Roger's Vision for XL Nation's Transformation

Roger’s Personal Note to XL Leaders
on the XL Transformation

Thank you for all your effort and contribution over
the last six months and last seven years.

I am writing in this format as it‟s the easiest way to
organise my thoughts and share what I want to
share – and ask what I‟m going to ask.

Do bear with me as this is my most comprehensive
explanation of the transformation we are all part of
and how it affects (and benefits) all of us.

The Last Six Months – What a Ride!

If anyone had suggested that what has happened
over the last six months was going to happen, I
would have thought they were nuts.

The pace of change has been like a storm at sea
where everything becomes questioned – including
what‟s up and down, safe and scary.

It‟s a day after XL National Day, and it‟s the first day
I‟ve had to catch my breath and see the break in the
clouds. That‟s why I‟m here with you now. So thank
you for your patience.

Skipping ahead a little…

XL Nation launched on XL National Day. I‟m going
to share with you how XL Nation is different from XL
Results Foundation. We had a chance to share
some of this at the XL Leader Meet. I‟m going to
see how well I do explaining it even more clearly
here.

Then I‟m going to explain what this means to us.
What it means to you as an XL Leader, and what it
means to me and everyone who has shared this
extraordinary journey.

And I‟m going to end with a request – which is why
I‟m preparing you ahead of time!

What exactly is XL Nation?

XL Nation is our collective solution to achieve
XL2020 and World Wide Wealth.

While we all know and see how far our XL1.0 model
has taken us in seven short years, we‟ve all been
around enough to have seen the gaps in that pot
grow as the plant grew into a tree.

While XL1.0 was a pot, XL2.0 is the garden. Right
here, I‟m going to take you on a tour of that garden
so we can all see how different it is.

This tour has ten steps…

What exactly is XL Nation?

1. Joining the Garden
2. Learning to Play
3. Circles: A Place of Belonging
4. From Circles to Streams
5. Multiplying Circles
6. Shared R.O.I.
7. Double Everything
Now We‟re Talking!
8.
9. A True Global Democracy
10. Guardians of the Light

After the ten step tour, we get onto what this
means to our Life Members, to you and to me.
So let‟s get going…

Step 1: Joining the garden

In XL 1.0, to be part of the tree as an XL Life
Member you needed to afford $5,000 to
$10,000, but anyone could join.

In XL2.0, to step into the garden as an XL Citizen
the qualification is not whether you can afford it, but
whether you can add value. The cost is S$360 each
year but you need to be nominated in by an existing
member.

That means we can scale up without needing sales
breakfasts and salesmanship, and we don‟t have
anyone joining just to get, but everyone joining
because they want to give.


With scalability, we will be seeing thousands join
each month instead of hundreds.

New XL Citizens join at www.xlnation.org and when
they join they give their sponsors email. The chain
ensures sponsors confirm new citizens and that
their orientation is carried through.

Applicants can also join and wait for a sponsor. This
means we will see thousands join a wait list where
XL Citizens get to choose who they want to sponsor
in as XL Citizens. Only when there is a hand to
hold, will there be a place to play.


On joining, instead of receiving a big fat pack of
expensive printed material, an XL Citizen does their
Wealth Dynamics Profile and gets access to XL
World. Together with their sponsor, they will then
have easy access to all the help guides to every
step of their citizenship.

This means simple guides, videos, tutorials to every
element of XL Nation from using Wealth Dynamics
to sharing opportunities to joining XL Circles, etc.
Everything available at the touch of a button on
your mobile phone, and updated in a wiki format
that is constantly added to and enhanced by XL
Nation Founding Members.


This first step clears our primary bottleneck – our
high barrier to entry to join (in
cost, time, opportunity and limited sales resources).

This could not have been possible seven years ago
when we did not have a global presence, when we
did not have online social media and when we did
not have the global momentum towards change
that we have today.

We now have the reach, the means and the will to
enable us to be connecting not thousands but
millions and that is the power of step one.

Step 2: Learning to play

In XL 1.0, once a member joined, it was up to the
City Leader to orientate them. In XL2.0, every
citizen must have a sponsor (who they will know
and trust) and it is that sponsor who will make sure
they are up to speed.

