SKOOL LEVEL-FOCUS & OBJECTIVES-ALIGNMENT WITH SOURCE DOCUMENTS (ECOWAS / HAL / RD)
Level 1: Prosperity Circle
Focus: Basic financial awareness and community introduction. Content: Financial mindset basics, community guidelines.
1. Foundational Mindset & Ethical Earning (RD / ECOWAS): This level grounds participants in the fundamental principle that money is instrumental and must serve life, not become an object of worship. The goal is moderation and generosity, reinforcing that wealth is a tool for caring for family and supporting the community. This aligns with achieving the ECOWAS objective of inclusive and sustainable development for all peoples.
2. Community and Network Building (HAL / ECOWAS): Initial criteria (first post) align with establishing relationship capital. Strategies include leveraging "Contact Lists" for initial relationship development and utilizing "Religion" to establish interfaith dialogue and faith-based financial stewardship programs. The overall aim is creating social cohesion (ECOWAS Pillar 5) and addressing social development concerns.
Level 2: Money Mindset Mentors
Focus: Developing healthy money psychology. Content: Money beliefs, financial psychology, goal setting.
1. Mental Alchemy and Consciousness (RD / HAL):
This level directly addresses the Hermetic Principle of Mentalism ("The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental"). It mandates inner work to transform thoughts and beliefs, aligning the mind with prosperity. Healthy money psychology is supported by leveraging "Intelligence" (Asset #9) for applying intelligence analysis to market research and financial analysis/investment decision making.
2. Spiritual Goal Setting (RD / Narrative):
Goal setting must integrate spiritual principles, such as aligning with the highest self. This contrasts wealth accumulation with ethical earning, where income must come from fair, non-harmful livelihoods. The pursuit of quality human capital (ECOWAS Pillar 4) stresses the value of knowledge and skills development.
Level 3: Abundant Abodes
Focus: Creating financial foundation and emergency fund. Content: Budgeting basics, emergency fund building.
1. Establishing Financial Foundation (HAL / ECOWAS):
Building financial capacity directly counters the identified ECOWAS challenges of low domestic savings and high foreign dependency for investment. This level utilizes "Credit/Credit Score/Credit Cards" (Asset #1) strategies such as leveraging credit history to secure loans for business expansion and establishing lines of credit for seasonal business fluctuations (emergency access).
2. Foundational Security and Resource Planning (RD / HAL):
The focus on an emergency fund aligns with the broader goal of Foundational Security Finance to fund essential local needs like food, water, and shelter. Leveraging "Time/Labor" (Asset #7) for time allocation analysis is crucial for resource planning and investment decision making, forming a bedrock for the financial house. The governance structure mandates securing financial resources.
Level 4: Frugal And Fabulous
Focus: Smart spending and expense optimization. Content: Expense tracking, lifestyle optimization.
1. Expense Optimization and Ethical Spending (HAL / RD):
This level emphasizes efficiency and optimization. Strategies include using "Credit/Credit Score" to negotiate better terms with suppliers and vendors and utilizing "Complaints/Bad Reviews" (Asset #18) to refine internal processes for cost-effectiveness. Lifestyle optimization aligns with the rejection of excess consumption and embracing Moderation as a guiding principle.
2. Sustainable Development and Accountability (ECOWAS / RD):
Frugality supports resource efficiency and environmental sustainability (ECOWAS Strategic Objective 4). Ethical spending is tied to the concept of Right/Living-Earning. Expense tracking provides the foundation for Transparency and Accountability in managing resources. The overall development should be environmentally friendly.
Cross-Cutting Themes for Continuous Progression:
The progression through these levels should be framed by the following concepts:
- Regenerative Credit Systems (#RCS): Financial activity moves beyond conventional banking by integrating ethical metrics. This future model links verified carbon and biodiversity restoration to financial ledgers, ensuring money serves ecological returns alongside financial ones.
- Human Asset Leveraging: Every asset, from your "Social Security Number" (used for legal entity registration/financial security) to "Ideas" (used for intellectual property development/revenue generation), is systematically leveraged to achieve financial goals.
- African Leadership (5IR): The framework aligns with Africa leading the Fifth Industrial Revolution (5IR), pivoting economic focus from extraction toward ecological restoration and spiritual resilience, providing a philosophical context for ethical wealth creation.
- HSE Model: Success in these foundation levels prepares the participant to launch or invest in Humanitarian Social Enterprises (HSEs)—businesses committed to reinvesting profits locally and operating within planetary boundaries.
