Who we are

 

LLIFE was founded in 2001 with the mission of empowering networks of African American communities to become economically, politically, and socially viable.  We do so by subscribing to a unique perspective of interdependence, developing a community of like-minded individuals that are committed to a specific, well-defined vision, and building capabilities for achieving the vision.

Our strategies are based upon leading edge and age-old principled leadership, strength through building networks of capable and interdependent enterprises, thorough training in leadership and business principles, and a practical and strategic view of our client’s hierarchy of needs.  


Our Goals

 

To build a community where inhabitants live life according to the will of God, where the structure of the community mitigates adversity, and where all emotional, spiritual, and financial needs are meet in abundance through interdependency.  

Unifying Principles

Ideals that bring our community together are rooted in deep respect for mankind, and the world in which we live.  Specifically, we support:

Spiritual and Intellectual Growth
Personal Integrity and Responsibility
Commitment to Excellence and Physical Wellness
Human Dignity and Equality
Service
Political and Economic Justice
Renewal of Community and the Environment

Our Strategies:  How we are accomplishing our goals

Our success strategies govern all our activities.  We firmly believe that a firm understanding of a success process is critical to each of our members.   Strategies include:

Education
Organization
Networks
Support

We supply education that enhances understanding of not only our process, but also prepares our members (and non-members) for success experiences in other aspects of their lives. Appropriate organization guides structure and activities, and leads to abundance.  Caring and sharing though a  series of interrelated Networks permit the community to grow.
