StewardHeirShip is another way of describing the Centers for Spiritual Living vision of “A World That Works for
Everyone” by Sharing New Thought Spiritual Principles
“People in the New Thought above all others should enter into the business world, into educational
vocations, into politics, into every walk of life, and there prove before a waiting world, tired of itself, that a "man's a man,“ with this difference: not a "son of man"
but a "Son of God." -- Ernest Holmes, Creative Mind
What IS God’s Business? What Does That Entail? StewardHeirShip™ Perhaps?
Universal Responsibility
We are richly blessed in the United States of America with two new and unprecedented opportunities to cocreate cause-oriented businesses based on spiritual principles.
They include the new Benefit Corporation model and the Crowd Funding provisions of the JOBS Act.
Sharing Some More Exciting Good News!
We’re combining New Thought Spiritual Principles, Practices and Values with the new Benefit Corporation model and the Crowd Funding provisions of the JOBS Act to help foster innovation, collaboration, job creation, enlightened entrepreneurship, and sustainable communities.
The recently passed JOBS Act creates Crowd Funding opportunities, eases IPO rules, and will let businesses advertise and raise up to a million dollars a year in equity capital from up to 2,000 non-accredited investors. It also allows non-accredited investors new opportunities to invest in these companies based upon a percentage of their income.
Our Strategy is to Establish a Network of New Thought Spirit in Business Benefit
Benefit Corporations are a new class of cause-oriented corporation that create a material positive impact on society and environment
Nine States have passed legislation: Hawaii, Maryland, New York,
Vermont, Virginia, New Jersey, California, Louisiana, and South Carolina
Legislation is pending in : Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina,
Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC
Certified B Corps are a new type of corporation (usually in States that haven’t passed Benefit Corporation legislation) which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.
B Corporations are a diverse community with one unifying goal:
to redefine success in business
There are over 500 Certified B Corporations across 60 different industries. www.bcorporation.net

"Inherently, each one of us has the substance within to achieve whatever our goals and
dreams define. What is missing from each of us is the training, education, knowledge and
insight to utilize what we already have.”

Les Brown--Helping Expand the Circle of Success
“The innovative community empowerment model that Charles Betterton created has evolved since 1990 when he produced the first Community Unity Celebration with Norman Vincent Peale and me into an enlightened entrepreneurship program that helps ‘Expand the Circle of Success.’
I have enjoyed working with Charles several times helping him implement his award-winning CAN DO! programs for youth and ‘disadvantaged populations’ and I proudly support this project.” -- Les Brown
