevitable, 

they will very likely proxy their corporate vote to the Foundation.  This will significantly speed up the transformation process.

Question:    What if we don't create The New Corporate World? 

Rev. Coté:     Humanity will not have the capacity to make the necessary changes in time to avoid major, global-level disaster.  

Question:    What do you mean? 

Rev. Coté:    We Have Turned on Nature's Doomsday Machine.

Human-caused Climate Change has not only released vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it has also started the release of the 10,000 billion tons of methane presently frozen in the Arctic Circle.   Methane is twenty-three times more destructive to the environment than carbon dioxide.   Each year, the amount of this gas being released is increasing.

Question:    Bottom-line this for me. 

Rev. Coté:    Unless this self-expanding cycle is reversed within the next ten years, the rate of release will escalate very rapidly to the level where it will become un-stoppable.    If we do not take action intentionally designed to stop this cycle, the entire 10,000 billion tons of methane presently frozen in the Arctic Circle will automatically be released into the atmosphere.   The environment will be drastically altered.   

Question:    What will change? 

Rev. Coté:    The Earth’s temperature will rise about eighteen degrees Fahrenheit.   The ocean level will rise by about forty feet.   Glaciers and mountain snow caps will disappear.   Dozens of other destructive changes will occur.   The consequences will be devastating, deadly, and irreversible!   

Que:    What will be the effect on humans?  

Rev. Coté:    The  rise in ocean level will force billions of people out of their homes.    The loss of mountain snow caps will  leave over thirty percent of the world’s population without fresh water in the dry season.   Billions of people will likely die of environmental exposure or starvation.   Most large life forms on the entire planet will become extinct.

Question:    Why do you say that corporations are the key to resolving our environmental problems? 

Rev. Coté:    Because the world's corporations have   the means,   the motive,   the talent,   the opportunity,   the resources,   the ability, and the freedom to make major changes in the fundamental  fabric of society, including the Reversal of  Global Warming.   As currently structured, they lack only one ingredient.

Question:    And what is that? 

Rev. Coté:    How to do so and still satisfy their investor's requirements for profits.   This problem is solvable by the simple structural adaptation and the easy-to-implement change in strategy  suggested above.¹ 

Question:    Are you saying that creating The New Corporate World  (NCW)   is the Answer? 

Rev. Coté:    The problem is much too complex to have a single answer.   However, creating The New Corporate World Foundation's  Win-Win Business Structure is a major step in the right direction.

Question:    What are you actually doing?   Why are you doing it, and what are the implications? 

Rev. Coté:    When a corporations sells stock, it' really selling a piece of ownership in it's business.    A portion of its profit must go to the new owner (the stock holder).    Another way to say this is that the company is going into debt.   A portion of its profit must go to service that debt.   

If you as an individual carried a huge debt which you never paid off and spent a significant portion of your earnings paying your creditors, you'd be considered crazy.   If the main purpose for your existence was to pay money to your creditors, you would be actually have to be crazy.    When a corporation does exactly the same thing, it's equally as crazy, but under our present social structure,  it's considered normal.   

Question:    Are you saying that corporate leaders are crazy? 

Rev. Coté:    No.   When corporations were first introduced into society, they were designed by the money lenders for the express purpose of making money off of the labor of others.   Over time, they have evolved into what we have today.   Up to now, almost no one has explained this financial structure to the public and exposed the system for what it is.   Those who have explained it have been ignored or suppressed by the money lenders.   

Here's the bottom line:   The world's major corporation are cash cows for the super wealthy who own, control and reap the major benefits of their activity.   The super wealthy have gradually taken control of  the political system and have caused the rules (laws) to be changed and/or re-designed to give them a huge advantage at the expense of everything and everyone else.   

Question:    And you are proposing to change that?

Rev. Coté:    Yes!   And the process is incredible simple.  Here it is in four words:   GET OUT OF DEBT!    When corporations actually do this, the consequences will be  phenominal beyond words.   This will literally transform the entire planet,  that is if we don't kill ourselves in the mean time by ignoring Global Climate Change.²   

Question:    How can that be?

