Introducing “Golden Co-Commitments”: Truly Win-Win Relationships

How you can build thriving, values-based partnerships that pave the way for a Golden Age for yourself and all of humanity

I’m excited to share a new concept with you that I've been thinking about for quite some time:

This idea came to me as I contemplated the way I personally build relationships with people I like, believe in, and think are doing great things for the world.

I wanted to give this type of partnership a name so that others could adopt it and create more win-win relationships.

So, let's dive in! 🤝

The Essence of Golden Co-Commitments 🔑

A Golden Co-Commitment is a friendship and partnership agreement between two values-aligned people who want to support each other's success in any way they can.

The core idea is that both individuals agree to give spare capital (not just financial) to each other whenever they can, creating a mutually beneficial relationship. 🤗

Golden Co-Commitments are rooted in three key principles:

1. Equality 🫡: Both parties treat each other as equals and with respect. Nobody is superior or inferior in the relationship.

2. Fairness ⚖️: The exchange of capital and support is fair and balanced. No one takes advantage of the other person's kindness or resources.

3. Mutual respect and love 🫂: Both individuals genuinely care for each other's well-being and are invested in their success.

Types of Capital Exchanged in Golden Co-Commitments 🎁

Golden Co-Commitments go beyond the traditional financial support. Various types of capital can be exchanged between the two people, such as:

1. Money 💵

2. Time ⏰

3. Creativity 🎨

4. Infrastructure 🏢

5. Physical Property 🏡

6. Relationships 👥

7. And more! 🌐

The diverse range of assets that can be exchanged allows for unique dynamics and endless possibilities within these co-commitments.

Benefits of Golden Co-Commitments ✨

Golden Co-Commitments offer numerous benefits, including:

1. Enhanced personal and professional growth 🚀

2. Access to new opportunities and resources 🌈

3. Stronger, more meaningful relationships 🤗

4. Encouragement to achieve your goals and dreams 🌟

5. A support system during challenging times 🤗

How to Forge Golden Co-Commitments 💡

To create a Golden Co-Commitment with someone, both individuals must:

1. Be honest and transparent about their intentions, goals, and boundaries 🗣️

2. Communicate openly about their bandwidth and respect each other's limitations 🎛️

3. Actively support and encourage one another in their personal and professional endeavors 🎉

Three Examples of People I Have Forged Golden Co-Commitments With 🤝

Three friends I have been deeply trusting, mutualistic friendship-partnerships with include:

1. Marcus:

   • He provides, when he can: connections to leaders around the world, spiritual counsel

   • I offer, when I can: paid opportunities for him to get paid for his connections

2. Camara:

   • She provides, when she can: spiritual counsel, connections to certain future-builders, project advice

   • I offer, when I can: a variety of connections, my movement building advice, my content creation advice

3. John:

   1. He provides, when he can: legal tips, political strategy, storytelling advice, career advice

   2. I offer, when I can: event planning support, marketing advice

Hope these examples are helpful. As you can see, there is no one size fits all shape of Co-Commitment even in my life. It’s all case by case, but in each Co-Commitment, there is a deep love and appreciation for each other’s life’s work.

Initiating a Golden Co-Commitment 🎇

Starting a Golden Co-Commitment can be a rewarding experience for both parties involved.

Here's a simple guide on how to initiate this unique partnership:

1. Learn about each other's values, visions, and actions

Before embarking on a Golden Co-Commitment, it's essential to understand each other's values and visions for the future. Share your goals and aspirations, as well as the steps you're taking to achieve them. This will help you gauge whether your values align and if a mutually beneficial partnership is possible.

2. Express your interest in a mutually beneficial relationship

If you find that you connect with the other person's values and vision, and they seem equally interested in yours, feel comfortable expressing your desire to build a mutually beneficial relationship. You can bring this up in one of your next meetings, explaining that you'd like to create a Golden Co-Commitment with them.

3. Begin offering support and assistance

If the other person is receptive to the idea, start helping them whenever you have spare capacity. This could involve offering resources, advice, or simply being there to lend a listening ear. As you demonstrate your commitment to their success, they are more likely to notice your dedication and reciprocate their support when they can.

There is no one right way to initiative a Golden Co-Commitment. But by following a process like the one outlined above, you can initiate a powerful, long-lasting partnership that benefits both parties and contributes to a brighter future for all.

Conclusion: Go All In On Golden Co-Commitments 🌞

By establishing Golden Co-Commitments, you can build strong, long-lasting relationships rooted in equality, fairness, and mutual respect.

So, go ahead and start forging your own Golden Co-Commitments with those around you, and together, we can create a Golden Age for humanity!