This means we will not face the danger of
disconnection the moment they join. XL Citizens will
take ownership for ensuring their friends are up to
speed on Wealth Dynamics, Effective Giving and
the way we play.


By making the sponsor accountable for the value a
new citizen receives, we have a self-regulating
quality control mechanism.

By ensuring that all XL Citizens are equipped with
the right videos, audios and guide – all available
online – we are not dependent on the presentation
skills of the few. We are only dependent on the will
of the many.

This accountability gives scalability to ownership on
the experience of new Citizens, regardless of the
number of new Citizens joining each day.


In XL 1.0, new Members were asked to attend a
Power-Up or Momentum. If they didn‟t they would
soon become disconnected. In XL2.0, every Citizen
MUST be part of an XL Circle and show up at least
60% of the time, or they are asked to leave.

XL Circles may meet monthly, bi-monthly or
quarterly. An XL Circle is like a Power-Up, but is no
longer just one per city with the City Leader running
it. Every XL Circle has a focus – whether by
location, industry, interest, profession, passion or
purpose. And no one gets into one that is not fully
relevant to themselves.
.

Step 3: Circles: A place of belonging

After seven years in this community, there is no
greater truth that I have found than that:

The XL Members who got the most value found a
group they loved being with and that was relevant
to their lives. Regardless of what else was delivered
to them, these two things were worth the entire
value of membership.

The XL Members who got the least value could not
find a group they loved being with and that was
relevant to their lives. No matter how much extra
value we tried to deliver, without these two things
there could never be enough.

.

Step 3: Circles: A place of belonging

Every XL Circle carries the DNA of XL, which is the
XL Environment – the playground we play in. That
means that EVERY time we meet we have a
structure which is:

FUN
INSPIRING
ACTION FOCUSED

Every time we meet as a cell within the whole, we
add value to XL and XL adds value to us. We
leverage XL, and XL leverages us. We achieve
wealth, and XL achieves World Wide Wealth.

.

Step 4: From Circles to Streams

In XL1.0 we asked Country and City Leaders to
share their successes, learning, opportunities with
the wider XL community with limited success. In
XL2.0, this sharing becomes an essential part of
the process.

Imagine a WDE without opportunity knocks.
Imagine an EBS without the connected teams and
mentoring. The power of XL is in the shared
resources.

In XL2.0, every circle will be a conduit to flow, and
built into the process is the guaranteed sharing of
resources between circles.


Every XL Circle has a leader for every element of
flow. At every circle meeting the
learning, opportunities, successes, measures and
giving are shared and added to our global
library, market, media, scoreboard and World Wide
Wealth.

Each Circle has a leader to support each area so
we hold each other to account.

The standards of an XL Environment – of
fun, inspiration and action – will bring the spirit of
XL into every meeting regardless of its size.


Unlike in XL1.0 where there is little trace of the
5,000 events we ran over seven years, in XL2.0 we
will ensure we become greater than the sum of our
parts.

In XL1.0 our heart failed to reach every part of us:
Not because our heart was too small, but each cell
was not connected to our flow. In XL2.0 any cell
that disconnects will soon be rejected, and every
cell that joins us will add to the health of the whole.

Step 4 gives us a direct link and rhythm between
our personal self and our global whole.

Step 5: Multiplying Circles

In XL1.0, new cities and countries could not begin
without the support of the central office. As we got
to breaking point, we had to stop adding new
countries. All those extra limbs were leading to
heart failure.

In XL2.o, new XL Circles can be created with the
sponsorship of the leaders of an existing XL Circle.
No one needs to wait for approval, and there is a
simple recognition and rejection process so that we
retain integrity while also ensuring there are no
bottlenecks to growth.

Step 5: Multiplying Circles

Each Circle has conditions of success to be
complete – including a niche, at least 12
members, all the leadership positions full and the
Circle set up and transparent on www.xlworld.org.
That‟s when it becomes a fully functioning cell.