Rev. Coté:    It will produce a redistribution of wealth on the planet at a level never seen or even imagined  before.   And in case you have forgotten, money is one of the world's three main movers and shakers.   The other two are religious beliefs, and sex.   You may have to think about this for a moment because the benefits will come through by indirection.   We'll talk more about the benefits later.

Question:    What does redistributing the wealth mean?

Rev. Coté:    When billions of dollars are no longer going into the pockets of the super-wealthy, they will be going to  the foundations four beneficiaries  --   the employees (including management), the customers, the environment, and to the remaining stockholders.   

As just one example of this, you are invited to examine what social security would have been if the assets had been used to create an investment portfolio and not stolen and spent by the bureaucrats.   See the page title:  What Social Security Was Supposed to Be.²   The main difference is that NCW will have thousands of investment portfolios and not just a single huge one.   It's only a matter of time before NCW's collective financial power becomes so strong that it transforms the financial world.   

Eventually and by peaceful evolution, the present society which is based upon debt,²   competition, and greed will be replaced by a society based on cooperation, co-creation, and mutual support.   Everyone will be in the winner's circle.   Through Foundation stock ownership, everyone will get a share of the corporate benefits.   There simply aren't any losers.   

Question:    What about the super-wealthy?   Won't they be the losers?

Rev. Coté:    No.  They'll actually be the biggest winners.   They're  stuck in a very destructive loop that has gotten so far out of hand that they are on a path to self-destruction.   If they don't wakeup very soon, Global Warming will kill most large life forms on the planet, including the super-wealthy.    

NCW is derailing this destructive cycle in a very positive way.   It's about making the pie bigger and not about fighting and destroying.   Nothing will be taken away from the wealthy.   

Question:    So you are not declaring war on the wealthy.

Rev. Coté:    No.   We are not fighting anything.   We're simply creating a replacement structure that has a greater value than that which it is replacing.   When people see the increased value in The New Corporate World Foundation's  Win-Win Business Structure, they will simply leave the old ways and move to the new.   That's how cars replaced the horse and buggy.   That's how computers replaced typewriters.  That's how light replaces dark and how order replaces confusion.   

Remember, The Universal Law of Thought² tells us that we empower what we focus on.   We (TLC-Life-Center)  are  focused on creating a win/win for everybody.    If you or anybody you know can show us the downside of this concept, we'd love to here it.²   Also, we invite and we challenge anybody to prove us wrong.²  

Question:    Can you give me the details on how all this  will work?

Rev. Coté:    The process is too complicated to explain in a few sentences.   Please view our websites for an extensive explanation.

Que:    What is this going to cost me?

Ans:    The cost to  you is:  
 Zero-Dollars    Cost-Free    $0.00 - Free   
All you have to do is wakeup.   

Que:    What do you mean by "wake up?"

Ans:    It means that we have to see life on Earth the way the evidence tells us it is.   You have to stop living as if several false beliefs were true -- false beliefs such as:  "We can destroy the environment and not reap the consequences."  "Violence solves problems."   "Humans are separate from God, separate from nature, and separate from each other."   And dozens more.  

Que:    Why would anyone want what you are proposing? 

Ans:    Because collectively, we have to make major changes in order to survive, and creating The New Corporate World  is one of the best choices available at the moment.   

Que:    So you have the magic formula?

Ans:    No.  Creating  The New Corporate World  is  neither a silver bullet nor life's elixir.   It is, however, a major step in the right direction.   Changing the way corporations run their businesses is not the end in itself,   It is an important piece of a much  bigger picture and an excellent next step.  

(You're invited to participate.  Find out how this change will impact your personal life at: http://www.TextAndContext.info/22.html²)

Que:    How is this related  to  Reversing Global Warming?  

Ans:    Corporations are among the major creators of the environmental pollutants and are major contributors to Global Warming.   Because their main focus is presently on money at the expense of everything else, they are not taking care of the environment.   

