Although the radical techniques and delightful results of The Peace Company (PC) have been tested and proven over a fifteen year period, the “business model” of the Company is a new millennium experiment. The Peace Company is an evolving, cooperative community. More specifically, the Company is organized as a “social business,” which means:

1. The Peace Company is owned by those it serves; and
2. Any profits generated by the Company do not go to outside investors, but rather go back into the business to help solve the deep, ingrained worldwide problem of people suffering and/or living and working in un-peace.

We are not a non-profit organization. We are a “for profit” business, organized like other “for profit” businesses. We pay reasonable fees to our peace teachers, coaches and trainers, and offer fair compensation to our suppliers, distributors and agents. However, any “excess” profits that are made above these expenses are put back into the Company to help expand our services to people around the world, and to train and pay more peace coaches, educators and “principals.”

The most well-known and successful example of  a “social business” is the Grameen Bank in  Bangladesh, which has helped over four million poor women by offering small “micro-loans”  —from $25.00 to $100.00 – so that they can start their own small businesses. The model has proven very successful, and the founder of the Grameen Bank, Muhammad Yunus, was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work.

How to Works:

Social businesses can be organized and operate in a lot of different ways. Here’s how the Peace Company is organized and operated:

For Customers: You learn this radical new approach to living in peace by

1. Attending a seminar or workshop put on by the Peace Company
2. Buying books, tapes, CD or DVD’s from the Peace Company
3. Signing up for a correspondence course,
4. Signing up for a personal peace coach

Here’s what’s unique about this process:  ALL OF YOUR FEES FOR THE ABOVE ARE CONVERTED INTO SHARES OF THE PEACE COMPANY (One dollar = One Share.) So when you invest your money in learning how to enjoy peace of mind, you are directly investing in The Peace Company and thus you become part owner of The Company.

This is a new, unique and evolving business structure, not only for The Peace Company but as a “new approach” to small business corporations around the world. We are proud to be part of this new movement. We believe it is the future of bringing back corporate responsibility through “real peoples’ capitalism.”

We are still in the early stages of developing this new business model, but as we progress, people are actually transforming their work and home lives through the peace practices we teach  and their daily lives are thus richer, healthier, more fun! .