In XL1.0, all of us – the central office, Country and
City Leaders – became the bottlenecks to new
talent stepping up and taking on leadership
positions. We filled the limited positions we had set
and stopped new shoots from sprouting. In
XL2.o, there is no head for us to lose. Every circle
contains the DNA of the whole.

.

Hang on a minute…

Before I go any further, it‟s time for a pause. At this
point (which is about as much as some of us
understand XL Nation to be), it‟s easy to think we‟re
getting the picture…

Sounds like XL2.0 is local power-ups without the
leadership. Or Rotary on steroids. Or BNI plugged
into the Internet. Nope. Where other networks
end, that‟s where we begin.

XL2.0 is not about the circles any more than a new
born baby is about the cells. But it is the cells that
make up the baby – and this is one big baby we‟re
now able to grow…

Step 6: Shared R.O.I.

R.O.I. stands for Resources, Opportunities and
Information. In XL1.0, these were all channeled and
transmitted centrally. In XL2.o, these will have
millions of inputs and outputs. We‟ve moved from
the river to rain, and we are the raindrops.

XL Nation will have the most comprehensive and
organised orchestration of resources which is
tagged, coded and categorised using Wealth
Dynamics. XL Citizens can find the most useful
resources through a global circle of trust - not of
what people look at but what people act upon. This
is a massive paradigm shift.


For example, on the Internet, how do you know
which is the best video on leadership? In XL World
you will be able to find rated videos of learning
based on which has been used by the most
circles, together with postings of exactly how
Citizens utilised the learning to deliver results. The
same goes for
opportunities, connections, challenges and success
stories.

What we are creating is a shared library of
APPLIED knowledge, which links us to the
resources and opportunities for us to also
accelerate our own journey. While this was a vision
in XL1.0, now XL2.0 has a structure to ensure we
build it collectively.


This will enable speakers and thought leaders to
present at XL Circles and know their learning will be
organised, shared globally, rated and categorised.

It will enable entrepreneurs to share opportunities
and connections in a structured way, so we all find
what we need when we need it.

It will allow us all to add content for global
use, finding its ways into circles in schools, villages
and entire networks within XL Nation.

Step 7: Double Everything

XL Circles also allow us to create a powerful trading
system within XL in a way that the input of
individuals never can. Microfinance works best
when in circles of trust, and the XL Infinity Market
works in the same way.

To me, this is one of the most powerful parts of XL
Nation. Each of us offers in $10,000 of value that is
then offered to other Citizens at $2 of value for
every $1 of price. Most barter systems break down
because everyone overprices what they offer. In the
XL Infinity Market, not only do we receive double
the value, but anything offered must already have
been bought at market price from someone within
the circle.

Step 7: Double Everything

In XL1.0, many members remained perplexed as to
how to find value to offer. In XL2.0, the XL Infinity
Market forces each circle to focus on each Citizen
to find something that can be monetized and added
to the bank.

As Citizens, each of us can step into XL Nation and
immediately get all the help we need – from setting
up our company, getting a web site, finding support,
buying in resources and advice. We don‟t need
money to get started. We simply need clarity on
what we are adding of value.

Step 7 sets us apart from every other nation. We
don‟t enter it naked and hungry. We enter it full.

Step 8: Now We’re Talking!

In XL1.0, we were a team of presenters. If you
missed the talk, you missed the value. In XL2.0, we
will grow a team of producers.

The monthly online momentums will become
weekly and eventually daily. They will be live, from
Cities and Countries around the world. We will be
able to vote on who we want and in time our
numbers will be attractive to any speaker or leader.

This technology did not exist a year ago. Now it
does and we intend to use it.

Step 8: Now We’re Talking!

The combination of Circles that meet regularly, of
access to world class speakers and to the
technology to connect the two live and interactive
give us a unique global environment that no other
network has mastered.

We have already had the experience of running
ustream talks globally, with several hundred people.
It is only a matter of time before this goes into the
thousands.

Using XL World and the online calendar, Circles
can easily co-ordinate the audience for global
momentums with world leaders at a scale that
XL1.0 could not achieve.

Step 9: A True Global Democracy

In XL1.0 we operated, like most companies, as a
monarchy. At the global, country and city levels. In
XL2.0, using online voting software, we are creating
the first true global democracy without the need for
centralised leadership.