When businesses become part of The New Corporate World , money will no longer be their sole driving force.   Environmental  concerns will be in their rightful place as one piece of the four-part matrix  -- employees, customers, environment, stockholders.   Please view our websites for an extensive explanation:  

http://www.New-Corporate-World.info²  

http://www.HowToReverseGlobalWarming.info²  

Que:    What if you're wrong?

Ans:    There's always the possibility that we could be wrong.   But what if those who pooh-pooh Global Warming are wrong?   Are you willing to bet the lives of your children, your grandchildren, and all the rest of humanity that Global Warming  is just a hippie, tree-hugger's fairytale?

Que:    No, the overwhelming evidence says Global Warming is real² and the potential consequences of ignoring it are too devastating.   

Ans:    From the perspective of  whether-or-not-to-take-action,  it doesn't matter what is causing the environmental changes, we can't simply sit back and allow these devastating changes to occur.   To do nothing is to invite disaster.   

Que:    Are you talking about glacial ice melting?

Ans:    Yes.   If the polar ice caps melt the ocean levels will rise by about forty feet flooding out billions of people.    If the mountain snow caps melt, billions of people will be without water during their dry season.

Que:    So you are saying that the only safe option is to act as if Global Warming is real?

Ans:    Yes.   Let me set the context.    

Que:    Please do.

Ans:    Regardless of what's causing the climate to change, the environment is in dire need of attention.    In order to solve our collective problems, we must work together.     And in order to work together, human  beliefs,   attitudes, and   behaviors  must change.   The government won't lead us.    The people can't do it alone.  The Rapture²  is a mindless fairytale,  and Superman died years ago.   This leaves a huge leadership void.

Que:    Are you saying that  The New Corporate World Foundation's Project can fill that void?  

Ans:    Yes, definitely! 

Que:    Then where will the money come from?    

Ans:    Most corporations already donate a portion of their profits in support of charitable causes.   For example, the California retail store corporation, Target, presently donates five percent of the profit from its retail sales to charitable causes.   We are suggesting that Target and other corporations simple take a portion of the money already earmarked for charity and use that money to fund their own, independently controlled Foundation.

.6

Que:    I'd like to go back to the six benefits you mentioned earlier.   Number six on your list was that the corporations could still  satisfy their investor's requirements for profits.    How can they do that?   

Ans:    Let's talk some basic economics for a moment, and I'll  give you an answer by analogy.   If you, as an individual, had a large debt that you were servicing, where would you get the money to pay the interest and to pay off the debt.   

Que:    I'd have to earn it.     

Ans:    Then a portion of your earnings (profits) would be diverted away from taking care of yourself and instead, used to pay your lenders.    

Que:     Yes..  

Ans:    What kind of advice would you be getting form everybody except your lender? 

Que:    Get out of debt as quickly as possible.   

Ans:    Now suppose you and your spouse were carrying a debt together.  What advice would you receive then.  

Que:    The Same.   Get out of debt as quickly as possible.   

Ans:    Now suppose you and thirty other people  were carrying a debt together.  What advice would you receive then.  

Que:    The Same.   Get out of debt as quickly as possible.   What's your point?   

Ans:     My point is that the number of people on the debtors side of this equation is irrelevant.  The same answer always applies: "Get our of debt as quickly as possible."   Debt costs money.  It costs freedom.   The bigger the debt, the more it costs.     Unless you can borrow low and lend high, the only sensible answer is  "Get our of debt as quickly as possible." 

Que:    And. . .   

Ans:    The same applies to corporations.   

Que:    I never thought of it that way.  

Ans:    Let's take this one step further.   Corporations are owned by the stockholders and the company executives manage the corporation for the stockholders.  Is that correct.   

Que:    Yes..  

Ans:    When a stockholder buys stock in a company, he (or she) is lending money to the corporation with the intention of making a profit.   The corporation returns that money and the profit  in two ways -- through dividends and higher stock value.   What are the stockholders interested in.     

Que:    Money!   Profits and higher stock prices.     

Ans:    What else?    

Que:    Nothing else.   

Ans:    Now take the same corporation after it  has transferred  most of its stock ownership to a specially set up non-profit foundation as we have described above.  How much money do they need to spend on servicing their loans?  

