What is XL Nation?

The Global Nation for World Wide Wealth, Connecting the World’s Change Makers

Why are we here?

• In 2001 inspired individuals, entrepreneurs, and business people had a vision for the future – referred to as Vision 2020 – where it was understood that the fulfilment on the UN Millennium Goals may not happen if left to local governments because of their limited remit; the world’s “movers and shakers” would have to be the ones to transcend local limitations – and unite globally to bring about change

• The positive social changes the Founding Members stood for was summarised in three words: “World Wide Wealth”; this includes such important causes as the eradication of hunger and poverty, sustainable living, human empowerment, and the experience of fulfilment available for all people: that every person can give and receive at their full potential – our definition of “Wealth”

• In 2008, the Founding Members formed XL Nation, “the Global Nation for World Wide Wealth, Connecting the World’s Change Makers”

• Today we have citizens around the world making a difference in their local and global communities, fulfilling and expanding the Founders’ vision

Who is involved?

• XL Nation has citizens of a variety of backgrounds, locations, professions and levels of success

• XL Nation attracts people that are committed to bringing about World Wide Wealth – this fundamentally means that our community is constituted by people whose life is about making a positive difference

How does the nation work?

• XL Nation is a Community of people from around the world that share a common purpose and a common language to accelerate our fulfilment of the purpose

• Our Purpose: We are the Global Nation for World Wide Wealth, Connecting the World’s Change Makers

• Our language is given by the principles of creating wealth – contributing and receiving fully – through a set of principles known as Wealth Dynamics

• Wealth Dynamics provides a set of profiling tools, concepts and principles that enable individuals and organisations to be in flow to create wealth naturally and sustainably

• This combination of deep, powerful connections forged by a common purpose with tools to accelerate our ability to contribute and receive fully creates a unique nation – one where literally anything is possible

Where XL Nation is headed...

“Rather than being a country people are born into, XL Nation is a country people are born for.”

“XL Nation is on its way to be the first borderless Nation defined not by history, geography or lines on a map – but rather by the difference people want to make.”

“Facebook is like a country organised around a platform; XL Nation is a country organised around a promise – the future is here.”

“We find that a focus on fulfilling the Promise (as opposed to being Popular or other survival-based approach to governance) has only expanded and accelerated our effectiveness and created an environment of trust and certainty. We are well on our way to being the first Nation in the World to be IN FLOW.”

“As a successful person, I often find myself mentoring others. With the Green Room, I finally have a place where I can establish meaningful connections with like-minded peers.”

“We have come a long way this year and are now in Surplus”