Every month, our online live Forum Sessions will be
the meeting point for making decisions on changes
and additions to the structure, to the constitution
and to the programs and projects endorsed at a
global level.

Step 9: A True Global Democracy

Every Circle will have a leadership that is voted in
each year. Every City and Country will have a
leader to be the representative for all the circles in
the City and Country, voted in each year by the
Circle Leaders.

Leadership of the Arcs (up to 576 Citizens) and the
Sea (global team) will also be elected in each year
by the Forum and Senate respectively.

In short, no one will outstay their welcome, and no
position will be a block to flow.

Step 10: Guardians of the Light

At the beginning of XL1.o there were two of us. The
first US Congress had 26 Senators in Washington.
We begin XL2.o with 3,200 Founding Members
around the World.

No global body – whether the UN, IMF, World
Bank, has a globally elected leadership with a
division of power necessary within every
democracy. In XL Nation, the Senate provides a
balance of power to the Forum.

The role of the Senate is to hold XL Nation not to
the greater good, but the greatest good: The Truth
from which flows Trust and Trade.

Step 10: Guardians of the Light

The Forum‟s focus is Trust and Trade. The Forum
meets monthly online and is made up of the Circle
Leader and Circle Guardian of each Circle.

The Senate‟s focus is Truth: Whether the actions of
the Forum align with our values and mission. The
Senate has veto power over Forum votes. The
Senate meets monthly online and is made up of the
Founding Members.

In XL1.0 there were no checks and balances at any
leadership level. In XL2.0, we have built a
revolutionary structure that can scale to a Forum of
thousands, while remaining true.

My favourite story

At EBS, Iain, one of our members presented his
plan, Scholaris, which serves 400,000 students
through its learning community.

On XL National Day, after running through the
Circle training, Iain came up to me and said “Kids
already get this. How can we get all 400,000
students into XL Nation?

We‟re one day into XL Nation, and this is the kind of
story I think we‟ll be hearing every day soon. The
scalability and sustainability of this model is
something we could only achieve from the sum of
our collective experience over the last seven years.

Err… is that it?

That‟s my 30 slide summary of XL Nation, and how
it differs from XL Results Foundation.

Fine. So we have a method to our movement. We
can and will achieve World Wide Wealth. We will
achieve our XL2020 Vision.

BUT...

What about our Life Members? What about our
Country and City Leaders? What about our team in
Singapore? What about me??

That‟s why there aren‟t 34 slides here. There are
64. Bear with me, the best is yet to come…

A Chance in a Lifetime
Let‟s start with our Life Members. For simplicity, we
could group them all into four categories:

The „Raving Fans‟ who have already gotten value
for money and who will support our journey to
World Wide Wealth come what may

The „Advocates‟ who are occasionally involved and
who see membership as something for life, with a
stream of value to dip into occasionally

The „Spectators‟ who are waiting for the right game
to play, and until then will be inactive

And the „Disengaged‟ who will transfer out when the
opportunity presents itself

A Chance in a Lifetime
For the „Raving Fans‟, the chance to have a Senate
seat and be a Founding Member of this
extraordinary Nation is value enough.

For the „Advocates‟, the question now is “How has
the value stream changed from what I was
promised?”

Here‟s a before an after list of the twelve things you
will find in the Life Member Handbook. I‟m going
through each one in detail so have a good read of
each!

Benefits of XL Founding Membership
1. MOMENTUMS: WAS monthly events in each
city (up to maybe fifty cities each month. NOW
guest attendance at any of the thousands of XL
Circles around the world PLUS access to all
regional and global momentums around the world
in real-time online.

2. COACHING: WAS free certification. NOW free
certification. All coaching will now also be taking
place as international events with international
networking, beginning in Bali.

3. INTERNATIONAL NETWORK: WAS global
network to connect with online, offline. NOW far
larger and more organised community.

4. OPPORTUNITIES EXCHANGE: WAS theory of
global opportunities online. NOW with both XL
World and Opportunities as a key part of every
Circle, we have a flow to ensure the effect of a
WDE every day online.