Que:    Significantly less.   

Ans:    What if they followed the advice you got about your personal loans?   What if they paid off all their debts?    

Que:    Corporation are presently focused on money.   If they eliminated all their loans, their purpose for being would cease to exist.  

Ans:    Is it possible that corporations have a false sense of purpose?    What about the employees and the customers?    

Que:    Oh, Ya!  I forgot about them.    

Ans:    That's alright, so have most corporations.   What obligations do corporations have to their employees, to their customers, and  to the environment?    

Que:    After about thirty years of silence, a  lot of people are starting to ask that question, again, at least about a corporation's obligations to its employees.    

Ans:   The answer to this question depends upon one's perspective.    From the present, cut-throat,   money-is-all-that-matters,   dog-eat-dog  perspective, the answer is "None!"   If you open your heart, a whole raft of reasons float into mind.    

Most major corporations have been turned into money machines feeding profits to their lenders (stockholders) with utter disregard for their employees, their customers, and the environment.     Most major corporations function for one purpose and one purpose only -- to feed money to their investors.  The corporation's physical products and/or its  services have become by-products in a money machine.    Employees are treated as little more than disposable tool used for the production of money.   Their entire reason for being has become:  "To produce money for investors."  Nothing else matters, including the environment.

Employees are stuck doing jobs they don't want to do.   They are only doing those jobs because they need money to survive.   Even if they don't owe anybody money, they are still being milked for money by an economic system set up by the wealthy and for the wealthy.²    On a larger scale, the corporations are in the same predicament as the individuals.  

Que:    What do you mean?   

Ans:    Corporations were also set up by the wealthy and for the wealthy.   Because of their debt, they are stuck in a never-ending chase for more money.

Que:    Is there another way?   

Ans:    Of Course!   The New Corporate World Foundation's Project is specifically designed to resolve this problem.   

What we will have for those participating in The New Corporate World  Win-Win Business Structure  is a group of people working collectively for themselves.    They will no longer at the effect of money lenders.   They can kiss Wall Street goodbye.   They will be working as a team for five beneficiaries -- the employees, the management, the customers, the environment, and the remaining stockholders.  

Que:    And you are saying that The New Corporate World  Win-Win Business Structure  is going to dramatically change that.

Ans:    Yes, and as I've already shown you, the transformation process is incredibly simple, easy-to implement, and has profound long term results.

Que:    So is  NCW  changing the purpose for a corporations existence?   

Ans:   Yes,  because it's expanding their present purpose to include the employees, the customers and the environment.    It's not taking anything away.   The New Corporate World Foundation's  Win-Win Business Structure  is simply  giving corporations an expanded sense of purpose.    

Que:    What will the corporation do with all the money that they used to pay to the stockholders?   

Ans:    It will go in one form or another to the five beneficiaries.   We'll get into that in more detail in a moment.   

Que:    What about corporations borrowing money to do things that they otherwise couldn't do?   

Ans:    That's fine.  They'll  borrow money when needed, but they'll pay it back as quickly as possible.  Presently corporations borrow money and never pay off their debts.    

Que:    Wouldn't the foundations you are talking about just be another lender to whom money was owed?   

Ans:    That would depend upon the purpose for which the foundation was set up.   That would depend upon who were the named beneficiaries.    In the case described in TLC-Life-Center's proposal for The New Corporate World,  the beneficiaries are the the employees (including management), customers, the remaining stockholders and the environment.    

I have a question for you.   The corporate executives are company employees, right?

Que:    Yes.  

Ans:    Then who are the executives actually working for?   

Que:    Themselves

Ans:    Themselves, plus the other employees, with do consideration for the customers and the environment.  Is that correct?

Que:    Yes.  

Ans:    And where is all the money (the profits)  going to go?  

Que:    To the employees (including the executives) , the customers,  and the environment.   

Ans:    And what are they going to do with all the excess money?   

Que:    I don't know. 

Ans:    If they are wise, they'll invest it and have money working for them instead of them working for money.   

Que:    It sounds like they can make themselves and each other rich.
