Problem: The empowerment of the youth of our community and our planet along the lines of the right ideas and the best ideas is the core nexus for improvement all over planet earth. However, world history shows us that whenever there are economic downturns leading to social strains in any country the subsequent socio-political  environment  can spawn violent and counter-productive ideologies and ‘isms’ (like fascism, communism and Islamicism) that can  infect the entire youth of a nation, eventually spreading worldwide.  In every community social breakdowns leading to unemployment, job dislocation, and divorce can lead to a social debt that weakens a community through subsequent death, divorce, teenage pregnancy, and crime at ascending levels of economic expense spiking at $30,000 a year to incarcerate one ‘deviant’ individual per year (US) .   

Social science research has determined that the quality of relationship secured by the teacher/mentor/coach in a local school will have a huge impact on academic comprehension and character persuasion thus making it the key leverage point to turn the planet for good, starting with the interaction of positively contributing adults with available youth.

In some developing communities the importance of local schools to educate the youth is one of the top priorities for the development of a country in order to prepare it to make a positive contribution to the planet as a whole.

As education systems are established and improved through public and private sector endeavors the key to the process is motivating the young person through a type of parenting or parenting enhancement that involves the attention of a caring and competent adult in the community in an area of life in which the kid is developing interest or passion.

Sports and the Culture Arts are some of the core avenues for establishing a relationship with the up and coming youth in order to shape their lives through competition and continuous improvement to empower them to ultimately make their best contribution to society.

Sports facilities currently being established have yet to discover the proper equation that will enable it to make an exemplary business enterprise while sustaining its attempt to provide an avenue of influence through sports in their local community. Seldom do sports, recreation and cultural arts enterprises synergize with local educational and government sponsored enterprises to bring about a triple bottom line benefit ; economically, socially and spiritually ( in the sense of moral formation that starts with right ideas in life to give them the footing to discover the best ideas).  There has not been any comprehensive long term strategy that takes the effective work and learning of different sectors of our society to synergize into a collaborative whole to create a better world, locally and globally.

Mission : To create state of the art Sports and Cultural centers that are profitable at the triple bottom line worldwide

Summary : The Champions OmniPlex (CPX)  is the new and improved YMCA, the Starbucks for Team Sports, the Planet Hollywood for Community Events and Activiites in a local community that makes it possible for someone to reach out and touch others close and far away.  It will have at its core, a loose/tight collaboration of Speed and Strength Coaches and Community based Counselors who will mentor kids in their sport and in their life with increasingly levels of competency and collaboration with the business, professional, social and even spiritual sectors of the local community. Its healthy endorsement  of free speech, tolerance, mutual respect and the eventual invitation of all individuals and groups to participate in the greater good of their community and world will have a powerful impact through the community and region in which it flourishes.  

Anchor team sports like soccer, lacrosse, volleyball along with football and basketball will supply the base of operations that will expand out to all Olympic sports (and especially Xtreme sports like Paintball, In-Line Hockey, Skateboarding, etc. in the off season) , and then recreational activities and cultural arts programs and activities  including Cinemas/Theatres, Blue Chip Restaurants and Cafes, etc. thereby filling up the facility 24/7 , 365 days a year leading to significant economic , social and spiritual profits as groups come together to dialogue and consider their best contribution to developing a better world.

Influential leaders from all sectors will be networked and vested to create the highest impact in a local community providing the greatest attraction and involvement of customers and collaborators within an hour radius per franchise.

Prototypes will be strategically placed locally and globally to encourage the unified development of local communities so that no kid is left behind in the progress of a local city.

A real estate development group is being formed (Champions Group) to create a synergy of government, business and community leaders who will make it possible secure the establishment of a profitable CPX in their immediate community/communities.   < See Champions RED Group>

Solution:  CPX franchises will be established around a comprehensive strategy to bring high end and low end parts of a local community together to bring about a quality experience for all sectors of a local community. Three key leverage points will bring about an enterprise that will be sustainable in each category of the triple bottom line:

• Donated or Discounted land to Planet Ventures ( a not-for-profit enterprise) for use by the CPX (a for-profit enterprise) o create a favorable business environment and a sustainability business plan).
• 10% equity position of Planet Ventures in all CPX enterprises to establish a perpetual interest in the greater good of the social and spiritual sectors of the community and greater community in which the franchise resides.
• Sequential and modular development of franchise facility to be built through established revenue stream established by CPX management team in consultation with local Board.
• Multi-purpose design, transition and implementation studied and pursued to secure all sports, all recreation and all cultural arts participation in the enterprise
• Targeted use of facility during 7 month ‘off season’ period by transitioning plans included in business plan that will strategically implement Extreme Sports use, eg. Paintball, In-Line skating, Skateboardiing, etc. to ensure 24/7 and 365 days useage
• Collaboration with other ‘users’ in the community for personal fitness, educational development, seminars and convention
• Collaboration with national companies and celebrities to establish a strong attraction to the local community.

Champions OmniPleX , is an idea/enterprise spawned by Planet Ventures, that has been shaped and developed by many practitioners over the recent past, and is merely a ‘10% improvement’ that solicits apriori involvement of government, business and community leaders proactively in order to secure the possibility of a viable enterprise that may have a high impact for good  locally and globally as it grows to its full potential.

Each CPX franchise is a general partnership owned by local investors who agree with the vision and mission of Planet Ventures and its specific purpose outlined for the CPX.  This General Partnership group is enlarged by primarily extending Regionally, Nationally and Globally from the initial investors in the project. These  partners are given Preferred stock that limits their profit to a prescribed level because of their strong commitment to the triple bottom line principle as opposed to just an economic profit.

Each local franchise gives offerings through CPX LLC to allow a greater circle of investors who are allowed to invest in preferred stock and common stock ( unlimited upside) .

The above arrangement of financing protects the original mission of PV and CPX from being squeezed out by inflamed economic concerns about the triple bottom line development as the movement grows.