5. LOCAL WORKSHOPS: WAS access to power-
ups and local meetings. NOW same promise at a
far greater and more organised scale.

6. COUNTRY TOURS: WAS access to country
tours. NOW access to country and world tours at a
higher level of quality and attraction.

7. MAJOR EVENTS: WAS discount vouchers and
crewing at major events. NOW with my content
focus, my major events will grow and with the XL
Infinity Market the special offers available events
worldwide will be far wider.

8. XL VISION VILLAS: WAS access to Vision
Villas at special rates. NOW Vision Villas has
grown in scale from previously, and the specials
remain.

9. SOCIAL ENTERPRISE: WAS combined
measure through the XL SEA program. NOW the
same and more, with each circle being
measured, we will have real time results of our
giving.

10. WORLD WIDE WEALTH: WAS having access
to the many initiatives taking place towards World
Wide Wealth. NOW with our new structure these
initiatives will be far more accessible, categorised
and easy to find.

11. XL OPPORTUNITIES: WAS access to
opportunities to be a
speaker, reporter, ambassador. NOW this has just
turbo charged.

12. DISCOUNTS & PRIVILEGES: WAS access to
vouchers produced centrally. NOW access to a
global market updated in real time.

13. MEMBERSHIP VALUE: WAS a transferable
asset. NOW one of 3,600 Senate Seats so equally
transferable but now limited and of value beyond
belonging, as only the seats have a say as
Guardians of the Light.

14. AND THE REST OF IT: In addition to those
benefits listed in the Life Member Handbook, there
are all the new benefits listed in the ten step tour
right here.

If you want to direct any Life Member to this full list
of benefits, you can find it here:

html

MORE, MORE, MORE!
“Yeah, but”… I hear you hear. “Don‟t I get all those as an
XL Citizen? Why not just sell my XL Life Membership and
pay my $360, hmm? Gimme MORE!”

Enough, already…
We‟re now addressing not the raving fans or the
advocates. We‟re now addressing the spectators
and the disengaged.

We could go through the full benefits that a Life
Member gets that an XL Citizen does not, from the
enhanced trust that comes from being a Guardian
to the extra privileges that XL Citizens simply do not
have access to, and you will find there is a detailed
checklist of the differences on XL World, as well as
a video posted this work.

But all of this will fall on deaf ears to anyone who
remains a spectator or disengaged. So here‟s the
plan…

The Bali Convention
In the next six months from now until the Bali
Convention on October 13, 2009, we will be holding
monthly Senate Sessions. We will all be launching
XL Circles. Those who show up, will see the value
through the process.
BALI XL is not a place to go to. It is a place to come from.
CONVENTION The Value of XL does not come from the
„benefits‟, it comes from the „experience‟.
October 13 2009

Each month, those who take up the XL Leader and
XL Guardian positions in each circle will join the XL
Forum and will be voting on all the changes and
developments within XL. Our constitution and our
community will be shaped in the next six months by
those who show up.

The Bali Convention
This month we are publishing the full seating plan
of the XL Senate. You have a seat with your name
on it. So do all the other XL Founding Members.
Our collective job in the coming six months is to
turn each seat either:
BALI 1. GREEN – That member is in a circle
CONVENTION 2. YELLOW – Not in a circle yet but remaining an
XL Founding Member
October 13 2009
3. RED – Seat to be sold either because it is
vacant or the Member wants to sell

Until the end of 2010 (or until the Senate votes
otherwise), only Founding Members can launch
and lead XL Circles. So we expect many XL
Citizens to want Senate seats.

The Bali Convention
At the Bali Convention we will be ratifying the
Constitution, voting in the 2010 Leadership and
acknowledging our progress towards World Wide
Wealth. This will then be reported to the bodies on
global change including the United Nations and
BALI World Bank.
CONVENTION We will also be announcing the award winners of
our XL Extraordinary Lives, recognising all XL
October 13 2009
Founding Members and approving the XL Nation
budget for 2010.

The new global leadership, elected annually, will
have a two month transition and take the helm on
the 1st January.

