What is the Producer Revolution™?

The FreeCapitalist Project advances its mission through three key initiatives. The Producer Revolution™ is the name of the Project’s Personal Development & Leadership Initiative.

History/Background
The Producer Revolution is a term originally developed in concert with the FreeCapitalist Project in 2006.  While the term has been used in various capacities over several years, on January 20, 2009 the Project formally launched the Producer Revolution™ as its official leadership development program. The program is offered to any member of the Project who has a) an above average interest in living a free and powerfully prosperous life, b) in transcending the Consumer Condition™ of fear and scarcity, and c) in helping to advance the cause of all FreeCapitalists by becoming a leader in the Project.

A Unique Opportunity
While all members of the Project support the premise that ‘fostering full economic freedom lies at the base of our liberties’, and the idea that ‘only in perpetuating economic freedom can our social, political and religious liberties be preserved’ the Producer Revolution provides an opportunity for the Project’s most deeply committed members to work at becoming united in the Producer Mindset, dedicated to becoming key contributors and extraordinary leaders in their families, their communities, and in the Project.

The Producer Revolution is a mindset; it’s a revolution in your personal frame-of-mind and your personal perspective on how you see the world.  It’s a paradigm shift and a transformation where you start to view your role in the world as a contributor rather than a taker. - Les McGuire

The Producer Revolution consists of five, highly unique and inter-related components:

1. FreeCapitalist Conferences (3-day Events)
After successfully hosting a preliminary 3-day “Prosperity Prime” event at the FreeCapitalist mansion in Alpine, UT in August of 2008 the Project announced a program of monthly FreeCapitalist Conferences.  As part of the Producer Revolution program, the Project now hosts monthly 3-day events called FreeCapitalist Conferences which are scheduled on a yearly calendar, at specifically selected venues across the globe.  The events are held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

• Thursday includes a planned social activity and a presentation of the Project’s basic mission, acknowledgement of individual members, and awards. The Thursday evening event is offered without charge* and is open to the general membership of the Project, and to guests interested in learning more about the Project.

*There may be fees or other minor costs related to dinner on Thursday.

• Friday is a one-day, intensive training event related to the Project’s core philosophy, as presented through the Project’s Prosperity Prime^TM teaching model. This all day intensive is designed to empower active members of the project in their personal quest to live free, happy, and powerfully prosperous lives.

Project members pay a $995 tuition for the day, while active Producer Revolution participants attend the seminar without a tuition cost.
Note:  These one-day intensives replace the Prosperity Quest Mentoring 1-day workshops previously offered four times a year through American Founders University for $4,295.

• Saturday is dedicated to a unique, Producer Round Table event where participants receive the personal attention and opportunity for individual development, transformation, and empowerment through association with FreeCapitalist Project leaders and fellow Producers who each dedicate a portion of the day to each individual participants definite chief aim. This mentoring Round Table creates an environment for feedback, instruction, challenging questions and critical scrutiny of each participant’s current work. Fellowship and lasting relationships are cultivated in the Round Table.

Participation on Saturday is limited to active Producer Revolution participants.

2. Introduction to the Thirteen Principles of Prosperity (Home Study Course)
In partnership with American Founders University, the Project offers members of the Producer Revolution the full version of this university caliber course, which is designed as a comprehensive introduction to the 13 Principles of Prosperity (which forms the first thirteen ideas at the core of the Project’s philosophy).  The course is offered as a home-study learning program, comprised of fifteen lectures delivered by Project Founder C. Rick Koerber (originally delivered in a live 15-week series) and are now made available in a 20 DVD set.  In addition, members receive an in depth 450-page student manual/workbook that corresponds with the lectures.

Note:  Members of the Project have the opportunity to purchase this course, and the 450-page student manual/workbook separately for $995

3. Prosperity Quest™ (Self-Paced Application)
In order to assist members in actually applying the 42-ideas contained in the Prosperity Prime™ model, beginning with the 13 principles, Prosperity Quest™ utilizes  the fresh and powerful concept of ‘questing’ in an exceptionally unique and empowering 90° personal development program where each of ninety degrees are earned as participants successfully implement specific, detailed, “bite sized” action steps.  The process of earning these degrees comprises a significant path of personal transformation, increase in abilities, and the realization of a more refined and expanded Human Life Value.  A significant portion of the quests, in addition to containing internal, intrinsic rewards, also offer external rewards in the form of money, gifts, emblems, artifacts, travel opportunities, and much more.  The Degree Quests, Achievement Quests, Producer Quests, and Guild Quests all focus on internalizing and applying the fundamental principles of freedom, prosperity, and peace.  Quests and educational content are delivered and administered at the participant’s own pace via email, PDF downloads, and video segments (both streaming and downloadable).

Note:  The Prosperity Quest program, as of January 2009, is only offered by the Project to active participants in the Producer Revolution.

4. Producer Coaching™
Members of the Project who choose to actively participate in the Producer Revolution receive regularly scheduled, one-on-one personal coaching sessions, which are personalized to each member’s life and personal objectives.  Each session is focused on achieving principled, individual prosperity and success while at the same time helping to expand the leadership responsibilities and opportunities available to members through the Project.  Special emphasis is given in the first stages of the coaching program to holding members accountable to their progress through the 13 Principles of Prosperity course and in successfully obtaining their first degrees in the Prosperity Quest program.  The Project’s coaches are all members of governing FreeCapitalist Councils whose own understanding of principle, and personal experience in the Project is a tremendous asset for participants.   Sessions are conducted via teleconference, with a schedule frequency that begins as once-a-month and expands as members achieve progress in the Prosperity Quest program.

5. Leadership Opportunities—including paid positions for those who help build the FreeCapitalist Project.
All members of the Project have opportunities to participate and lead in the Community Building Initiative through Study Groups and Forums.  Project members who elect to participate in the Producer Revolution have an additional and unique opportunity’s in leadership related to his or her individual interests and abilities.  These leadership opportunities include full and part time positions as a Community Organizer, Presenter, Speaker, Teacher, Recruiter, Coach, Mentor, Writer, Fundraiser and several other capacities.  While incentive based compensation is offered to all participants in the Producer Revolution, individuals most suited for these leadership positions generally fall into three broad categories.

1)    Those whose current professional or vocational pursuits are not providing financial, personal, and social rewards consistent with a member’s deep personal values and who are therefore looking for an opportunity to earn a living doing productive, cause oriented work, that helps further their own life’s definite chief aim.

2)    Those who are financially distressed and are looking for a way to engage in honest, reputable, and socially significant value creation in exchange for above average compensation.

3)    Those who are simply interested in advancing the cause of liberty and strengthening the Project as it pursues its mission-regardless of the financial remuneration involved.

A Call to Action
Individuals interested in exploring whether or not they qualify to participate in the Producer Revolution should understand that the value exchange proposition involved here is not charitable on the part of either party-meaning quite simply-unlike general membership in the Project, the Producer Revolution is not a ‘free’ offering, and the program is designed for only the most motivated members of the Project.  There is a significant registration fee and regular monthly dues required for participants in the Producer Revolution. The paid leadership opportunities do not involve multilevel marketing or anything similar, and are not designed primarily as income opportunities.  Instead, the Project is looking to compensate those individuals who would like to be heavily involved in helping to build and expand the project on a full or part-time basis.
