In 2001, Chris and Janet Attwood partnered with best selling authors Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and Robert G. Allen, author of Nothing Down, the best-selling real estate investment book of all time. Together they created "The Enlightened Millionaire Program," a unique mentoring program that has taught thousands of people the principles of creating wealth in ways that benefit not only the individuals directly involved, but others and the planet as well.
Considering the dynamism of the people involved, it is not surprising the program evolved. “I remember Janet saying, ‘You know, what it really feels like we're doing here is connecting so many great and wonderful people in the world and really making it possible to create a cosmic army to bring in this new age,” says Chris. “And really, of course, we are just playing a small part in that. But out of that comment came this idea for creating alliances and long-term relationship between people who are really committed to making positive major differences in the world.”
Thus Janet and Chris started Enlightened Alliances, LLC, a marketing consulting company that creates marketing programs and alliance relationships for programs like the Enlightened Millionaire, Harv Eker 's Peak Potentials training programs, the Kabbalah Center, the Life Foundation Intl., and others.
The company expanded rapidly as Janet and Chris started implementing ways to increase their personal effectiveness based upon principles and methods Janet had set out in an ebook she had written years earlier called The Passion Test. Through the Enlightened Millionaire program the Attwoods then met Ric and Liz Thompson who had an idea for creating an online magazine called Healthy, Wealthy nWise. The four partnered on the magazine. Very quickly the foundational theme to the magazine’s lead stories, which featured people like Wayne Dyer, Robert Kiyosaki, Neale Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson, and Jack Canfield, became passion. Why passion?
“That's really the starting place for everyone in terms of being able to live their mission and to fulfill their purpose on the planet,” explains Chris. “It really starts with understanding their passion.”
Soon the magazine stories evolved into teleconferences, which expanded into tapes, transcripts and a CD series. People who ordinarily could not afford access to transformational seminars, were being assisted via the free teleconferences which soon were regularly pulling in 500 to 1500 participants. Sales of tapes and CDs to those who could afford them helped pay for the free teleconferences. Next > 1 2