The Bali Convention
We have some targets that we would love to
achieve by the Bali Convention. You might think
these are conservative (we do), or you might think
they are ambitious. Our goal is:

BALI 1. To have 100 well-functioning Circle Groups
2. To have attracted 10,000 new XL Citizens into
CONVENTION XL Nation through referral and online
3. To have sponsored in at least 5,000 of these
October 13 2009
10,000 (the rest will be on a wait list until they
have an XL Citizen sponsor them in)
4. To have filled and colour coded at least 90% of
the 3,600 Senate Seats, to have at least 33%
(1,200) of them green.
5. To be on track for $10 million in measurable
2009 donations towards World Wide Wealth.

… Oh, by the way…
I‟m taking it for granted that you‟ve been following
developments of XL National Day, where we signed
the Declaration of Interdependence and past over
the XL Torch.

BALI It was a magical day and marked the beginning of
XL Nation. Every year March 31 – XL National Day
CONVENTION – will be a day of celebration, and October 13 – The
Bali Convention – will be a day of collaboration:
October 13 2009
Liberation vs Deliberation

If you missed it, you‟ll find the key videos and blogs
on the event on XL World and on my blogs. You can

Twitter at http://twitter.com/xlnation

Who’s Doing What?
Over the next six months, here‟s a summary of
who‟s doing what – then I‟ll get on to how this
affects you and, like I mentioned earlier, my request
I have for you.

Like I said, this is my most comprehensive
explanation to date so get keep with it. We‟re in the
final straight!

1. XL NATION: The Transformation Team, led by
Michelle, Jeanette and Tracey, is now working
on all the support material for new XL Citizens
and all the help guides on leading Circles and
creating flow within XL Nation. All the details on
XL World.

Who’s Doing What?
2. XL RESULTS FOUNDATION: Will continue to
operate as the Steward to the Senate. This
means managing and selling all Senate seats
available. Lead by Michelle and the Mission
Control Team, all Country & City Leaders
continue have a role through to year end (and
beyond if they still have seats as assets to sell).

All XL Circles will have a City and Country
Leader to represent them in city, country and
global events, programs and initiatives. This will
in the first instance be the existing XL Leaders
provided you are leading a Circle (which is
effectively a turbo-powered power-up)

Teresa who?
If you haven‟t met her yet, Teresa Stott has moved
from Texas to Bali, to take on the role of General
Manager of XL Group.

She is a super-supporter with a finance background
 and the two of us working together is proving to
be far greater than the sum of our parts. She is
leading the financial management and leadership of
the companies while I focus at content creation.

My focus will be on turning from a presenter to a
producer – where all my content can be leveraged
more easily for the benefit of all. The XL Nation
training videos are examples of that.

Say hi at teresa.stott@resultsfoundation.com

Our next six months…
At the XL Leaders Meeting Darshana, Andy, Marcus
and Dave presented on the different opportunities
available to all our existing leaders. While we are
intent on XL Nation being able to achieve World
Wide Wealth without us being the bottleneck, we
also want to make sure that we all are able to play
effectively in the playground.

Over the next six months we want to make sure that
we‟ve all found a place that fits us and allows us to
create flow and be the change.

So here‟s a simple action plan of what we‟d like to
achieve together in the coming months:

Step One: To connect with you (both at an XLRF
level with Michelle and at an XL Group level with
Teresa and myself) to hear your thoughts on the
way forward for you and your team – your actions
within XL Nation and your interest in working with
any of the XL Group companies: Whether at the XL
Event level, WDI level, WD level, or otherwise.

Step Two: At an XLRF level, to discuss a plan with
your city that identifies the leaders to grow XL
Nation, your collections and seat statuses as a
Steward of the Senate, and your own plan to be an
XL City / Country Circle Leader and what support
we can provide you.

Step Three: To organise revenue generating activity
to make 2009 the year you want to make it, whether
that is tours towards a major event, information
sessions, or otherwise. We have at least $6 million
in Senate Seats available and I know that I will be
active in selling these now that they have become
so much more attractive (Within hours of launching
XL Nation the first seat was already bought).

I‟m in London for the UK WDE next week, then
back in Bali at the end of the month. From next
week, Teresa will be connecting with you and we‟ll
schedule a call between us to catch up and share
steps forward

Now it’s your turn…
It is my belief that this economic crisis and our own
internal revolution has opened up enormous
opportunity for all of us, and now is the critical
moment for us to question what part we want to
play in this transformation.

What does this change mean for you? Like a storm
at sea it can be seen as a reason to batten down
the hatches, to get seasick, or to see the
opportunity to reach our destination faster.

Now is the time to study the many opportunities we
now have opened up. Speak to
me, Dave, Michelle, Teresa. Speak to
Darshana, Dan and Andy. Take the following five
steps…

Now it’s your turn…
April is the time for spring cleaning. So please do
take the opportunity now to:

1. Become an expert and advocate of XL Nation.
Watch the videos. Read the guides.
2. Share your insights with your XL Life Members.
Set up an XL Circle for your city
3. Plan your schedule for the year, and set your
revenue and service targets
4. Set your new standards of what you want to
give and what you want to get as a Steward of
the Senate.
5. Schedule a time with Teresa for us to catch up
and align our efforts.

The Big Ask
And finally here‟s my big request to you…

The Big Ask
And finally here‟s my big request to you…

Our greatest challenge as we have centrally transmitted value,
service, communication, is that even a fire hydrant of flow cannot
reach all parts of this ever-growing garden.

Even now, as I transmit this message, many will not see it. Our
channels of flow are not enough to carry the spirit of what we are
doing to everyone in the playground.

What I ask of you is not to simply re-transmit the message. That
was the old model. Yes, you can direct people to this power point
or the videos, but that is not my request to you.

The Big Ask
What I ask of you is not to lead, but to be a leader. Not to do, but
to be. As an XL Citizen, I commit every day to wake up into the
garden that XL has given me. To live by example, to enhance
and enchant. To live by truth, trust and trade.

I have committed to four XL Circles and I will show up, step
up, give back within four cells out of a hundred. In my small
contribution, I contribute to the whole – and to you. In every
action I take, every conversation I make, every thought I create, I
commit to our purpose of effective giving and our united vision of
World Wide Wealth. I do this for me, for you, for us. I ask you to
commit fully to this way of being too.

The Big Ask

While this request may seem trivial or peripheral to the things we
must „do‟, to me it is anything but. It is the essence of what we
as XL Citizens and Stewards of the Senate must be. It‟s easy to
go through the motions and forget. It‟s easy to have fear, doubt
and anxiety. That isn‟t XL. That isn‟t us.

That‟s my request to you. Not for us to be a channel of flow in
the garden but for us to be the raindrops.

Every day, wake up, read the XL Declaration, live your day like it
were your last. Be the change. Do this every day, and we have
already achieved our promise.

In us we trust.

The XL Declaration of Interdependence

Author, Tahnee Wolfe.

Theresa Hamilton,
First Reading

I am
Beyond fear, beyond ego, beyond limitation,
I am

I stand
Sharing this precious earth with nature and all living creatures,
I stand

I feel
The heartbeats of my fellow citizens, beating in time around the globe,
I feel

I breathe
The same air breathed by the ancients, and breathed by generations to come,
I breathe

I build
Wisdom, resources, an ever expanding circle of trust,
I build

<cont..>

I see
The future that already exists within our collective dreaming,
I see

I grow
My passion, my wealth, my connection with my community,
I grow

I hear
The siren call of those in need, my heart deepening with compassion and love,
I hear

I give
With generosity and grace, inspiring others to do the same,
I give

I live
Shining my unique essence, connects to my deepest purpose, fulfilling my boldest vision,
I live

<cont..>

I AM
A Citizen
Born for this moment
Chosen for this extraordinary live
Connected by spirit to all who form this circle

I am
A guardian of this sacred promise
I am

This Declaration has two cycles of five statements linked to the five elements, creating
the infinity sign. When reading it as a group, a single reader reads the first two lines of
each statement and everyone joins in on the third line.

Post this declaration up in your home. Read it out every day.
When you read it, read it from the heart. Read it at every XL Circle.

If you ever question where XL is, read this. XL is right here. Always.
